Real Canasta

This is a great app that simulates real world play. I see some other people in here complaining about the computer always getting better cards. It seems like that would be an absurd tactic by the developer and people are just being a little foolish about those comments. My wife and I have friends that we play with online. It’s amazing that you can talk to them through the app while you’re playing. Really enjoy this app.

I have the dumbest robo dummy possible. How can we choose another one? This dummy seems to want to help us lose. It throws out cards that are obviously going to be picked up by the opponent. I am so frustrated I am about to cancel my subscription. Another complaint is the opponent always seems to have the ability to lay meld immediately after I do, or most of the time has the correct amount of wild cards and runs to go down immediately. I feel so frustrated every time I play canasta on line because I am positive the odds are set against the real player. Give us some options!!!!! Oh yeah, how about a break for those that have signed up for both Mahjong and Canasta? Please?

This game is pretty cool, but there are a few things I wish the developers would address. First, the computers start with 2 jokers (jokers, not wilds) 90% of the time, allowing them to almost always go down first. Seriously, it’s weird. I’ve gotten maybe 3 jokers total, ever, yet somehow computer 3 has 2+ almost every game. Next, and more importantly, I wish there was a way to turn off double tap to discard. No matter how careful I am, I seem to always accidentally discard cards that I really need. I play on my iPad. I ALWAYS drag and never use double tap, so I wish I could turn it off. My final issue with the computers is that they’re computers and clearly counting cards the entire time in a way humans are not capable of. I wish instead of them being 100% perfect players all day they were more human-like. My computer partner always sits on amazing hands to try and get a special hand. Sure maybe it’s statistically the best chance of “winning” the round but that doesn’t help when the other team ends up with 4000+ points. And one more thing! I would love a joint subscription option for this game and mahjong. I don’t have time to play either enough to pay $14 a month but $8 or something would be awesome:
