No wildcards for two hands. *2026-09-07, version 1.3.1* I don’t get any wildcards most of the time. Mostly never get to pick up deck. The deal is almost always bad. ### 3/5 — Enjoyable, but it cheats *2026-08-25, version 1.3.1* More than once I’ve thrown a card the computer needs but it selects the pile and amazingly it’s a red 3?? Also, the side throwing away to me will most likely throw something I don’t have or perhaps only 1 not a pair. Still it possible to win just frustrating at times. ### 3/5 — Okay(ish) *2026-08-16, version 1.3.0* I enjoy the game, but it’s no way close to real - in the four player game your partner commits ‘throw out’ suicide so often it ruins the game. Furthermore, it’s like the AI opponents know what you have 😉 - their throw out luck is amazing. Also they always seem to get dealt superb opening hands with high cards galore, seemingly laying down with ease. I’m always picking up cards I’ve thrown down - I kept tabs. 7 out of 10 times in a full game - seems a little high. As I said the games okay to play if you want to learn or refresh, but I’d advise against paying as you’ll soon become frustrated with the AI and its predicable faults. ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-08-08, version 1.3.0* I understand ads but u have now added one after each hand that is played. I understand at the end of game but this is too much ### 5/5 — Enjoyable to play, but…. *2026-07-21, version 1.3.0* Sometimes frustrating. The game seems to often know what’s in your hand and even though your hand has a multitude of pairs it will often only throw away a card not in your hand or have only one. There other odd ways it plays, but still it’s possible to win. ### 5/5 — Canasta I am a good canasta player, but it is so very hard to meld 120 with only 11 cards. Playing a *2026-07-17, version 1.3.0* I have been playing since I was 8 and I’m now 78. We used to play with 13 cards, in this game we only get dealt 11 cards and it is extremely frustrating trying to meld 120 with that amount of cards. We ( my partner and I ) have been unable to make any the 120 meld, 3 times in one game more than once. That has never happened to me in all the years I’ve been playing until now. Can you please deal us 12 cards instead of 11? I’m so upset I’m considering going back to playing spades. ### 4/5 — Enjoy the game hate all the ads that do not go away easily *2026-07-15, version 1.3.0* The game is great but the ads are frustrating. They will not shut down easily. I often have to leave the game to shut them down ### 5/5 — Canasta *2026-07-15, version 1.3.0* It is so fun and time consuming! ### 5/5 — Mawmaw *2026-06-23, version 1.3.0* Very fun and addictive game ### 5/5 — Great game if purchased. *2026-06-07, version 1.3.0* Great game if purchased. Well worth the upfront cost without ads or micro pitches. One minor request from the developers: please have the last winning hand visible before the summary window pops up and blocks the view of the table. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Ads *2026-06-04, version 1.3.0* I don’t mind ads. The ones that take three to four minutes drive me nuts. I have to close the app and reopen to clear them. There is more then one. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-05-22, version 1.3.0* Goes fast and is fun ### 2/5 — No random play. *2026-05-18, version 1.3.0* My “partner” rarely leads or gets needed cards, while the opponent who proceeds me ALWAYS discards the card I threw last turn. ### 5/5 — Help *2026-05-11, version 1.3.0* I absolutely love this game, I play it every single day, practically all day, but since the update it doesn’t run smoothly anymore, it keeps jumping and it’s very frustrating and annoying, please fix this issue, this is the only game I play, I love it, don’t let me down, I don’t want to have to search for another game, I love this one!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The deals are not random *2026-09-10, version 1.3.1* The program does not randomize the deck on the deal. Thus your strategy is irrelevant. Your team can only win when the program lets you. It’s like playing against 3 opponents! ### 1/5 — Fixed *2026-08-18, version 1.3.0* Nothing more to say other than the game is fixed. Don’t waste your time or money. ### 1/5 — The deal *2026-08-14, version 1.3.0* I don’t get any wildcards most of the time. Mostly never get to pick up deck. The deal is almost always bad. ### 1/5 — Rating *2026-07-27, version 1.3.0* Why would give authoritzation over me when I didn’t vote for Trump ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-06-11, version 1.3.0* Way too many ads! ### 1/5 — Ads Ads Ads Ads *2026-06-09, version 1.3.0* The ads are unbearable!!! ### 1/5 — Ads are bad *2026-04-24, version 1.3.0* Longer than the hands ### 1/5 — Ads suck *2026-04-06, version 1.2.5* I loved this game until the trial period ended and I was blasted by ads. And the premium price per year to remove the ads is stupid. Sorry, not for me. This one goes in the waste bin. ### 1/5 — Was a good game *2026-02-18, version 1.2.5* I was enjoying the game even though there were commercials after every hand. They need income too. Now you can’t even play the game . While you are playing they constantly pop up. So,I quit. Who needs it as there are other canasta games not as annoying. Don’t down load this game unplayable. Well they fixed the above but now the commercials come after every so fast that you cat see the results of your hand. I used to play a lot now once in a blue moon. I guess they think they are smart as people play less or not at all. ### 1/5 — 100% not random *2026-01-31, version 1.2.5* I have played hours on hours of Canasta and I have never seen such BS pulls from the deck. I have never made a review before but felt I needed to make a review about this and how one sided this can be. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Quick game *2026-09-06, version 1.3.1* I love playing this game.

It’s really annoying. ### 5/5 — Classic Canasta *2026-07-25, version 1.3.0* Easy to read display and challenging games. ### 5/5 — Publicités *2026-07-23, version 1.3.0* Trop de publicités. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
