### 2/5 — Game doesn’t load

*2026-03-29, version 2.3.1*

Ever since I ran the newest update the game doesn’t even load.  Can no longer play.

### 2/5 — Nicht wie angegeben

*2025-12-31*

Keine deutsche Sprache, keine Einstellungen möglich. Werbung ist nervig, nach jeder Runde

**Developer response:** Hi! Can you tell us exactly what you dislike? Your opinion is very important and help us to improve the game experience. We appreciate your understanding and collaboration!

### 2/5 — Ads Now?

*2024-12-30, version 2.2.8*

I have LOVED this game for a few years now. But, ads between each hand? I could tolerate ads between each game, but between each hand is ridiculous! 
I will be looking for another version.

### 3/5 — Love the game but too many ads

*2024-11-26, version 2.2.8*

Great game play and graphics - true to the card game. As much I like it there are far too many ads - almost equal to time to lay the game. Would play more often and longer if ads were limited or an ad free option available. Right now I often stop playing because the ads frustrate me

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2024-10-14, version 2.2.8*

Great game but too many ads.

### 4/5 — Bots could be more challenging

*2024-09-15, version 2.2.8*

The biggest issue for me is that when one side goes out there is no hand review. I like to see the hands that are left and peruse all the cards on the table. I know there’s a point review but it’s not the same. Even set at hard level, the opposing bots are not always a good challenge. I like this game better than others though and think I’ll stick around.

### 2/5 — Good game …..however

*2024-09-14, version 2.2.8*

It’s a good game completely ruined by how long the adverts are allowed to run.  I understand that adverts pay, but the length of them is just too long bearing in mind you have them between every deal!

### 4/5 — Invasive ads

*2024-08-07, version 2.2.8*

How does the NutraFarm ad interrupt the game while I’m offline ? The ad goes on forever with someone making cheesburgers and can’t be cleared without rebooting .

### 3/5 — Fun

*2024-07-14, version 2.2.8*

Fun

### 3/5 — Like the game but has issues

*2024-07-08, version 2.2.8*

Just had a hand close and didn’t get points for my mixed canasta (took a screenshot). Also see computer ‘players’ wasting wild cards. Computer players make bad plays and pick up pile then not laying down runs I know were in there. How can you go out, get 100 points for going out but not a single point for canastas?

### 3/5 — Partner Moves

*2024-05-26, version 2.2.8*

Partner consistently holds too many cards leaving me with few moves. If Partner has 8 or 9 cards in hand, I can’t believe Partner can’t meld some of these cards. Also, Partner fails to pick up large pack when he obviously has 2 of same card in hand and we have few available moves.

i agree with partner holding too many cards.  what is even more unsatisfactory is when partner can pick up deck because of cards melded and doesn’t.  Both me and partner had little to work with and partner could have picked up large pile and didn’t.

### 4/5 — Congratulations!

*2024-05-22, version 2.2.8*

I’ve played this game site for many years through the hot messes…. And still enjoyed it….i returned recently and see you found the key, or people to make the opponents finally make some good moves and actually win some games, not just a hand here or there. So much more intriguing to play..

### 1/5 — Ads RUIN fun.

*2024-04-17, version 2.2.7*

You used to be able to play this game and it was fun. I still like the game but the game ads now are super long and you can’t close them. It’s ruined the game. If I wanted another game I’d look for one. I’d be happy to pay for canasta to get rid of the ads for theses ridiculous games that interrupt my Canasta

Update: can hardly stand to play because of ads. I’d gladly PAY to get rid of ads. So long! It ruins gameplay. About to give up. I rarely play anymore because of ads. It makes sad because the game is fun.

### 1/5 — Mega ads

*2024-04-15, version 2.2.7*

Can’t even play a game.  Ads loop and can’t get out without shutting iPad off.  Pain in the but

### 1/5 — Can't "get out" of Game Centre Ad.

*2024-03-22, version 2.2.7*

What a pain! Can't get back to game once the Game Centre Ad comes on.
Have to delete the App, then reinstall. Done it twice now, won't do it a 3rd time. 😡🤬

### 2/5 — Makes no sense!

*2024-03-12, version 2.2.7*

The goal is to make as many canastas as possible. It don’t make sense to need one wild card to make another canasta , then use for example,using  2 queens and using 2 wild cards with them instead of using one them to make the canasta and you still can lay the queens down with the other one. You do this a lot!

### 1/5 — Fake free game

*2026-07-16, version 2.3.1*

I downloaded this because no in app purchases.  But when I opened it it said this is old, down load the new one, that has in app purchases.  Can’t play the old one.  I deleted it.

### 1/5 — Where did the ads come from?

*2026-01-27, version 2.3.1*

This used to be one of my favorite games, but a few weeks ago ads began popping up after every hand! Not fun. And there is no way to get rid of them. If you don't want constant ads, don't get this game.

UPDATE: Iwould give zero stars if possible. I wrote to the developer about the ads and this was the response:
"Our mission is to provide the best possible app, and user feedback is very important to us. Currently, we don't have an ad removal button available for Canasta Jogatina."

### 1/5 — Game doesn’t follow Hoyle rules

*2025-12-20, version 2.3.1*

I wish the game would follow standard rules. A player should not be able to pick up the pile to add to a completed canasta. It counts canasta points toward eligible melds.  For example, if you need 120 points, you should not be able to meld with six sevens and a deuce, which only amounts to 50 points, not 350.  The score card glitch only show progress of player and not opponent.  Occasionally,red threes are dealt and remain held rather than melded.  Finally, the worst glitch is not scoring bonus points for a completed canasta!  Please fix!

### 1/5 — Cannot open

*2025-03-12, version 2.2.8*

Has tutorial, but then when trying to open the app asks to get new version. When you tap that it loads a solitaire app to your phone in addition to the canasta app. It is impossible to open the canasta app. Ridiculous!

### 1/5 — Canasta

*2025-03-09, version 2.2.8*

This is a good game. Just way too many ads that take way too long. 3-4 places to click x to get back to the game between every advertisement. Takes longer to get through an ad than it does to play most hands.

### 1/5 — Canasta

*2024-12-27, version 2.2.8*

Screen black!!!!

### 1/5 — Buzzing

*2024-11-17, version 2.2.8*

How do I stop it from buzzing each time it’s my turn

### 1/5 — Playing

*2024-11-13, version 2.2.8*

It would be nice to play the game. 1. Always go first. 2. Partner always has a ton of points even when a canasta could have been played. Holds most of the cards without playing, and Hardly ever picks up discarded cards when there is a possibility. 3. The opponents are most often the ones able to pick up discarded cards. 4. Hardly ever allowed to play. Who wants to watch the computer play!

### 1/5 — Canasta turbo

*2024-04-30, version 2.2.7*

Ads are terrible. Can’t get out of them. One day and still can’t get out. Think I will try another version.

### 5/5 — Canasta!

*2023-09-21, version 2.2.6*

I love this game because it is a classic, which challenges the mind and captures the heart!

### 5/5 — Spiel-Design sehr gut. „Nius“-Werbung sofort löschen!

*2023-09-07*

Sehr gutes Design mit italienischem Geschmack. Leider ploppt neuerdings eine unsägliche Werbung auf:Nius. Alles aufgebauschte angstmachende Videos im Stil rechtsradikales Fakes. BITTE SOFORT ABSCHAFFEN!
