Nice app

This is a great app to learn canasta but they have the worst support team I have ever encountered. It took me almost three months to do a password reset so I could use the app on my iPad in addition to my phone .each response to my emails was automated— and never addressed the issue. Very frustrating!

Needs improvement

I really enjoy this game, but it is so ridiculous that I will get four fives and sixes from the deck repeatedly. Also, robot number two, my so-called partner, is a complete idiot. It’s like playing with the beginner. He doesn’t know how to discard.

Frustrated

The bot sees your hand so the game is totally rigged!

Terrible new graphics

It seems like the app went backwards in time. Seems like something I would’ve played in the 1990s. Hard to follow. Cards don’t look real. I am not enjoying this change at all.
