Things to know if you want to enjoy the game!

The ads keep getting longer and longer but it isn’t a big deal if you just close the game and then reopen it. The game does not keep a long term count of wins & losses. No problem unless you have no internet (think airplane and you won’t be able to open the game at all)…but I just pull out my book and read for 5 minutes, then go back to the game.

Great game but things to be aware of that the programmers do to make the game harder:

* Your bot partner will typically not hold on to 7’s but will have 2 Aces. And, it is programmed to ALWAYS drop a 7 after it melds. If you pick up the pack near the end, do not plan on your partner to have ANY 7’s. BUT, Bot 1 & 3 have been programmed to keep two 7’s!

*You and your bot partner will be dealt opposite cards so pay attention to what your partner drops.

* Your partner (BOT 2) is programmed to regularly holds 4, 5 and/or 6’s when you need 155 or 180 to meld, so it will quite often not have enough points to do a meld…you will have to.

*Typically, you will draw a 7 or an Ace on the last draw or two. Big problem if you pick up the pile near the end and try to dump all of your 7’s & Aces, so be aware!

All that said, I love this game and play it A LOT. Since I stopped watching the ads, the game has been much more enjoyable! STOP WATCHING THEIR ADS🤩

Too many interruptions with ads

Canasta junction

This was not a free app. I PAID for it, and you are unilaterally downgrading what I paid for. You are now charging for what was free when I bought the app. I find this abhorrent.

Bugs and times out error

There are times when the game errors out and no matter what I do the game crashes. Tech support was not helpful and there is no way to speak with someone by phone. I’ll not renew subscription….too many bugs in this one.
