### 5/5 — Canasta

*2026-07-13, version 2.4*

Bit confusing bit getting to understand

### 3/5 — Computer cheats!

*2026-06-13*

Missing points, it will often not give you your full points for red 3s. Missing points for canastas. I have a screenshot where the opposing team put down a 2, joker and 2 black 3s and you can clearly see that it’s now my turn to play.

### 2/5 — Idiots

*2026-06-03*

I with others. Learn how to play the game. When you need only 1more wild card to get a canasta, don’t play your wild card to freeze the pile to go out. Make a canasta and get more points. You don’t have to have a discard to go out if your last card plays. And quit picking up a card if you have already got a canasta in that suit. Draw and try to get something else that might be better than 5 stupid points. Learn to play.

### 1/5 — Game doesn’t work

*2026-03-26*

Been playing this game now for quite a while.  You made changes and now it won’t load.  Fix it please.

### 3/5 — Langweilig

*2026-01-18*

Es hat schon einige Mankos!
Zum einen gibts keine Rangliste oder Wettbewerb, die klassischen Canastaregeln sind nicht umgesetzt  ( Anzahl Karten, Stapel nehmen usw.) und man sieht nicht wieviele Karten der Gegner noch in der Hand hat.

### 5/5 — Game

*2026-01-04*

Love it

### 1/5 — Bad tutorial

*2025-12-13*

I have never played Canasta before and was really looking forward to learning but the tutorial on here is very bad. Did not explain anything at all. I played one game and had NO idea what I was doing.

### 3/5 — Idiots Playing

*2025-11-19*

I have never seen so many stupid people that have no clue what they are doing causing me to lose every game.  The game is called canasta not 3 of a kind.  Stop using your freaking wild cards to make 3 of a kinds when you need 1 card for canasta and score more points.  Morons.  If you are an idiot don’t play the higher levels.  There is nothing wrong with the game itself, but it’s a 3 because of stupid players.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2025-11-15*

Paying to remove ads, doesn’t remove them. Screen is corrupted when showing scores at end of game.

### 3/5 — Nice but ads get tedious

*2025-11-09*

Actual gameplay was pretty good but the ads easily overshadowed any enjoyment the game might have provided.
