I do have one drawback. I pay to have the ads removed, but every time I go back to the game, the ads are always there. I have to keep going back to set up, run, the remove ads feature, hit the button to upgrade., Which sends me back to the Apple Store, who tells me I've already paid for this, and then the ads are removed once again. I can't tell you how annoying this is every time I want to play the game. I really do hope the developer of this game can do better. With this feature. ### 3/5 — Computer cheats! *2026-06-13, version 2.4* 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Idiots Playing *2025-11-19, version 2.2* 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. ### 3/5 — Nice but ads get tedious *2025-11-09, version 2.2* Actual gameplay was pretty good but the ads easily overshadowed any enjoyment the game might have provided. ### 3/5 — Game *2025-09-17, version 2.2* The thing about this game is first of all they don’t explain to you how it really goes and they don’t even give you time to look at your it neither one of my scores was so I don’t know I don’t like this game. I think I got some things I need to ### 4/5 — Good, but bugs *2025-05-16, version 2.2* Good game, but several bugs: 1) partner down to 1 card after a canasta, and discards a wild card instead of going out by playing it. 2) game wont let me pick up discard pile to open if I have to use all my hand cards to complete the open. I have fully opened, so the discard pile becomes my hand cards. 3) partner discards a card that gives opponents a canasta when partner has other cards that could be discarded instead. 4) game wont let me pick up discard pile using a wild card + one card matching top discard if the discard pile isn’t frozen. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2025-04-26, version 2.2* Game is fun but fed up with ads for other games after every hand, so annoying, will look for different supplier ### 4/5 — Ads *2025-04-09, version 2.0* Too many ads ### 3/5 — Not bad *2025-03-12, version 2.0* Smooth game, no glitches but after going out the score board disappears too quickly. Be nice to have an option of "continue" or a timer for the scoreboard ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sad we have to *2026-09-04, version 2.4* Look on YouTube on how to play and also I don’t understand why the player across from me can put melds on my board but I can’t put melds on his board and you don’t even tell us who our teammate is and everybody puts the melds on the player across from me instead of mine but yet I’m supposed to have a teammate ### 1/5 — Game doesn’t work *2026-03-26, version 2.3* Been playing this game now for quite a while. You made changes and now it won’t load. Fix it please. ### 1/5 — Bad tutorial *2025-12-13, version 2.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Avoid *2025-11-15, version 2.2* Paying to remove ads, doesn’t remove them. Screen is corrupted when showing scores at end of game. ### 1/5 — Canasta *2025-08-04, version 2.2* I paid to remove Adds but every time i log on to the game. There are endless ADDS. And i have to go through the process to remove the adds. Where i am told my purchase will be restored. Very frustrating. Are you doing this purposely or is there a bug you need to fix????? ### 1/5 — To many adds, seriously, after every hand???? *2025-07-19, version 2.2* I love this game but there are too many adds. I have another canasta app that has one add before the game starts and that’s it. I really like this app but can’t handle all the adds, there is no excuse for this besides lining your pockets so…. Goodbye. ### 1/5 — Let’s computer win *2025-06-04, version 2.2* Was a fun game till the computer starts winning every game. When you need 120 meld the opponents can open every time while my team rarely sees jokers or wild cards. Not much fun to not be able to play at all. I don’t expect to win all the time but the odds should be at least 50%. Won’t like this ### 1/5 — Canasta Lows *2025-02-24, version 2.0* Played a few times. The cards dealt were mostly low points making first meld very hard, whilst opposition played very quickly, then dominated the melds. The game needs a better balance. Time waster. 🦨🦨🦨 ### 2/5 — Idiots *2026-06-03, version 2.4* 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. ### 2/5 — Meh *2025-06-14, version 2.2* Plays “rummy in the deck” which shouldn’t be in canasta. Ruins the game. You don’t get a free pull of the discard pile, it’s a gambit, forcing you to take the deck. 👎 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-06, version 2.4* Addictive ### 5/5 — Canasta *2026-07-13, version 2.4* Bit confusing bit getting to understand ### 5/5 — Game *2026-01-04, version 2.2* Love it ### 5/5 — 2 players *2025-10-21, version 2.2* Enjoyable with partners but even better if there was a choice to play for oneself ### 5/5 — Canasta is the best game. *2025-09-02, version 2.2* I love this game. ### 5/5 — Love canasta *2025-08-08, version 2.2* Loved playing canasta years ago and this is a really good app. ### 5/5 — Canasta *2025-06-30, version 2.2* Should be able to add too partners table cards. ### 5/5 — Better *2025-04-26* You can see your stats at the end of every round. It is helpful to know how much meld you need and it counts meld as you go. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2025-03-06, version 2.0* I love playing this game it’s a fast pace game ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-02-22, version 2.0* I’m still learning but it seems to be a fun game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
