### 5/5 — I like this very customizable game

*2026-08-31, version 1.19*

I absolutely love this customizable game of Canasta. Because you can customize it, you can play mini versions of Canasta. The online experience is really good. I think I would recommend this game.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-08-23, version 1.19*

Fun Game

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-22, version 1.19*

Very good game with good players

### 5/5 — Just plain fun

*2026-08-18, version 1.19*

Of all the games I’ve played and I’ve played 10 million of them. This one is the most fun I’ve ever had.

### 1/5 — Post game adverts killed the app

*2026-08-15, version 1.19*

Enjoyed playing the game until the added post game video adverts for you have no option to quit. Have deleted the app

### 3/5 — Inconsistent scoring

*2026-08-13, version 1.19*

Would give 5 stars if the scoring metric was explained, seems no rhyme or reason why some wins you’ll get 0.47 and some you’ll get 1.16. Yet every loss is a solid -1

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-08-13, version 1.19*

Enjoy it !

### 4/5 — Observations

*2026-08-09, version 1.19*

I downloaded this to re-familiarize myself with the game (4 player). It has accomplished that for me while being mostly fun to play. Recently I started doing post hand forensics on the computer partners hand and discovered that many times the computer partner hand is holding cards that would fill red canastas but were not played (most recently I had melded 5 of a particular card, the computer partner’s turn came and went without playing 2of the other 3 cards in its hand for a red canasta). This unfortunately is disappointing as it confirms frustrating illogical play on the computer partner’s hand.

### 5/5 — Fun and definitely enjoy

*2026-08-08, version 1.19*

This game reminds me a lot of my family growing up. We all stayed up late and bonded over this game. Can sit and play this game all day. 100% recommend

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-30, version 1.19*

When playing with friends this game is amazing. Works very well.
