For instance my p and I should have won by over 2k points but we lost by 1000+ I’ve noticed this often and this time I have had it! They want you to purchase not play for free. There’s another canasta and it’s more honest ! This is corrupt what a shame ### 4/5 — Divertissant *2026-08-12, version 2026.2.0* À part le fait que plusieurs joueurs abandonnent quand ils voient qu’ils perdent et qu’ils n’ont pas une grosse pénalité, le jeu en vaut la peine. Ceux qui lâchent volontairement devraient être pénalisés 24 heures au lieu de 5 minutes…. On perd tout le temps à ce jeu, il doit y avoir une façon de tricher que je ne connais pas ### 4/5 — Fun game *2026-08-12, version 2026.2.0* There are a few things I don’t understand, like how does the bonus work? Also, when you win a game you only get half of your bedt Yes and when you lose a game you lose all of your bet why is that? ### 2/5 — Great game but recently some problems *2026-06-14, version 2026.1.0* I’ve been playing this for years but recently played a four player round where we closed two wild canastas in two rounds one a natural with 7 twos, but each time we where only given 500 points and the score boards kept saying wild canasta missed obviously there is an issue with the app that needs to be fixed. ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2026-06-04, version 2026.1.0* Enjoyable to play ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-06-01, version 2026.1.0* This fantastic game. game is one of the best. Love love this game. ### 5/5 — Reach Canasta *2026-05-31, version 2026.1.0* I really like this game. It’s relaxing and moves quite fast.and helps me think ### 5/5 — New player *2026-05-27, version 2026.1.0* Great fun! ### 5/5 — Canasta Palace is a great game! *2026-05-26, version 2026.1.0* Canasta Palace is a fun game that is modeled off the original card game. I love this game and play it daily and it helps me clear my mind and think strategically which is ideal for mentally preparing for work. In the app you have this game it has lots of good other games like Sequences which is my favorite game. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-05-25, version 2026.1.0* I really enjoy playing Canasta Palace. Great players. ### 5/5 — Samba heaven *2026-05-18, version 2026.1.0* I love this app. The best. I was on Eden. Do not miss it. It’s great. You’ll love it. I play every day. Have friends I have played with for years. Great job.me2 Still playing every day. ♥️ ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-05-13, version 2026.1.0* Great game very challenging. You get to play with people from all over the world ### 4/5 — Divertissant *2026-05-10* À part le fait que plusieurs joueurs abandonnent quand ils voient qu’ils perdent et qu’ils n’ont pas une grosse pénalité, le jeu en vaut la peine. Ceux qui lâchent volontairement devraient être pénalisés 24 heures au lieu de 5 minutes…. On perd tout le temps à ce jeu, il doit y avoir une façon de tricher que je ne connais pas **Developer response:** Hello Banane13, thank you for your rating. If players do not return to the player after 2 minutes, there will be a sanction. It's not worth leaving the game early. Feel free to choose tables in the lobby that require a minimum level of loyalty to your fellow players.If you have any further questions, please send us an email to support@canasta-palast.de. ### 5/5 — The best visual interface! *2026-05-09, version 2026.1.0* I have tried more than a few Canasta games online. This is THE one to play. I have never felt the game is slanted to any player. I like the fact that the game prevents harassing comments and if you really don’t wish to play against or with a player there is a way to block that from happening. Great game ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-03, version 2026.1.0* This is the best card playing website I've ever been on! ### 4/5 — Write review. *2026-04-22, version 2026.1.0* I enjoy this app. I just wish it would have some more chats on it like. we have to canasta first,Thanks for playing,our likeI have a bad hand ### 4/5 — Canasta *2026-04-21, version 2026.1.0* I like playing against others. Wish there was more information about when you have enough experience points to play any tables other than “play”. Wish there was more info on clubs. I joined one but see no benefits. It wants chips but no other info. How do I become a member of a locked group? ### 4/5 — Ad Heavy *2026-04-17, version 2026.1.0* Awesome game, constant and intrusive ads have only multiplied over time while in game purchase “deals” have only gotten worse. ### 5/5 — Best canasta app *2026-04-13, version 2026.1.0* A+ ### 5/5 — 5 stars out of 5 *2026-04-10, version 2025.5.1* Best card game on the internet, ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — May the algorithms be with you. 2 stars? Only 3 star tables, lol! 3 stars? 2 and 4 star tables. *2026-03-23, version 2025.5.1* Unless u spend $ you are on an algorithm to lose ### 1/5 — No bad reviews! Amazing lol *2026-01-24, version 2025.5.1* Unless u spend $ you are on an algorithm to lose ### 1/5 — Banned *2025-10-26, version 2025.4.5* I was banned for cheating and I have no idea why. I’m not in a club, I play with random people, don’t chat, and I lose more than I would like. ### 1/5 — Mein Gott ist das alles traurig…… *2025-08-10* Was habt ihr nur mit dem schönen Spiel gemacht?……. Programmiert doch alles wieder zurück auf Anfang (mind. aber 5 Jahre zurück.) traurig traurig….. kaum noch Spieler auf der Plattform. Werbung ohne Ende… 2x die gleiche Werbung hintereinander bis man mal da ist wo man hin möchte, wobei man da noch nicht im Spiel ist. Haha Früher war das Spiel ohne Werbung und wir hatten alle Spaß. Habe früher gerne 25 Euro für 6 Monate ausgegeben, das Spiel hat sich aber sooooo negativ verändert und das gute Klientel ist mittlerweile auch nicht mehr vorhanden, somit ist jeder Cent rausgeschmissenes Geld. Man kann mit Werbung und unlogischen Änderungen alles kaputt machen. Da kommt mein Lieblingsspruch über die heutige Jugend: „wissen alles besser, können aber nix“ So rutscht man von 5 Sterne auf 0, wenn ich wüsste wie der letzte Stern wegginge lach mich schlapp, selbst daran wurde gedreht So, 5x die Rezension abgeschickt, hab nur keine Ahnung wohin, taucht nicht auf….. **Developer response:** Hallo Mause1, vielen Dank für deine Bewertung. Unser Spiel ist nach wie vor gratis. Man kann für Echtgeld oder auch für Chips werbefreie Premiumzeit oder werbefreie Tage erwerben. Wie bei jedem Onlinespiel, mit echten Spielern, gibt es auch bei uns sogenannte Stoßzeiten. In jedem Fall sollten immer genügend Mitspieler für ein Spiel vorhanden sein. Da bei uns nur echte Spieler spielen, schwankt natürlich die Spielerfahrung und variiert die Spielweise. Canasta ist zeitlos und auch unsere, wie du sagst, "Klientel", ist bunt gemischt. Jeder ist bei uns willkommen. Da wird sich auch für dich der passende Spielpartner finden. Natürlich verändern sich einige Dinge im Laufe der Zeit, es werden dadurch jedoch auch viele Dinge optimiert. Bei Fragen sende uns bitte eine E-Mail an support@canasta-palast.de. ### 1/5 — Why? *2025-07-21, version 2025.4.1* Mid game it will kick you from the table and you will lose you chips and points. They need to do better. Finally heard back from customer supports and they are not willing to make it right, please enjoy the game for free just don’t waste your money on it or five years of your life just to them you’re just a checkbook and nothing else. ### 1/5 — Worst App ever! *2025-06-20, version 2025.3.1* The unique option of this game was supposed to be the sequence, unfortunately the way the algorithm works most of the time, it gives all the key cards such as 8s, 9s, 10s to the hands of one player. So if you are not in the team chosen by the algorithm, Goodbye sequences! Another trap in this game, the higher you are in the rank the less chances to receive key cards in the game, so you can end up loosing over 1000 coins in few days, great way to force players into buying more coins. This App just doesn’t deliver whatever it offers and that is really disappointing, so will be deleting it, just like many high rank players who were in the game and now they are gone. ### 1/5 — App shop not working *2024-12-28, version 2024.7.1* Shop isn’t working! Have to go to internet to buy chips.😳😭 ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2024-12-05, version 2024.7.0* Ran out of time on one move and the game completely reset and did not let me join back in for no reason at all. The interface for this is not great it doesn’t acknowledge the difference in someone willingly quitting a game and technical difficulties. ### 1/5 — Premium players make this game hell. *2024-09-30, version 2024.4.2* Good game. However premium players will have you banned for 9 days on all games if you beat them. No response from game developers about this problem. Sucks to be banned for winning. Premium players also rewarded with MUCH better cards. ### 1/5 — Best Canasta app *2023-08-11, version 2023.10.0* Only negatives are High price for subscription Cant create a table without subscription Rating system often doesn’t seem to reward for games won, it gives higher reward for rounds won. No ability to add rules for sequence play like 7-J or 8-10 strictly for sequences, play to end etc. good app overall. Ranking algorithm is from Microsoft FPS games and is terrible as adapted for a card game. Unreasonably penalizes higher rank players. Makes it impossible to retain high rank once you attain one. Very disappointing. If there was a better app it would drive many regular players away. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Samba heaven *2026-08-18, version 2026.2.0* I love this app. The best.

Sometimes the deal seems programmed rather than random. I don’t know how stars are earned when it comes to choosing tables or what the percents mean. I don’t know how to get out of a game in Quick Match when the bid is uncomfortably high for me. Otherwise it’s a good game. Schnidely ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-13, version 2026.2.0* Lots of fun ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-17, version 2026.1.0* Awesome ### 5/5 — Great. *2026-06-15, version 2026.1.0* I LOVE this game! ### 5/5 — Canasta *2026-06-05, version 2026.1.0* Love this game. Please if the people just leave after they are losing, they should forfeit some points.love this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
