The instruction on how to use it are difficult to follow. It is not easy to adapt to different scoring variations. It was a waste of my money. I wish it had a trial period. ### 1/5 — Broken *2018-03-09, version 2.2* Bonus card scoring is broken ### 5/5 — Great app for Canasta *2017-01-14, version 2.1* No fixes ### 4/5 — Great, but .... *2016-05-30, version 2.1* It's a great app, but once a few hands are played you can't see the total score. ### 4/5 — Love *2016-01-22, version 2.1* Love the score card although I don't like how you can't see the score totals as you play the game so you're guessing who's ahead. ### 2/5 — Latest versions has broken it *2015-11-26, version 2.1* The latest update has broken this software, it now crashes on startup. ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-08-12, version 1.1* Very useful! Small learning curve which is good. The only thing i would like to see is a dealer tracker to keep track whom dealt the hand ### 5/5 — Good job *2014-07-22, version 1.1* Best score card for Canasta available. ### 5/5 — Omg *2013-08-22, version 1.0* What an excellent tool.

Note the minimum iOS supported is now 15.6. ### 2.3 — 2021-07-04 The Canasta Score Card app has been updated to the latest iOS SDK using layout constraints. Note that localization is no longer enabled for languages other than English. Unfortunately, I keep this app in the store as a hobby and it is just not worth the effort to keep multiple languages. So, I decided to remove the French localization. For this release, the following bugs were fixed: - Fixed history display on startup - Fixed incorrectly displayed points subtotals - Fixed minimum meld values when partners are enabled Also for this release, the following features have been added: - Hand meld entries are enabled for all players including when partners are enabled - Popup windows now have larger font sizes which is the same as the scores totals font size - Open hands, i.e., nobody goes out, are now enabled by selecting the next hand without selecting Went Out - URL editing in the Rules tab is no longer enabled to help keep the scope on the Canasta rules I want to thank Bruce C. for his enhancement ideas and guidance. Everyone is welcome to send me ideas and feedback through emails for any enhancements or bugs. ### 2.2 — 2017-01-31 This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. - Fixed score window scroll issue. - Changed URL for rules from http to https due to app transport security block. ### 2.1 — 2015-11-13 Updated to work with IOS 9 and a bug fix causing the scores to not display properly. ### 2.0 — 2015-06-16 Dealer buttons have been added to the Score tab to allow keeping track of the dealers. The buttons do not affect the score. A History tab has been added. The score window on the Score tab now only shows the current game score. The History tab shows all previous scores. From the History tab, the scores can be printed, deleted, or copied to the clipboard to paste to another app for sharing. Due to the inability to test the score card using iOS prior to version 7.0, the score card now only supports IOS 7.0 and later. ## Apps similar to Canasta Score Card | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Easy Score Keeper for Games](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/easy-score-keeper-for-games/id570999111) | 3.7 (3) | $1.99 | Entertainment | | [Uno Score Keeper](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/uno-score-keeper/id1614579095) | 4.8 (43) | Free | Entertainment | | [Rivers Casino Des Plaines](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rivers-casino-des-plaines/id1343994105) | 2.6 (31) | Free | Entertainment | | [AV Remote - Simple Controls](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/av-remote-simple-controls/id1571596635) | 3.4 (22) | Free | Entertainment | | [America's River Roots](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/americas-river-roots/id6752018906) | 3.9 (11) | Free | Entertainment | | [Pidi Radio, Your LGBT Radio](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pidi-radio-your-lgbt-radio/id1255420932) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Entertainment | ## More apps by Terry Hoffman - [Hand and Foot Score Card](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hand-and-foot-score-card/id568743552) All apps by Terry Hoffman: https://appshunter.io/developer/568743555 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
