### 5/5 — Great customisation

*2026-08-22, version 3.11.1*

Worth getting subscription to ditch ads. Great customisation (would be good to make 2x canasta mandatory for 2 player and can’t pick up pack for closed canastas without pair in hand). Love being able to make buddies and play online with friends

### 2/5 — Keeps kicking me out

*2026-08-19, version 3.11.1*

Things were okay and just recently, in the middle of a game, it says Game Over with the opponent winning and no points on the scoreboard. 
 I’m done wasting my time.

### 4/5 — Newbie

*2026-07-28, version 3.11.0*

New to this platform and I enjoy playing. Would like to see some added features such as tournaments, opponents stats, and a message box allowing me communicate to my opponent.

### 5/5 — Excellent Game

*2026-07-24, version 3.11.0*

Fun, free game that’s been a favorite of mine for many years. Love the ability to play offline with no ads.

### 1/5 — Several ads that do not let you close

*2026-07-11, version 3.10.5*

There are several ads that you can not close, as example one about dog bone/ joint health, one about little mania wrestling that you have to leave the game open another window close that window and go back to the game before that ad will close

### 1/5 — Rezalet uygulama

*2026-07-11, version 3.10.5*

Kötü versiyon

### 5/5 — Crash crash!

*2026-07-07, version 3.10.5*

This game crashes more than Nick Nolte

### 1/5 — Drops out for no reason

*2026-07-04, version 3.10.5*

Constantly losing games cos of glitchy system. When it works it’s great, but it’s starting to feel a bit like a 90s app.

### 1/5 — Constantly freezing

*2026-06-24, version 3.10.5*

Haven’t been able to finish a game as offline mode freezes very often

### 5/5 — Game play

*2026-06-17, version 3.10.5*

Sometimes it feels like the dice are strategically stacked against you
