Rules say you can but the game changes daily whether you can or can’t. ### 2/5 — Glitches *2026-07-23, version 9.3* I love the game as a game. Have played with people for years. However, this game has quite severe problems. Example: There has been 2 plays wine the computer has gone through both feet and goes out. Example: Computer gets 13 red treys many many times Example: First play and it shows Computer is down and it is NOT the Computer’s play. This needs a real overhaul. ### 4/5 — A small issue *2026-06-27, version 9.2* Everything is almost perfect instructions. However, I’m not able to add cards to an existing meld until I go out. For example I have 5 cards in my hand I can’t play or meld until I go out. It’s not as enjoyable a game. As you know when playing in person you can always add cards to your 7 card melds that are out. You need to fix this feature. No one would choose to hold 5-10 cards until they go out. Unnecessary complications. ### 2/5 — Things are changing *2026-06-27, version 9.2* I got this card game several years ago and absolutely loved it. As my health got a little worse, I relied on it more to get my brain thinking and be strategic. All of a sudden, all I get is a black screen and it won’t let me reload it any differently. I tried contacting the developer twice, but no response. If you could get it to work, it’s great. ### 3/5 — Please get rid of the screen that asks you to press yes to take your turn. *2026-05-02, version 9.2* That screen gets in the way. The yes and the no are too close together so it’s too easy to press know when you mean to press yes. But why have it. The jiggling cards on the stack tell you it’s your turn. This could be a great game, but they waste time with this intermediate step that is utterly useless and unnecessary. Why should I have to click on something to take my turn? And why make the yes and the no options so close together as to make it too easy to tap one when you intend to tap the other. And my other big gripe about this game is why not make the screen full-time for both sides. Why have to go back-and-forth between screens. Other games don’t do this. I wanna watch my work and my opponents work all at one time. Why switch back-and-forth. It’s just ridiculous. ### 4/5 — Fun game, but doesn’t keep stats *2026-02-13, version 9.1* Fun game indeed. I wish the stats worked. ### 4/5 — After upload *2025-12-25, version 9.1* After my new psi update I could not play with my friends it would not upload just a blue screen. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2025-12-24, version 9.1* I used to be addicted to this game but since the last update it’s riddled with bugs. My entire hand will disappear from my screen and the only way to get them back is to completely restart the game. Really annoying. It also doesn’t accurately count point down sometimes. This last update really ruined the game. ### 4/5 — Stats are not increasiung *2025-10-16, version 9.1* I like the game, and play it a lot. However I have noticed games won and lost have stopped being incremented. That is why I gave it a 2 star. I would like to have this corrected as soon as possible and I would increase the review to a 5. Thank you ### 3/5 — Good game, graphics too small. *2025-10-11, version 9.1* I can’t find any settings where the cards can be enlarged. I don’t need to see the full size card. Let me have the option to see half the card but bigger. My old eyes are straining. ### 4/5 — Need an exit button *2025-07-30, version 9.0* Please create an exit button on the home screen, so I don’t have to keep shutting my phone off to get rid of this stupid game from my screen ### 1/5 — Extreme Hand and Foot *2025-04-29, version 9.0* The computer will not let me win. I have been playing This Ap for years. I don’t know what has changed but I am getting close to deleting. Anyone else had this problem? ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-03-04, version 9.0* So my wife and I have been playing this for years. We use Bluetooth but for some reason it hasn’t been working and disconnects the game. Hopefully there is an update for this. ### 1/5 — HELP *2025-02-02, version 9.0* Update: 18 games frozen . HELP!! In multiplayer mode games lock! I have a stack of games that can never be played. I have contacted app support and 🦗🦗🦗 ### 1/5 — Not for seniors *2025-01-24, version 9.0* I wanted to learn how to play the game, so I bought it. I couldn’t figure out how to play it and the cards were so small on my phone that I couldn’t tell what suits or numbers they were. Asked for a refund within 10 minutes. ### 1/5 — Computer Cheats *2025-01-22, version 9.0* I enjoyed this game a lot until I realized that the computer cheats ### 1/5 — Don't buy this *2025-01-21, version 9.0* Just bought this hoping to play by Hoyle rules. Not only can you not.see the cards but it did.not n let me meld with two.kings and a joker while holding two eights in my hand and trying to pick up.the deck. This was for a 50 point meld. Very disappointed ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s terrible *2026-06-20, version 9.2* You have to complete a depend on how the game deals the cards and most of the time you don’t get cards to play it’s a terrible game i’ll change my review if you change other game works ### 1/5 — Game Consistently Cheats! *2026-05-30, version 9.2* Every fix to this game creates more problems. I agree with the first reviewer that you can start out ahead but by the 3rd hand the computer takes over to get ALL the EXACT cards it needs to win! Very disappointed in this game that seems to get worse instead of better! Another major problem... When the computer lays down it won't have the correct melds. It will have 3 tens and ONE wild card!! Also, when I try to complete a book of wilds the computer won't let me. I've lost a couple of hands due to this issue! I've finally DELETED THIS WORTHLESS APP. I GOT SICK AND TIRED OF THE CHEATING. NOT WORTH MY TIME! This game still STINKS. The computer still cheats. It lays down IMMEDIATELY every starting hand while you wait several turns before you have enough of the rightcards! You can't add wild cards to your hand like you were able to before. You have Two 2s in your hand and you try to pick one up from the discard pile and it won't let you. The computer lays down a book of cards so fast you can't tell if there is the correct number of cards in the book or not. CHEATING! When you come back into the game the computer doesn't have to start out with the same number of points as you even though your scores are close. Very aggravating! With all the updates this game still messes up! Like now... The meld for the computer is 120 and for me 150 but the computer only laid down 90 points. It's done it several times in the past. The computer cheats!!! I still have o lay down the correct points but the computer doesn't! Since the update the game constantly crashes in the middle of the game. I've only been able to complete a couple of games!!!!! 😡 It cheats even worse than before!!!! It's already almost completed the first hand before you can meld!!!!!! Still consistently cheats! Can't get a card to save your life. The computer gets all the cards it needs to lay down immediately most of the time. You might get a couple of good hands then the computer takes over and starts winning all the hands!!!! Here is a new PROBLEM.... I tied to complete a CLEAN book of 8s and the computer/game kept turning it into a dirty book like I had wild card(s) in that book which I didn't. Sounds like another case of the computer cheating! I kept drawing 8s but no matter which 8 I but in the book the computer turned it into a dirty book!!!!!!! Well, nothing has changed. What amazes me is that I'm up by 4,000-7,000 points then I can't get cards to save my life. The computer ends up winning the game. Talk about major cheating. How do you justify this???? ### 1/5 — The worst. *2026-05-19, version 9.2* The cards are so small I can barely read them and the game is sooooo slow moving. Don’t waste your money. It’s very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Took away option on how to end game *2026-03-10, version 9.1* I had to update my iPad and reload game. Update does not allow me to choose option for going out. Totally frustrating. I am deleting my once favorite game ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-02-05, version 9.1* Just paid five dollars for this game downloaded it unplayable it is not hand and foot. It is not canasta. I don’t know what it is. It is not multiplayer terrible game. ### 1/5 — Another problem *2026-01-24, version 9.1* When I opened the app today, all of my old games were gone. I can’t start any games with Game Center friends that I’ve been playing with for years. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy this app *2026-01-20, version 9.1* Terrible ### 1/5 — Waste *2026-01-12, version 9.1* Difficult to navigate. Only two player options. No easy way to quit a game when the other player isn’t playing. Very disappointed for a paid game. ### 1/5 — HELP *2025-09-15, version 9.1* Update: Major problems since update Sept 2026. There are updates but never a fix. Six games frozen today with different players. 8/27/26. It makes me very sad. (One I was winning for the first time with this other player we’ve played since Xmas.) Update: 18 games frozen . HELP!! In multiplayer mode games lock! I have a stack of games that can never be played. I have contacted app support and 🦗🦗🦗 ### 1/5 — HELP *2025-06-02, version 9.0* Even worse other players can see my personal information. Have emailed the developer 3rd time? This is not acceptable Update: 18 games frozen . HELP!! In multiplayer mode games lock! I have a stack of games that can never be played. I have contacted app support and 🦗🦗🦗 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game need a fix *2026-07-07, version 9.3* Love this game. But the feature of putting your played cards in order has disappeared. What happened to that feature? ### 5/5 — Problem with the screen *2026-06-24, version 9.2* My screen for this game has gone black. I tried to reload it and that didn’t help. Is there anything else I can try? ### 5/5 — Love This Game for over a Decade! *2026-01-27, version 9.1* This game is my all-time favorite! Despite a few tiny glitches, it remains fast paced and easy to play. The computer opponent is challenging. I would love to know what the ribbon on the bottom of app means and how I join. It shows people’s high scores and not sure how that number gets attained. Can anyone help me with that or tell me where to go to find out. Thanks. ### 5/5 — App lost part of a meld and now wont let me go forward. *2024-08-23, version 9.0* I wish there was a warning if you put 2 melds of the same card up one the board. Sometimes I need to but I have to watch pretty close that it doesn’t happen accidentally ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-04-23, version 8.9* I love your game. It is very simple to play and is well thought out. One request; the ability to turn off the volume. Thanks ### 5/5 — Got To Love Beating The Snake! *2023-11-25, version 8.9* Hi, James! Wow. What is there to say? I was introduced to this game after a drunken relative decided to pull out a deck of cards as we digested our Thanksgiving dinner. Boy, oh boy, what a world I was introduced to! After successfully beating all my relatives in person (including my sister who is a complete snake!) I decided to download the app. All I need is the ability within the app to chat, so I can destroy my opponents in person as well as damaging their already weak psyche. You know James…it’s a fine line between Canasta and Hand and Foot, and I would appreciate if you could distinguish the difference. (Bolivia = bullsh*t). ### 5/5 — A Great version of a great game. *2023-09-24, version 8.9* I’ve been playing this game for about 2 ½ years now and I love it. I have played it a lot on line and solo. The on line version has problems occasionally but it works well most of the time. If I had one wish, it would be that you could play online with 3 friends. We left our home of many years to live in another part of the country and it would be very nice to be able to play with old friends. Thank you for this game. ### 5/5 — App lost part of a meld and now wont let me go forward. *2023-08-20* I have been playing this app for quite sometime now and I enjoy it. In a multiplayer game, it lost a card on one of my melds when I was not playing and wont allow me to play to move forward. If I do undo, it only backs out what I did in that turn so I cannot correct anything. If I choose continue, it wont allow me to finish playing because there are only 2 cards in the meld and I dont have something to add to it (since it was put up several plays earlier). Please fix this, as soon as possible. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Love It! *2023-08-18, version 8.7* I play a different online multiplayer game of hand and foot, but I like this for playing by myself against the AI. I tried playing one online game against one opponent but it would take days between turns. The cards are too small to see to play it on my iPhone but it works great with my iPad. ### 5/5 — Awesome Game!! *2023-05-06, version 8.4* Fun to play. No bugs.
