The Simple Way to Score Your Canasta Games! I was tired of Canasta score-keeping apps being too rigid in the way they kept score. Every one has different house rules and no apps seemed to align with the way my family and I played. So I built this app! This is an easy to use, limited setup needed, scoring app that all Canasta players can enjoy. With Assistive Scoring, no need to remember the different point values for the categories, simply set them once and forget them. If you're a math wiz and only want the app to tally up the sections after you enter in the point values, Manual Mode is perfect for you so you can play even when you might not have a pad and paper! Set custom team names, record special hands, adjust the winning score target, and tweak point values to match your house rules. Even save your games and come back to them later.
