| 2024-10-27 |  | | What the hell is wrong with AI programming? So aggressive I can't even enjoy the game. Slammes me just into the first few hands, every, every single time. Like dodgeball. This is only during daytime, not nights. Not enjoyable. Fix or I will need to uninstall and try another version. |
| 2024-07-04 |  | | I like the game, but any level above easy is rigged in favor of the computer. The computer gets most of the wild cards, higher points cards, and, the majority of the time, gets to pick up the discard pile. The cards aren't dealt fairly on any level above easy. Also, on medium level, the computer had more wild cards than regular cards, which is not allowed! |
| 2023-09-21 |  | | Excellent game, however the computer is rigged for getting SO MANY red threes every single game. That's a bit ridiculous. the only other flaw is how often the exact cards I keep drawing are the exact ones the computer has made into melds. Aside from those annoying aspects, it's really the best canasta game I've seen. New comment: The game has the LONGEST commercials possible, soooo long until you can play again. |
| 2023-06-15 |  | | The theme and polish of this app are very good. However, some of the game rules are unusual and frustrating. Specifically, this app does not allow the top card of the discard pile to be played on an existing meld already on the table. Most types of canasta (including both the original version from Uruguay and the rules suggested on the Bicycle cards website) do indeed allow this. Unfortunately, this app allows no rule change options. Very frustrating. |
| 2023-05-26 |  | | This game started out fun. It was a great game. At a certain level whenever the computer takes up the discard pile a magical 3 of hearts appear. On the first deal of a new game they have a a canasta. First draw, a full canasta! Imagine that! I counted at one point and they had 6 wild cards in play after one draw. I am lucky to get one wild card in 3 games. A challenging game is good, but at some put it gets frustrating. Enough for me to uninstall the game. |
| 2023-02-15 |  | | So easy to learn this game I watched my parents play when I was younger. It's fun, fast & easy to pick up! Graphics & game speed are awesome & very minimal ads...the ones you get once in awhile are only 5 seconds long but they aren't frequent. I really enjoy all of the NorthSky card games. Instructions, rules & game play are all simplified. |
| 2022-09-07 |  | | Don't understand how hands abruptly end when there are still cards in deck and each players hand and the player that went out doesn't have a canasta????? That screen disappears so fast you don't know what happened! Also, while laying down cards, at least 4 times the 'Game over' appears before I can play my discard & I get charged with the points. Please fix. Thx. |
| 2022-03-26 |  | | Update: Due to the new volume of ads the game is no longer enjoyable. It's a nuisance and had to unistall. I'm NOT going to be FORCED to sit through 5 minutes of ads for any game. Great game, great graphics, appropriate ads. For those who don't know how to play please add instructions on how/why the user can just discard a card until initial card goal is met. 4 stars because I had to forfeit 6 times until I could figure it out. Will change once instructions are updated. |
| 2021-12-21 |  | | I have played & uninstalled this game on numerous occasions & all for the same reason. The game cheats, the computer is allowed to break the rules but u can not. Also the computer gets every card it needs every time, & all the high point cards. When you do the xp and watch the ad for the double points, u don't always get the points & most of the ads take over ur phone. Sometimes the ads continue to play even if ur done with the game. The worst part is all the ads, can't do anything w/o the ads. |
| 2021-08-23 |  | | This game would be so much fun to play except: Everytime you finish a game you have the option to press XP and get more points. After you press XP and watch an ad, it never goes back to the game. It totally goes blank and you have to completely CLOSE THE GAME AND OPEN IT AGAIN AND AGAIN!!! Even if you skip the XP and try to start another game, it forces you to watch an ad, which does the same thing. Open and close to restart the game. This is NOT FUN and it runs the game completely! HELP!! |
