Canasta Free for Android
Its no fun playing against the computer when your computer partner holds all the cards then lays them down all t once and goes out. Or melds minimum cards and holds rest then goes out all at once. This happens more frequently with 2 player games. Fix this and it will be good.
Interesting & surprising that my partner never asks if they can go out. Enjoying the game less & less. What the heck is a "foot"? Has not crashed on me at all. Quad core HP Android tablet. Don't understand why partner & players add extra wild cards to canasta when stupidly unnecessary, but could have a lot of times made another canasta! Now that"s just plain idiotic plus causes less points!!!!!!
Great! My only peeve is that you cant select more than one group to meld at one time. Id prefer to highlight all the cards I want to throw in one swoop. Other than that, this game could only get better if real cards were involved!
It would be nice if my AI partner had to ask if he can go out. Also the rediculous "cheating". If you beat the computer the next few hands you lose every time!!!
The game itself is fun. The ads are horrible. They never stop no matter how many times you report them. The ads have had very offensive sexual content. Is this a card game or front for a sex site?
The one HUGE problem is the timing of pop-up ads. They come up right at finish of hand - BEFORE the hand is scored and cards still in hands. It doesn't allow you to study the hand results in context. It is VERY ANNOYING. A simple fix would be to display the adds before each deal or after the hand scoring is displayed and before next hand is dealt. Would improve enjoyment by at least 50%.
The only problem that keeps happening is that the Rival often gets 200 points for going out instead of the 100 points listed in the attached rules. Is there an "unlisted" reason for this? You have taken away the split screen for UNDO so there is no way to change your mind or rearrange what you have put down during one turn.
I downloaded a few other Canasta games and this was my favorite. The two or four handed feature is nice. The graphics are good. The game plays well on my older tablet. Once in awhile it does really seem as if the computer knows what my cards are ... Lol ... Yet I still win most of the time on any difficulty mode. it's not so easy it isn't fun and not so hard you can never beat the computer. Thanks for the great Canasta game!
WAY TO MANY ADS! "Partner" will give away canasta's. Will hold jokers and never asks to go out.
I have really enjoyed the game until a week ago and now for some reason I cannot turn the sound down or off when the adds appear. The sound on my tablet is off but the sound in the adds is very loud, please turn the sound off.
Great game probably would have given it 5 stars, but the commercials are very obnoxious, loud, and pushy. They move the close button so it takes you longer to shut them down.
Sometimes it seems rigged . I don't even look at red three's no more generally the opposition gets four 9 out of 10 Times and my " partner " seems to discard in a very strange fashion also my partner has a habit of not picking up a card needed but throwing out obvious cards for the opposition. Once your over 1500 expect a lot of 5 point cards and very few bonus cards . It's fairly obvious that its biased! !
In the beginning I loved the game but now that I've been playing the game I found that its not as good as it used to be. It skips my turn every time it comes around to it being my turn.
Hate when your partner plays against you. Too short to going out, needs building time for strategic play. Love this game!
I love this game but I hate that the computer holds onto cards that will play or they will discard a card the could of given us a canasta. I play to win & I want my partner to do the same not hurt the team. Please fix & I'll give you 5 stars =D
Because of the sexual inappropriate advertisements, I have Un-installed your game...i am saddened, I do really like the game, but I will not tolerate the disgusting adds. goodbye :-(
When playing with a CPU teammate, CPU plays very poorly and makes very stupid decisions, regardless of skill level. Terrible
If the author could fix 2 issues: ask before going out, and program the partner to play appropriately when the deck is locked. . . then excellent.
Whatever program on expert level is used always plays stupidly. In 4 player, gives away naturals, games end randomly, and frequently plays cards opponents obviously have. Dumb!
It cheats.... 4 player isn't played as pairs though other computer players can add to other computer melds & when I can pick up the pile it only gives u the top card & NOT the whole deck! CHEATS
The game cheats after you've beaten it so many times. All of a sudden the computer goes out 7 straight times after only a few cards drawn. Rigged.
I love playing this game, but wish there was a back button. There are times I miss picking up the deck and would like to be able to change that.
The AI is dumb...even when on expert the computer on my team always throws a card that the other team can use especially when the pile is frozen...
Play this all the time and have for years. Love that you aren't playing against anyone else, so you can play at your leisure.
It cheats so bad. Always takes the pack when they dont really have those cards they are counted for already. Its ridiculous. Uninstalling...
Computer cheats, doesn't use correct canasta rules & is just a stupid ap not worth using
Great game but it over rides the time out feature on my phone--so the phone stays on wether you're playing the game or got called away!
Only problem for me as soon as the game is finished it is gone from the screen... You do not get to see what cards the other players have lefy
I would be much happier with the app if more controls, for undo and expanding your hand, would be added. Considering it's a free app, however, I don't really mind. It runs smooth, graphics are as expected, and it's addicting. The tips are great for those beginning players, too.
In playing 2 player I can't see the other players cards they are covered up by an ad I can't get get rid of
You might as well not have a partner it plays very stupidly, it's like playing against 3 players
Plays well The AI holds back cards and then suddenly lays down 2 or 3 melds but hey I do that. It's not cheating it's constructive tactical play
I think that the AI opponents must be pretty dumb. I keep winning. ..much more than half the time.
Grew up playing this game with my uncles. Surprised to find the app. Works well!
The only thing i dont understand is haveing one canasta to go out
Wish I could see my all held cards on the end of the round. Graphics are good.
I give it 4 stars because I can't tell what I am supposed to be melding and it freezes up sometimes. I enjoy playing canasta. The game doesn't freeze up as much as it used to. I always live playing Canasta.
Best Android game I've ever had. Realistic and just plain fun.
I used to play this with my grandmother when I was 8. Brings back memories! Love it!!

It cheats quite often, but I still beat it most of the time. Gets all four red threes five times more often than me. Also takes the Top card of the pile with a made canasta, but won't let me do the same. My partner never plays his aces til he's going out, leaving me holding mine if I can't play them
