Canasta Gold 4+

I love canasta, I play a lot! This app is ok…it needs some tweaking tho. Some of the problems that is so annoying are...the opponent picks up the deck and doesn’t discard, what a glitch! Also, my partner is intent on dirtying up a canasta. We will have five or even six cards down and before I can add my two to make it a natural he adds wild cards, frustrating! Oh, and lastly, he is constantly giving the deck away when I know he could have discarded a safe card, because he pick up the deck earlier and had safe cards in his hand. Also, I may freeze the deck because I need it frozen so I’ll have safe discards, he picks the discard pile up his next turn and keeps the wild card and discards a black three. Now, it becomes my turn and I’m stuck again. Those are the cons to this app, but I still play it, just wish they’d update with some fixes.

I love Canasta, but it is so hard to find anyone that knows how to play it. And, this app offers absolutely no challenge at all. I have had this app for well over a year. I have played approximately 500 times and have only lost 2 times. I like winning just as much as the next guy, but it takes a lot of the fun out of the game when you start off knowing what the outcome will be.

This is a fun version of Canasta to play. HOWEVER, reviewers have been noting in the reviews for years that it is irritating for the partners to slough off wild cards uselessly when ending the hand, when the wild cards should have been used to finish another canasta.
