Canasta Gold App Reviews

I love this game. There are things that could be improved. For starters,I wish that I could ask my partner if I could go out. Also, I wish that I could change the names of the players. The last thing that I wish for is that it kept a lifetime score. Thanks!

I would like to see the ability to take a play back if you make a mistake, sometimes you grab wrong card and discard...etc. I also can not find statistics?

Beautiful presentation, but lacks good logic for AI partner, some explanation of rules are not clear, and no sound. I like being able to run my music in the background, but wish there was some card sounds, something subtle, not overbearing, and the ability to turn the sound off, for those who dont want it. Oh, and you misspelled Canasta: "You need at least one Canata to finish."

Great app but its maddening playing with an AI partner that makes terrible errors. All same issues as listed in other reviews, plus: AI will hold cards in hand that should be put down in meld to get closer to having canasta--I had to lay out almost all my cards to make the 120 so I had 1 card in my hand and my partner had nine and kept discarding wilds and our meld cards when we desperately needed to make a canasta so I could go out. It was infuriating!!! Not fun at all to play with mistakes in logic like this.

Adding jokers to natural canastas, freezing the deck with non-wild cards, and other actions make this a very un-enjoyable game. Card Shark is MUCH BETTER!

I agree that the AI should be smarter, but what really bothers me is that I PAID for the version to get rid of all the ads and find in the last few days that every time I open the PAID version a full-screen ad for another game comes up. Bad business.

Id like to select a character to represent me while playing. I do not know how to do that, or if in fact thats possible. Otherwise, its a great game!!!!

I dont think that I would play more than one game with a real life partner who was as ignorant of the game as my computer partner is in this game. Please fix this. Need option for new partner.

Sidr00 said it all. The logic of this game is sick and desperately needs to be updated.

I wrote a review then decided to DELETED this app!!!!!!! Then I down loaded it again after the update, but it seems to get worse the longer i play it!!! If you play canasta good DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!! PLEASE WORK ON THIS APP!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this game but Im sick of having a partner that cant play!!!!!! Every time the deck is frozen instead of playing a card that they already have down they ALWAYS play a new card which nine times out of ten they pick up. They also hold all their cards when picking up the deck even if the other team already has a canasta & only 1 card in their hand!! They also play a wild card on a pile that is not near a canasta, when the pile next to it would make a canasta with that wild card!! It will discard a card that is needed to make a canasta when they still have 5-10 cards in their hand!! When playing with just two players I have NEVER lost!! On 4 players my partner plays a bit better than it does on 2 but not much! PLEASE PLEASE teacher your partners how to play better or make a non partner choice so we have a more even chance of winning. You fixed the other problems the app was having but seemed to make worse problems! I wont buy another app from your company or recommend anyone else do so until you try to do something about this. This is a shame because I really like your game, Im just sick of playing with a player that cant play worth a crap!!!!! If I play only 2 players it was tooooo easy, if I play with four my partner would lose the game for me, so there is no winning!!!!!

Fair game but needs to cycle more hands instead of repeating the same ones over and over. Fix that and Ill gladly give you 5 stars

This app is not worth buying. The logic to this game is so pitiful and not worth playing. Please upgrade the IQ of the computer player.

This game needs to be fixed. It picked up the deck and did not use the cards from the deck. I always win. No challenge.

Please read your reviews and respond to them by fixing this! The reviewers are all correct and explain the problem well. When will you fix it? Its annoying having a dumb partner.

When I am nearing the end of one hand, have a large discard stack, I have a pair, but it wont let me draw from the discards!!! Once it starts not allowing me to draw from discards, I cant draw at all for the remainder of the hand, no matter how many pairs I have that I SHOULD be able to pick up. VERY aggrivating!

Canasta does not make sense. The computer can pick up from the discard pile when she has cards on the table but I cannot.??? Not Fair at all.

It is very frustrating to have AI partner who melds wild cards on existing canastas instead of on one that could lead to another canasta. Even discarded a card that would have created a canasta. Ugh!

For a paid app, this feels like a work in progress. Since people are forking over money for the app, the developers need to work on the AI for both 1 on 1 and 2 on 2 games. Theres little fun in beating unworthy opponents.

Pretty good game. Can play doubles or you vs computer. Your partner, however, isnt as "smart" in playing. You can adjust the computers level of knowledge, but it comes out about the same. Still a good game when you need something to do.

The app itself is easy to use but I always win the game because my opponent plays her cards down to only one card in hand and can never canasta! There is absolutely no competition ever!! It makes it a very BORING game.
