Canasta Gold App Reviews

This is a good card game if you want to win every time

I love this game but it comes with so many glitches. When I am close to "going out" it wont let me pick up the pile.

Agree 100% with other users comment about logic. This game could be a major hit if they would fix that!

Besides learning the rules to this game, you might want to learn the strategy before you make an app.

The AI players have really bad game logic. When you are playing with one as a partner, they will make bizarre plays. When playing against one without partners you will never lose and the game is quickly boring. Id also prefer the option to be able to draw two cards. Otherwise your opponent AI can never hope to win as they meld all but one card asap and then cannot pick up the pile or ever have enough cards to make a canasta.

This game is good but it often crashes requiring me to reboot my iPad Air. My iPad is totally up to date. The program is too buggy for a paid app.

No challenging at all

Great for a free app! No complaints!

When the computer gets into a bind such as only having two cards left in its hand with no book made yet, it goes nuts. It lets me gather a lot of cards in my hand but when I try to lay them into books it locks up and makes me take a count even when I still have many, many cards to lay down. It just did this and it gave me 3200 points when I would have made over 10000 if I could filled the books. This has happened several times. I guess the programmer was a sore loser!

First the game worked well. An upgrade resulted in a bug that caused the game to keep restarting, sometimes in the middle of a hand. The bug was "fixed" and the game worked well until the same bug bit again. It continues to restart. I really like the game when it plays nice with me. 2/13/15 The game continues to have problems. It freezes and wont restart without having to delete the app and downloading again. As others have noted the game is not always logical in the play. For instance the app "player" will go out by discarding a wild card or card that is on that players board instead of using it for points. I continue to play it because I consistently win. It is very easy.

I love the game but my partner make some VERY dumb moves.

This game is so frustrating. The partner is stupid! Why is the game played the way it is? Who in there right mind would put a wild card on a red canasta and turn it to black? Who would put wild cards on a canasta and ignore making other canastas that are on the board? Trust me if there was another one I would not be playing this one!!

The discard pile does not always make it into your hand when the pile is "picked up." Same goes for the opponent when they pick up the discard pile; the opponent does not always discard a card to begin a new discard pile. This is a real bummer and inhibits the proper playing of the game. Please fix the bugs/glitches.

There should be a setting where player can decided whether to draw one or two cards, as well as other game set-ups. Also the game sometimes does not discard when it has cards in its hand.

I agree with many of the reviews out here. Play dynamics is great visuals are good but the UI is an idiot. It plays wilds on canastas instead of other stacks, discards on going out instead of playing that card on a stack. Also you shouldnt be able to pick up cards of a closed canasta. The UI will hold cards that could make a canasta after picking up the discard pile. It plays cards down when the deck is frozen instead of holding them it has even played a wild down to play cards down. Please update One other item I have noticed is that the paid version keeps asking me to play skat. I dont want ANY ads on a paid version. UPDATE There is also no way to write to the company support to log bugs. For example I was playing a two player game and the AI laid down all but one card and was no where near a canasta. In addition I have seen the computer go down to one card and then not discard and it was then my turn. AND still get ads in the paid version. Dont buy folks!

At the end of a hand, I cant pick up the pile even though its not frozen. Too many "bonehead" partner moves.

I do like the game, but its been crashing. Please update the game!

This game froze up and I have to abort and restart the game! I had a great game! Guess the computer didnt like losing that badly!

Agree with the existing reviews about the downsides of this game. Makes me crazy when it freezes and crashes. Can this be fixed in an update? Hope so because $3.99 is a lot for this app with these problems. Logic is horrible and my playing partner is stupid!!! It seems that I am the partner who melds first the majority of the time.

Please fix...my favorite game, but partner doesnt know how to play. Wastes wild cards on previously closed canastas instead of making new ones. Also, player to right sometimes doesnt discard. So frustrating. I dont understand why every other game provides updates to correct problems, yet this game never improves. please fix it!!!
