Canasta HD 12+

Good be better - needs more options - could be faster

I have enjoyed this app, it’s a good game and not too many ads. Ads only appear at the end of a hand but it’s a mystery to me why the points sometimes don’t add up. Like when your partner goes out and your holding 10pts in your hand but 20pts are deducted?? Then there was the game where the opponents seemed to be awarded points for a concealed canasta but they didn’t have one? That was very odd. Just can’t figure it out.

Edit two days later

I think I need to find another version. This one has an annoying glitch. Every now and then, you can’t choose a card to discard because it says “your selection doesn’t match”. Match what I say? I’m trying to discard. It also glitches sometimes what trying to pick up. Today I had to ditch a game because I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t select a card to discard, I couldn’t meld and I couldn’t pick up the pile. Frustrating especially added to the scoring mistakes.

Second edit

Twice my partner has gone out by placing a wild card on an already formed canasta whilst there are melds of six on the table. I understand preserving a potential natural canasta during the game but when going out it would be better to place the last wild card in your hand on a meld of six to form another canasta. The developer really needs to update this game. I’m ready to chuck it In.t

Third edit

Why does my partner hold onto all their cards and not put down when I have picked up the pack several times and we have 11 melds on the table? That's EVERY number in the pack except for 2 and 3. So the partner has a full hand of 11 cards and there are 11 melds to put down on and they can't make a single move? This is nonsense. If I had this partner in a real game I would never play with them again. Were they asleep? Is that it? The game can be played with a dopey, sleepy partner?
