Canasta NR HD App Reviews

More than 1/2 the time it deals but wont let me draw & when I go back to main menu & try to resume game it deals a whole new game. Quite irritating!

When will this be available to play with friends on the iPhone 4?

The game freezes A LOT. When not frozen, playing against the computer is worthless because there is no challenge. Playing against live opponents is boring because there is no realistic time limit for turns. Terrible game. Im going back to Yahoo Canasta.

The game is fun, but has a lot of bugs. In order to start a new game u must go back to the main options page and restart. Every time I start a new game it never works the first time. The game freezes. I have to close the game I just opened and start another one. This becomes a bit annoying. I have played several games where the other player draws 2 cards off the deck and than picks the pile up. I have also played several hands where the other player will only meld 15 or 20 points when a minimum of 50 is required. Please fix the bugs and I will gladly give a higher rating. The game is fun, but the kinks r a little annoying...

Cards will disappear from the table sometimes when you hit one of the option buttons. Since the cards wont redisplay, this aborts your game because of bug number 2... Which is the resume game feature doesnt work. Exit the app, restart it and tap the resume game button, and you are dealt a brand new game. Useless. Makes it hard to finish a game...

This app still needs some updates with fixes. Thank you for creating it by the way. I really like the layout. I havent tried multi-player yet, but I do have some bugs I want to mention and hopefully you will give us an update with fixes. Game freezes: At times in the middle of a game it will freeze. Meaning the cards will only spin or not move at all. This has happened 4 times so far. Then you have to start a new game. After you finish a game its always frozen so you have to start a new game twice. Sometimes when I pick up the pile towards the end of the hand it makes me go out instead of picking up the pile. This has happened a few times when there was 1 card left in the stock pile when it came to my turn. Resume Game: This option does not work for me at all. It always starts you over. I have it open in the background on my iphone. If I click on it after not playing for a little while in the middle of a game it takes me to the options screen. I click resume game and it starts me over. Canasta Rules: First of all may I suggest going to yahoo games canasta page and click on the rules? This will help a lot. When the cards are being dealt, if you happen to get a red 3 or more than one before you start the hand, youre supposed to get an extra card for each red 3. I have noticed when you actually draw a red 3 you get and extra card, but not when they are dealt to you. If you have under 0 points after the first hand its 15 points to meld regardless. It is possible to meld all of the cards in your hand without a canasta and without going out. You just pass to the next player. You should not be forced to discard. If the discard pile is frozen by a wild card you cannot pick up the pile unless you have 1 of the same card with a wild or at least two of the same cards in your hand. This is assuming you have already met the points to meld or have the amount of points to meld in your hand. If the pile is frozen, a 7 is discarded, and you have 5 7s melded and none in your hand, you cannot pick up the pile. I had already met meld with no 9s on the board, had only one 9 in my hand, no wilds, and I was able to pick up the pile. This is against canasta rules. Then I was able to keep the 9s in my hand as well as the discard pile when I discarded. This needs to be fixed. It makes the game too easy to cheat. Also its against the rules. Feedback: I would like to see an option for 4 player partners with AI and like the idea of 3 players instead of two if you opt out of playing partners. I hope this review helps and that we get an update with fixes soon. Thanks again for taking the time to create this app.

I would love to have a chart of how many wins/losses you have and maybe a ranking system like in other games I play.

The game has a lot of bugs. There is no landscape support. The developer does not return messages. The game play is awkward - it isnt a natural feel for card games or for a tablet.

Ran into problem where neither myself nor my opponent could pick up the frozen pile even though we had two cards in our hand matching the top card on the pile. We had a great game going, but this ruined it with no way out. Also, need undo button. Other buggy things in starting and resuming games.

The description of this app says you can play other players anytime, anywhere, which is total BS. It also says you can play multiple players to which you cant. This is one of those "with friends" games where you have to wait for your friend to play even if it takes them several hours to several days to play. You cant play a live game with a friend with this app. WHAT A TOTAL WASTE OF MY TIME AND $$$

I would like to learn how to play this game this app is seriously flawed for that purpose.

I cant even get the game to let me start.

In looking at the other reviews its clear the developers are not addressing the issues. The game continues to freeze. Saved games with other internet players disappear, sometimes you cant get on the server, the list continues. For a pay app the developers should be working to remedy the situation not ignore them. Very disappointing. I wouldnt recommend paying for the frustration.

I wish I can get my money back Dont buy it u cant even plAy the game it reAlly stinks u have to even wait sooo long for someone to have their turn no stars

Almost a great ap but too buggy - freezes when all cards are played but no one goes out, wont let you pull a frozen stack with 2 natural 7s in your hand and 4 on the table, after three rounds the whole game froze. The only way out is to close the whole program but still cant perform these actions. There are many great and fun things about this program but you have to wonder if they would ever get fixed since the write up promises a update over a year ago. I think the authors are happy our money and run!

This game works correctly only about 15% of the time. Waste of money. Would be great if the bugs were fixed. It just randomly decides to not show what anyone is discarding and cards from my hand disappear. Disappointed.

You cannot see your opponents meld because the cards are so tiny. The game stops midway and will not restart. Sometimes it will not even calculate a score when a game is over. You have to close the program to start a new name. When I tried playing another player, it labeled her hand with my name and vice versa.

There are so many bugs! I love Canasta and there are not many apps to choose from. I keep hoping that they will update this and fix the bugs. About 20% of my games freeze up and have to be ended. Very frustrating.

The developer must have moved on because the issues from over a year ago are still issues. Spend your $1.99 (+tax) on one with better reviews.

This game is very slow. I wish i had not bought it.
