Pros and cons of Canasta Solo app for iPhone and iPad
Canasta Solo app good for
Only just got it and find it addictive already! I enjoy the speed and set up of the game. Points to improve: -access to rules and how to play the game. - better view of how many cards opponent has in their hand.
Great game to get!
Awesome good love it....wish you guys could make it where we can play against other people who have iOS phones.
I grew up playing canasta with my mother. Its hard to find people who know the game. I found this game and have been hooked for the past 3 days! The best!
First time player. Heard about the game the first time on the show The Nanny. Only now sitting down to learn. Lots of fun, however, I dont fully understand it yet. Looking forward to becoming an expert. Cool ap, easy to maneuver, good graphics.
I love it... Ive been winning. Considering its just a game, I appreciate the fact I have a chance. I cant stand the game apps that are impossible unless you buy something, so this game gets my vote!
Well laid out and looks great! Easy to play and understand; however, as with most comments here the AI in the free game is extremely poor. I can pickup and discard continuously without any fear of the computer picking up the pile, and then pick it up at the end and rack up a dozen canastas and win in one hand. Ive never lost, and that doesnt make for a challenge. :-(
Some bad moments
Game looks good, plays well but the AI is sorely lacking. I can beat it every single game and hold it almost scoreless taking all the cards. I can be out in 2 hands in 5 games I played. First I wasnt sure but it is repeatable.
For instance, AI has broken with 3 jacks, there is a 10 card pile not frozen and I throw a Jack, it draws... Seriously bad.
I would have bought the paid version but Im doubting the difficulty levels will be sufficient with flawed programming like this.
There are other free games that have much smarter AI but poorer interfaces but I would pick them over this unless you just like to feel good beating dumb AI.
First the positives: the format is fine and the game responds quickly. I usually win every game, and now comes the negatives:
The game has not been programmed to strategize to win. This has been bugging me for a while but just now my opponent discarded an Ace when keeping it would have resulted in a 500point canasta. It is constantly discarding cards that it can use to win the game. There just isnt any sport in it when I feel like Im playing my 7-year old (who has no strategy either)
Im moving on to another developer and hoping for the best.
7-31-16 downloaded the lite version before i pay $1.99 for pro version. very smart move on my part! game wont even open! prefer to give zero stars. people dont waste your time or money!!!
Game is fast but stupid plays on other opponent. Hardly picks up pile
Couple of flaws. Second one was very frustrating...
1/ you can only pick one card off deck. There is no setting to change this to two cards off the deck like in some variations.
2/ I was just playing a hand where I had five 5s down on my meld table and I had one 5 and one 2 in my hand. It would not let me put the sixth 5 down and then the wild two to make a canasta and then go out. So I had to discard the five and keep the two. This put us in the position of that there was a two in the pile already, so neither of us could pick up the pile without a double in our hand and both of us only had one card. We had to go through all 43 cards in the deck before the game would end. It would have ended way before if it would let me make my canasta and go out with my six fives and the wild two...
It is a very nice game, except when the Bot finishes without making a Canasta!!! If you try to do the same it will tell you that you need a Canasta to finish!!!
