Won't let me win big!

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!
Confused

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 won't 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.

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!!
Too many glitches

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.
UI is horrible

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 shouldn't 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 don't 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. Don't buy folks!

At the end of a hand, I can't pick up the pile even though it's not frozen. Too many "bonehead" partner moves.
