## Review summary

Users praise the easy interface, offline play, and customizable settings, but repeatedly complain about updates removing control over opponent strength, suspicious AI/dealing, and performance issues that harm fairness and fun. Overall, the game is enjoyable when settings work and performance is solid, but many want the old Canasta experience restored.

### Pros

- Easy-to-use interface with fair real-time melds
- Customizable play settings, including opponent/partner options, and the ability to play with computer opponents
- Save progress and resume later; offline play without internet

### Cons

- Recent updates removed or limited control over opponent strength, reducing user control and changing gameplay
- Perceived AI/bot cheating and non-random dealing; opponents seem to know cards
- Lagging, freezing, and other performance issues after updates
- Updates have degraded fairness and fun; many players want the old Canasta back
