The scorekeeper taps the counters and types two numbers. The app adds it up.

Keeping score

Count the cards. It adds up the round.

Your table plays and counts its cards the way it always has. At the end of each round, the scorekeeper enters what each team made, and the app adds it all up with your group’s values.

Score Round 3 →

Books and red 3s

Tap + and − for each team’s clean, dirty and wild books and its red 3s. The app multiplies them out and adds the going-out bonus.

WENT OUT!

Who went out

Tap the team that went out, or “Nobody — the cards ran out”. When the round is saved, the app says who went out in big letters.

Cards on the table

Two numbers a team

Type the points of the cards each team melded and the cards still in their hands and feet. Card points go up in 5s.

To meld this round: 120

The meld minimum

Before every round the app shows what a team’s first meld needs. It’s shown, never checked.

Just type the totals

Or just the totals

Already added it up on paper? Type each team’s score for the round instead.

Undo

Undo and fix

Undo takes back the last round. Tap any saved round to fix it, and the totals are worked out again.

The app never deals, counts cards or referees, and it’s points only: no money changes hands in the app.

Your game

Three games, one app

Each group picks its game, and that game’s usual values fill in. Change any of them to match your house rules, or clear one your group doesn’t score.

Hand and Foot

Teams of two, a hand and a foot each, 4 rounds

Clean books 500, dirty books 300, wild books 1,500, red 3s 100 and going out 100. The meld minimum rises each round: 50, 90, 120, 150.

Classic Canasta

11 cards each, play to 5,000

Natural canastas 500, mixed canastas 300, red 3s 100 each or 800 for all four, and 100 more for going out concealed.

Modern American Canasta

13 cards each, play to 8,500

Canastas of 7s or aces, wild canastas, and 3s that count for or against a team by how many canastas it made. Special hands go in “Other points”.

Your card night

Stay at your table, or move tables

Your organizer picks how your group plays. Pick how many tables on the night, and the app draws teams of two, partners across from each other. With an odd number, one table of 3 plays everyone for themselves. Everyone plays.

Stay at your table

Everyone keeps their table and partner all night. Each table plays its games one after another and never waits for the others.

Move tables

After each game, the app draws new tables and new partners for everyone, and everyone’s own points add up. “Where do I go?” shows each player their next table, seat and partner.

What it does

Everything the score pad did, and more

Plan the card nights

Put in the schedule once. Everyone taps I’m in or Can’t make it, and the waitlist fills any open seat in order.

Who’s hosting, all season

See who’s hosting each card night, and where, with the address one tap from Maps.

Subs and reminders

Short a player? Text your subs a link, and the first to say yes gets the seat. Reminders on your phone before each card night (turn them on in Me).

“Where do I go?”

Each player sees their table, their seat and their partner. Late arrivals and early goodbyes are handled too.

Scoreboard and standings

Follow every table live. Then see tonight’s winners and every team’s scores, the season standings, the winners log and your brag card.

Big, easy text

Large type and big buttons, made to read across a card table, with an extra-large setting too.

Take a look first

Not sure yet? In the app, tap Take a look first. You get your own private sample group with pretend players, a card night already played and a practice night, so you can try everything, scoreboard and standings too, before you invite anyone.

Price

Free to play and keep score. Stats if you want them.

Saying “I’m in”, RSVPs, keeping score, finding your table, tonight’s winners with every team’s scores, and the brag card are free for everyone. US prices shown; in Canada, the store shows your price. Prices are per person: each player who wants the live scoreboard, season standings, the winners log and their stats subscribes for themselves. Canasta Circle has its own subscription: it doesn’t include our other apps, and theirs don’t include Canasta Circle. Subscriptions are handled by Apple on iPhone and Google Play on Android, and can be cancelled anytime.
