Update 1.3.2 has improved ACE gameplay and awards ACE players experience points.
UPDATE - February, 2018
1st Canasta Cruise to CUBA is now SOLD OUT! Thank you for such a quick response.
Update - December 11, 2017:
Fixed ranking system incorrectly decreasing players rank from 9 -12
Update - November 20, 2017:
Update 1.3.0 is in! In this update, we updated ranking system to go past 25, the ranking progress at higher levels is more linear and A.C.E. can now be set to take over for players who leave multiplayer games
Update - October 28, 2017:
We are in the process of a major update. We understand that users are frustrated with some of the errors - so are we. The next update will fix most of these concerns including "ACE" playing badly as well as the much anticipated computer taking over if a player leaves and does not rejoin. However, we will not post the update until it has been thoroughly tested. As of this writing, we are still trying to correct code. Please know that this update is our #1 priority and we are working as quickly as we can to get it to you. We appreciate your patience.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT- September 28, 2017:
In response to many complaints about players leaving a game before it is finished, as of October 1st, 2017, ranking points will be deducted for all reported quitters. Those wishing to report, should submit screen shots of the game and/or chat. We will require 2 separate reports of the incident as we understand that sometimes, people can be disconnected rather than quit. We feel we have to do this to satisfy the many loyal players who have requested this.
There will be an opportunity to players affected to appeal the decision and action with possible re-instatement of their points determined on a case by case basis.
It is our intent, to shortly have a "Robot" mechanism to take over in the event of a player quitting. However, it is crucial that this mechanism be thoroughly tested prior to releasing the update on the app.
We re-iterate that members are STRONGLY encouraged to stay in their games until the end. Quitting is disrespectful and shows poor sportsmanship (sportswomanship?!). If you do not have enough time to play a full game, we suggest playing against ACE where you can play for as long or as short a time as you wish...and ACE won't be offended if you leave!!
If you have additional questions, or would like to report a player, please send an email to support@canastajunction.com

ACE can't meld dead cards
Talons will be given out to ACE appropriately
ACE will no longer start a wild card canasta without the time able to complete it.

Update 1.1.6
During the update of Version 1.1.6 which was released today, we were advised by our tech department of an systemic error that caused a complete malfunction of the program. For those that updated (or are on an automatic update) the app appears frozen at the start screen. We are aware of the problem; it has been corrected and an update submitted. Unfortunately, this may take 3 to 5 days (hopefully sooner) to be available.
The Canasta Junction community is growing daily, making the app better and more competitive as more people join our community. We appreciate your patience and support during our growing pains. We will post here when the update becomes available but encourage you to keep your app set to auto-update* to ensure that you get the update as soon as it is released.
