Hand and Foot is a North American card game related to Canasta. This version provides a smooth and intuitive way to enjoy the game solo against computer opponents or online. The goal is to be the first to rid yourself of two sets of cards: the 'Hand' and the 'Foot'. With clear graphics, customizable table rules, and an easy-to-use interface, it’s the best way to play this classic pastime without the mess of shuffling five decks of cards.

Our Expert Score
Hand and Foot is a beloved North American card game that often lacks a good digital representation, but this app changes that. It manages to translate a game that typically involves 5 or 6 decks of cards into a clean, manageable mobile interface. The AI is surprisingly sharp, providing a genuine challenge for veteran players without feeling like it's 'cheating' by knowing the deck.
What I appreciate most is the customization of house rules. Hand and Foot is notorious for having a dozen different regional variations, and this app allows you to toggle specific rules for melds, red threes, and ending conditions. The multiplayer mode is stable and easy to jump into. For anyone who grew up playing this around the kitchen table, this is a perfect, faithful digital companion.

Tips & Walkthrough
You must play all cards in your 'Hand' to unlock your 'Foot' deck. Strategy involves saving wild cards for the Foot to ensure you can go out quickly.
Gameplays
Go to settings to adjust the points required for opening melds, ranging from 50 to 150 points as the game progresses.

Love app/disappointed in developer
Mon May 07 2018 DillyDillyDMAI like the others purchased twice because I love the app. Just don’t think it is fare to have to pay twice just because of the updates to IOS. Why are the players the same? I can’t understand how anyone could play cards with arms above their heads! You charged for this update and did nothing else. Still no clock at the top like there was in the beginning. Didn’t give us much of anything except to be able to play the game. Hope you enjoy what money you receive. At least you could have reduced the amount for those of us who already purchased this. Enjoy!
Game is rigged
Wed Oct 01 2025 NICKNAMEiskkAlthough my win rate is high, I don’t appreciate having a game handed to me (and no telling how many times this has happened before today when it was so obvious). I have played this game hundreds of times. Inoticed my opponent had only one possible clean book: five 6s. My opponent discarded a 6. This made no sense then later discarded another 6. Since there was no other possibility of getting a clean book, the 6s should have been placed on the opponents board.
Keeps crashing on IPad
Thu Jun 04 2020 jpatten1Yes, I also have paid for this game for the third time. I love the game and don’t mind paying for it as long as it works. The problem is that it only works some of the time on my IPad. It will work great for days, then the cards will hang on the screen and I have to completely shut it down and start over. I cannot find any correlation between any other apps running, have restarted the IPad, tried several other things to get it it to work properly. It continues to crash. Then the next day it will work perfectly for a few days, then it will start doing it again. The game works fine on my IPhone. Very frustrating to say the least.
Plays Good So Far
Wed Oct 11 2017 KCDC22We owned the original version, were very disappointed that it was incompatible with IOS 11, so needless to say we were pleased to see the developer released a version for IOS11. So far we have not experienced any of the bugs reported by other reviewers. We deleted the previous version prior to installing this version, that may have helped? I will update the review if any new issues arise.
Not working right
Mon Feb 19 2018 BNCarmanI have asked that the version for an IPhone be corrected! The game plays very well, but there is a slight problem in each hand! Every time it STARTS a new hand, the HELP BAR on the right side...moves toward the center...so you have to turn the IPhone to a VERTICAL position...then back to horizontal to play! This happens for EVERY NEW HAND! It’s very irritating, to say the least! This is my 3rd report....SUPPORT APP isn’t working right either! How can I get hold of someone?
It’s fun but
Sun Sep 11 2022 gbfdykkxdjrefI wish you could play against actual people I haven’t had any crashes like others did but I do notice that the game is rigged andIt’s fun in real life and I also hate how they only have one set of each color when I was taught it was to read and three black books this game is too quick
Glad to have new vesion!
Mon Apr 23 2018 Cooking Diva 97Loved the old version but disappointed when it was incompatible with IOS 11. Only one problem with new version that I have noticed is that the rotation does not happen either with the settings button or with the rotation of the phone. This make it difficult to keep up with the progress of your opponents.
Had to buy this app again after IOS 11 update!!
Mon Oct 16 2017 WillynlOld app said: contact developer for update app! But you can’t contact the developer anymore with the old app. Ridiculous that you have to pay twice for the same app. Apple should really punish developers who don’t update their apps. I always shiver when I have to update IOS, since you never know what will work, and for which apps you have to pay again, or worse, which apps disappear completely. Really bad from this developer!
