@JoanneLP I also have issue with timer. If opponent doesn’t play, the time goes down and then just flashes “0” and never gives option to extend time. I have to leave game and therefore lose. I suspect some players know how to make this happen so they can win. This has gone on for months.

I have had this issue as well. The timer goes to zero and it just keeps flashing. I know players do this on purpose but it doesn't allow for me to boot them. That is a way of cheating for them or they slow play on purpose and you can't boot them.

  That is why I don't play with humans. I just use the computer generated players in a four player game.
  The problem with that is that computer generated players and the game over all is so poorly written in terms of computer game programming, that it really is a tough game to play without getting horribly frustrated.
  On more than one occasion, my bot partner has gone out instead of picking up a card off the discard pile that would have formed a canasta.
  It gets even worse.
  If the opponents are going to win the game, the computer generated partner should not be trying to go out, it should be trying to form more canastas in an effort to have an even higher score before any player goes out.
