Fun and customizable!

I really enjoy the customization feature. I have been able to modify the rules to almost match the version I play with friends. I would suggest that in the Rules customization section, there be an option for the non bid winner to score points based on what tricks they take. For example, if my partner and I do not get the bid and I play the 2 of trump suit, we will get a point for it.

The Best????

I really enjoy playing pitch however, where I live not many people have heard of the game. So I rely on these apps. Yours had been the best. Now I have discovered a big flaw in the program , it doesn’t like to lose. I have changed the settings. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it but it still is the same.. When east or west has the bid each of them will have 3-4 trump in hand.., when my partner has trump I have none. My partner bids 3 consistently and loses 80% of those bids. Lastly when I am left with the bid I will not have any face cards in my hand at least 75% of the time… I am not a hard loser I’m still playing and I will win a game or two. I have learned to only bid when you have an ace because your opponent has it ! I only want to let you know what I think I have noticed about your game… I have played others and I will stick with yours.. I was hoping you could make it a little more fair Thanks Norm I am still having the same issue with your game… you took the time and responded to me and said that it was all random… however I don’t really believe it I will admit that I make mistakes and I am not a perfect player…. But the constant three bids by my partner and I can see that he doesn’t even have three trump in his hand is wrong… and that is definitely on you Please look into this… Thank you, Norm

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Pitch. Thank you for your review. The deals are not biased to any seat. It is just luck. We play on levels 1 and 2 for a relaxing game. Levels 4+ use an advanced Monte Carlo Simulation AI. Roughly, this deals many hands of the unknown cards and plays them to the end, trying each legal play (or bid). The best legal play on average is chosen. This results in some good plays on the higher levels. And of course a few bad ones too. We are continuing to work on improvements and have made some recently. Please check out our recent update.

Love the customization

My family and I play a version of Pitch called Skinch. Since all of the rules in this app are able to be customized, I was able to match the rules to the exact way we play! This is the first time I was able to replicate our real game on an app!

Glad to hear you are enjoy the game play. Thank you for your review.

Lots of fun

Love the game. Can configure fairly nicely.
Love the play back features.

Some suggestions for improvement:
Configure to allow bigger symbols for the suits on the cards played. Can be difficult to distinguish clubs from spades for these old eyes.

Configure the time before removing the cards from a completed trick. Often can’t catch the last card played.

For rules configuration, it would be great to have a rule that junk points are allowed except to win. Must make your bid, and only gets points for the bid - no extra points. That would match my local rules.

Thanks!!

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Pitch. Thank you for your review. And thank you for the helpful suggestions. We have a game speed option. This may help. It will keep the trick displayed longer before the completed trick is removed. However, it will also slow all the other animations down too. We will look into adding a separate slider to configure the trick display time. Or perhaps an option to keep the trick displayed until a tap on the trick. The “On reaching game over”, must bid to win setting will make it so one cannot win with junk points. However, the junk points are still added to the score. When you play are junk points added up to the "game over score - 1" points? Please send us some more details about your local version at support@neuralplay.com. We would like to try to add these options. Thank you again for your helpful suggestions and feedback.

Love it, but

I had to quickly improve my game as my husband and I frequently play when visiting our friends and I was the only non-player. I did improve by using your app. So much so that I’ve noticed mistakes several times. For example, the game will subtract my teams points because it mistakenly credits my opponent and penalizes me! For example, “they” get a point for low when my team clearly had the low card. Or they are credited with high when we got high. Not always. Not a big deal, but frustrating nonetheless. “You” just don’t count right sometimes.
I’ve tried deleting and re-installing several times to see if you’ve made upgrades or improvements yet.

Thank you for your review. The default option is that low point goes to the player who captures the low card in play. You can adjust this in settings and start a new game. It is likely this setting is confused. In case settings are confused, try going back to our defaults with Main Screen - Menu - Reset. If you still see the problem. Please contact us at support@neuralplay.com.

2 jokers (ranked below the 2)

Favorite card game to play by far! 9 out of 10! I would give it a 10 out of 10 if they could give the option to have “2 jokers (ranked below the 2) A lot of us northerners play with 2 jokers below the two.

Any chance we could get the 2 joker option?

Response from developer

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Pitch. Thank you for your review. Interesting option. We are continuing to add new options. We will add the two jokers below the 2 option to our list to work on.

Take it to the next level.

I love pitch. Love the app. I appreciate the short adds. Please take it to the next level, please add online/multiplayer option.

Only complaint;

Sometimes the ads are buggy. Occasionally, they do not load or they stop. This causes the user to close app/restart. Game is lost.

Response from developer

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Pitch. Thank you for your review. Thank you for the multiplayer suggestion. It is on our list to do. We apologize for the bad ads. We are working on removing them and improving the ad-based experience.

Pitch game

Overall not bad, but many times the hands are played totally incorrectly. For example: the computer will lead with the 2 of trump while holding Ace, Jack and 2. Absolutely the wrong play. Or while holding Ace, king and 2, the computer will play Ace and then another card instead of following with the king of trump (it’s called “swinging “ to capture the jack or any other trump in the game. That play also lets your partner throw points to you toward the “game “ point. Computer has Ace-deuce and leads the deuce? Stupid way to play Downloading a different app.
Dumb! Dealer gets stuck and bids 3?

Great Game

I love this app. My grandparents taught my brother and I how to play pitch a few months ago and we love it. Since we can’t always be together, this app is a great way to still play. I love how customizable everything is, you can even change the names of the AI players and the colorizations for the cards and table. We typically play 5-point with a few rules that my grandpa likes to add in, with this app it was so easy to create and use the custom set of rules that mirrors exactly how our family plays.
