Doesn’t load on apple
When I downloaded this app it worked great on apple. I even bought the upgraded version. And after about 1 year. It started to not load on my apple devices right. Won’t load on my iPhone 13 Pro 99.9% of the top me. Been happening for a couple of years. I sent reports back on the app when I got a load error but as of now no fixes. Don’t waste your money if you have an iPhone.Show lessKeioli
Game programmers
I would have given the game no stars if I could have. Dingbats! I guess you must have dingbats for programmers! In the pass 4 cards mode, my Computer partner. Keeps the cards I need to make a straight. In a real game their going to pass 4 different cards in the Trump suit I named. The other problem is when my partner starts leading trump to take tricks. Once you take all the trump from the other players. It’s time to stop playing trump cards. And keep them until you need them. By using up all the Trump cards in your hand, your opening up the suits that where getting trumped. Therefore putting the opposite team members in control of the rest of the hand! So like I said dingbats with no pinochle game strategy knowledge programmed this game.Show less47 chromosomes
What
Getting worse. Yes it is a computer program but when I pass two queen of spades to my partner and it returns to me two jack of diamonds? In hindsight I guess this is ok, after all the game is called PINOCHLE not DOUBLE PINOCHLE!
Again, this is what the computer had as points and my hand. The computer passed to me both jack of diamonds. Maybe a programmer that understands how the game is played!Show lessFJAYD3
Pinochle
The robot partner doesn’t “understand” the concept of queen of spades and jack of diamonds for pinochle. If my partner bids diamonds and in addition to diamonds I pass the queen of spades “he” invariably returns the queen of spades to me. Same thing happens if my partner bids spades and in addition to spades I pass a jack of diamonds. He returns it every time when he has a queen of spades in his hand.
IT’S VERY FRUSTRATING. I USUALLY JUST DELETE THE WHOLE GAME.Show lessNicer Karen
Cards on the go!!!
No matter time/place cards at hand to fill wait time. Thank you2gomeme
Lousy Game
It’s evident that the programmers do not understand how to play the game. They often lead with a ten even when the aces haven’t been played. Additionally, they don’t seem to know that pinochle is the queen of spades and the jack of diamonds and that it’s worth points. It would be nice if they could “fix” the game by learning strategy and then charge us for it. I would gladly pay for this game if they could fix it.Show lessJanmusique
Pinochle fun
I love this game and hope it will be available when I upgrade my iphone! My only frustration is the partner play. You never throw a winning card on a play where your partner already won it!! Sad when my partner throws an ace on mine!GameFanVa
Needs work
Need to get a real pinochle player to help with programming. Computer does not play like a real player would play. Like throwing Aces off instead of K’s or 10’s. Breaking up double pinochle when passing cards.Gzman2881
Very well done.
Updated 2021 This is a well-polished app, though there is some room for improvement/development. Game play is smooth, and the banner ads are relatively unobtrusive. The AI partner does play a good strategy in cooperation with me. I find the rules fairly similar to what I learned years ago—must play trump if you don’t have the suit, bidder out, etc. A suggestion: allow for “house rules” such as the team must take 20 counters or lose meld, or starting bid is 50, or opening trick must use trump or Ace (or Ace of trump in my cousins’ rules). One problem is the tiny size of the cards at the beginning of each hand...it’s too easy to tap the wrong card and you can’t take it back. I know it would lead to some cheating, but I’d like an undo button for when my fat fingers don’t play the card I chose.Show lessKHLP
Bot is lousy partner
I agree with everything that was said about the bot not passing correctly. Very frustrating!!!
Can’t someone reprogrammed this thing so it plays better?Valerie451
