    HOW DO YOU TURN OFF THE STOOPID SETTING FOR THIS GAME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    COULD YOU PEOPLE PLEASE change your game's strategy in playing out a hand!!!!!?????

    horrible. throwing out aces early just as a point in play causing lost tricks later.

    Far to often my "partner" gives up an ace to feed a point, only to lose a trick or two later because the ace COULD HAVE BEEN USED to beat the 10 that inevitably is played. I would rather my "partner" lose an ace occasionally because it might have been played than to continuously lose tricks/hands/games because it should have been held to win a trick later.

    I have lost hands/games because of this stupid strategy to toss away an ace as simply a point to be fed.

    is this so hard to do???? poor strategy!! WORSE! NO STRATEGY THAT I CAN SEE.

    also. the odds of getting double pinochle with 4 people playing is 0.25%. why does it happen 3-5 times per game?

    the game is horrible. wish there was another option out there.

    anybody read these reviews????

  • Need to correct passing feature!

    If passing features would be corrected, I would give this app 5 stars. Partner should not be allowed to pass back cards received In a pass, especially when they pass back a jack or queen that would make a pinochle in partners hand. Read the rule book and fix.
  • Morons

    Whoever wrote this program certainly DOES NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME! To the "avid" pinochle player back on n the day", you clearly have forgotten every rule when passing to a partner. Power passes first, then let the trump caller pass the junk off to make meld. If you're holding onto an ace, or your partner passes it back, you hold it to cover their losers. ESPECIALLY if they meld losers. This game is way to frustrating for me to play anymore. It doesn't matter what trump is called, the computer partner ALWAYS passes trying to land the double pinochle. SOOOOOOO FRUSTRATING!!!!

  • Buggy

    This version forces you to play trumps when the rules allow you to dodge - even forces you to overtrump partner's winning non-trump hand. Have informed writers but no response.
  • FUN! BUT!

    I like this game more than other pinochle games but as most everybody has mentioned you can't really count on your partner passing the right cards plus if you don't take the bid your partner seldom will. All in all not anything out there that's much better.
    The last straw is when my partner sent back half of a double pinochle. Took the game off.

  • Pinochle

    This is my favorite card App. It is a bit quirky, but I've seen steady improvement by the author which is encouraging. It is a nice way to practice a bit between pinochle meetings! Everybody has slightly different scoring rules...
  • Not Happy overall

    They basically bully you into the upgrade with 30 second commercials at every turn. The promise of online play with live players has been non-existent so far. If i could get a refund I would take it. The flow of play has become predictable, i would say a computer could never mimic a real players thought process.

  • Fun game very bad players

    I wish you would program this game to play using the rules. Partner will not pass aces but passes an unrelated loser queen, why? Partner just passed back a jack of diamonds while playing a run of spades missing out on 4 points of possible score. We lost the game because of that and poor playing. Please fix this game as it is a potential winner. I would love to recommend to my friends but won't with these problems. Thanks.

  • Meh

    I like to play the game, but I would refuse to play with someone that played like the computer. If you bid clubs don't pass pinochle cards...they go the other way. Pisses me off...my partner is holding the king I need and passes a queen of spades...also... Playing a queen is usually an indication to your partner that you hold the ace...who taught you the game?

  • Needs work

    Very basic not a challenge, the game I was taught bid starts at 50, you have the ability to tell your partner you have twenty/thirty by jumping bid by two or three this way you push the bid to the power of your hand so if you have a hand to catch 28 you push and then go up more but you play to the limits, and lastly you need to catch 20 to keep your meld and you need twenty to register your meld...
