User reviews

You didnโ€™t invent 5-handed pinochle, sorry.

I learned this from my German grandparents, aunts and uncles. They brought it over before WWII. Only difference is that the winning bidderโ€™s partner is the next player with an ace of trump. Otherwise, this brings back tons of fond memories. First time I learned to cuss in German was watching them play, lol. Thanks.

Please fix

This app is always locking. Canโ€™t undo unless I shut my iPad completely down. Pleas fix!!!!

Bidding is rigged

When you are picking cards to choose a partner and you are not the high bidder, the app will quickly pick a partner that has exactly what is needed for a super hand. Not a friendly game at all. I would say it cheats.

Like concept

Game could be fun but the dealing is ridiculous to the human. Played 30 hands and of 16 ace never saw more than 2. Had to pass most hands which is borrring. Just wanted to compete but spent most of my time watching.
