### 4/5 — Fhhhvv

*2026-08-09, version 1.21*

Too

### 5/5 — Prison style

*2026-08-02, version 1.21*

Great

### 4/5 — Hmmm

*2026-08-01, version 1.21*

The game is very good but differs in passing than in real life. Downside to the app is all the perverts and convicts who are extremely devious and utilize the chatting part of the app as a way to seek out and exploit women.

### 5/5 — Good Game

*2026-07-28, version 1.21*

Enjoy the double pack

### 1/5 — Absolutely garbage

*2026-07-12, version 1.21*

On Apple iOS. Has no communication with screen reader or accessibility for the blind. I am so sick of these developers who completely ignore the blind community. Rotten hell

### 5/5 — Realistic including the Cheaters

*2026-07-07, version 1.21*

After newest update the solo play generates way too many double runs and double aces. 
The past week there have been 4 double runs and a couple of double aces. This sucks. I guess they are trying to add more excitement but it is not anywhere close to the percentage of hands. 

When playing the solo with computer generated partner and opponents, the other team seem to be aware of each other's cards. They always seem to be able to lead a card after their aces have been played to get to their partner. Oftentimes leaving your aces to be trumped. I understand legit methods for determining a weakness in the other teams hand, and or playing specific cards to communicate to come back in a specific suit. This is different. The end result is they are talking across the board and you cannot call them on it.

I still like the game a lot.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-07, version 1.21*

Learned pinochle over 40yrs ago with WWII vets in Germany where the game originated. Been playing this app a year now and it’s OBVIOUSLY using very flawed software. Deals I never saw in 40 years happen here every day. Worse yet, their monitoring and policing is creepy., what they allow and what they ban you for is so inconsistent that it’s gotta be one misfit basement dweller doing it! I gave it a year. Glad to delete it now.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-28, version 1.21*

I’d like to see the bidding and strategy of computer go up a bit but it’s the best I’ve found!

### 2/5 — Not Realistic

*2026-06-24, version 1.21*

Cards favor computer most of the time.

### 5/5 — My favorite part time

*2026-06-24, version 1.21*

Not only do I love this platform, it should be studied, you guys are the best thanks
