### 2/5 — ?

*2026-03-03*

Why when there is 4 people ready to play a game that it waits for more players and then one that has been waiting longer gets kicked out?

### 2/5 — Good graphics but that’s all

*2026-02-16*

Incorrect meld scoring. Flawed ranking system. VERY slow game play.

### 2/5 — Getting not to play

*2026-01-11*

First 4 people should be the four to play. Shouldn’t wait for fifth or sixth people. I was the first in the room and didn’t get to play.

### 2/5 — All of a sudden

*2025-12-08*

Great game, however they have added way too many ads. And you can’t get out of the ads!?

### 2/5 — Not original pinochle rules!

*2025-04-29*

cards lead” MUST “ be beaten if possible especially in trump.
. A marriage or a 9 MUST be in the trumpers hand or it is a reneg and the team forfeits that hand. 
  “HIGHEST SCORE WINS”  regardless  of who makes the final bid. 
 Where did you learn your rules or is this a (MY GAME, MY RULES)
 For people trying to learn the game this is the worst example to sho them on!

### 2/5 — ?

*2025-04-28*

Why when there is 4 people ready to play a game that it waits for more players and then one that has been waiting longer gets kicked out?

### 3/5 — Online

*2024-11-22*

Not busy have to wait too long for a real game

### 3/5 — Looses connection

*2024-05-27*

Has happened several times in the middle of a game and an error message comes on and says to try later

### 3/5 — Decent

*2017-07-12*

Wish that it would give an option to see how each players cards add up to the points instead of just pausing to show how many they have and moving on.

### 2/5 — Double deck pinochle

*2016-06-01*

I have been playing pinochle for well over 50 years. This  app was not developed by a Pinochle player.  They don't give you proper scores if you have multiple marriages in the same suit. They have your partner giving non-pointers and aces on aces when not necessary. They also make you beat the suit after it has been trumped!  It needs a major over-haul & not a good training tool for a beginner.  Lola-Nevada

### 1/5 — Major Bug

*2026-01-26*

When you take the bid, and have a double run, it shows ALL the cards you have in your trump suit when displaying meld, instead of only showing the meld cards.  This is a major issue.

### 1/5 — Pinochle Online

*2025-12-03*

This was my favorite pinochle game until yesterday. Now ads are popping up multiple times throughout the game. They last so long you forget what was going on in the game before the game started. Totally ruins the playing experience.

### 1/5 — 5 players Computer picks for I’ve been kicked out so many times after waiting for a fifth player.

*2025-10-17*

Why does the game wait for five players and kick somebody randomly out. First four players out to be able to play

### 1/5 — Low score out

*2025-05-01*

I wanted to play a game of expert double deck. There was one person in the room. I joined the room, and then a third person joined the room And then the fourth instead of going to play a game it allowed a fifth person to wait, and his score was higher than mine, and I was kicked out even though I What’s the second person to sign up in the room. How am I supposed to get a higher score? If I keep getting kicked out this game needs to be re-designed.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother.

*2025-02-12*

It’s not real pinochle

### 1/5 — Don’t use computer robots

*2024-09-26*

Two days in a row I have use computers to play and practice with. The computer player freezes up and I lose rating so please consider this your final warning pull the game or I’ll put a bug in it.

### 1/5 — Improper play

*2024-01-20*

When playing with ai.   They send losers as pass cards, no prioritizing passing cards at all.   Sat for an hour without being able to fill a table for online game.    No option to pass 3 cards.   Trash game and will be uninstalling.

### 1/5 — It too small

*2022-04-10, version 3.0.1*

I can't see the cards why is it so small dislike it put size back😒

### 1/5 — Turned the best pinochle app to the worst,

*2022-04-07, version 3.0.0*

You can’t even see your hand as the box that shows the bids cover up your cards.

### 1/5 — Worst App Out There

*2016-03-07, version 1.0.9*

Don't bother loading this game!  Very slow & every other play, it tells you to play a card, when you've already done so...only way to fix this is to hit undo.

### 5/5 — Come join

*2025-06-21*

I love this game and I clean

### 5/5 — Niceness

*2025-04-25*

Great playing game with various player levels truly enjoyable. Nik-

### 5/5 — Calm and strategic

*2024-06-15*

No negative comments or head games here!  Just play and enjoy the game!  Great app!  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great updates

*2022-05-06, version 3.1.1*

Like the new graphics. Very realistic play.

### 4/5 — Why the reduction in points awarded ?

*2025-05-12*

I started 6 months ago and you were awarded 7 points for a win and 2 points for a loss except if MARVIN was involved, then it was 3 points for a win.  Now, almost every win is 3 points with 7 awarded rarely.  What is the exact protocol for awarding points for wins ?

### 4/5 — Pinochle.net

*2024-04-29, version 4.2.2*

I love the game but lately it is closing me out of games when it is not even my turn! And then deducting 10 points! Very frustrating! Please fix this issue. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Pinochle

*2016-04-09, version 1.0.9*

Easy to play. Wish it had option to pass 3 cards

### 3/5 — 4 card pass

*2026-06-01*

I really don’t like the  4 card pass rule

### 3/5 — Ok

*2026-03-18*

It’s probably not like pinochle you’re used to but ok to kill time, the dealing is ridiculous, really one sided, people realize if you go set a couple times it will deal you a double run so they just go set for a hand to be annoying, but if you get decent players it’s fun

### 3/5 — Too Slow :(

*2025-10-23*

The game layout, graphics, etc. is all very good, BUT actual game play is soooooo slow.
