Good pinochle app
Auto turns on Game Center which I have set to be OFF every time I turn the game on. Also- in large print the trump suit icon is so large that it covers the card of the bid taker each play so I have to guess what they played. Needs to be fixed! Could be placed under the players name instead. I paid for no ads- Game Center turning on even when I went into settings to disable it is very frustrating.

decent but flawed
so many things to object. the north partner plays with no strategic sense—our pair can be less than 10 points from the win with a 100+ point lead and still make a reach bid. crazy. the bidding from partner is too fixated on trump marriages and especially on getting a double pinochle—i have missed 100 aces while partner passed a flyer on a double pinochle. also partner is too heavily disposed against bidding against the player. it feels like the north partner won’t bid to 33 even when holding a complete run in the hand. there’s more. game is decent as a whole but you will learn many bad habits playing this version.

Missing Important Rule
I’ve tried a lot of Pinochle apps and this is the best one by far. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is because it doesn’t have an option for the most basic role of Pinochle. Every Pinochle game I’ve ever played anywhere has required a team to get 20 pointers in order to score, whether you win the bid or not. This is an addition to the requirement to have 20 meld. This is not an option in this app. Without it, it’s nearly impossible to come back when you’re behind. Not to mention, this is a staple rule in Pinochle. Please add a button to require 20 pointers in order to score.

Why
Could have let the bar on top just had to add extra step
Better than nothing
The user interface is very good but the cards do not seem to be randomly dealt.
