It’s OK
This game is ok. The ads spoil it. You not only have to watch an ad between every hand, but the stupid thing sits there frozen before the ad even comes on. What a waste of time! You play 1 minute for every 2 minutes of wasted time. They say you can pay for no ads, but reviewers say they paid and still get ads, so why would you?!
Why does my idiot partner pass me multiple nines when I win the bid?! Could he be any less helpful?! It feels like he’s trying to sabotage me!

Best pinochle game!
I love it
No pay
Don’t pay for no ads, I paid twice now and just got told I never paid.
Absolutely despise the characters but more so the commercials
Commercials are a waste. I get that you have to have them but GOD
Observations
1. Dealing—seems to be discriminatory. Programming will favor a team. Programming needs to be as random as live play with human players and real cards.
2. The computer players are unable to bid sensibly. They will bid themselves into default because the program tells them it should be their hand regardless of not being able to make the bid or going set.

Passing cards
I like passing four cards, not three. That’s my only complaint.
Update ruined this for me
I loved playing this version until the latest update. Now it only allows me to play one hand at a time not the full game. Tried deleting and reinstalling but it happened again and again. Have now deleted it permanently.
What is trump
It is noted that when we take the bid, trump is indicated. When the opponents take the bid you have to be watching for their call and otherwise I do not see it indicated, you need to watch the play to figure it out. Would be nice for both and in color would be nice.
Thank you ……
Thank you ……
Was great
Well, several of us have been playing this game for years and it was awesome but for some reason they changed several things in the last update and now it is a hot mess.
Realistic pinochle game play
I play the ad-free version. I’ve been playing the game with few glitches and no crashes. Both partner and opponent play seems to make “pinochle sense”, with no one making blatantly stupid plays (like throwing a second ace to give your partner a counter early in the hand). I’m curious about the Achievements, though: I’ve blown past 100 games, but somehow haven’t earned that badge yet. I think player Shirley got broken in the recent (2024) upgrade, though. She now says after every deal “that’s because you’re sitting in my lucky chair.” She only ever used to say that when someone else got a really good hand.

Bug
When the bidder has no meld, the game freezes, and he cannot lead out his first trick. Please fix. Really like game, especially the one bid option. Meld bids would also be great.
Serious Flaw
This version of Pinochle has some serious flaws! Many times I had POWERHOUSE HANDS whereby I took EVERY book in the hand. Yet, your messenger comes on and says “I can’t make it”. If I turned every book in the hand, that should WIN me the entire game, but your game crafter won’t allow it!
Read Hoyle!
If you don’t know how to play the game, you shouldn’t penalize people who do know how to play the game.

Flaws and Imissions
There is no provision or reward for “turning every trick” ,”running the board” as it is! that’s a real flaw in this game. In real Pinochle, you look for those opportunities when you can take every book and you get a reward for doing so: that is winning the entire game.
Also, players should be allowed to play their hand. If they have a good hand without appropriate meld, they should be allowed to play their hand to keep their opponents from making points and progressing. There’s no provision for that in this game.

Response from developer
Thanks Darkcity! Im happy you are enjoying the game. Thanks for the suggestions I have added both of them to my feature request board. You can view it here: https://pinochle-pro.canny.io/feature-requests-bug-reports. Please feel free to add additional requests there or drop me an email at travis@blackpanthersoftware.com I think these ideas are great! Ill work on getting these implemented after a pretty significant set of changes I am working on. Stay tuned.
Not random deals
I play a lot of pinochle, and double pinochles DO NOT come up as often as this game deals them! The deals must be rigged for high meld hands.
Great game!
Ok yup, I'm addicted 👍🏻
Facebook Support Really?
We used to love this app but after upgrading our phones, the app was restored with ads. Only message is to sign into our iTunes account that has no effect at all. Product support sends you to Facebook that we don’t use and don’t wish to. Apparently only Facebooker’s can have support.
Cheaters
How can an opponent bid 36, make 35, and still win? This has happened so many times. And your partner bidding against you and when you pass your partner passes. Also has happened so many times.
I’ve deleted the app twice before and I’m done this time. I like the way this game plays, but I don’t like AI that cheats!

Mostly bad
Over and over again my partner bids while having 2 or 3 meld and 4 cards of a suit to make trump, duh. Hand after hand, I get no aces or just one ace.
Game Malfunction
I bought this game about a week ago. Suddenly the game started quitting in the middle. Now it quits right after the bidding is finished . The players and the cards just disappear.
Obscene adds
The game is fine but the obscene adds are completely inappropriate. Deleing this app. Do not let your kids download this!!!!
