Poor play

The person who programmed this game is probably a good programmer. I know nothing about programming. I do know something about pinochle, I have played a lot. The good programmer is a lousy pinochle player. The partner in this game is very poor at bidding and makes some terrible plays, like always playing the highest card when they are the last play and then losing a later trick because of it for example, especially in trump. The game is entertaining, but often frustrating because of the poor play of the โ€œpartnerโ€.

Where did my no-ad game go?

I paid for it but now it has ads๐Ÿฅฒ

Overview of this program

I enjoy playing Pinochle. However the fault with this program of the game is that it will not allow my opponents or my teammate bid the wonderful Run hand if they donโ€™t have a certain about of Aces in their hands.

Best Pinochle game

Best pinochle game I have found! The deals are pretty random. The deals donโ€™t seem to be repetitive like other pinochle games. At the end of each hand you can look at the original dealt hands to see how the opposing players got that double pinochle or 1500 meld. Deals seem pretty fair and even!

BEWARE ADS

I downloaded this game and was immediately blocked from starting the game with an ad stating that my phone had an error in a loud voice. I immediately deleted it!

Freezes

Love game but frequent freezing is problematic

Worth $0

If your a decent player not a good version

Pinochle

Great app

Allows fake virus scam ads

I used to love this app and played it all the time but then it started serving up fake virus scam ads so I have had to delete the app. I got the scam ads several times.

Game

Love game, hate how partner passes cards. Keeps trump to save meld, doesn't pass correctly. Partner bids needing a lot, but passes with a full. Partner doesnโ€™t smear when should

Ridiculous

The opposite auto team is constantly getting 30-40 in meldโ€ฆ runs, aces around, the works. It always deals me one card short of a blockbuster hand.

Only had a run once, aces around only once. Off a run by one card dozens of times, same with aces around. Utterly ridiculous.

I can lose fine, but not in ridiculously lopsided fashion in the way the app is creating the hands dealt.

Really Great Game, I Play All The Time

I really do enjoy this version of Pinochle. Not many people know how to play it and Iโ€™m not often around my relatives who do. This is a great substitute. I like the customization (like a priority on sending for Pinochle when S/D are chosen, changing cards/faces, trump color, game modes, score mods), the animation, and the overall presentation. However, my computer partner drives me crazy with the bidding (sometimes theyโ€™ll pass with a good hand), and my opponents seem to get Double Pinochle quite frequently (this is rare in realtime gameplay). Other than that, I highly recommend this game!

Ridiculous

I like playing Pinochle and this is probably the best app for it. But it is a little ridiculous with some of the hands that the two computer players get itโ€™s not uncommon for them to score over 50 points in a hand so the dealing is kind of ridiculous.

Signals

When playing an ace on partners ace partner does not return the suit. This happens 20 percent of the time. I have complained about this several times

Disgusting adds

I am sick of seeing all the half naked people displayed along the top of the screen.

Inappropriate ads

Just trying to play the game when pornographic images appear. Completely inappropriate.

Ad Banner Problems

Iโ€™ve had this game for years. No problems at the beginning but ever since the ad banner has been added to the top it has gotten worse. The ads are in the way of the scoring and partner cards, and not always appropriate. There is no option to contact the game designer or remove the ads. Itโ€™s a bummer. Hoping it gets fixed soon.

Pinochle

If you like pinochle then this is the game for you.

Basic Game Rule!

Would love to give this five stars, but the settings of the game are missing the most basic rule of pinochle - a team must get 20 pointers to score. The fact that this is not an option makes it impossible to come back from behind and teams get points when they should not. Also frustrated with the imbalanced deal by the AI - frequently, the AI opponent is stacked with meld.

Excellent game!

By far the best pinochle game to play alone against three comparable opponents without the drama and attitudes of playing online.
