There’s GOOD & There’s BAD

This is a decently rounded game/app. For the most part, the computers are able to run their hand and do what a normal human would do as a teammate. But there are times where the computer on both sides full on brainfart and can’t make proper decisions. EXAMPLE:

My most recent hand, I was a card from my run and 100 aces, my teammate overbid me twice, so I let it go. The computer teammate and computer opponent bid each other up to 45. Neither would’ve made it, they both had only 4 cards in what they’d call as Trump, neither had 2 legs, both had only 2 aces, literally neither of them had a hand worth bidding beyond 35, let alone 45!!!! And neither had a good enough hand to overbid their partner twice. Overbidding a partner is the closest thing to table talk and telling your teammate “yeah I got something”. And this has happened a fair amount of times but not constantly. I’d truly say 85% of the games/hands I play are pretty accurate and on point. It’s the other 15% that grinds my gears. And it’s the main reason I tend to always overbid my computer teammate. There are other times they’ll overbid me and I’ll pass and they’ll pass a bid or two later.

Non auction

Wish the bids were single but great game in other ways

Where did my no-ad game go?

I paid for it, but now it has ads!
🥲

Fix the logic

I genuinely really enjoy this game. It is great, you can customize your rules, you can redo bad plays to learn and can look at others cards to understand their logic. What I can’t get over and the reason I write a 4 star review is that the logic from your partner makes no sense sometimes. There is the occasional bidding war you will get into with them where they keep raising you but then recently in a game I played I passed them an ace of spades that would have given them Aces around. Tell me why they passed it back to me to keep kings around when they could have sent me the king that would have given me a marriage and given them aces around plus an additional automatic winner!

2 games without a winning hand.

Played 2 games and hand after hand, nothing I can bid with. Garbage

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 “partner”.

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 don’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 don’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 doesn’t smear when should

Ridiculous

The opposite auto team is constantly getting 30-40 in meld… 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 I’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 they’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 it’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.
