### 1/5 — Frustrating…

*2025-08-06*

The A1 players don’t understand the lowest card concept. If playing partners they will give the lowest card in their hand first, if the 2 isn’t out, they will have other cards to play. Or ex, they will have a queen and 2, they’ll come back with the 2 (low) and lose it. They’ll give low before a ten. The commuter players don’t really understand the high, low, jack and game entirely. Very annoying.
Again…whoever created the guidelines should know how to play the game. My partner had a 4,7 and queen…I played a king..opposing team put on an ace…partner played the 4 which was low. So annoying!

### 1/5 — Going downhill fast

*2025-03-04*

The game was pretty good for awhile but went downhill fast. In the beginning the cards were fairly well distributed. Now it is very rare for me to get an ace while the other three opponents get aces on a regular basis. When I get stuck with the bid I will usually get like an 8 high and opponents who did not bid will be loaded with aces,kings etc. good luck!   The idea of the game is to bid when you have the cards to do so. Some people even play in a way that the only points you get are the ones you bid.

### 1/5 — Bob

*2023-12-21*

When you’re the dealer & dealt 3-9 & your opponents are holding aces, kings, queens & jacks & fail to bid & sit on you, I call this sit on the dealer not pitch!

### 1/5 — Cheats

*2023-09-16*

This game is hopelessly skewed for the computer to win.  The deck is not reshuffled enough so the same trumps keep recurring.  Too bad because it could be a good game.

### 1/5 — Cards not random

*2023-08-08*

There is no way the cards are randomly drawn.

### 5/5 — Pitch

*2023-05-12*

Great game…enjoy it very much.
Only issue is that I frequently lose the sound. Restarting my iPhone usually fixes it, but didn’t the most recent time.
Suggestions?

### 2/5 — Algorithm

*2023-05-07*

Very predictable algorithm… opponent’s continuously catch ace and king on their bids
Making it difficult to score points 
Also opponents seem to have multiple trump on many hands. Again making it difficult to win hands. 
I have played it for about two weeks now hoping that this might change… however it seems to remain. It has basically made the app unplayable..
Hey I’m not a Hard looser but it appears that the app is fixed to protect the “home team “
 
Have a good day

### 2/5 — Skewed to favor the team for the computer.

*2023-02-13, version 1.02*

The game seems to always give the computer the edge when they are forced to bid.  Also the cards don’t seem sufficiently shuffled because the trump repeats to frequently.
