Pinochle App Reviews

The icons have shrunk way too much in iOS 5. I hope this can be fixed. Otherwise, its a fun, well programmed game.

Good game, challenging, lots of options; on occasion the partner will make a dumb move but generally speaking its a good app and fun.

I enjoy this game most of the time but you sure have the players set to make some dumb moves. Anyone who knows how to play would not throw away a double pinochle or send your partner 2 jacks of different suits for no good reason.

Ive played this game a lot and used to like it but Im tired of my partner trying to outbid me and the other team getting irrationally amazing hands. How often can one team get double pinochle plus know their partner will pass it to them? And I can have a beautiful run but the other team outbids me and has a run plus aces. I never see this happen in real life as often as it does in this game. Im done with this app.

Game is kind of fun but is sure gets old when the computer is getting all the good cards and I, the live player, gets trash! Double runs at least 2-3x a game. Look for a better app!!

Ok game if you dont know how to play. Terrible game if you have any knowledge at all. Completely frustrating when you have to play against the computer that makes no rational pinochle plays. You dont bid on double pinochle when you have nothing else in your hand. You rarely get dealt anything worthwhile to bid with. Way too many double pinochle show up. The programmer needs to be more realistic. I love playing pinochle but can usually only play 5 minutes before I want to throw my phone because of how frustrating the game play is.

I used to play this game all of the time, now my partner is terrible. They dont pass how anybody would pass in normal games. It seems they are only concerned with their own meld. So, until an update. I am not playing anymore, as it is no longer fun. Example I needed 1 card for a double run and my partner, who had a run in trump, did not pass any trump, rather junk. Really?! Fix it!

All the hands are repeats. Very boring now. Plus partner is rather stupid. Nice game but needs fix!

Double handed play is not so good as your partner cares more about his hand than yours when passing cards.

Our friends were trying to teach us to play pinochle, and I was having a hard time understanding the rules. I downloaded this game, and it really helped me "get" it. Thank you! I sometimes wish my partner would be more aggressive (even though theyre maxed out). I love the Bid or Bunch option, which our friends use.

Unbelievable how frustrating the partner is. You show aces, your partner has 3 in one suit, and leads with a different suit??? You play an ace on his ace, and he doesnt come back to you??? Explain this... East starts bidding with a 59, and everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, passes. East lays down a lone marriage in trump, and West a run with him that is a 10 short of a double run??? Unbelievable how often East and West hit into each others hands...

I would buy this App if N/S got a fair percentage of winnable hands, including meld. Its very frustrating, and demoralizing, to lose most of the time. That needs to be fixed. Other than that, its a good App.

Impossible meld for opponent going to delete

Bidding and passing is ludicrous if this is supposed to be a PARTNER game. My partner never bids and just passes all the time. Partner keeps aces of TRUMP instead of passing to winning bidder. Never will take the bid and I could be such a great helper! Horrible version of partner pinochle. Uninstalling now. Too frustrating of an experience. Why wont the developers fix the game?

....but its a lot more fun when the odds arent stacked against you. The opponent on a regular basis is dealt much better hand to bid on. When I finally get a good hand to bid on the opponent bids so high you cant compete and the the opponent goes set❓❓❓

This game had been a source of pleasure in the past, but it is so frustrating now that I am going to delete it and find another game. My partner always looks out for his own meld. Instead of getting 150 points by passing an Ace, he keeps it so he can have 10 points in aces. Ridiculous. If he has a run, he keeps ALL the meld, rather than pass to help his partner, who took the bid. Or he will have a great hand and pass. Its no longer fun. Bye.

The bid aggressiveness doesnt seem to change, not realistic bidding by either partner or other "team", so it ends up being a crapshoot. And the 5 card pass is unheard of in real pinochle, the fix needs to be on realistic bids.

What a joke! The creators have apparently never played pinochle. Dont waste your time. The partner is an idiot.

This app needs some serious up dating. If you dont take a trick with a point in it you dont score any points. This is app is giving one or two points when they dont get a trick. That is not how pinochle is played in the real world.

The ads cover the top part of the screen where North is at. I report it and by the next hand the ads are back. Done unless you fix this
