Pinochle App Reviews

This game is good for beginners but extremely frustrating for players with some ability!

Why did you make your setting panel worse?

I loved this game. Although I like many of the options the newest version added, it now locks up on me after the bidding process. When the opposing player wins the bid, after showing the meld, the game freezes and the bidder does not play a card. Ive tried to restart a few times, but that hasnt helped. I hope this is a simple fix and I can get back to playing this great game.

Not sure why the format change, but not good. Cards & icons not as good as before, settings menu terrible- its like its not even from the same game. Basically unnecessary changes & not for the better.

Unfortunately I updated this game, and now the new card faces are very irritating to my eyes and too large. Please revert back to the old settings. Even the new setting page is cumbersome! The new card interfaces are almost identical. Again, bring back old interfaces!

Unless you like loosing. Your options seem to get dealt better cards or they run up the bidding until someone concedes and loose points. The revised version didnt improve anything. Bidding options still hop from opening bid of 25 to 40, where are option 30 and 35?

If computer has 30 Pinochle delt to him and calls hearts or club why does he pass 3 legged away?

I have been playing this game about 1 yr now. Its okay. I have noticed strange choices on the part of computer players in bidding, passing, and playing that no one would do if playing a real game of Pinochle. Also, the number of times opponent has Dbl Ace, 10 and Dbl Pinochle is far above any normal average. Now with most recent update 9/25/16, the game has gone from bad to worse; smaller cards, truly bizarre bidding, poor settings for computer players, game options, and constant conceding request. Could someone in development please learn how to play the game correctly!

I have been playing almost my whole life and that is a while. What I dont understand is when your partner say has aces and when you name trump he doesnt give you the ace of trump. I have had this happen several times when I needed the ace for a run and I dont get it. Now a run is worth 15 and the Aces are worth 10. Now for me I rather have the run.

Every new version resets all the settings!! Please stop! Have some type of import function each version, not just reset. This is ridiculous.

Do not see an option to require securing 20 points in tricks to secure the meld!!! Old version was better.

This version is terrible. The North player appears to no longer be looking at the possibilities of the Souths making points. I had a hand with a run plus two kings and two Jacks. I was able to see all cards. North had all the cards to give me a double run worth 250 points. Instead it held the queen to preserve the queen jack of diamonds in his own hand.

This new update has greatly decreased the quality of the app in my opinion. It keeps on restoring the game to standard settings, rather than the settings that I keep on setting up. I also dont like how the cards in the beginning of the hand are all separated in two levels. I would much prefer for them to be layered together on one level. Having them separated so much makes it difficult at times to see if I have a hand worth bidding on. Please fix these issues!!

Newest version seems a lot slower. Ads take up more of the page. Was better before the last update Like this app a lot but agree with several others, there are way too many double pinochles and the opposing team overbids many times. I do wish that could be fixed. But for the price (free) its a lot of fun. Thank you

It makes no sense on the amount of double and triple pinochle in each hand. Even double runs are almost back to back hands with the same trump. The bidding part of the game is stupid. And not just alittle. How ever made these changes in this game needs to learn how to play the game. I am at the point of taking this game off and never see or use it again. You need to fix this game if you want gamers to keep using it. Dragonsword1964

The latest update basically makes the game unusable.

Game is very frustrating to play with computer players (in particular your computer partner). The computer partner often bids too high without cards in hand to support bid, doesnt bid with cards in hand that support bid, doesnt pass appropriate cards to partner, breaks up own meld during card pass when a meld bid was made, etc. I would have fired any other partner for these offenses. Can you fix this???? ALSO! WHEN PARTNER ACCEPTS COMPUTERs MELD BID, THE COMPUTER BREAKS UP MELD WHEN PASSING CARDS TO PARTNER? MAKES ME CRAZY! AS I WAS DEPENDING ON THAT MELD TO MAKE MY BID!!!!!!!!!!!!

The new update is noteworthy, however, the system wanted to concede the game to the east/west team, I rejected it and north and south out scored east west and should have won the game but the system gave the game to east west. Does that concede flag mean the north/west cant win that game?

The opposing team gets 10X the amount of meld 60% of the time. 200 meld by the other team is common.

Love the game! Great options, however your partners trump symbol is over his led card! Why would you design it like this?! Horrible...
