Improvement Request

IPhone 6. Can not see my partners cards if he has named trump.

Problem!!

There seems to be a bug in the app that causes the score to go back to zero every time I stop playing for more than an hour. Please fix because I love this app! Thanks

Not too bad overall

That game is nice. It works well. However, with the most recent update, every time I quit the app, it erases me statistics and starts me in the middle of a game. Other than this, it is great. I play it all the time. The opponents are pretty predictable but that is what you get with a free app. I spend way too many hours using it.

Worked great but now not.

All of a sudden it is not working very well. Every time the app closes it restarts the same game over again. The same game and hands all over again from when I started playing. I could play for an hour and it will reset the stats where they were when I started an hour before and all the same hands dealt. I emailed them and have not heard back. I tried resetting stats and still goes back to where it was. I deleted the app and it restarted now when I play it it restarts at 0 games played and the same hands as when I reinstalled the app. Please fix it.

Current version

Every time the app is restarted or returned to the score changes to EW 79 and NS 148, with the player (S) having the same cards also. Never had this issue with the past versions.

Mr.

When my partner has the bid, the trump icon covers the card he is playing. I cant tell the number of the card and sometimes even the suit. It worked great before. Why change something that isnt broken?

Ugh!

Inaccurate meld bidding every time. Partner bid to 115 with only 30 meld and no partner meld bid. East/West double runs frequently. Partner holds trump instead of passing.

Disappointed with latest release

New release keeps repeating the same hands over and over.. Please fix it

Recently Disappointed

I used to like this game. East West is getting double runs in what seems like 60% of the time. On top of that East West gets double and triple pinochles very frequently. I have taken bids and they have had more meld than me. It seems like there is a East West card swap when I take bids. AI in North seems to be set to idiot mode compared to East West. Time to move on. 11/22/15 Things have not gotten better.i gave you a second chance, but no more. Its clear you try to compensate for sub par AI by giving them better cards. Just played two rounds of double deck. On every bid I took computer had 60 to 90 meld with no card swap. On every bid they took they had Double runs for 150. Goodbye.

Get better

I like playing, but it is so frustrating that the ai is stupid. Things like breaking up a 100 aces when passing cards, or passing on a bid when you have a book. This seems like some basic intelligence that should be built in. Also not everyone plays double pinochle is worth more than 80, how about adding that as a setting. As well as having a bidder out option.

7/10

My partner rarely bids. Hell pass on a book although he has aces. Hell also keep feeding points even when someone is obviously cutting!!

KO

Triple pinochle in settings not giving an option,please fix or I delete your app

Smarter partner?

I love playing pinochle but I get very frustrated with my stupid partner. My partner just took the bid and broke up a pinochle by sending the queen of spades back to me. My partner makes these poor decisions way too often to make this game enjoyable.

Go back to previous version

STILL cant get a decent hand any more. And why do I have to change the settings every time I open the app?

Review function and meld bidding

Review function is crap - after I typed my review and gave star rating I received a response that my nickname was in use and everything was deleted. Wonder if it would still work like that if I gave a good rating... Meld bidding is useless except for opponents. Partner meld bids with no (0) meld and no contributing cards. Partner passes when I meld bid.

Unrealistic

The opposition gets runs very frequently but you side might see a run like once in ten plus hands. In real life it is common for no one to get runs 20+ hands. Many times your partner will bid with little to no meld and NO aces. The programmers need to use a random generators rather then program the opposition to get good cards as frequently as happens. Have played hands where opposition scores 40+ points back to back. This software needs lots of work to achieve real life play.

Pinochle

Stupid game not realistic because a partner will not bid even if he has a rope, after I gave a weak open bid, and when one wants to write a review it is just as frustrating because it kicks me out every time. North and south rarely get good cards to fill and east-west get cards so they can play well. The north had a jack of diamonds and did not send it to me, we could have had double pinochle..not at all like real play.

Not A Chance

East-West seems to always get a ton of meld, especially at the end of the game. Not realistic at all, you are always fighting an uphill battle with an idiot partner.

Ridiculous

My old review was deleted. Hmmm. Wonder why, because its true? Completely unfair hands and games. Opponents get 10+ aces 80% of hands and I hardly ever get a bidding hand. I play without passing cards and its hopeless. Sadly though, this is the best pinochle app out there. Please fix it. Hands are unfair- not random at all. Partner is not intelligent. Sad to say I will delete if doesnt improve....

Rigged games are not fun

Yet another card game where the deal is rigged. Cards should be dealt randomly. Randomly. Otherwise the game is frustrating and decidedly unlike real-life playing. Players quickly begin to play against the rigged algorithm for the deal, not playing pinochle. This game is nothing like real pinochle.
