If you love getting 9s and Js every hand this game is for you. In a double deck game you can get 5-8 (out of 16) on many many hands. I can easily go 2-3 games without ever getting a hand to bid on.

Obviously these creators havent played pinochle at their senior center. Also they have little concept of the odds of getting such hands as double pinochle, or a double run. Tell me how you can randomize the players skill level and not just program them to make stupid mistakes. This game is not fun and they even have it rigged so its hard to give them one star. Bid or bunch my a**. I want my money back.
I dont think the developers know how to play pinochle. Why would my partner pass me nothing but nines when it has Trump cards and aces galore? They need to improve on that and slow the game down.
This game worked okay before the iOS update. Glitches when the cards are being played not leaving the table. Now the game is slow, and the cards never leave the table. Please fix this!
There is no opportunity to see your results from a hand. The totals should come up for an OK. Also the score area is VERY HARD TO READ!!! Also frustrating when partner sends back one or two trump nines and keeps kings and queens of non trump suite.
On the demo version, you could change characters. It didnt work when I first got the paid version. . The developers quickly fixed the problem! I would have contacted them directly if I had seen that in my iPad. Only saw it on the phone today. Super pleased with the service! Fun game! AI play more realistically than the other apps - we got so frustrated we tossed them!
Great game until last update. Now scoring doesnt work correctly and achievements cant be reset. Too bad. I loved it. Nothing worse than getting a double marriage and having it only give you 9 points and then going set!
Great game! Very fun to play with characters that have some personality vs. just a computer and a bunch of cards. My kids love it too. What a great way for them to learn to play pinochle.
Very fun game. The personalities of the players make this a unique and engaging pinochle game. I play in a card club and it is funny to see the similarities between these digital players and my club members.
I love playing this game, and my kids think the characters are great!
The dealing is stacked. The opposing team gets a run,aces or double pinochle almost every hand,and quite often at least two of these at once. It just doesnt happen in a real game. The game would be great with more realistic dealing.
Game is fun. However, when my partner names clubs or hearts trump, he keeps his pinochle instead of passing it. Also, he leads with counters knowing they will be lost. A non counter would be smarter in most cases.
Seems to me the game is biased against human player. The many many times Ive played it, the characters get much better hands. I am not able to bid very often because my hands are so awful! Is this by design, I wonder?
Need a better way to keep track of trump. If you miss or forget it, cant find out.
I love this game. Very true to how my family and I play. I love the characters and the gameplay. Couple suggestions to make it a 5 star app: have a leader board and add and tracking of overall record. Also it would be great if after each hand, the game told you what the ending score was. To those who mention that there is no reminder of the trump suit, you will notice that the cards in trump have a blue outline.
Great pinochle game! My only complaint is if you dont see trump called then you dont know what it is until after you pass cards! Also would like it better if my partner did a better job bidding.... Shouldnt keep bidding against me after other team has passed. Also it would be nice to have the option to play with real people!
Other team gets double aces with run almost every time compared to us only some of the time. Besides that love the game. Really like the players talking.
I really enjoy this game. Im glad I paid the extra for the updated version!
Really enjoy the game! A little more conservative bidding...the animated players get set to often!
This game is awful , it passes the nine of spades when you call diamonds. Need to fix it!
