Pinochle Gold
M-a-j
Really bad. Obviously creator doesn't know pinochle unless he deliberately created a partner robot who is very dumb. Partner meld bids with nothing drops out after I pass but bids me up to the sky. Overbids and loses. The meld bidding is useless. I meld bid and partner passes consistently. Passing cards partner robot holds 20 point meld cards in trump losing a 160 double run in my hand extremely rarely passes a jack of trump. Very aggravating. Wouldn't play at all but laptop unavailable to play with humans in yahoo. Partner will hold jD qS for 4 points meld when D's or Spades called trump. Just really stupid playing. Trump called Pass trump!! Amen!! Still the same. Partner holds 4 pts jD qS I have 12 trump need Q for dbl run. Partner doesn't pass the queen to save 4 points Hand lost w/o playing a card. Creator if this game is very stupid. Doesn't know pinochle from Old Maid. Sorry I've wasted so much time with this game. Obviously creators can't fix meld bid problem or card passing mess either. Worst possible partner. Holds 15 pt run in trump avoiding possibility of 150 pt dbl run. Lose hand after hand for lack of partnership skills in meld bidding and card passing. That I win single handedly quite often is a miracle. I'm done. 12/27/2013 And the worst partner in the history of pinochle after many "improvements" still holds and then loses aces and still does not pass trump. Also and again partner knows NOTHING about meld bid Meld bids 20 has very consistently 6 or 8 pts and no playing hand Jump from 52 to 54 means 20 meld. No pinochle player EVER meld bids 10 pts ever. Except as 51 opener for aces which is not available in this game. Finally dumped this game. Creators don't know how to play. Got tired of watching robot partner play like a moron playing jacks on my tricks holding aces and playing points on opponents tricks. Loses at least 2 aces per hand. Can't understand why game programmed for opposition to know to play trump 10s when all aces out, to play points in partners tricks and to play aces but the robot partner if live player doesn't know this? And meld bid? Creators have NO CLUE! Bye. Thanks for all the aggravation. Supposed to be fun. NOT!!! Next "bug fixes"" After aces of trump have been played my robot partner ALWAYS loses 10 of trump by NOT playing it. Like the lone aces he always loses. And game is set to have partner play from the bottom on my tricks saving point cards for the opposition. You guy really have never played or have a crappy program. My $ is on ignorance. Newest improvement!! Not. Table bidding numbers barely visible. Every time I try to play a game or go back to game in progress I have to reset all settings and start over how ridiculous

It is a bit difficult to write this review. On the one hand the app works well, responds well, is a good instructor of the game and has shown me every possible way to lose. But on the other hand, the app is extremely biased to the program. If I manage to win the bid then I will lose the hand by 2 or 3 points. If I allow the program to win the bid it will have a double run, 1 or 2 sets, throw in a couple pinochles and walk away with 200+ points. It is fairest when I play single deck 4 card widow.
Good game but...

The biggest problem with this game is that your partner doesn't play very well. It will bid 35 plus and have 4 meld, so expect to lose a lot.
Version 5.0 Terrible

Card faces are distorted, text spills over text---a complete mess.
I like it

I've gotten used to the any idiosyncrasies of this app and have generally grown to like it. But there's a new bug with the most recent upgrade. The bid or bunch button now is being interpreted as a pass and one of the other players ends up getting the bid for 25 without giving me an opportunity to bid.
Bid or bunch fail

The new update is complete crap. I guess the makers forgot what 'bid or bunch' means. Now it's just another way of saying pass and as long as no one else bids there's a redeal. If I or my partner 'bid or bunch'es, the Opponent gets it for cheap if they want. You actually don't get a chance to bid if they bid when u 'bid or bunch'ed first. Come on, it was working great, but now it's a big fat FAIL!!! ?????????????????????????????????????
Gold Pinochle

Like the game, wish there could be chatting. Like Good Game; Good Luck; Oops; Good Playing; Should have played that hand differently; Bad Move
Just Not There

When I set my partner's betting ability to "insane", I expect exactly that. I don't expect a betting wimp for a partner that can't believe in what it started, so you need to make some seriously significant algorithm changes. You know it. AAARRGH!!
Near Impossible to Win

You upgraded not only the level of the opponent's play...but also the hands. Runs are way too common. Aces around, aces with runs, double pinochle...I've never seen so much meld!
