This game is not without its flaws, but very entertaining nonetheless if you like double deck. You have the ability to set how the computer plays and tweak to your liking. I did mention flaws and here are a few: none of the computer players bid 51 for aces, they overbid meld, for example bidding 20 meld with 10 and sometimes not bidding meld at all, the computer players always lead with aces in trump (I wish there was a way to turn that off), they will play trump even when the only person has them left is their partner, and I could go on. But playing this for years now, it does keep improving with each update. The one concern I would have is this a really fun app for experienced players, since they can understand the the flaws and work around them, but this not how tournament players play in RL.

I’m a pinochle instructor and have searched all the games out there and this is the best. I wish the developers would offer a way to redo the precious game.. I like to test out different play approaches.

I have played pinochle for more years than I care to remember. This game is terrible. Either you make 40-50 points or you go set. Not much n between. Also goes in streaks for winning. One team will win several hands and games. Then the other team will do the same. No challenge when on a hot streak and "can't buy" meld when you are losing. AGGRAVATING!

I have had to delete and reinstall the app because it will randomly freeze during play. It does have a good interface but not the best compared to others.

The robo partner consistently passes cards that no true player would pass...the robo partner consistently holds the queen of spades and sends over the jack of diamonds, splitting up the pinochle...the robo partner consistently passes with bidable and winnable hands...it makes no sense why they have their game set up to pass and play the way they do. ?

I configured it to play 90% similar to the way we play in Philadelphia. Love the app, highly recommend it.
