I wish

I wish this program gave higher priority to pinochle. The opponents always get double pinochles and my partner often neglects to send me a leg, sending aces instead. Also my partner will frequently have a cold family and not bid. My partner bids less than any of the other hands. I don’t get it.
Not very random

Just played 5 games in a row where partner had zero meld 2 of which I also had no meld while “other team” was dealt double pinochle 3 times. Unfortunately this is more the norm than not. Game becomes very frustrating when other team consistently has considerably better hands. I thought hands were computer generated now I wonder, but it is free and paid version not much better
The partner is the worst!

Now that the phone version of the game came out where you could see everyone’s cards, I finally found out how bad the partner is a t bidding on their hand and passing you cards. Just deleted the app because I got so mad! Good luck to all that download this game.

I like playing this game how ever I don’t like the fact it removes points for supposedly taking all the trick when I don’t it’s stopped me from getting higher on the high score list farther up today alone it hit me 6 times. And then when I did take all the tricks it didn’t deduct the points
App needs up dating

This app needs some serious up dating. If you don't take a trick with a point in it you don't score any points. This is app is giving one or two points when they don't get a trick. That is not how pinochle is played in the real world.
Partner passing is pathetic!

Just now I won the bid and my “partner” passed me a couple trumps and two 9’s. They could have passed me for kings around and I would have had enuf meld to make the bid. Word to the wise on this game — your computer partner will pass you trump and aces, but if they don’t have 4 cards to pass, they will pass stupid stuff to fill in what they do have. So the game programmers obviously don’t know enuf about the game to have your partner pass you smart cards. Also, really with the capitalizing “trump” every time I write it? Blech.
Worst game

Person playing hardly ever gets a good hand. I Fix this game. Give the person playing a chance to get a good hand! Worst partner. Doesn’t even deserve one star. Spoils playing the game for you.
Frustrating

I play this only to sharpen my skills of playing with an idiot for a partner. Two cards short of a double rope and she passes. A rope, she passes. In my family we have names our partner after the worst ever player in our family. Happens to be a girl, me too. So no offense to the fairer sex. Please fix this idiot's skill level.
Terrible partner with choices on bids and plays.

The person who wrote the program is responsible for the stupid, ignorant, idiotic plays coming from the north jerk. N will pass holding a nice run, always saves a point card to give to E W on the last play when E W always saves a trump card for the extra point. When S picks trump, idiot N always holds the 10 when passing cards in deference to the J or Q. It really angers me when it means no run and a poor hand. N ALWAYS BIDS INTO THE 30’s when holding 3 aces even with the rest of the hand garbage! If N is dealt 3 out of 4 pinochle, get ready for a high mid 30 or higher bid. I see all this because I show all cards. N will always pass a double J or Q with the 3 card pass to S instead of Aces, when S takes the bid, more often than not ruining more possible points. I am bidding toward a strong hand and the double pass, especially J’s is worthless and shows that the programmer doesn’t understand the game enough. Please fix these stated problems. I’ve sworn off this game over 100 times because of them but keep coming back one more time.
