Waste of money and Time

Crash2301

NEVER buy or play any type of game fishdog.net LLC makes. They don’t listen to their requests or complaints. This game is worthless, you will have more fun or have a challenge playing solitaire not fishdog anything.


Flawed strategy

Whipswr 5

This is a really good card game except for ONE MAJOR FLAW in strategy. When spades or diamonds are name Trump, you always pass both queens of spades or both jacks of diamonds. Several times I have missed getting a double pinochle because an ace of another suit was passed instead of a queen or jack. Please correct this strategy


Bidding is weak and your partner never gets a come back play

Tkvaliant

Very poor on handling bid communication like sending aces or passing meld. And on several occasions my computer wouldn’t stop out bidding me even though it never passed me any meld. And forget any “come back” plays for it has no concept what an ace or jack come back is. But the opposing team seems to have it figured out.


Are you f—-Ing serious with this partner

Scott4349

I cannot believe that your computer partner cannot play pinochle with any skill level. Yet, your computer components seem to be masters!?? I have thrown my phone across the room with this game. Come on guys make it fair and give the computer partner some skills. Please!!


Haven’t played it yet

I just wanted to ask if anyone is aware of a better pinochle app or even website? I’m gonna give this app a shot naturally. It’s updating now. That fact alone means the developers care? Right? I welcome all feedback and opinions. Lastly, has anyone contacted the developers themselves? I try to be solution based rather than simply vent it out. I don’t always succeed. Been playing pinochle since 3rd grade with my grandparents in jersey. Me and my partner will take on anybody. And by take on, what I really mean is...take down ???‍♂️??‍♂️? so bring your A game and don’t sit down at the card table if you ain’t serious about it. Cuz we have no problem taking every hand, or setting you every time we let u have a bid. We also have no problem with winning every game and doing so in blowout fashion with the most lopsided scores ever recorded-in me and my partners favor naturally. I’m Dave. He’s Eric. Be advised. ?


Constant popover ads

TUmobile Team

The app, itself is good, with lots of variations and “house rule” options. The most recent update introduced annoying popover ads, though, that will fly in multiple times in a particular hand, so I removed the app, for now. I’ll try installing it, again, in the future, to see if the ads are better, but i generally witness these changes heading one direction: for the worse.


Ads “taking control” 3 to 5 times during game?...really???

sparksongs

Great game until latest update. Now video ads totally take over the entire screen 3, 4, 5 or more times during a game. I certainly don’t mind the ads and have clicked on a few here and there. But taking over multiple times during a game?....time for me to move on.


Pop ups are ruining this app

Rebnumerounofan

I’ve used this app for years and enjoyed it but deleted it because pop up ads were interrupting the game, during the game, about every minute. Takes the fun out of it!


I’m not sure

J34nna

I’m not sure if the creators play the game with real cards or not. Watching my wife and son learn the game, they play so that they can see all players cards to help understand the game better, and I have seen the North player pass the trump bid with a family in its hand or ace around. The game can be fun but don’t play to see your partners hand because it proves that programmers program cheats into their games. Or at least break their own rules.


True double deck

playsmartie

Why does my partner push a 10 of trump when he's played his aces. No self-respecting double deck player would do that. Also, why is the player next to the dealer "required" to bid 50 instead of sending meld. That's not how we pkay double deck pinochle.
