New To Eliminate All Of The Racist Comments.
We absolutely love passing time playing this game.
Finally a real cut-throat app with real players. Definitely separates rookies from pros.
The best pinochle game on line.
The best Pinochle game app Ive played. Very fun and intense, true to the game. You can adjust the settings to fit you.
The app and the game is great but the admins and developers definitely push a right wing agenda as well as allowing racist to continuously spew harmful rhetoric.
We love that it is pass pinochle. Not used to passing 4cards but still fun.
If you love being banned for wordsthis app is for you! Total joke! Admin(s) are bias and ban you for words! Crazy. Dumbest business model! This app started out with over 1,000 ppl playing any given day. Now you are lucky if you have 200. Insane. Wish we had the brains to create our own pinochle app.
This is a top tier pinochle game. Great interface and a great community.
Great many good settings to allow you to customize.
The game is great the administration needs a few lessons in humility and investigating someone they want to block. We were blocked erroneously, and basically forced a liar when we were correct and they were wrong. They havent apologized yet, we feel their pride will not allow it.
This is a great game we recommend it with the following exceptions; When playing the computer the opposing team always passes control to its partner no matter what cards have been played. Workable. Playing online is hard because changing the scoring is difficult and it shows whats wrong but when fixed in settings it doesnt change it. We love pinochle and this game is the best Ive played. Hope they can fix those two things. Then it would be perfect for us.
Pinochle way better than Spades.
We love the game of pinochle, played it for many years, when there was time and players. We play double deck. This app is very frustrating in that the opposing team ALWAYS gets more aces than our team. They routinely get 35 and MORE meld. They receive double runs twice as much as our team. The player the our left gets aces in our trump 99% of the time. We fall out of our chair, when we can pass our opponent in trump on the first try. If you dont receive many aces, you have a very hard time to pull tricks. We have played 6 games in the past 3 days, and HAVE NOT won a single game. Half of the games we played these past 3 days, we receive less than 3 aces. Playing AI is great, but losing every game having only kings, queens, jacks, a couple of 10s and maybe 1 ace, is not much fun, not real enjoyable. Im considering looking for another app, as some of the other reviews we have read, echoed our sentiments. We find it troubling how many reviews have so much negativity in them. Not good.
This the best by far online pinochle double deck partner cut throat game around.
Ive never played quadruple deck. Its really fun. Its super great to learn on as well.
A fun app! We have played it for several years and still enjoy it.
Perfect tool for everyone wanting practice to improve their play.
Love this game. Nice features. Easy to learn. One of our better games.
Love your games and you giving us a lot of option choices for each game is awesome.
Hey guys, love your app! Would love to see it playable on MacBook Silicon devices, from our understanding you guys just have to allow it as it uses the same framework as iPhone. Id even pay a couple dollars for the app. Maybe other people too? Just an idea. Thanks guys.
Besides the AI is a dupe of a partner. Would be nice for a couple of tweaks, Like Fixn , that jus because IT has Double Knucks an no Pwr nor a 2nd suit , But wants to outbid us all the way to 80 After , the other team ducked out when we opened at 60. . 90% of playin this game is fun And if we could find out how much Ive played this game over the years. . Its on every device Ive had. . . AI needs to take Its Butt back down to the Spades Table.
Meld is different from what we learned o other than that its a great game.
Years ago we used to okay every Saturday night, These days no one around us plays. This app is ok. We just find offline it is very one sided most of the time. However, it is good practice for strategy.
The best but worst dealing hands.
It seems like the 3 digital players get good hands. The non digital player hardly gets a good melt. Not gonna keep this game for long we enjoy playing Pinochle but it seems like it seems like the games repeat often. The same game repeats to often. Its fun.
Want to change order of hand instead of 9 10 want A10K.
Would love an uncapped rating system, getting to a hundred is exciting but would be great to have an uncapped rating so you could really separate the best from the best. No need for different ques for people 100+, just an uncapped score would be great.
Good play, only sometimes its slow to get 4 players in single deck.
We don't like the dealer. We think it favors the other team most of the time! Our partner always tries to outbid us even when he shouldn't.
We like this game. We would have given it a 5 star review if people were nicer in here.
Pinochle should be 15 and not 4.
Not bad. We just play the computer and the deck is definitely rigged Vegas style but they let you win every now and then to keep your interest. We swear there must be 12 aces in the single deck because the one guy always makes his bid with trash and 100 aces or his partner comes in with 2 at the end. You have to wonder what theyre passing because it always seems to work out for them.
Our big disappointment is the fact that we paid for the game so we should not be getting advertisements! Overtime it has gotten worse with constant advertisements.
It shows us a graft but it doesnt tell us whos scores it is. Is it our score with the opponents score or is our our score and our partners score. It should tell us.
Isnt random deal, but fun when you know how to manipulate the games.
We have played Pinochle for years even before apps. We really enjoyed this app in the beginning, but now, the deal for us is basically the same every time. 4 suits, with various non-effective cards. This doesnt happen with a real deck of cards, so maybe you need to look at your algorithm.
We like the card game. However we dont like that its creators decided to let the game decide what trump is in our hand. We decide what we want for trump. Second when we learned how to play we were taught that even if we dont get the bid we still get the points for our meld and cards. However the game doesnt give us the points for the meld and point cards in the tricks we take.
One of our favorite card games very fun & consumes a lot of time.
If you like to play pinochle and have no partner this is the game for you. You can play single deck or double deck. Its easy to down load and you play against computer with names. Its free. It kills time and we love it. Here in OK no one plays it but us. We love it. Check it out.
We played several different versions of pinochle apps and to us none of them are equal, most definitely not better, if theirs one better please let us know!! Thanks.
If youre a fan of pinochle then this game is a must have.
This is a really good game of pinochle. Easy to play and moves fast.
If you like pinochle then you will have many ways in which to develop you game.
Best game ever it doesnt cheat we can win almost every hand. If we just have the skill enough faces its all God Bless you and yours!about the aces and your skill of knowing how to use them. Dont even hesitate to download this game. Ive been playing this game for 15 years and it hasnt changed one bit except for to get better God bless you all and stay off fentanyl.
Best game this side of the wall.
We love this app but we think we should maybe be able to upgrade to betting on the games .. Fr and Im not talking bout betting with some noodles and honey buns neither .. Im talking mad ca$hhh.. Who else is with us on this.
We are a beginner and we have grown to like this game a lot. We wish there was a score chart on the side somewhere to help us figure out what our meld is.
Thank you for the hours of time pleasantly enjoyed with friends that would have been impossible to visit.
