Pinochle Gold App Reviews

Finally a pinochle game by someone who knows how to play it! Lets you set some scoring specifics which is good with the many variations out there you can get the game youre used to playing with friends. Now I can practice - good job.

I bought the upgrade but it was no better. The other players consistently get more meld. Some bidding patterns constantly repeat. Not a bad app, but it should be so much better. Best was when other team didnt bid then had a run in my trump.

Ive been playing this game for quite a while now and it really lacks a lot. Let me put it this way; if my computer partner was a real pinochle partner I wouldve reached over the table and slapped him several hundred times by now. The game lacks the intelligence needed to be a game that is useful and enjoyable. The game makes several very obvious mistakes. For example the computer partner will open at 26 and when you pass, it passes the very next turn. It shouldnt be bidding if it cant be a second time. Its amateur pinochle. There are many mistakes like that being made in this game and they need to be corrected before this game is really considered a good game. The programmers have a lot of work to do. If you dont mind getting frustrated by stupid plays and bids, you like the game.

I dont mind playing to practice counting cards but the computers dont know how to bid terrible partners. Why cant anyone make a live pinochle game also cut throat should be a 3 player double deck game stupid horrible a1 and development

This would be such a great game if the opposing team did not get all the cards consistently ...Very frustating. You get a decent bidding hand very rarely and your partner never bids.

This is not a bad app. I like the single-hand play. There is a bug in the summary screen. Sometimes the cards are not even close to what was actually in hand. Not sure of the circumstances. Also, please move all the icons so they dont block the cards in the review. iPhone user. I like the interface. Thank you. When you go set, the next hand reveal shows the previous hand

Game is perfect. Major flaw with the partner though. Partner will run the bid up against you to no end it seems. Playing single deck with a possibility of 25 total pointers I was ran up to 100 by my partner who then in turn had only 3 meld. Great app, game play is perfect, but the partner ruins it. Worth it if you can handle that idiot.

Game is good. Best one out there, albeit a little predictable. Latest update included one frustrating feature: now you have to reset the game settings every time you start the application. I dont know who thought that was a good idea, its not. Please return it back to normal.

Really bad. Obviously creator doesnt 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. Wouldnt play at all but laptop unavailable to play with humans in yahoo. Partner will hold jD qS for 4 points meld when Ds 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 doesnt pass the queen to save 4 points Hand lost w/o playing a card. Creator if this game is very stupid. Doesnt know pinochle from Old Maid. Sorry Ive wasted so much time with this game. Obviously creators cant 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. Im 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 dont 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. Cant 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 doesnt 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.
