Pinochle Lite

In single-player mode, I agree with a couple of people judging the game play is poor. Whoever programmed the robot-partner part of the App really doesn't seem to understand how to pass cards to a partner who's won the bid. My win rate is not great, but my team wins 75% of the games in 'hard' mode. But when our team has lost its often been within our grasp had not the bot been a bonehead. It systematically makes dumb moves. For example, when named trump is clubs or hearts it passes parts of pinochle instead of trump or instead of aces! This, even when the bidding is high, suggesting trump is needed to fill a double run. I've missed a double run countless times because the bot holds onto kings and jacks around rather fill in my double run. For pity sake, if you can't pass trump then pass aces- I'll send you MY parts of pinochle!! Then, if by some lucky chance the bidder gets the double run (more likely if trump was spades or diamonds), all of the Aces it held on to are often lost to trump anyway! In the real world I'd never want to play with such a dumb partner. In the old days when yahoo hosted live online pinochle such poor partners would get booted from the game!

Your robot partner logic needs some serious work. There are several complaints about how stupid the partner is. Today my "partner" did not pass the jack of my club trump suit, and then I find out it has both jacks but passed something like the queen of spades instead! It frequently throws away an ace of a suit that I melt the K+Q in on my trump trick, and it keeps leading counters of a suit that will obviously be trumped by the opponent before pulling trump. I like the game but PLEASE improve the logic so the partner is a better player.

I usually don't complain about ads in a free game. I get it that they have to make money. But this app has by far the most intrusive, pervasive, and frustrating ads I've ever come across in an app. It's ridiculous to watch a 30 video that you can't skip every 2-3 minutes. Unacceptable! That being said, I might have been able to overlook the ads but the gameplay isn't good. Your partner is terrible. There aren't a lot of customization/rule options. Lastly the game mechanics of actually playing cards is very unforgiving and annoying since there is no double tap or swipe required to play. Just a tap will play a card. I've played the wrong card many times due to fat fingers and small card icons. Do yourself a favor and get the other free Pinochle app. It's not great but it stinks less than this one.

I've played Pinochle for years and thought I would try this. In more than 15 games, I've had one hand that has decent meld and so have never won a game. Hello, who programmed this game! Would not recommend. Also, the opponent RENIGs, playing off instead of trumping! No wonder they win! Where I come from, players MUST trump when out of the suit that is led. Here, the opponent is allowed to play whatever, but the game won't let me. What is up with that? This game needs work. Meanwhile, I can't find a good Pinochle game app. I'm afraid to spend money to purchase an app if the game is faulty. So far, all Pinochle games have issues!!!!!

I don't know what you guys are complaining about this app is awesome it's kind of like room for the person who said that they have yet to win a game yeah right I have won tons maybe you're not meant to play this game I'm just saying this game is not hard as for the person who was complaining about the ads I have seen WAY worse I LOVE THIS GAME.
