Pros and cons of Pinochle HD app for iPhone and iPad
Pinochle HD app good for
If you are familiar with other bidding type games you will like this one. I have found it to be quite addictive and would recommend it.
This is my favorite card App. It is a bit quirky, but Ive seen steady improvement by the author which is encouraging. It is a nice way to practice a bit between pinochle meetings! Everybody has slightly different scoring rules...
I like this game more than other pinochle games but as most everybody has mentioned you cant really count on your partner passing the right cards plus if you dont take the bid your partner seldom will. All in all not anything out there thats much better.
The last straw is when my partner sent back half of a double pinochle. Took the game off.
Great game plays with no problems stays true to the card game I recommend this game to everyone !
For a computer game its great the only one Ive found better is on pogo
This game is so awesome!!! It makes playing cards fun. It is really easy to play by yourself and play with others!! You can have a fun time beating your friend or playing with them.
Some bad moments
What kind of rules does this game has. You can do what you want? I would not like to play with such players
I am a very experienced pinochle player and find the strategy very questionable. The app crashes continually, sometimes fatal as one player has too many cards. Save your money!
They basically bully you into the upgrade with 30 second commercials at every turn. The promise of online play with live players has been non-existent so far. If i could get a refund I would take it. The flow of play has become predictable, i would say a computer could never mimic a real players thought process.
IS there EVER anyone online to play?? I purchased this game to play with others, not only by myself! It scrolls "looking for player" for so long my iPad goes to sleep!
Whoever wrote this program certainly DOES NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME! To the "avid" pinochle player back on n the day", you clearly have forgotten every rule when passing to a partner. Power passes first, then let the trump caller pass the junk off to make meld. If youre holding onto an ace, or your partner passes it back, you hold it to cover their losers. ESPECIALLY if they meld losers. This game is way to frustrating for me to play anymore. It doesnt matter what trump is called, the computer partner ALWAYS passes trying to land the double pinochle. SOOOOOOO FRUSTRATING!!!!
If passing features would be corrected, I would give this app 5 stars. Partner should not be allowed to pass back cards received In a pass, especially when they pass back a jack or queen that would make a pinochle in partners hand. Read the rule book and fix.
