Pinochle Pro

I play the ad-free version. I’ve been playing the game with few glitches and no crashes. Both partner and opponent play seems to make “pinochle sense”, with no one making blatantly stupid plays (like throwing a second ace to give your partner a counter early in the hand). I’m curious about the Achievements, though: I’ve blown past 100 games, but somehow haven’t earned that badge yet. I think player Shirley got broken in the recent (2024) upgrade, though. She now says after every deal “that’s because you’re sitting in my lucky chair.” She only ever used to say that when someone else got a really good hand.

This game is a lot of fun. The lower ratings seem to be for earlier issues that the developer has since corrected. I like that the game automatically calculates the meld for you. Also you can see and change the players. In this version, the winner of the bid exchanges 4 cards with their partner which makes the game more interesting. There are ads, but they are not too annoying and there is an option to remove ads for $4.99. I am really enjoying this game.

Hi, so your app is very accessible for the most part using the Voiceover screen reader. I'm totally blind, used to play pinochle with braille cards. There's just one problem. I can't tell what's trump. It's shown up a few times, but I've made bad passes when trying to pass cards to my partner. So maybe if there's something that says what trump is, that would be very helpful. Other than that, I can play the game because I can count cards in my head. Update: another big problem. I'm very confused. If someone plays, on my left, a Queen of Spades, and my partner (north), plays the Ace of Spades, East plays, say, Jack of Spades, and I play a King of Spades, that should give my partner and I 2 pointers. Instead, they seem to be going to the West-East partnership. That's not right! If North plays the Ace, then they get the trick. At least, that's how I was told. It seems that in this version, whoever plays the trump card first wins the trick. Was I told incorrectly or something?
