I would have given 5 stars if it would my partner's beginning hand at the end the way it does the opponents' hznds6

Card draws are sketchy. Every game, the computer hands get double runs. I've been playing for several months, and I've had one. Deleting app.

Let me start by saying this... Pinochle is a game where there are more methods of play than there are types of pizza. It's no wonder my partner in 4 handed, double deck play just has the worst brain farts sometimes. I LOVE pinochle IRL, i play for money when I can. This is the best mobile version I have seen yet. That it is off line, but kinda you wish it had online mass multiplayer too
