horrible app. I am an experienced player and the bidding is the most unrealistic simulation I have ever seen. almost every bid goes over forty on the expert level with zero reasoning and a few times my "partner" kept bidding when it was just the two of us. I am uninstalling and finding a more realistic app.

My partner, the bot that you designed, knows nothing about table talk. such as when I don't have any more of a certain suit or I have the rest of the aces and I play a jack comeback, my partner bot almost never comes back in the suit that I'm trying to send a message that I have that suit covered. the other team does not even do any table talk but yet they know exactly where to go to get around me. FYI there are other Pinnacle games that you can play real people which is more fair and fun.

It's a cool app. It would be really nice if it would also offer the German rules and cards.
