Latest reviews of iPitch app for iPhone and iPad
This game only works if you want to play alone. The only reason I bought this is so my husband and I could play together through the Game Center. When you invite someone to a game there is no way to accept the invitation. We spent over an hour trying to figure it out and then we gave up. Im sorry I paid $1.99 for this app because I probably wont play it because I cant use multiplayer.
Very often the computer will make completely irrational bids. It will bid a smudge when there is no way the hand can take each trick. I have been out bid in the same suit I was going to use a the trump when I had a far superior hand. Some bids no human would ever make. The logic needs fixing.
This app does not perform as advertised. Its possible to invite other players via Gamecenter but there isnt a way to accept it and start a game. Please correct this bug!!!
The only reason we bought this was for the multiplayer function through gamecenter and it doesnt work. Please fix this.
Incorrect scoring. Something seemed wrong until I kept score by myself, then it was confirmed. Also why do I never get dealt good cards? Fix your glitches!
