Enjoyable game

I really enjoy this game. Its fun and relaxing. My only complaint is that I wish the partner wouldnt try to overbid my bid and would work with me better when playing. Because my partner plays all of its trump right away, it ends up taking mine and then we miss our bid. But it wont stop me from playing if. I would just love to see some improvements.

I live this game

500 is my favourite card game and Ive been looking for an App a long time. This is a simple App but it is fun and plays just like the real game. Card play is intelligent and challenging. Im addicted!

Great, but partner keeps doing stupid moves.

I have been playing 500 for years and was excited when I saw an app to play the game. At first I thought it was amazing, but as I kept playing I noticed that my partner was trumping me even though I already had the trick. Also when my opponent would trump my Ace of an off suite my partner would trump as well, but with a lower trump rather than sloughing off, which is a complete waste of a good trump. Great game, but it is frustrating every now and then when this happens. Still give it 4 stars. Have adjusted my strategy because my partner doesnt always play the way he/she should play.

New update is broken

On my iPhone 4 the previous version played fine and was very fun. The new update though is broken: every third card is a 10 of hearts -- it is unplayable! Please fix. Also, adding a title page and a button to press that would take you to the rules would be nice. Id give it five stars then!

Option?

Not bad. Could use options, though, such as use the black 4s and a 5 card kitty. Also, an option to not play 6 bids would be appreciated as well. Add a star for each. One note-once the opponents are out of trump cards, its time to stop leading them. When my partner continues to do so, it gets frustrating. I cant kick him under the table...

How Ive missed 500!

This app is great - especially for an ex-pat living in a country that doesnt know about 500. Would love a multiplayer option but as the developer said, still needs work on partner/opponent A.I. Opponent play against misère is questionable at times (often they win a trick, then lead a card that would have lost it) and computer players never attempt to call it either. Still all in all, very enjoyable.

Fun

This is great game, but is missing the ability to stop and re-start a game if you place an incorrect bid which is easy to do with the touch bid system. Please make it available to get to setting and re-start a hand or a whole game if needed.
