Best 500 app

Tried em all, Superior work AND support for the developer. Have sent in multiple requests based on AI, game play and rule variations - always responds and incorporates into the game!
Online invite not working

Created a game and invited my friends. They all got the game link but couldn’t select it. Ended up using Trickster (which is free).
Great app!

Love this app! It downloaded and opened without an issue. The graphics are great, it's easy to use, and I love the handy instruction guide! Offline and online player modes are also a great feature. Wish all my card game apps worked this well. Definitely recommend this app
Fun & smart

Helpful, very well thought out and has lots of great options. Easily best 500 game app I've played so far.
Bad A.I., so-so interface (review for solo offline)
Snow dog 2
Upon a 6 no trump bid computer partner (either yours or the opponent's) will ALWAYS bid 7 spades. Then the original no trump bidder (if it's not you) will follow with some crazy higher bid - often NOT in spades or it might even be a red suit, but NEVER a higher no trump; your computer partner is erratic - he often doesn't get 2- or 3-suited if he wins the bid and sometimes bids 9 even if he doesn't have nearly the hand to do it with; interface artwork looks nice but the buttons for selecting and placing your bid and checking the bid scores are unnecessarily small. I love 500 and even though this is pretty much all that's out there I was too frustrated to continue playing it. The fact that I had to download the pay version because the lite version was buggy adds insult to injury.
Bad APP!

Agree with Snow Dog 2. Also, when playing off-line, when AI wins bid, first play off suit always plays to the partners Ace, and they ALWAYS have several Aces in off suits. Partner bid 6 NT and had King high in just one suit. If you want to play with people/partners/computer who don't know the game go online and play and save your money.
Wow!

Mark has hit it out of the park with this variation of the great game of 500. I fell in love with this game many years ago because of its combination of bridge, euchre and how it allows for strategic game play that minimizes luck. He was incredibly generous with my suggestions of adding more world wide variations that allows anyone to curtail the game play to suit their fancy in how they've learned to play the game. It's very intuitive and aggressive which makes this a great experience either playing solo or online with friends. Kudos!!
Will be awesome with a few tweaks

This is a great start. Visually it is excellent. However it needs some improvements. 1. It takes a minute or more for the opponents to deal. Which is odd because the host's deal is instantaneous. It's really frustrating to wait that long between hands. 2. The first deal is always granted to the host. It should be randomly awarded among all the players. 3. The rules need to be expanded, especially for beginners. I am not a beginner but if I had been it would have been difficult to learn the game based on how what is presented. Otherwise a nice game!
