About the developer.
I learnt to play 500 at school and enjoy playing now when I find willing opposition. I developed this game because I wanted a 500 app that is fun and intuitive to play and has a user experience similar to when you play with a group of friends.

I will be continuing to develop and improve this app, as my time allows. I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions you have.

Ratings and reviews

The playing area isn't mobile friendly at all! It needs to be larger as Fat Finger gets me in terrible trouble too often! I don't like can't see total score tally during play, only able to see amount of tricks taken by each team. I'm used to being able to look at last hand before beginning to play the next card & that's not available. Wish there were better options for selecting partner, & the default opposing players rarely bid (as if their only mission is to set opponents).

So far I have downloaded and deleted a number of 500 apps. the main issue I have with the cpu player, and it seems the way the game is played in any app. The cpu player (your partner), more often than not chooses suit based on, I don't know what. When suit is made the cpu player leads the trump suit, doesn't off suit ever, and bleads you dry. When you lead an Ace of an off suit, rather than throw off, to win the trick, the cpu player trumps you, wasting a trump card. ridiculous!

You got all the fundamentals right but it just a bit difficult to use. Cards hard to select don't know what to do at first with kitty discard. Speed good could be more visually clear. Also a sort of cards as you would in reality. Really liked full screen ootion
