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).

Constantly plays a different card to what you select... needs a confirmation before playing. When bidding, your so-called partner frequently makes higher unobtainable bids. And the scoring needs serious work... had a few games that i thought the scoring wasnt right, just had a game with a winning 6NT bid & the score was given to the opposition. That was the kast straw, uninstalled!

I would like to see you add a help/ clue feature, symbol, to help new players like me, learn what to keep and dispose of when looking at our hand. and I would welcome additional assistance features. otherwise I am guessing, when I play. Please consider adding this feature. thank you.
