User Reviews

Ultimate 500 is widely praised as the best 500 card game app with strong graphics, intuitive use, and solid offline/online play, plus many options and an instructional guide. However, multiple reviews note recurring online connectivity and invite issues, unreliable AI bidding offline, and a small/clumsy UI with limited bid visibility.

Cons
  • Online play/connectivity issues and invites not working reliably.

Greetings, haven’t touched base in awhile. Thanks for making the best 500 game out there! Ran into an issue last few weeks, the online feature is no longer working…don’t know if you’ve received any feedback on that or not. I’m plugged into the Game Center so if there’s not an issue, ok to re-install without losing any data/settings? On another note, leaving messages in the online center doesn’t seem to garner much interest. Any way to connect with players to begin a game? No I don’t have Facebook. Thanks for taking all my suggestions in the past and adding them to your app!

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).

Select Play Offline -> Play Solo -> View Rules, and in “Preferences Rules” one cannot change them: the lines that are checked/unchecked remain that way. Is there some ‘private’ keystroke sequence to change them known only to developer and co-workers? I liked “My500” better that worked until I upgraded to iOS11 a while back because its developer is too lazy to fix that app to work with iOS11.
