User Reviews

Extreme 500 is praised for its authentic, nostalgic bidding experience and usefulness for practicing bidding and scoring, with features like 3‑handed Cutthroat. However, the app suffers from persistent issues: unreliable bidding/misère AI, biased card dealing, lack of real online play, numerous bugs affecting scoring and achievements, and several UI/feature gaps. Overall, players enjoy the core gameplay but want significant AI stability, fairness, and multiplayer improvements.

Pros

Enjoyable, nostalgic 500 bid gameplay that players report as great for nightly play.
Good for practice and learning bidding and scoring.
Includes modes like 3‑handed Cutthroat and solid scoring options.
Strong AI provides a challenging opponent and feels more realistic than some other apps.
Faithful to the real game and loved as a learning/nostalgic tool.

Cons

Bidding AI and misère logic is unreliable and often blocks win opportunities, with misère bids behaving oddly.
Card dealing/unfair randomness: hands often seem biased in favor of the opponents or the house.
No real online play: the app predominantly uses computer opponents on both sides, limiting multiplayer appeal.
Bugs and glitches affect core features (scoring, achievements, navigation) and undermine stability.
UI/UX gaps and missing features (pre-bid card rearrangement, ordering from kitty, multiple 500 types, unclear rating/achievements).

Recent reviews

Wish I could get my money back. Gameplay is terrible. When you win bid, kitty stays in middle and you have to switch out one card at a time (instead of the kitty going into your hand and discarding cards). Even worse, when you switch each individual card it isn’t sorted by suit. Also, you can either choose playing a 6 bid or not playing a 6 bid. There is no inkling. Most basic features available in all the other free apps aren’t even available with a paid app. Don’t waste your money.
