Love it
I love trickster cards app. It's a phenomenal free app. I hope they don't go crazy with ads in the future. Perfect for games with friends or other players! Great job trickster!!!
Good outlet
Good diversion from the same old routine during social distancing. The “computer” doesn’t always seem to bid wisely though.
Great App
This app is a great way to hone your 500 skills! The computer players are not bad, and it’s great when a real player joins the game.
Well done!
This is by far the best 500 game ever. Period!
stable, comprehensive variations
this app works well and has great features. fairly easy to use and has a lot of nice variations.
Fun
I’m having a good time!

Love it......
Fun game with variations
It’s fun but has variation from what I’m used to. Partner has never picked up on my hint. Actually really enjoy playing. Some players are very sloe to bid or play a card. Could be a case of a computer acting up.
500 App
Great way to connect with friends during this pandemic.
Fun. Clever. Addictive
Love it
Best out there, but needs some work.
Nice to have an app with the American (5-card widow) version. The (practice game using computer players) bidding algorithm needs some work, as most bids are 8, even if the bidder doesn't hold the joker or a bower. Cards don't always fall as you plan them, but you shouldn't be missing a bid by 3 tricks. I am very glad it recognizes when opponents are out of trump and stops leading it. Other apps do not; very frustrating! The cards are easy to see and it's nice to be able to set the pace of play. Overall a good app; soon (I hope) to be a great app!
Don’t Download. Defective Computer Players. Petty Money grab
Avoid this product. While there are many nice options, the Computer/AI/Bot players are poorly programmed and are terrible players. When you join a game there’s likely not going to be four real players available, so you’re often going to find yourself paired with a Bot partner that constantly sabotages your game due to its stupidity/incompetence. I wrote the developers to see if they are doing anything about this, but they said “no”. They also said “We know that out games are better when played with real people”. This is madness, especially since decent players could be configured relatively easily (see Special K Software’s 500 game for Windows that has excellent AI players). Bottom line, they know this is a problem, but don’t care, they’re likely just trying to get more people to make purchases of in-game “chips” for real money instead.
Can’t play off line
Great game but burns data and you can’t play it off line. And all the ads are videos so that really eats up data.
Payment Required.
You cards will be garbage unless you do.
