User Reviews for Rummy 500

Very good interface, terrible AI

AI plays jokers very oddly (poorly). I'd like to see a more advanced AI. UPDATE: the AI is actually quite flawed, making ridiculously bad plays regularly (for example, using both wildcards to play a single regular card, usually a small one, or using a wildcard while simultaneously playing the same actual card in an unneeded spot, using a wildcard on the end of a meld that has more than 3 cards, using a wildcard and then discarding the identical actual card on same turn). Honestly, the fact that the AI wins at all is pretty strong evidence the deck isn't random.Update : the AI had gotten better it seems. Unfortunately this has exposed just how ridiculous the card distribution is. AI very often starts with 3 large melds. I occasionally start with 2, almost never with 3. It seems sometimes the AI just decides to win, and just hammers you relentlessly through a few short hands to victory. I'd like to see a true random card generator.

The challenge …… continued

I still love the game and play it every day. The same thing that I said in my first review is still true. The computer always has a hand that has several melds when the hand is dealt. During a game you can always depend on the Computer having at least one hand of four aces. When the computer wants to win the game you don’t stand a chance. When they want you to win the game they lay down every card that you need to win. The computer knows your hand and what cards you need . I just wish that it wasn’t so predictable. Even if that I play it more than any other game.

Great game!

Very fair and challenging. I see some complaining the game is predictable. No kidding! It's a card game that uses 52 cards! Patterns are bound to show up whether you play with a computer OR a human. It is not in usual for cards YOU don't need at the moment to be needed by your opponent so YEAH, the bot is going to pick up a lot of your discards, THE SAME AS ANY GOOD HUMAN PLAYER WOULD. I swear most, if not all, bad reviews of this app are coming from people with little to no experience playing Rummy 500 with real people and a real deck. I've played for over fifty years (since the age of five) and this game is no more predictable than the real thing. It's also just as fair as playing real people. Well worth downloading.

Great game. Couple of thoughts.

I love this game and find it to be addictive. Highly recommended! But I have a couple of thoughts on it. The UI is a little confusing. Swapping between online and single should have a more defined button rather than lumping it in among all the other buttons. Also, I can’t figure out to play a game to 500 despite the game being called Rummy 500. All games online are to 250. I would also like an improvement in the timing system. Playing online can be frustrating because opponents have a long time to take their turn and some do. I thought I would alleviate this by earning enough coins to purchase the Speed Rummy package. It turns out Speed Rummy wasn’t a version with more limited turn time but instead is a game in which you play against the AI for one turn instead of a point total. I would also love to see the 4 person online version. I earned enough coins for the 4 person version only to discover it’s against AI. Despite these issues I still whole heartedly recommend this game. I suggest buying a coin package early to rid the game of the ads. I understand why they’re there but the ads almost make the game unplayable. For a reasonable 2.99 they were gone.

Good game but annoying ad features

The game is good but the ads irritate me to the point that I don’t play this game often any more. The app has adds like most apps... no big deal right... lots of games have 10-15 seconds of ad. Except for some reason the app has ads that over ride my phones volume. when I have the sound off the ads still play with sound and some have no way to stop the sound. This is really annoying when I’m trying to play in public or when Im trying to play at night and my so is trying to sleep. So I turn the volume all the way down and hope that I remember to turn it back on when I’m done or else I might not hear my alarm for work. Or sometimes I choose to play a different game all together because the ad sound is so irritating. Honestly if it weren’t for the ad sound playing this game would be rated higher. Please fix this major problem!!

Fun for what it is.

I’ve always enjoyed rummy and like to be able to play on my phone, when I can’t play in person. I’ve been playing this app for over 2 years now and I can say that there has been improvements but let’s just say this. You will lose more than win, no matter your strategy. If you want to watch your opponent go out in one hand, before you have even a chance to play. This game is it lol. I’ve never enjoyed playing 3 of a kind, I find it to be lazy and not fun. When I play in person, we play straights only. Makes rummy more challenging and last longer. Obviously this is not an option for this app. So most people throw out those 3 of a kinds within seconds of the game starting. And if it isn’t that, the card distribution is odd. 9/10 my opponents gets most cards they need and go out fast. It’s worse when it’s the computer. I say out of 10 games. I’ll win 4 of them and the rest I lose. And when I mean lose. I mean get clobbered. It’s not a very even game playing app. But nonetheless, it’s a decent app for online rummy playing. There are times when I’m the opponent that gets the cards they need and go out fast. I do enjoy that lol. I would also say out of 10 games, 3 of them will be an even/close game. I like when that happens too. When we both are just playing a real rummy game and the computer isn’t leaning towards one player. It’s fairly even throughout.

Good but could be better

I like this game a lot. However I don’t like that when I organize my hands the computer changes it. I don’t like that I can’t reorganize my hand until I pick a card. It annoys me because it doesn’t have a button to change from run to sets.Another thing that bothers me, when I pick up a played card not the last one I always have to put it down. But the computer doesn’t. Sometimes it with pick up example: a 2, 5, j. But it lays down a meld that may or may not include the 2. I always have to play it he farthest in card in this case a meld that includes the 2.Other then that I like the game a lot. I have purchased it so I only get an ad when I need a new daily challenge.

Cheaters never win!

When you buy jokers and play them against other people you don’t win, you cheated, you didn’t play fairly, you don’t get the credit for the win on an emotional level and you know in your heart you actually lost. Playing them against the computers is fine since the odds seem to be in their favor, but playing them against people like yourself is just plain cheating and who can stand themselves if they win by cheating? It takes the fun out of the game when people slip in a purchased joker at the end, it just takes away from the pleasure of the game when people cheat and it’s so obvious that they’re doing it. Otherwise the game is pretty fun, except for those who feel like they have to pay to win.

Good Game But Could Be Great Game

I really like the game, and the commercial set up isn’t bad at all... you periodically have to watch a commercial before starting a new game or can choose to watch one for extra experience points. HOWEVER... My only problem is that I do not feel that cards to the computer are always random. I realize any combination of cards could be dealt; however, too frequently the computer has extraordinary runs or the card I lay down is exactly what it needs. At the same time, as a recipient, I seem to have similar experiences where what I’m dealt is fantastic and every card that comes up is golden. Another scenario is that virtually every card I receive is horrible, and every card the computer receives is golden. The problem is that these unusual runs both for the computer or for me happen more than in real life, enough so that it creates a downward spiral of frustration at times - and in turn because of the periodic inequity of the game, the the ads become frustrating. Just when I think I want to purchase the game to remove the ads, the inequities pop up again, and I think, “Why bother?” I realize a deck of cards is limited, but I think the randomization of cards can and should be improved. So, because there aren’t a lot of 500 Rummy options, and I really like 50” Rummy, I put up with it and keep playing. It’s not all bad. It has runs if fairness where I win some and lose some.

What is with MULTIPLE LOSS CONNECTIONS?!

I would have given 5 Stars but for the fact it has become frustrating to complete a game as it should be played. Multiple times while playing the choice pops up to play against “computer” or take the game as a “DRAW.” This because the CONNECTION HAS BEEN LOST. This issue is definitely on the end of the developer’s because I do not experience this with any other APP. Also, it has been obvious the same selection of cards are dealt after a round with slight variations. Coupled with this the distribution is, at times, lopsided meaning, a player has an almost perfect round for a player and an extremely poor round the the other player. Maybe a little more development of the algorithm will keep the playing fair. Just a thought.
