This is my only complaint about this game. Enable adjustable game settings please. ### 2/5 — Loaded with bugs every new release *2026-07-19, version 3.3.3* Every time there's a new release, add in new bugs. Achievements? Don't work anymore with latest release. A couple didn't work with the prior release either. You'd think the lazy devs at Northsky would learn to write code properly but then again even if they ship AI code they'd never know how to fix it. This is before you get all the golden jokers losing your game. How about a no jokers option? Anyone know a better option for rummy 500 on iPhone? ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-07-06, version 3.3.2* I have enjoyed this game for several years. I have mostly been playing the hard level and holding my own winning more than I lost. Recently I unlocked expert and things changed drastically; all of a sudden it was rare to win a game. The computer is almost perfect in the cards it draws almost emptying it’s entire hand on the first draw, and it seems to know what I have in my hand as it needs almost every card I throw out. I am not going to stop playing, but I will go back to the hard level and quit expert. Disappointing to say the least. ### 4/5 — I like “Rummy 500,” but… *2026-06-27, version 3.3.2* “Rummy 500” is the only version of this game that I have found in the App Store that plays by the rules I am most familiar with. From that standpoint, I really like this game. However, I find the app’s constant hectoring and nagging me to watch ads before I start a round is irritating and tiresome. Also, the graphic design leaves much to be desired. There are very few ways to configure the app’s look and feel, which I find kind of dark and dreary. Perhaps North Sky should consider a couple of changes to make the game better and more fun: permit players to opt entirely out of ads (for a fee, of course!); and refresh the game’s graphics to make them brighter and more attractive. ### 2/5 — Fun game but the Computer blatantly cheats *2026-06-24, version 3.3.2* Fun game but the Computer blatantly cheats … it blatantly plays a card that I have in my hand (not a joker) or it gets a play on every discard. Difficulty level SHOULD NOT dictate quality of cards. Not to mention don’t ever play with anyone online as it’s all a bunch of sore losers that ditch their connection the minute they start losing.. every single time when I hit a 150+ hand (your opponent has lost connection) it never fails.. THE CHEATING IS ASTOUNDING. I’m a seasoned card counter and this game is CHEATING on difficult level.. ### 2/5 — Totally rigged *2026-05-30, version 3.3.1* This game is rigged against you in so many ways. And on top of it, I was just ahead in a game when the app glitched and played 3 hands for me forcing me to lose the game. Unbelievable. ### 2/5 — Great game *2026-05-29, version 3.3.1* I’ve been playing this game for over 10 years, here and there when I have spare time. In waiting rooms, airports etc… it calms me down and keeps me focused on the classic card game. Although it would be nice to have the option to play to 500 instead of 250 sometimes. Definitely the best rummy game available as far as I’m concerned. Thankyou! ### 2/5 — Prop your feet up, watch birds… *2026-04-04, version 3.2.8* …while this app feeds you long, drawn out ads. No escape. Close it and go onto another app. ### 3/5 — Can be fun…. *2026-03-12, version 3.2.7* This game has some adds that you can’t get out of. You have to close the app and reopen it. ### 2/5 — Started out good… *2026-03-09, version 3.2.7* Then became a dumpster of persistent, long duration ads. ### 2/5 — Fun game but the Computer blatantly cheats *2026-02-26, version 3.2.7* Fun game but the Computer blatantly cheats … it blatantly plays a card that I have in my hand (not a joker) or it gets a play on every discard. Difficulty level SHOULD NOT dictate quality of cards. Not to mention don’t ever play with anyone online as it’s all a bunch of sore losers that ditch their connection the minute they start losing.. every single time when I hit a 150+ hand (your opponent has lost connection) it never fails ### 2/5 — Wish it worked better *2026-02-25, version 3.2.7* Played the first round, it was fun but then it put me in a loop where I couldn’t figure out how to play another round… deleted the app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rigged *2026-07-26, version 3.3.4* This game is not about strategy. It is rigged. I been playing rummy since I was 8/9 years old. I was taught by my grandparents. It is no way I lost every other game. Especially when I was 3 points away from winning against the Rummy King game. Nope. Delete. ### 1/5 — Buy To Cheat *2026-07-12, version 3.3.2* I am constantly looking for a better version of this game that does not allow people to cheat, but, unfortunately a better version does not exist. Total BS. ### 1/5 — Advertisements *2026-07-08, version 3.3.2* Used to love this free app. But now it’s inundated with ads. You get ad after ad… The ads never finish. I have to continually close the app, go back in, and it’s still ad after ad. I understand the ads. But… I can’t even get into the game to play. Very sad. ### 1/5 — Fun Game/Login Issues *2026-06-20, version 3.3.1* Game is great, although wish they had more icons and avatars to choose from. Problem is this game asks you to login in EVERY SINGLE TIME you open it. It won’t stay logged in and most of the time won’t sync your awards even when you do login. ### 1/5 — Prop your feet up, watch birds… *2026-04-30, version 3.3.0* …while this app feeds you long, drawn out ads. No escape. Close it and go on to another app. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-04-20, version 3.2.8* I understand the needs for ads, but making me hit the screen 4x to exit an ad? 1 star review all day every day. ### 1/5 — Purchased (cheat) joker cards *2026-03-06, version 3.2.7* I like the game and the app. It’s a nice way to kill time while waiting for appointments. I’m trying to understand the need of purchasing additional joker cards. I have asked the admin specifically and received no answer. A card game that most grew up playing, what’s the need of the jokers? Let alone the fact that you can buy these cheat cards. Yes, if you buy and you use them it’s cheating, don’t fool yourself. Fact of the matter if you them playing me, you’ll either quit or play the clock until you quit. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-02-22, version 3.2.6* This game algorithm isn’t fair at all ### 1/5 — Ads kill it *2026-02-16, version 3.2.6* Ads are endlessly long, and cannot click through even after they run to the end. Connections keeps getting lost when playing friends ### 1/5 — Rigged game *2026-01-21, version 3.2.4* The games are definitely rigged in the bots favor I was up by 200 and the game let the bot go all out first turn 2 times bringing me down by 100 and then I lost the next turn. Rigged game highly don’t recommend. Worse than Vegas slots! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The love of cards *2026-08-30, version 3.3.4* I have to say your game is very challenging to me. I try to keep playing games on my iPad, to keep my mind going! I love to play cards, looking for something new! ### 5/5 — Happy! *2026-07-22, version 3.3.4* Love this app!! I play it for hours! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-30, version 3.3.2* Been playing this game for years it reminds me of when I’m a younger me and my mom used to play this all the time brings back a lot of memories. It’s really relaxing before I go to bed. ### 5/5 — Smile *2026-06-16, version 3.3.1* It makes me smile. I've been playing it for 8 years. :) :) ### 5/5 — Love the game! *2026-05-13, version 3.3.0* I love playing this game on this site. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Rummy 500 l love this game *2026-04-29, version 3.3.0* Love it ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-03-26, version 3.2.8* I have played this game for 100’s hours, I enjoy it so much. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-03-03, version 3.2.7* I’ve been playing these rummy games for years! I just do single player standard rummy but there are a number of kinds of rummy and you can play greater than just two players. I’ve tried them but for me just basic rummy is the right one for me. ### 5/5 — My favorite game *2026-02-15, version 3.2.6* I’ve been playing Rummy 500 for years and this is by far my favorite app ### 5/5 — Love the game *2026-01-14, version 3.2.4* It’s fun --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
