Spades+ for Negative User Reviews
✓ Too many long Ads nowIt used to be a great game. Now the ads are way too long ... Like 60 seconds Inn some cases. Will be looking for another similar app..Version: 4.34
✓ CrashWhen an app closes and CRASHES randomly but the basis for your success is measured on NOT abandoning the game. This is NOT a meme, it’s a review!!!.Version: 5.2
✓ Too many foul playersEdit: 7/1/20 Developers did respond to my review and thanks for taking the time to do that. One easy fix you could do that would greatly benefit everyone who plays in rated multiplayer is eliminating the 13 bid. Original review below with grammatical corrections. This is a decent app for spades, and I appreciate the clean aesthetic without a lot of extra clutter on the screen BUT players will bid 13 if you make a mistake, or abandon the game, and even though they penalize the player who leaves, you still lose points on your rating when you lose. I’ve seen players completely sabotage games out of spite if they get set or get a book when the bid nil. It looks like you can’t get above 1700 points without spending money on more coins or the game will give you hands that are guaranteed to lose unless someone on the other team makes a serious mistake. And if your partner leaves and you decide to play with the pc partner, the ai will sabotage you too - by overbidding/underbidding. I recently had “shark” as a partner in multiplayer when it bid nil and proceeded to cut with a spade to win a book in a game I could’ve won. They need to fix that ASAP. It’s not fair to be punished for staying in the game when your partner quits or losing points because they left or sabotaged your game..Version: 5.6
✓ Utter Joke and Cheat of a GameThis game is laughable....as soon as you get in the lead on this game you’re opponents then call small card tricks and then force you to lose the hand...e.g. my opponent called 1 trick with 3 aces 2 kings and 3 spades... They then happen to win 7 of the tricks after calling 1 😂😂. Me and my partner were obviously forced to call more tricks so we didn’t add tricks to our hand and ultimately ended up losing 80pts... This happens all the time and gets very boring and repetitive....absolute waste of time because any time you get near to winning the game the cheat mode comes in and you end up being beaten. Have to give 1star but rather give this game a massive fat 0..Version: 4.34
✓ Annoying advert keeps getting me bootedThere are ads in between hands which is fine. But there’s one that has popped up twice today that I can’t X out of and it’s caused me to be booted from both games. Would be 5 stars otherwise.Version: 4.34
✓ Adds between every handThis was a good little game until they put adds between EVERY hand. Hard pass.Version: 5.33
✓ Needs improvementThere are still too many ads in this game. Also when you play with A.I. it’s like they’re playing against you. They don’t help at all. So annoying!!.Version: 5.22
✓ Great to not goodI have had this game since it first came out and have enjoyed it daily. However of late it has gone wrong. I appreciate it needs advertising to support it but of late, some need 3 clicks to get out of or the sound file continues after you have “x”d out. Others have the x so small that you need 20/20 vision and a magnifying glass to see them or a white x on a slighly less white background . It should be one x out that is standard for all advertising and in the same place that is easy to see..Version: 5.43
✓ Convinced this game manipulates outcomesI have played countless games, as I enjoy spades, so if you are entertained this could work for you. But the intelligence of the other players is poor, especially when I bid nil. I have countless times where my partner plays a high spade to win a trick that was not needed and is then left with a low spade (or no spade) to cover me. In addition, I am fully convinced that the program just wants the game to continue on to show more ads. The computer will often bid nil when it has over 400 points, and it is way to easy to bust that nil than earlier bid nils. My partner will often bid just enough to get us to 490 so the bags add up and potentially lose the game (but get another 2-3 hands of ads to watch). I don’t even worry if I get down by 400 points, as I believe the program wants to prolong the ads. I have come back several times from that far down (especially after my unintelligent partner can’t properly cover a blind nil), it’s all fun but I can’t play this any longer knowing that it’s just manipulating for increased ads..Version: 4.30
✓ PunishSort out what videos ads you use. Frequently get stuck within and advert. Can’t return to the game..Version: 5.43
✓ Rip offIf you are in the lead you get hands needing 1 point bet. Can’t win always have no trumps and bad hands.Version: 5.7
✓ Too many adsWay ttoo many ads.Version: 5.47
✓ Amazing game but stupid programmingThe game is amazing and I enjoy playing it with computer but whoever did the programming doesn’t know how to play it right for example any time I bid for zero or blind zero, my partner would cut something with his hand ghost spades and falling short to cover me later in that game or he starts playing with his lowest suits?, it seems like your partner is playing against you most of times or he would get much more than he bid and puts me in trouble of collecting spare points that would lead us to lose 100 points later on as we play..Version: 5.40
✓ Great Game, Annoyingly frequent adsLove the games A-Star makes, but the ads in Spades (especially when compared the Euchre and Hearts) is WAY to frequent. It disrupts the flow of game play. After 1 game I’ve stopped playing and will search for another app..Version: 5.41
✓ Could be betterThis game is potentially decent, but there's two things that need adjusting: 1. As someone has pointed out above, your partner doesn't cover you as it should 2. When you choose to win zero tricks the cards are laid so you nearly always end up winning at least one trick. Ok you achieve it now and again, but the amount of times you have say the 7D and the other three players lay the 3,4 and 6 happens way too often to be random..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great app LOUD adds!App itself is great and they are improving it constantly Main issue is even if the game is in no sound mood, some adds are playing sound.. super annoying!.Version: 5.7
✓ Used to love this version of SpadesI play this game a lot, or used to. I have become increasingly frustrated by my so called ‘partner’ called Shark, recent updates have made them a very bad partner, playing high spade when I nil, when it is totally unnecessary to do so, and when they have a lower spade, leaving me exposed with a highish spade. I have written a few times to A Star, I get the same, standard, response ‘we’ll pass this on to the developers’ like hell they will😡 I have now, after 4-5 years, deleted this game. I also play their Euchre and Hearts, but if they go the same way as Spades, then they will be deleted also. Goodbye A Star.Version: 5.14
✓ Cream of the CrapIf you played yahoo years ago, you’ll never find anything close. This app is the cream of the crap. It glitches regularly where you get randomly kicked from a game and it never allows you back in so you’ll most often lose your rating points. People will cheat by using the scripted chat and, since all of your partners are random, it will put you into games with people sometimes 500 rating pts below so you’re forced to play with partners who don’t know the game, how to read your play or bid their hand. All that said, it’s the best interface and with a few programming tweaks they could make it better and kill the competition but they don’t. So basically they’re lost potential and it’s no better than any other app..Version: 5.33
✓ Still waiting for a fix!!!Quit letting players set and run out on a game! If they leave take at least 10 points off and make them sit out a while…even if their partner still manages to win! The player that stays should not get points taken away if they lose but get points or even bonus points if they win! It’s ridiculous to have 9 out of 10 games have players make stupid bids and get set then leave the game and if their partner is skilled enough to still win with a ridiculous bot they should get bonus points and the player that ran out get extra points taken away!! The other bad thing are the players that are losing so they just stall out the game till they finally get booted all because they are poor sports and know they don’t get penalized enough to care so it ruins the game for everyone! These are such obvious fixes to an overwhelming problem that’s costing your game money from people that are tired of paying to play quitters! I’d buy lots more games if not for these issues. I only buy now when I’m so bored of everything else but lately even that’s not happening because I’d rather not play then have a quitter run out and stick me with a bot that has no clue what bags mean!! Wake up and fix this crap unless you wanna just keep losing cash customers!!! This game would hands down be a 5 star game if not for that one simple problem!.Version: 5.49
✓ AdsThey discourage you from leaving but ad loops time you out or crash deserting the game through no fault of your own and you take the hit..Version: 5.49
✓ PlayingWhy do the faceless people behind the game keep putting high rank players with low rank I try my hardest to keep my rank but keep getting put with low rank.Version: 5.22
✓ They removed my reviewWhen they ask you to talk to them through their app, the message is … don’t embarrass us in public. Please go private so we can ignore you. Classy 🤬.Version: 5.41
✓ Needs improvementI’ve been playing spades for years with actual people and love the game, so I saw this and downloaded it. At first playing it seems pretty good. But the more I’ve played the more I see huge flaws. For example just as others have stated going nil with low cards my partner will throw a lower card than me in a suit causing me to take a book; then the next hand throw an ace or king. The opposing team somehow “instinctively” knows their partner is either out of a certain suit, has the next highest card in a suit or the highest spade and will throw accordingly. If it were humans I’d cause them of cheating or being psychic. Out of 20 games - not hands, games- I might win one. I play at hard level but it doesn’t matter which level you play at the ai still plays the same. Very frustrating. Developers need to look at this and make better ai response..Version: 5.20
✓ ACan you please stop the IA single player partner from taking unnecessary tricks. It is ridiculous as game bags play an intricate part of the game..Version: 5.7
✓ RiggedTerrible game, stacked cards against those who leave bad reviews and complain to them about their rigged game. you get better cards if you opt out of their ads and that’s a fact..Version: 5.26
✓ Chat Ban!This game is actually fun and one of the better spades apps but of course there is a set back. People you play can report you randomly and without reason. Sometimes people trash talk but it generally isn’t that serious. The problem is people can report you and say anything they want. There is no moderator or any review of the reports that are sent. Needless to say that leads to people no longer being able to communicate with eachother or their partner during a game. So if you enjoy playing with someone and would like to play with them again in the future there is no way to contact them once you’ve been banned from chat. If reports could be moderated or were reviewed I’d rate this game a lot higher. Unfortunately, due to the chat bans this game hands out all the time I’d say invest your time in another spades app, at least until they start to moderate or review their chat policy..Version: 5.36
✓ Partner is worthless at timesThis game is user friendly but your partner does very dumb things, mostly when you go nil. When I go nil or bn, my partner almost always spades another suit with his HIGHEST spade and then plays lower spades when the suit is actually led. I get set often because of this. Also, he leads with low cards even though he is holding higher ones. For instance, he recently led with an 8, but later on played the Ace in the same suit. Furthermore, it is extremely hard to set opponents because they bag all the time. But on the other hand, my partner will not get his bid about 40% of the time. If the developer responds with “The computer partner plays his best card”, it’s not true. I’ve been playing spades a very long time and know he could be a lot better..Version: 5.23
✓ Good but deals are fixedFixed deal you win or lose on the deals pointless really Nice to see they are losing players..Version: 5.2
✓ Wow… partner?If you know anything about spades, at all… think about what would have you screaming across the table at your partner. In this game your partner will do ALL of that stuff! All of it… they didn’t miss a thing. Unpredictable bidding… check. Saving your opponents nil hands? Check! Overbooking like crazy to set you back, sometimes three times in a game… YUP! Not protecting you on a nil hand… oh yeah! Throwing spades to pull all yours so you can’t make bid… of course! Sometimes he underbids by seven books!! Then on the next hand he can’t make his three. My partner in this game has wasted all his spades catching hands, got my nil set, AND got us set back for overbooks all in one hand. All of that stuff… I could write off to terrible programming except your opponents make mistakes like that once in a blue moon. Lastly, it is readily apparent that your opponents know what you have in your hand. As an illustration, I bid a nil and have one ace in my hand that’s protected by at least two low cards. The guy to my left leads that suit and takes the book twice in a row and throws his last card of that suit to pull my ace… but the guy on my right is out and doesn’t drop a spade even though my partner is winning the book, and they’re in a pinch to make bid? Sure… I keep looking for another spade game. The commercials are nonstop too… don’t waste your time..Version: 5.24
✓ Dumb, dumb, dumb AI players.To be called Artificial Intelligence players they first must be programmed with a at least a tiny bit of intelligence. They are not. Not by a long shot. Especially not for Spades. Learn the game before you program one so badly!!! THIS GAME SUCKS!!!.Version: 5.14
✓ Partner Intentionally LosesVery nice graphics and user interface, too bad the people building the playing engine were so incompetent. They had to resort to making your partner a double agent who sabotages your results. Card dealing is not random either. I finally deleted the app when my “partner” intentionally took a trick on a nil bid (I lead a 6, he played a 7 even though he had a 2)..Version: 4.34
✓ Was good but gone downWas a very good game, good site but now there are way to many ads popping up inbetween games,.Version: 4.28
✓ HorribleCant block players, way too many players who stalls..Version: 5.14
✓ Great app, but AIs and adds are terribleThis is a great app to play spades with friends when you are not all together. Disappointed that you cannot trade a card for blind nill and first round is not led with lowest club, but otherwise game play is the same. The chat feature is fun and useful. Biggest complaints are the overwhelming amount of adds, between each round, and the horrible game play by the AIs. My partner dropped out of the game, the ai bids nill and then throws a spade on an off-card hand? The programming for game play on these characters needs some serious improvement. Only real way to play is with people you know. Playing with other real people is decent, but some people are terrible and you never know who you will get paired with. A feature to be able to block players or add friends and improvement of the AIs would improve game play 100 fold. An option to pay for no adds and unlimited tokens would be smart too..Version: 5.2
✓ Would be 5 Star but.........Like many other reviews say this game is addicting and awesome. I don’t even mind the matchmaking settings. The problem with this game is like many other games PEOPLE partners get set once and instantly big Nil or 13 then Quit. Easily resolve 90% of this by....... implementing a higher rank loss for bidding 13 and Nil of the person doesn’t hit their hand. For those of us who hit their hands without getting set even on a loss give us points. Even 1+ for losing without missing a bid. It’s ridiculous that I have to be punished for others players rage bids then quitting. They get -10 I get -9!!!? Please figure out how to penalize people who get set regularly or bid nil or 13 and get set. It can’t be that hard of a fix and I’m tired of getting these types of players as my partners. Will easily change my rating to 5* if any attempt to fix is made thanks!.Version: 5.2
✓ Artificial StupidityI don't play multiplayer. I just play the computer. And I'm a bit thrown at how well the opponent AI plays yet my partner is a complete moron. If I set my partner to conservative it regularly underbids and we accumulate bags quickly. If I set my partner to normal it regularly overbids and can't catch its bid. In either case when our bid is met it won't throw off to force the other team to catch bags. The worst is it's behavior when I bid nil. I just played a game where I bid blind nil in a desperate attempt to win the game and I watched the cards very carefully. We were just a few tricks into the hand when my partner led with a 7 of diamonds and set me as I had an 8 as my lowest. I had already played a lower diamond in response to my opponent and my partner covered it. If my partner had no other diamonds it should have played a higher card in another suit (which it had). But just a few tricks later it played both a 10 and Jack of diamonds. If I played like that in real games I would never find a partner that would want to play with me. It's still the best one out there so far but it doesn't set a very high bar..Version: 4.5
✓ Offensive adsGet rid of the slot ads that are not family suitable. “King’s Throne. Game of Lust “ is upsetting..Version: 5.9
✓ RiggedThe game will boot your partner and replace with a bot who will make sure you lose so you’ll purchase more coins to play. It’s so obvious!!! Last game I played, had one hand left to win. The other team was over by 8 and we just needed 5 cards to win and make them go over by 2. My partner got booted, I bid 3, my new computer partner bids 1 when we only needed 2 more cards. The other team bids 0 and 3, which is a sure win and my computer partner throws down all aces, kings, queens, etc. Other team only goes over by 9 and wins the game. I’m deleting this app because this has happened too many times and it’s ridiculously obvious. Lost that game and guess what?! I was out of coins and needed to pay money to keep playing! What a shocker!! This money hungry crap takes the fun out of the game! Is it not enough that we have to see ads the entire time we play PLUS a commercial during each hand?? Guess not!.Version: 5.14
✓ Who is my real opponent?This used to be a great game but something changed in the A.I. You may have a short streak of wins but then, no matter how good a player you are, you will lose repeatedly, not because of bad hands but because 1) your partner is playing against you, 2) you seldom get an opportunity to play a zero hand and when you do you have about a one in five chance of making it, and 3) if you play well your opponents will get as many zero hands as they require to beat you. Can’t you just give us random card deals and let the play take it from there? I’m done..Version: 5.41
✓ Unfair game set upThis game is so rigged!!! If you are playing people with lower average it gives opponents cards advantage. Not like Real spades!!!!! So unfair….your only as good as yr cheats!!!!.Version: 5.36
✓ Game itself great but ads block youI have enjoyed playing this but have had to quit as some adverts are unable to be closed and then you are removed from game. Not worth my time so off to find an alternative.Version: 5.47
✓ Too many AdsI have played this game on this site for years and loved it, but not now. Since the new year I have been overwhelmed with ads, never before did I have ads. Support team have been trying to fix this and it has helped some, but still way to frustrating after every hand trying to get rid of the ads, I can now so not booted so often. But some how even my game name has been changed from Blue Jays to Daydreamer, how that happened I have no idea, didn’t even realize it for a few games. Also use to be if my tokens were gone in the Game Center I could log in with Facebook and play 10 games while my tokens built up again in the Game Center. That doesn’t happen any more, either game center or not at all..Version: 5.49
✓ CrapolaOn the hardest setting my partner went nil, then about 4 hands in cuts with a spade when it had other cards to throw away. Wow.Version: 5.5
✓ Great - But DatedThis is a great spades game - but the developers have not updated it in over 5 years and simply keep the servers running. A shame, as there is a loyal community here. Developers should think about bringing in new design - a weekly leader board, competitions, more ways to express emotion in game, new cards and table designs, events, special game modes, ranks ect. These things wouldn’t even be hard to implement and would increase the community of this game. Otherwise, the foundation of the game of a multiplayer spades game is here..Version: 5.47
✓ SpadesJe deteste cet app parce qu on peut pas jouer et decider avec qui on veut jouerso good buy spades pro .et en plus il decide des commentsires.Version: 5.9
✓ Solid but some glitches are inexcusableI have gotten used to the way the computer parter plays regular hands. Not how I would, but I accept that a computer might not see the game as me. But some of the way it plays when I have bid nil is inexcusable. When cutting a suit, it inexplicably cuts with its highest or 2nd highest spade, and no human would do something that dumb. That should be an easy fix. If I bid nil, cutting a different suit with the lowest spade is a no brainer. I cannot stress how many times I have lost because the computer partner has wasted a King of Spades cutting hearts and now can’t cover my highest spade because it only has a low spade. Another glitch is that when the computer partner bids nil, if it goes too long, it will randomly throw out a spade and cut a suit for no reason. It will have other non spades that it could have played instead but for some odd reason, it decides to play a spade and ends up taking a book. Maybe the algorithm says it’s likely I can cover, but that is not always the case and there’s NO REASON to gamble playing a spade when you bid a nil hand, unless you have no choice. To be fair, I have won many games because the computer opponent sometimes does this. But this glitch should be fixed..Version: 5.21
✓ Very buggy when I’m winning????I really do like this game. It’s laggy and disconnecting issues are getting very annoying and unbearable. Add to this the lack of some sort of chat. Or after winning or losing you can elect to keep your partner. I seem to draw some non spade playing partners who think nil is I don’t have any spades I’m nil is a complete bidding option. I can’t not chose them. I’ve played with so many like this that when we do win I should be rewarded more for that miracle my partner went nil with a king spade and three hearts one is an ace. Definitely not nil. I’m going to rate this with 2 stars only because it’s still spades. It needs more options for play. Still Still Why does it place so many ads in the game. I’m not going to download an app when its intrusive advertisement gets me booted from the game. Win or Lose. It’s maddening and getting me closer to deleting it..Version: 5.37
✓ Stupid, ultra stupid AISpades is a game I enjoy to kill the time BUT, the Artificial Intelligence, is definitely sub par. When you go for a zero hand, your partner doesn’t always play a card to beat yours. Just happened to me again...... The sandbags are something that happen from time to time but Come On!!!!! When I bid zero my “partner” should ALWAYS throw a card to beat mine when it is available...that definitely needs fixed....I do seriously question the deals also, it seems that most of the time I find the cpu opponents consistently get better hands. It makes the game challenging but unfair nonetheless. Fix the zero hand issue and the game would be immensely better, then at least you can make up for getting weaker deals consistently. Two stars, no more without an update that fixes the problem..Version: 4.15
✓ Player reporting inaccurateI have played this game for years and I have always liked it despite a few flaws. However, recently they have added a feature allowing players to report one another’s abuse. The problem is that you get reported for doing nothing. Example, if someone doesn’t like your profile picture, they will report you. If your user name is associated with someone or something they don’t like they will report you, then without any investigation of the matter, your ability to talk to other players is disabled for a few days. This has happened to me twice. I literally changed my profile picture to a cartoon because I think people just report someone because they don’t like their race. I may find another app to play on. I miss the old days on Yahoo Spades..Version: 5.15
✓ Too many sore losers I the communityI had been looking a long time for a spades game with human opponents, and was really excited to find this game. (Much more interesting then playing the computer) Unfortunately that is basically what almost every game becomes. Every game someone bids nill on the first round, then if they miss, both they and their partner bail/quit 3 hands into the first round and you end up playing the computer. (Frequently the computer battles back and sometimes even wins, but what’s the point in playing human opponents if they quit the second they aren’t in the lead. I almost feel bad scoring the software developers based on the player community, but it is within their control to penalize the score/rating of players that habitually quit the second they are not in the lead, or even block them..Version: 5.26
✓ AI is terribleI’ve tried the single and multiplayer games multiple times. On single player, the AI is terrible. It constantly leads with spades that more often than not results in the opponent “running spades” and eliminating my ability to cut. Why is it programmed to lead with spades EVERY TIME if all the AI has are low level spades or only a couple? Also, when the opponent goes nil... the AI partner never tries to set them. There have been a few times that I’ve set it up to where the opponent has to play a high card in a suit just to have the AI cut the book. I’ve played spades a long time. There are few people that I know that make nil such a big part of the rules. Where are the blind 6, 10 for 200, 4 book minimum bid, and jokers as wild cards options? Those are bigger displays of skills than the nil... which is just trying to go lower than the cards played. On multiplayer, not sure what you can do but it’s annoying to play with folks that stall/take too long to play. Either be in a position to devote your attention to playing or don’t play..Version: 4.15
✓ Throw The Whole App Away!!!!I downloaded this app less than 24 hours ago and will be uninstalling. My partner and I were winning and there was a racist jerk on the team who became upset he was losing. He than began to tabletalk actually telling his partner what to play and harassing me. I clicked on his profile trying to report the issue and/or block the player and there was not an option to do either. I emailed the developer detailing the experience and suggesting the option be added to the app to report, block players etc. I received a response from the developer whose name is Jason. His response consisted of thanking me for emailing about the AI of the game and that he was sorry I had a bad experience with the "AI". My email had nothing at all to do with the AI of the app. It seems like he just clicked a random auto response and used it to reply to me without even taking the time to read the actual email I sent. I know that developers cannot control actions of other players but they do have control of the level of appreciation(or lack thereof) that they show their supporters. This has been a terrible experience and I refuse to support an app(rather free or not) whose developers show no appreciation or concern for their users..Version: 4.5
✓ Computer AI needs workLost count of the number of games I lose because the computer AI makes illogical decisions. You need the AI to into account the score in the game (e.g going for a nil bid when we only need 3 tricks to win and holding an Ace of a suit in their hand) as decisions when the game is in the balance are different opposed to when you only need a low score to win. Is a hard enough game to win anyways without the computer AI making it worse..Version: 5.14
✓ Computer is an idiotI thought computers were supposed to be smart. The computer for this app is an absolute idiot. I’ve seen them take unnecessary bags, cut with the ace as opposed to a lower spade when their partner bid nil, play a 2 of club instead of the ace of club when trying to cover a nil, et cetera. They do not seem to understand the concept of throwing off, so they don’t accumulate unnecessary bags. Instead, they play as if the goal is to earn as many bags as possible. Also, I’ve seen the computer nil and throw off the 2 of clubs when they had to throw off the ace of clubs. The computer also doesn’t know how to bid! Both teams could be tied at 499 with 8 bags. If the computer is the last to bid, they will not bid to win the game and they will not play “more” or “less” aggressive, in trying not to get bags or force the other team to get bags. This app could be great but the computer leaves a lot to be desired... wish that I could rate it zero stars....Version: 4.5
✓ Horrible! Do not downloadI thought it was a free app game to kill time. Horrible.Version: 5.15
✓ Look after your playersOK, you guys have great game apps, and we all know you need to moneterise your app, so we all put up with your paid adverts to play your above average games. Unfortunately it’s now getting to a ridiculous point where the time it takes me to click through your paid advertisement now takes so long that I AM CONTINUOUSLY BEING BOOTED FOR SUPPOSED INACTIVITY!. This means that my level rankings are decreasing due to,your stupid advertisements and algorithms. Fix it or your gone! It’s now getting even worse with ads appearing in the middle of game play so I can’t actually see what cards have been played and who and why the trick was won. Absolutely ridiculous. You have ruined what was previously a very good and entertaining game..Version: 5.47
✓ Booted out for no reasonWhy you boot me out when I was in the game the whole time. I love the game but gosh..stop booted me out when I’m actually in the game. Your ads plays and what an I supposed to do cause I have to wait till the x tap comes up. And your point taking seems a bit sus sometimes too. And you need more words for the chat..Version: 5.41
✓ Ads have ruined this gameI had really been enjoying this game. Played it daily. Recently the length of the ads has stopped the enjoyment. 1 particular ad is so long that I get booted from the game I’m in for inactivity the ad never displays the exit x to get back to the game. It’s happened so many times now I’ve decided to quit playing the game.Version: 5.21
✓ RuinedWas once an excellent Spades app But since removing all ability to interact, game attracts all the immature morons - whose idiotic behaviour cannot now be criticised... and not even a blacklist Avoid!.Version: 5.21
✓ Not a bad iteration of this classicBut I have to wonder about behind the scenes shenanigans, though. The oppponents always hit their bid targets, rarely going over or underbidding. Also, I can’t find a way to kill the ads. They cover the playing screen and it’s annoying..Version: 5.6
✓ I.A. Is idiotTrying to take a nil is crazy with I.A. who doesn’t play to cover you. Next....Version: 5.5
✓ Fun but rubbish partnerI enjoy this game a lot but there are two issues that annoy me. 1. The other player/bid partner is poorly programmed to be an inept useless player of the game and makes bids that cannot be achieved and undermines my effort to meet my bids too! This is on every setting for them and for the game....very annoying. 2. Adverts. Ads are between every game and on a banner bar on top. The top one occasionally contains flashing and flickering images which are horribly distracting and cannot be ignored. The end of every hand game is ok apart from one religious one whi h I personally find offensive and I don't think its an advert it looks like its written by the programmers..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Annoying adsToo many ads n banner.Version: 4.34
✓ Need to fix matchingThe game itself is good and the rating system is usually a good indication of the skill level of your partner. That being said matching players with a large difference between their ratings is not fair to the person with the higher rating. For example a player with a low rating may not understand some of the nuances of the game, because they have never actually played it in person. There should be an option to refuse the match for those who wish to have a competitive game that is not sabotaged by poor play such as bidding nil with 4 spades. Understanding that there’s situations for that but that’s the exception and not the norm. Developers: expect a crappy review each time I get matched with a player who doesn’t understand the basics of the game. Matching players that’s are hundreds of points apart in ratings isn’t fair to the player with the higher rating..Version: 5.26
✓ Skip itHere is the problem with this app when u play for ranking u get paired with a terrible player they bid 9 and get 4 then leave the game. I stick out the game and I lose points. I also hate that it’s easy to get a nil hand some games are over in two rounds because a player can get two nils. The app should not give so many points for a nil in a game to 250. It’s fine if it’s a friendly game to 500 but I game to 250 nil should be worth half the points if the ai gifts one team a win the other team shouldn’t lose points because no play they could have made will help them. The ap should also allow you the ability to tell they system if you never want to be paired with that partner again at games end. Last the ai is messed up you could be winning big and the ai will step in and help the losing side does this all the time. If I play with the computer because my partner left I should not lose points most of the time the computer is dumber than some of the players on here. The ai is seriously flawed.Version: 5.22
✓ SpadesOH this is so frustrating. For gawd sake. Fix the damn glitch that causes me not to get dealt cards after every other commercial. Happened twice in two matches This is ridiculous. Commercials are bad enough, but I tolerate them. But to then fail to entirely reconnect bac to the harm and deal me in. That’s a damn joke..Version: 5.9
✓ Ads not suitableRemove the ads for religion..Version: 5.41
✓ It’s okay BUTThis is a okay game with some serious issues. Here’s a list of a few 1- players are not well ranked and are often poor partners who make big mistakes that costs you. 2- players are allowed to drop out of the game after they screwed it up without penalty or consequence. 3- when players drop out of game bot takes over and their play is often as bad as beginners which again costs you. Very frustrating!!! 4- periodically the game locks up and you are booted or entire game is lost. 5- players who bail out of a game prematurely should be penalized for that action, regardless of whether the team wins or loses the game. Especially if they don’t make their bid or take a point on a Nill bid. There partner shouldn’t be left holding their trash bag. 6- some players are so slow in playing their cards. I understand once in awhile people get distracted but not every turn. It makes the game unenjoyable for other players. 7- often you can bid your hand perfectly but your partner over bids or doesn’t make their bids which resulted in you losing the game even when you play was spot on. Credit should be given for well played hands regardless of your partners poor play..Version: 5.21
✓ BarneyWas really liking the game until recently an ad for Disney's Superman on Foxtel came up & there is no way of bypassing or getting out of it. I shut it down for a day, go back into a new game & a couple of hands in & it is back again. At the moment wouldn't recommend it.Version: 2.5.1
✓ Good Card Game pitty about the addsI am really enjoying this game i do like to be able to pick the level of play and opponents. At first i didn't understand the scoring but there is a link to a Wikia page that explains it. The adverts at the close of every hand is driving me nuts and for that reason the 3 stars today. In-ap purchases do not have an option to turn off advertising there has to be a way or I will have to give up and look for a game of spades without continual full screen adds..Version: 2.3
✓ Encouraging pedophiliaThey are accepting publicity from a site that is clearly encouraging pedophylia.Version: 5.8
✓ AI partner is infuriating!The AI partner is more of a liability than it’s worth. As soon as a player breaks spades, the AI empties all the spades in its hand, wiping out any advantage you might have had on a broken suit. For example: I have the 10, 5, 6, and 3 of spades, and only one heart. Once I play the heart, and break spades, instead of feeding out hearts to take advantage of it, my “partner” will start throwing all its high spades, wiping me out, and often losing itself by playing a king before the ace has been revealed. In a normal game, I might be able to pick up a couple of tricks before the other players break. One time, this exact scenario happened and I assumed the AI had also run out of the suit. Nope. Once all the spades were exhausted, out pops a 5 of hearts. The opposing AIs seem to understand this premise just fine. I’ve learned to cut my bid as a result. The AI is also streaky in its bidding, going through stretches where it will do things like bid 3 or 4 and get zero, with nothing in its hand to justify the bid. Other times it will rake in hand bags in bunches. Restarting the app is the quickest way to get it back on track..Version: 5.21
✓ UnplayableAI is awful in this game.Version: 5.5
✓ 5 star for the app but 0 because annoying adsOf course advertisements are revenue but annoying ads really get you booted from the game between rounds! I have given 5 stars for this app in the past!!.Version: 5.22
✓ Used to be a good appThis is no longer the top Spades app for a reason. It let’s literally anyone join “the round table” competitive table, including completely incompetent, zero common sense having, players who completely waste everyone’s time who legitimately enjoy playing this game. There is zero chance these morons have a career win percentage higher than 20%. So when you tell the person they play like an amateur, they repot you and the app suspends your chat privileges indefinitely instead of doing anything about players who intentionally tag bags or go nil with King and Queen of spades. Their AI isn’t much better. Bids 1 with two aces and a King. There’s never any lag, it boots players who take too long, but it’s very frustrating dealing with players who don’t have an ounce of common sense at the most competitive table and the app refuses to do anything about it..Version: 5.15
✓ Lousy Computer PartnerThe computer needs to learn the game better. Worst partner ever..Version: 5.47
✓ CheatsHave been playing this for a while but getting a bit sick of the amount of ads and the fact opposition bids have no relation to the hands they play and the player to my left always seems to have the A to my K even when they have played a lower same suit card on the previous hand. 🤔.Version: 4.34
✓ Option to play in non team modeSo playing single player results in you being teamed up with a "Smart AI" partner, who sometimes insists on bidding blind nil and giving it's team, meaning you, a 200 point penalty. Either increase the intelegence of the AI partner or give us the option of playing solo. (4 against 4).Version: 5.32
✓ Horrible partners!The game itself is great and addicting but it gets very aggravating because the partners in solo mode are absolute idiots. I bid nil and invariable my partner leads a two or four. the opponents bid nil, and my partner plays his highest cards. he plays a higher card or overtrumps my tricks when he plays last and then we don't make our bid because he has used up his good cards to take tricks I would have won. he always plays his highest trump the first chance he gets, even when he is the last player and a low trump would win the trick. doesn't matter if you configure your partner conservative, regular, or aggressive--they don't know how to play the game! UPDATE: This game gets NO stars! Rather than improving the AI partners, they get worse and worse. They have no idea how to bid--often bid 1 with 2-3 aces--and seem to think the goal of the game is to get as many bags as possible. They wait until the other team makes it's bid, then grab as many extra tricks as possible. Can't make it through a whole game without losing at least 100 points for 10 bags. I'm so aggravated by the poor play, this app will be uninstalled as soon as this review appears..Version: 4.19
✓ Having a Partner is more like opponentOverall the game play is fine and it does what it is supposed to. There are no lags. I like to play solo (AI version). So this review is based on that. I have the free version and honestly couldn’t find a paid version, if that would make a difference. The biggest, most frustrating part of the game is your team player. It is like you are playing alone but have to also suffer poor decisions of partner. Here are some examples. 1. Going nil: I went nil. Yes it was a stretch, but it was just a game. My partner also went nil. So that means there is no way we could cover for each other. 2. Covering Partner: In real play, a partner would cover their teammate if it were a possible move. I went Nil. A suit was called that I had to play and it was only a mid range number. My partner, who was NOT going nil, threw a card less than mine so I won the trick cost our team 100 points. Turns out, they had the Ace of that suit. I could go on with examples like this where having a partner was worse than being a single player. Even if I could sort of get the first scenario, the second made no sense. If it was smart enough to know it didn’t have to over play because the partner had it, it should be smart enough to know the bid was nil and it shouldn’t use that tactic. Every time I play I get frustrated for those reasons. I got over the fact you couldn’t count on the partner. But final straw was when it bid nil when I already had..Version: 5.8
✓ UpdateAfter numerous emails back-and-forth they still refuse or admit there’s an issue with the game in my opinion it just goes to prove that they’re not interested in consumer they just would like you to pay the money.Version: 5.14
✓ It’s a problemNot big into leaving reviews but I need to get this off my chest. The AI, that is your partner, in this game is a complete idiot. I mean REALLY?!? The way this “computer” plays the hand is absolutely obnoxiously ignorant!! The game itself is fun and easy to play but when I have to consider the idiotic plays that my “partner” will make when bidding then it truly takes away from all the good the game has to offer. Fix this please!! This AI is driving me nuts. The game plays well but the stupidity of the computer is overwhelming and ruins the game completely!!! I can’t say enough negative things about the computer play!! UPDATE: I just deleted this App!!! The Stupidity!! of the AI takes ALL the fun out of this game. Thank You to the developers for not charging $$ for any part of this game because that would have been a legit CRIME!! I wish I could slap the guy that programmed this game!! I really, REALLY do!!!.Version: 5.36
✓ FrustratedHave got increasingly frustrated with this game. The programming is totally biased towards the computer win..Version: 5.40
✓ This app is now very badI used to love this app. I would play it almost every day. Now, however, I cannot stand it. Believe me or not, I don’t care, this game is designed to cheat. Every single time that I put the AI in a position to have something negative happen, there is always something to counter act the negative. If the AI is going to have 10 bags, it gets either a really big hand for its partner or an actual 10 to make the negative mean nothing. When my AI partner bids a 0, I can back it up and hold up on my end. BUT, if I bid a 0 my AI “partner” can NEVER seem to back me up. There have even been times where I bid 0 and my partner bids high and we get set as well as I make a book. We lose 150+. This has happened MANY times. It is almost like clockwork. This used to be an enjoyable app. Not anymore. Every time I play it is almost a guaranteed disappointment because of the AI always being slanted to win. It wasn’t like this before. I don’t even feel like I have a chance to win. The random things that happen are absolutely ridiculous and make the game very frustrating to say the least. This is the longest review I have ever written as well as one that I never thought I would have to write. But it IS warranted. This app is one of the apps I always made sure was installed on my phone. NOT ANYMORE. I don’t need the frustration and disappointment..Version: 4.6
✓ Ranking and Quit PenaltiesI really enjoy this game. I have been playing for quite a while but the ranking matched games need to change. I most of the time get matched with a partner whose rank is considerably lower than my own and they have no idea what they are doing and it costs me the game and a big hit on my ranking. And now the developers have decided that if you abandon too many games, there is a 24 hour wait before playing again. It is very frustrating when you have to play with a considerably lower ranked person and they cause you to lose. Please consider doing something with the rank matches. If there is no one in my rank level at the time I choose to play, then let it be my choice to not play at that time. I will continue to abandon a game when matched with an incompetent partner..Version: 5.41
✓ Got kicked from rated game because of advertisingThis is very bad. An ad came up between hands on a rated game and there was no option to leave the ad and go back to the game. This is BS and the developers of this game should be ashamed..Version: 4.34
✓ Two Major IssuesProblem 1. Most of the players are impatient, aggressive, and often stupid to boot. If I don’t play exactly the cards they want they become abusive. Nobody can see others’ cards so how can they criticise how I play? Admittedly this isn’t the developer’s fault. Problem 2. And this IS the developer’s fault. The ads we are forced to endure between hands have become longer and longer to the point that by the time I get back my opponents are sending “hurry ups “ and even the system is saying “hey, it’s your turn “ I’m also sick of how slow the game is and the number of players who quit as soon as they miss their bids. I loved playing this game for ages but I have now deleted it. OK, rant over..Version: 4.32
✓ A jokeI’ve been playing on this app since 2017. I play the rated version with real people and up until the last year or so, everything has been fine. But over the past year, they way the multiplayer is set up has become increasingly frustrating. You get punished for the dumbest things. Like I get being “punished” for quitting a game that you’re losing but at the same time there are people that will purposely make bad plays, but I get punished for not sticking around when they are clearly sabotaging the game. And the more you “quit” the more the algorithm will purposely match you with lower rated players as “punishment.” but what about punishing the other end? People will literally bid 0 and purposely win books to make you lose 100 points and nothing happens to them. My rating was in the 2000s and I quit 1 game because a lower rated player that was my partner just went off the rails making purposely dumb plays and now my rating has dropped to the 1600s and can’t get back up because I keep getting matched with partners that have THE lowest ratings. It literally makes no sense. And I can’t even delete my profile and start over. Like literally WHO CARES IF SOMEONE QUITS THE GAME?! I find myself HOPING that my partners will quit, because the AI partner is better than a real person..Version: 5.22
✓ Best spades app, but that’s not saying much.From what I’ve seen this is the best spades app as far as visually and game play but there are just some really bad ones out there. What kills me about this app is there is no real accountability for players conduct. Most people are good but there are some that are just terrible and if you quit you get punished like children. You should be able to have a “friends list” and be able to play with or against those friends. You should be able to choose who you want to play with or against by looking at stats such as how many quits they have and their ranking. Also the ranked game has only one type of game, first to 250 and no double nils, you can’t freely chat, only has stupid phrases to choose from that don’t make sense. MSN Zone website did it best. Unfortunately that is no longer around, but please find out what they did and try to duplicate. The app would be so much better. I’ll be back in 24 hours after my punishment is over because I quit after my opponent kept bidding 13 and wasting my time, once again..Version: 4.5
✓ Too many ads!Wwwaaayyy too many ads and the length of some of them is ridiculous. I know you need to make money, but the volume keeps me from wanting to play..Version: 4.34
✓ THIS APP IS A F IN JOKEThe tittle says it all, what a joke this site is.Version: 5.46
✓ Booted during adsI love the game play on this app. I don’t pay to play free games on my phone, so I understand that seeing ads will be part of my experience. Unfortunately, they play ads in between hands (during rated games) that either can’t be exited or take so long to play that you get booted from the game. This is unbelievably frustrating. On average, I get booted once every 15 games or so. After working my way up over 2300 rating, it has become unacceptable to get booted from important games. I will also say the amount of angry players that act like they’ve never busted or got a bag in their life is ridiculous. There should be a 100 point rating deduction for players that: 1. Bid nil and lead with an ace 2. Bid nil with the ace of spades or 3. Intentionally overbid by four or more books than you get. Salty players should be penalized. If not for these two issues, it would be an easy five star rating. Not sure how much longer I will play this game without correcting them..Version: 5.21
✓ CheatersSo many cheaters on this game! And if you duck out too many times then you are out of the game and the cheaters stay in. Go figure! Very frustrating to say the least..Version: 5.22
✓ UnfairWhy is it when you win you or your partner are not scored the same? And why when you score it’s just a random number of points given it should always be 10 points given to both winners and yes the quitters should lose 50-100 points at a time maybe they would think about it more.Version: 5.5
✓ Poor AIThe online component of this game is very enjoyable. Sadly the AI players are not particularly intelligent and will make strange decisions. For example, my partner was last on a trick and chose not to duck under just to make their bid, even though it would have caused a nil-bidder to win a trick and I had already taken an overtrick..Version: 4.15
✓ Lack of Integrity Affecting Win/Loss StatsI love everything about the game and the feeling of a real spades game experience EXCEPT that players are able to abandon game table during the game. It is rude and a lack of integrity on player’s behalf when they play a bad hand, receive a bad hand, or jam up their partner and are able to just walk away and leave their player to deal with the consequence which include receiving a loss on their game statistics. The abandoning of the game by players is happening during almost every game is disruptive, unfair, and takes away the opportunity for us to play a strategic game of spades with real users from beginning to end. Please remove the ability for players to leave the game table after the game has begun!!!.Version: 5.40
✓ Computer partner bids nil, then trumps tricks unnecessarilyThis game would be a lot of fun if not for the fact that your computer partner frequently spades tricks—even when it has other suits available to play—after it has bid nil, thereby costing your team 100 points for absolutely no good reason whatsoever. I have complained to the support staff about this, and received a totally lame reply: “I’m sorry you’re frustrated with how the AI chooses to play sometimes. Please know that the AI works very hard to make the best play it can, but sometimes doesn’t see the same moves a human would.” But this is not a case of an AI “not seeing the same move a human would”—this is a flat-out flaw in the programming. If the AI can’t play a nil hand the way a nil hand should be played, it shouldn’t be able to bid nil, plain and simple. In short, your computer partner will shoot you in the foot, because it is not programmed to play the game properly, making this game very frustrating to play..Version: 4.15
✓ Great app for learning spades, but it’s got flawsI downloaded this app because I wanted to learn how to play spades, and I didn’t want to have to sit and watch people play it and explain everything to me. After a couple of weeks, I learned all the basics and started to pick up some strategies, handily destroying the easy and medium AI’s. Wanting more of a challenge, I switched the difficulty to hard AI. That’s when the cracks started to show. Hard AI doesn’t change up any of its strategies as the other two difficulties, instead it just cheats and knows all of the cards in everyone’s hands. It will bid blind zero when it knows it’s hand is unbeatable, always winning. Also, if you bid zero, it will make every player lead the one suit that will trip you up. Even YOUR partner will lead a card that every other AI can get under except you, like it’s 3 against 1 instead of 2v2. At first I thought it was just really bad luck, but after having so many zero bids scrapped due to a partner throwing under me, or maybe just being short suited and that suit never being played, it’s pretty obvious that “hard” mode is just the AI looking at your hand while you can’t see theirs. It’s a great app for picking up spades, but play with real people when you want a challenge. I played online a little with this game, but most of the time the other players would just stop playing halfway through a game, and then you’d be playing AI’s again..Version: 5.41
