Programming needs improvement

The spades game is better in that they don't have silly characters and functions. What it could use is better programming. If I bid Nil, my partner should not take unnecessary tricks with a high spade and then make me constantly set. If my partner and I make our tricks and we cannot set the other team, the partner is not programmed to throw off their cards and would rather get bags and bag us out. If the partner sees I'm throwing away because we made our bid, they should throw away with me but they would rather get bags and bags. It's reminding me of my old Yahoo Games days where you're playing with newbies who don't know any strategy. There should also be an option to win by 500 regardless of the score. I was really enjoying this at first but can't get past my computer partner constantly losing the hands most of the time with plays that are obviously avoidable.

Love the challenge

While I love this game I wish I could get some info on the rules such as why do I sometimes get penalized by winning more than my bid but not other times.
But thanks for a great card game.

Horrible table awareness

Your partner is a moron everytime when you bid nil, your partner throws low cards even when they know you bid nil and they have a card that will stop you from failing the bid. Also when the other team bids nil the partner with throw high cards constantly when they have a card to break the opponent’s bid. Your partner will constantly cut your throat on the table and take books you already are gonna win. The partner also will not feed you suits your cutting. The partner also will over and under bid very often causing you to get set when you bid your hand right. I mean I like the mechanics of the game and I get you can’t have all these things perfect running with a computer partner, but the amount of mistakes the partner makes I’d be better off having my 2 year old throwing spades with me.

Too many ads andtheygo on for way too long. I will play this game for a while and then delete it because of the ads.

Absolutely Terrible Game

I have played this game many times because I love Spades, but my frustration with playing with a partner who is an imbecile with no understanding of the game has finally done it for me and I am looking for a different app. I have beaten the game over 90% of the time, but only because I set it to 750 to give me enough time to make up for my partner’s mistakes and have learned how to compensate for its terrible playing. None of the computer players are smart and it may be fine for a total beginner just learning the game, but my partner has no understanding of the bag rule or bidding or playing against nils. You have no idea how frustrating it is to smell out where the nil player has a problem only for your partner to trump when the nil player has the trick. And it neither covers you when you go nil or ever makes a nil since it will go nil on anything, even a two-card suit headed by a king, even when you are winning the game. I find myself constantly cussing my partner, which is of course ridiculous, but I am not sure how the programmer made my partner so dumb? And if the game is close, the computer has no understanding of scoring. For instance, in a situation where we have to bid 5 together or lose the game, it will bid 3 or 4 when combined with my bid so that you can turn the game off there. If I could give it zero stars I would.

Card can’t see

The cards are not visible cause the vip and the amount of card to pick sit right on top of the cars so you got to guess.n

Spades

I enjoy the game, but sometimes I don’t understand the bonus plus -100

Completely unauthentic

Rigged! Watched my so called partner deliversrely dump Aces and he fh cares to not make their bid for absolutely no reason! I wasn’t bidding zero. Never play again

Partner doesn’t adapt to the circumstances

The partner in this game doesn’t play like they are your partner. It doesn’t take tricks when it could when you go nil. Regardless of whether we took all our tricks it persists in taking all the tricks it can instead of getting rid of high cards once we got what we came for, so you end up with a lot of bags. The good news is you get good at playing with an inconsiderate partner lol. The only way it acts like a partner is most of the time if you will clearly take a trick, it will let you take it when it could. But it runs around leading spades with medium cards before you get your meld on the regular (unnecessarily - it still has other suits and it has all its tricks) and welp, there went your safety. It’s not always trying to upsell you, so that part is nice.
