Leave a Review Card Games by Bicycle
Almost perfect
I love all the games available on this app. I also love no ads🙌🏼 thank you. These are the things I would fix if I could.
I’d love to be able to arrange my own cards in Gin. Sometimes they place cards in a set instead of the run I wish to put them in. Also the scoring seems to always be off in spades after the first round is played. It shows your score given to the opponents or it shows you and your partner on different teams. It’s a bit confusing but always corrected by the end of the game. The problem I’m finding is so many players leave the game after the first round forfeiting. I believe they do this because they see the score is wrong.Show lessaceparlet

Hi aceparlet. We're glad to hear you enjoy the games and the ad-free experience. Thanks for the suggestions! Starting from update 1.22.10 the Spades scoreboard issue is resolved. Kind Regards, Card Games by Bicycle Dev Team.Forfeits; Bag Penalties; Ranked Play; Scoring, Stats, Invites
****Players when losing forfeit resulting in everyone getting 1 point or zero points.****Bags don’t mean anything since it’s the best 3 out of 4. Should be the first to 250 so bags are a factor. ****Should have negative points for not making bids. ****Ranked players gain 1 point for beating Unranked players but risk losing 15 points if they lose. Award 5 points for beating unranked players to make it worth a ranked player’s time. ****Can’t follow the score after each hand. The points are switched for each team and you can’t view the overall score / bags.*****Helpful to provide player stats such as: % of successful Nils, win percentage, average number of bags, quit percentage.*****Players in the queue should be able to invite friends to fill open slots.Show lessfhrvhxuanhfub

Hi, sorry to hear. We’ve been attempting to detect and punish cheaters that quit on purpose (by e.g. toggling the device to Airplane mode during games). Starting from version 1.22.7 all players that disconnect, for any reason, during a public game while a leaderboard season is active will receive a rating penalty. Kind Regards, The Bicycle TeamScores being applied to the wrong teams
Is anyone else experiencing an issue with scores in Spades being assigned to the wrong team at the end of each round? I have noticed that over the last two days the scoring is swapped! After each hand, the points are bing accumulated to the opposite team and vice verse. Kind of a big deal.. lol.
I thought I was mistaken when it happened yesterday, but it’s happened each time I’ve played!
Other than this bug, I do love the app! However, I agree with the other reviewers about the players who are intentionally forfeiting when they don’t like the hand they are dealt, or if they aren’t winning the round. It’s disruptive and kills my desire to play. There should be a penalty for forfeiting a game. And if they lose signal or reception, well that’s the nature of the game. I think we all can live with that policy being as the ladder scenario is far more inconvenient and highly common.Show less((WitchyWoman))

Thanks for reaching out. Starting from update 1.22.10 the Spades scoreboard issue has been fixed. Luckily it was a purely visual bug and all users still received their correct ratings on the leaderboards. Kind regards, Bicyclecards.com Customer Support.
