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.Show lessAustin Son
Cheaters ruin it
Pay for coins twice now in one month, and immediately enter long time losing streak. Even had a guy bail the the robot replacing him lost. Can you say rigged???
This is a good game. Unfortunately it is so overwhelmed with cheaters and idiots, it ruins the fun. People create fake accounts and deliberately lose when partnered so the real account can win (happens often). Or idiots bid nil expecting partners to cover a hand that’s better than you have. It’s insane. It happens over and over again. Something to work on to make the game fun for those who just want to come in and play a good game. I left once before for this reason. I came back a few months ago and nothing has changed. Hope you fix it before legitimate users refuse to play.Show lessMst1217
Horrible algorithms
Update: played this game for a long time, went as high as 2143 rating, played and beat players above 2600… then all of a sudden im 1590 and cant get back up no matter what… you do the math.
Computer AI logic of disseminating cards is elementary to say the least. It's at a point where you can predict the cards if you play it long enough and its always the same old boring thing. At least mix it up a little I would say.... Computer also bans players if they leave games...that being said, you can get a 24 hour ban or worst if you choose to leave games where your partners are clearly losing on purpose. Not sure whos great idea the ban thing was but its really frustrating to be forced to play with losers or face being banned... Not sure which is worst...hence I chose to delete. My suggestion? - don't even go through the trouble of downloading the game, there are plenty other spade games out there. This one is a waste of time.Show lessMikeMusho

Thank you for providing your review. We are sorry to see that your experience with us hasn't been a good one. Please be assured that the game is fair, and deals are random. Because our players count on everyone staying to finish a game, the system will first give a warning message and short time penalty if a player is first to leave. We appreciate having your feedback, and we will share it with our developers.Cream of the Crap
If 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.Show lessSammamishCliff
Fun for Single Player
Love Spades! The computer isn't programmed to take bags into consideration. Multiplayer is very slow. Nice that it works in airplane mode (single player). I fly a lot & it gives me something to do! I really wish that the AI programming was better. If I play a game and specifically try only to get the tricks I bid, I lost about 80-85%of the games. I have to also play my AI partner hand to win. Also, if my AI partner and I are way ahead in a game, many times it seems as though my AI player “throws” the game. For example..bidding 6 tricks and taking 1-3 tricks. I can only assume it is to give the impression that the AI team is better programmed than it actually is!Show lessDCC'71
Good Game, Could Be Better
Great user interface, easy to use, fun. The one thing that would take this app from good to great is if you got more points for winning than negative points for losing. There are some instances on rated games where I’ll end up winning a hand and go up 8-10 points and then lose the next hand and go down 8-10 points (or sometimes more than if I won). I understand it’s based on the rankings of the other players in the game but just as a general rule of thumb I think your consequence for losing should never be equal to or greater than the reward for winning. Creates a feeling that you aren’t going anywhere in your rank. My style of scoring system still creates groups of more skilled players towards the top end, but it should make it a little easier to get out of the 1700s/1800s.
PLEASE FIX THE POINT VALUES FOR WINNING AND LOSING. I went up 8 for winning and then went down 10 for losing the next game when my partner LEFT. You should ALWAYS go up more for winning than for losing, regardless of the rating of the other players. You should go up 7-10 points if you win (based on the rating of who you beat) and go back 3-6 points for losing (based on the rating of who you lost to). Very frustrating, have been stuck in the 1700’s for months because of bad partner play. One step forward, two steps back.Show lessTTYLlol69

Thank you for taking the time to provide your review and share your feedback with us. Our developers are always working on ways to improve the game experience, and they appreciate having your insight. Thank you for playing!Need to fix matching
The 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.Show less$--gymnasticsgurl--$
Too many sore losers I the community
I 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.Show lessdisappointed 85(6
Fun but…
I really enjoy this game but the ads have to be x’d out of during each hand and if you don’t do it quickly enough you get booted from the game. Also the ads keep freezing and sometimes the x never shows up and you get booted. Wish there was a rated game that you can play blind nil. Also in unrated there used to be an option to boot players in your room which worked well. You aren’t forced to play with someone with an offensive name or someone who is rude or spam and keeps following you into games. Lastly there should be an option where you can pre select your card so that it automatically plays on your turn and each player’s last card automatically plays. It would make the game move faster and also a lot of players don’t play the last round and you’re stuck waiting until they get booted. Otherwise it’s my favorite version of spades out there the games are just enough points. The customizable features make the game fun tooShow lessnoni muse

Thank you for your 5-star review. It's great to see that you've been enjoying the game! We are sorry for the frustration the ads are causing. There should be a way to close each ad quickly, and they shouldn't cause you to be booted from the game. Please feel free to let us know about any ads by going to Help - Report a Problem and we're glad to assist. We will share your suggestions with our team as well. Your comments allow us to make our games even better, and we really appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing!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.Show lessAdMan_eleventy7
