### 3/5 — AD-free only option?

*2026-07-11, version 3.16.2*

Would give the game 5 stars but losing two just for not having an option to removed ads. Having it only in the subscription and not having a one time only payment is messing up the game for me. The ads are annoying.

### 1/5 — Glitching

*2026-07-04, version 3.16.2*

I love this app but it glitches soooooooo bad!!! Please fix!!!! Can’t find friends, kicks you out the game, you’ll be in ads for so long you can’t bid etc….please fix

### 3/5 — Bought vip , doesn’t work

*2026-06-17, version 3.16.2*

The gameplay is cool. Lots of ads so i bought vip. It doesn’t work. I’ve tried restoring the purchase but it still isn’t working

### 1/5 — Makes sence

*2026-06-11, version 3.16.2*

The reason that your score is so low on the reviews and being as you have very few people writing your game and your score is still really low is an indication that you should change some things like number one what does Black Spades even mean? I mean, states are always black unless you're trying to say that only Black people should play spades in which case I find out to be offensive and I'm a person of color. Secondly, if you think I'm gonna give you my personal information just so that I can play a spades game oh boo-boo you got another thing coming. Y'all don't even waste your time. This game is a joke.

### 2/5 — Major glitches

*2026-05-07, version 3.16.2*

1. About 20 percent of the time the app sets the bid for you, it can’t be changed, and it’s always impossible to make it so the app forces you to lose. 2. Half the time when you set the other team they get all their points anyway!!! Super upsetting! The digital partner either under or overbids by a lot, and they play their cards stupidly, making mistakes a human would not make, like leading with a king when they don’t have the ace and they have lower cards to play

### 1/5 — Never will play again

*2026-04-13, version 3.16.2*

Game is rigged. Your partner throws off when it should play a spade or over cut you when you have played a spade. The other team always have the jokers and deuces … This game is awful awful awful. Needs a zero rating

### 2/5 — Messed up a great hand

*2026-03-06, version 3.16.2*

Started a game after losing one in multiplayer. Tried adding friend and the word Inviting stayed on the screen until I closed the app. It let me play my hands but would not let me bid or anything to do with the middle of the screen. 

When I went looking for a place to report the bug, there was none. So I’m reporting it here.

### 4/5 — One change is necessary

*2026-03-01, version 3.16.2*

I enjoy the game. One change needs to be made to the algorithm; when the opposing team cuts a suit, the computer partner should not go back to that suit unless it’s the only play. I have experienced having a suit cut, and then when the computer partner plays, it plays the same suit that was cut even though it has other suits it can play; a human player would not go back to that cut suit unless that was the only play. Please alter the algorithm to play more like a human. Thx.

### 3/5 — Very Black, needs some tweaks

*2026-02-15, version 3.16.2*

The game and features are funny and make me feel like I’m sitting at the card table in somebody’s backyard. BUT there’s a problem where sometimes if I or my partner cut or outright win the book, it goes to the other team. I’ve also been penalized for reneging when playing what’s led. Would love the game even more if those links were worked out.

### 4/5 — The Ads

*2026-02-01, version 3.16.2*

I love the app and its concept. My ONLY problem is the ads are too long. After every game I had to watch an ad and the one that made me delete the app is the Royal Match ad…it was 117 seconds long!! Why? But other than that it’s pretty cool..
