## What is Bookbag?

We know that you know the right way to play Spades but sometimes your friend plays a little suspect. No matter what rules you play by, Bookbag has you covered. No pen? No problem. Still using a pen? Problem. Please join us in this 21st century so we can show them how get all the books in the bag, with Bookbag.


Rulesets

With over a dozen configuration options like score limit, nil bidding & more, you’ve just found your second partner. Hope there’s room at the table! Going to play somewhere else? Save and load anyone’s house rules with just a tap. Are we missing a rule? Contact us with feedback any time.

Scoring

Don’t risk miscalculation in front of other players. We’ve seen what can happen when auntie forgets how to carry her ones. Based on your selected rules, Bookbag will automatically calculate the score for you after both teams have placed their books. 2 plus 2 is 4, minus 1 that's 3, quick maths.

History

Keep track of games in progress as well as finished games on the history page. After a game is finished, get a generated game summary to share with everyone involved. Also tell Tiffany she lost by 50 points last year on March 3rd. She forgot.

TV

You know Granny can’t see what you’re doing on that cellular phone. Give everyone involved a little more confidence by showing the scoreboard on the TV with Chromecast. A phone is for making calls… and scoring books.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2026-05-26, version 3.4.2*

Great idea, love the options, but UI is still REALLY buggy.  

Also would love an option where bids don’t have to add up to 13 and blind nil gap to 200.

### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-05-23, version 3.4.2*

Straight cash grab of an app

### 3/5 — Decent but…

*2026-05-22, version 3.4.2*

Love the app however, I have subscribed to pro and I am still getting adds and the app acts like I don’t have pro. Additionally, sometimes the bag count will be off from the score. I will have 6 bags but the score will say 255 rather than 256. But the fact that I subscribed for premium but do not have the premium features is the most frustrating. The app will reset itself and make for scoring difficult at times because of the rules we like to have.

### 4/5 — Please add an update.

*2025-05-06, version 3.0.6*

The app works well as long as you make sure your settings match however, there needs to be an update where you can change a setting so you don’t take bags if you go nil. If it’s a setting I’m missing please help me find it.

### 5/5 — Nearly perfect

*2025-04-26, version 3.0.6*

I love the customization and explanations provided on this app. My only complaint is it doesn't allow for more than 2 teams. My family typically plays with 4 players keeping their own score.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-02-25, version 3.0.6*

Love the app. Great that it keeps track of game history. Wish there was a setting to forgive bags when you set the other team.
Thanks for your hard work!

### 5/5 — Best App Ever!

*2024-04-25, version 2.1.0*

I love this app! Takes the guess work out of keeping score and setting the rules prior to each game. Keeps a log of all your games. The dev team is up to date with the community, and extremely open to suggestions and feedback. Their communication is stellar! Thanks for bringing this to the spades community, you guys rock!

### 5/5 — Must have for Spades players!

*2024-01-26, version 2.0.2*

The perfect tool for playing Spades! Downloading this app is a no brainer. Developer is also very responsive and receptive to feedback.

### 5/5 — The Best App Ever for Spades Scorekeeping!

*2023-12-28, version 2.0.0*

I love this app. No more searching around for paper and pencil (with an eraser!). You can forget about having to recalculate the numbers and argue about the rules. It’s all here for you in this app. Decide on the rule set you want to use and forget about it! As an added bonus, the author is very responsive and genuinely helpful.

### 5/5 — The best app for spades scorekeeping.

*2023-11-09*

I have tested several other scorekeeping apps. This is the best by far! The developer is VERY responsive to requests. I think the app is going to continue to improve and remain the best in class.
