The “rules” set is very limit. It’s free so you get what you pay for. **Developer response:** Hi CoachCO62, I'm sorry you had a poor experience. Can you reach out to bookbagspades@gmail.com with feedback that would make this better? I'm curious what rules you think are missing. Best, Sean ### 2/5 — Buggy *2026-05-26* 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. **Developer response:** Hi Stlpick, The latest version 3.6.0 just went out today. There is nothing forcing your bids to equal 13, but if you meant books, I'm curious how you might play Spades without having books add up to 13. Please update to the latest version and use the feedback form to reach out so we can chat about your experience. Best, S ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-05-23* Straight cash grab of an app **Developer response:** Hi Samhill850, Sorry you're having trouble with the ads. We purposely make sure they are not too intrusive. Please update to the latest version and reach out using the app's feedback form so we can chat about your experience. Best, S ### 3/5 — Decent but… *2026-05-22* 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. **Developer response:** Hi Brooks035, Thank you for being a subscriber! This is unacceptable. There was a new update (3.6.0) that just went out today. Please update and reach out using the app's feedback form. I will personally make sure things are working for you as expected. Best, S ### 4/5 — Please add an update. *2025-05-06* 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. **Developer response:** Hi Bord707, This was actually fixed in version 3.0.7. 3.1.0 is on its way out now with even more rules. Hopefully this change will earn your 5 star review! As always please don't hesitate to reach out directly with any question, comments or feature requests you may have using the feedback feature in the app. S ### 4/5 — 3 bag penalty *2023-08-03* Update the app for a 3 bag penalty… it only has a 5 and 10 bag penalty… it needs a 3 bag penalty **Developer response:** Hi kmoytesdfg, Thanks for the feedback. 3 has been added as an option for the bag penalty rule in 2.0.0. Please consider giving us 5 stars! And as always if you have any other ideas/feedback, reach out to bookbagspades@gmail.com. Best, Sean ### 4/5 — Best spades score app *2021-06-08* I used this app and it’s actually good. Wish the developers would add the option to go blind if the losing team was -50 behind. Also automatic save the score if you change screens. Overall pretty awesome app. **Developer response:** Hi EmpressKeiona, This change is going out with version 3.1.0. Please give it a try and let us know if you have any other pieces of feedback. We would love to have your 5 star review! S ### 5/5 — Nearly perfect *2025-04-26* 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* 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! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best App Ever! *2024-04-25* 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* 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* 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. ### 5/5 — I’m happy I found this app *2023-07-02* I’m an avid spades player. I keep gold and silver cards on deck at all times just in case someone wants to play, but depending on the atmosphere we may not have a pen an paper so this app comes in handy. Not to mention you can keep track of the game including what each player said they had. I love this app. Just happy I didn’t have to develop it ### 5/5 — Use this app for Spades *2021-10-23* Best Spades score keeping app out there. Just wish you could change the 10 for 200 rule to where it didn’t have to be exactly 10 books to get the 200 points. Other than that, better than paper ### 5/5 — About time!!! 🙌 *2020-05-27* This is so much easier than trying to hustle and find paper and i don’t have to do calculations! Thank You! ### 5/5 — Useful! *2020-04-12* Smart and intuitive. Like it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
