I find it much more satisfying to play than Microsoft Spades. ### 4/5 — Good *2021-12-14, version 2.0.439* Good game AI partners not so smart though they cut you and don’t protect nil ### 5/5 — Best Spades game in the App Store *2021-04-07, version 2.0.439* Love this game of Hardwood Spades, and great tournament play as well. ### 5/5 — Excellent play *2021-02-10, version 2.0.439* Great graphics...great chat ability. Guides monitored. ### 5/5 — GREAT site! *2020-11-08* Been playing spades on this site since 2002. Love the game. Enjoyable pass time for me. We forewarned some people are very competitive and some are bullies. Just play to relax, it’s better for your help. ;) ### 5/5 — Hardwood Spades *2020-10-22* Love playing Hardwood Spades. It's responses are fast. It’s one of the better game apps I have. I play it a lot! ### 5/5 — mostly perfect *2020-08-27, version 2.0.424* better than the rest. ### 5/5 — Fan for life *2020-07-03* I’ve been playing hardwood spades for like 20 years. Since it was only available on PC. Best app for spades hands down. You won’t be disappointed ### 4/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2020-04-23, version 2.0.424* childhood game and still love it just as much ### 5/5 — Great pastime! *2020-02-23* I ha be been playing Silver Creek Card Games for many, many years now and have found them to be challenging and educational. I have gotten to know their games and always look forward to playing them. ### 5/5 — All You Could Ask For In A Spades Game And More!!!! *2019-12-18* It’s highly customizable, the IAPs aren’t mandatory to have a blast playing, but when you do want to spend a little, they’re affordable and provide fun perks! Great stats, multi-player, offline mode, just about anything... I definitely recommend!! ### 4/5 — Really like hardwood card games! *2019-08-25* Been playing their Euchre (which is my fav) hearts and spades for years. Wish the multiplayer was like it was b4. Now it costs to play a rated game and theirs not many people playing the regular games. I used to have a tourney room and host games several years ago. The bots could use some work in the programming in the single games. Some of them do some stupid things humans wouldn’t do. But in general I like their layout and the simple way it is to change rules and types. The player avatars also need an update, they are the same now as they were years ago. If your gonna add charges, you better keep upgrading the game itself. Hope you read this HARDWOOD DEVS! ### 5/5 — Game changer *2019-08-04, version 2.0.411* Love this game ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-08-01, version 2.0.411* If you love spades you’ll love this app ### 5/5 — Great game! *2019-06-09, version 2.0.411* Love it! ### 5/5 — Awesome Spades game *2019-04-23, version 2.0.411* Awesome version of spades ### 5/5 — Love, love, love *2019-03-29, version 2.0.411* Best app for spades!! ### 5/5 — Great app for spades lover *2019-02-14, version 2.0.411* Highly recommend this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — iPhone 6s issue *2015-12-02, version 2.0.321* Can't play the game anymore. It's also happening on my iPad. Bid and score boxes are huge. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2014-02-09* Rubbish crashes and is spoilt by Becky the guide who is a pest ### 1/5 — Everything is IAP! *2012-04-17, version 2.0.146.0* So, I just spent $2.99 for a Spades game. Normally, this wouldn't be bad, but the reason (IMHO) to buy a Hardwood game is for all the different avatars, backgrounds, card backs, settings, etc. You are given one of each and CANNOT earn anymore with in-game progress! You have to pay real money for each one, normally a couple of dollars! Oh, did I mention that you also have to pay to play online?!? This is an epic fail. So sorry I spent the money... ### 2/5 — Too expensive *2017-01-03, version 2.0.363* Very entertaining, but a bit expensive for a game. ### 2/5 — Font way too big on IPhone 6! *2015-11-24, version 2.0.321* The font is too big so you can barely see your bid or what to bid. Please reconfigure. Also the score and previous cards plays boxed are also way too big. Thank you ### 2/5 — Hardwood spades *2012-11-12, version 2.0.165.0* DEVELOPERS!!!! Please fix this. It's a great game and I have been playing it for years on pc. Now have it on iPhone and iPad. Both worked great until recently. iPhone still works flawless bit iPad won't even start up anymore. Have removed it and re downloaded several times and it still won't work. People pay their hard earned money to enjoy your games and they are great WHEN THEY WORK. Please Please Please fix these problems. ### 3/5 — Advatar choice has to go/lets use camera or pictures of our choice *2025-03-31* Please ,Please let us change avatar to camera or a picture of our choice. The gnome character has to go. I love playing this game on the Xbox. Now that it is on the App Store I’m excited to play on the go. Please give us this option and u can get 5 stars from me. ### 3/5 — I purchased this by accident *2021-07-10, version 2.0.439* Please give me a refund. I taped this by accident ### 3/5 — People not program *2015-11-26, version 2.0.321* The software tends to be a hold school PC. But I play here because it is a healthy environment no profanity, the players seem to be more mature and friendly ### 3/5 — In this case, serious crashing issue *2012-04-17, version 2.0.146.0* It would seem that most complaints re: crashing with new apps is from users that don't know that sometimes your device needs to restart after installing a new app. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a fix for the crashing of this nice looking and intriguing spades game. I want to love it and play it, but I have yet to finish a game without a full app crash. Hopefully the developers will read this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-11-10* I enjoy playing HW Spades because it provides me with something to do while I’m doing nothing. ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-06-29* I enjoy playing HW Spades because it provides me with something to do while I’m doing nothing. ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-06-14* I enjoy playing HW Spades because it provides me with something to do while I’m doing nothing. ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-11-10* I enjoy playing HW Spades because it provides me with something to do while I’m doing nothing. ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2024-01-11* I used to play this game when I was little on my desktop computer when I had brain cancer at 8 years old and to find it now 20 years later it made me sooo happy.

With Hardwood the IAs make smart plays like an experienced real player would. The graphics and play mechanics are first rate as well. If you want a spades game this is it. ### 5/5 — My Love of Hardwood spades *2021-06-09* I Love play this game it takes my mine off Of my Paine I have a disability thank you for creating hardwood spades games hi ever played ### 5/5 — Super Spades!! *2021-04-25* Hardwood is beautifully made, graphics are off the chain .... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
