We need a new update or restore it to the previous version ### 2/5 — Gotten worse *2026-05-14* this used to be a pretty good game, but since the update is gotten worse, you wait forever for the ads to finish sometime the ads cause the game to stall, and we have to stop the progress and restart the game all over again. This was never a problem to the update. I used to be game at 500 now it's 250. It should go back to 500. please do something with these ads that are causing a game to stall and we have to restart the game and lose all progress and this has happened several times. ### 2/5 — Bring back the first jSpades2…Please! *2022-06-14* This second version of jSpades2 is not as good as the first. There is a glitch when bidding. The help button is too close to the bidding scroll. When you accidentally touch the help button that screen covers the board making it hard to then see the bidding scroll. All the tapping is very frustrating. I also feel like the kitty is not distributed properly. ### 3/5 — Bad partners *2021-08-22* Why would my partner play a trump when I have already won the hand? This has caused a loss of the game more than once. Please fix. I use to like this game. Partners are still taking hands when I have them won. Are you try to get people to stop playing your game? ### 3/5 — Allowing the computer to renege *2020-11-05* If I can’t renege then the computer should not be able to renege either. I just lost my hand because I was trying to get all of the spades out and I thought they were gone and then the computer played three more! That’s just ridiculous ### 4/5 — JSpades2 *2020-07-18* Love the game, but don’t understand why my “partner” can nil bid in kitty mode and I can’t ### 3/5 — Have to tap screen to clear set. *2019-03-27* I wrote the review below this addition a long time ago. I am reiterating something that I hoped/assumed would be addressed in the hopes that someone actually fixes it. I enjoy this game but compared to other card games it can be frustrating. No other games make you tap the screen EACH hand to clear the screen?! It’s not like you can take back a card once it’s been played so there is no reason to make the player tap the screen. This issue just adds to the slow pace of play. Please address this👍🏻 Old review: I love this game but the fact that you cannot speed up play is bad enough. The fact that you have to tap the screen to clear the set is one tap too many. Please, fix this. ### 2/5 — Use to love this game *2018-11-24* Whoever idea it was for us to have to tap to submit, bad idea. I like fast playing and it just moves so slow. ### 3/5 — Need an updated *2018-10-09* I’ve been playing this game for years. Now that i upgraded my iPhone to the xsmax I’m not to use the 2 of ♦️ as a spade, and the lowest u can bid is 5 when it’s suppose to be 4.. please fix this.. ### 2/5 — Not the same *2018-04-14* I used to love this a couple years ago. Takes too many taps for cards to shift. Doesn't play the old way rules anymore. Not worth it. ### 4/5 — Clearing a hand *2017-12-08* Love the game but it is such a nuisance to have to tap to remove cards after each hand. MAKE IT AUTOMATIC!!! ### 3/5 — Update your Bid Whist software *2017-04-22* Your game Bid Whist needs to be updated ### 1/5 — Bring Back The Original!!! *2015-09-11, version 1.03* This version is horrible! The Original Version was better, the cards looked real, the choice to create your own username plus it had better options. I think it's unfair for you to take away what we chose to pay for & change it to this. Please, please, please bring the original game back! ### 2/5 — J spades 2 *2015-08-05, version 1.03* To much tapping!!!!! ### 2/5 — So Disappointed! *2015-06-23, version 1.03* The original was my favorite game for a long time. I played it everyday and would rate it 5 stars. This game is so inferior. It is hard to understand the reason to only offer an inferior product and having to tap every card makes no sense. At the very least please allow us to use the original version (no longer works). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game closes *2026-06-16* Since the new update I can’t complete a game! Ads!?!?!?!??? Why fix something that was never broken? ### 1/5 — Ruined by Ads *2026-06-11* Ads are ruining the gameplay. The ads are long and won’t close forcing you to restart the app or the ads will glitch and shutdown the app. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-05-20* This used to be one of my favorites games . This is the only version that has the kitty option. All these ads are making the game less enjoyable. To add insult to injury the ads freeze and you have to start the game over. It’s extremely frustrating and annoying. Very disappointed!!! ### 1/5 — Blocked playing by Ad *2026-05-13* I’ve been playing this game for years with no issues. Last week, this update has made it impossible to play without having an ad pop up after a game and being unable to go forward after the ad has run. At the most you can play 2 -3 games before the ad comes then you have to close the App and start a new game. ### 1/5 — Used to love this game *2026-04-08, version 1.0.6* This new update sucks. Literally deleted it from my phone and I’ll never play it again. And who is this random woman who pops up from time to time while playing the game? ### 1/5 — Better before the updates *2026-04-07* What happened? Why did they change what was working? It was decent at least 3 stars. No it’s so bad it gets no stars. ### 1/5 — Cheat *2017-07-20* Do not play this. The game allows the computer to cheat and renege. ### 1/5 — Cheats *2017-04-27* Do not download this game it lets the computer get all the good cards and renege. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — It crashes ALL the time *2016-07-19* The game would be fine if it didn't crash so much. I literally just attempted to play it FIVE times in a row and it would let me get a hand and bid then just crash and exit out. If they could fix this it would be fine. Although I don't understand how in a team game it allows you to bid under four, it's not something that's an issue for game play. The crashing however is awful. ### 1/5 — App CRASHES too much *2015-10-01, version 1.0.4* This app crashes every single time I try to play a 2 player solo game. Do not waste your time with it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this version *2018-05-08* I first came across Jerod’s version of Spades a few phones ago. When I bought the Apple I couldn’t find the App in the Apple store. I decided to look up the game on a friends phone and found Jerod’s name again. Recently I had to completely reset the phone so I lost my apps. I remembered his name again so I’m happy again. This is how much I enjoy this version. ### 5/5 — jSpades 2 *2015-09-06, version 1.03* The best game ever! Select the kind of Spades game you prefer/like and Enjoy!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-07-02, version 1.03* I love this game it's been out for years n it's the only spades game I play the ads aren't overwhelming.mske this for iPad again ### 5/5 — Love it *2014-05-15, version 1.0.0* I think it's great! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2014-05-15, version 1.0.0* This game is really fun. The computer opponents keep me on my toes and I like the challenges although they are really tough. Great update to the last version! ### 5/5 — Love it *2014-05-15, version 1.0.0* I was addicted to the first one but I really love JSpades 2!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-05-15, version 1.0.0* Great app!!! Can't stop playing ### 5/5 — I love it 😍 *2014-05-13, version 1.0.0* Looooovvvvveeeeee this new version ... I downloaded it ASAP haha ### 4/5 — Used to be my favorite since new update not anymore *2026-04-17* Use to play this all the time, way better than all the other ones for so many years and then it decided to do ads and change the flow of the game. It’s just like the other ones now and I’m very disappointed. 4 stars for what it use to be ### 4/5 — Neal *2025-02-22* I tell people that this is the best spades game. It is the only one that I know of that has jokers. You can take blinds or play with the kiddie. The only problem is you can’t play with actual people. And sometimes the app crashes But it’s still the best in my opinion --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
