I’ve not found a way to resume where I was prior to this happening. ### 2/5 — Too many ads! *2026-08-20, version 11.6* The game is slowed down by ad after ad. Often the ad gets stuck and you have to click and click and wait. Awful! ### 3/5 — Strategy *2026-07-25, version 11.5* The program has no strategy built in. Players don’t react appropriately to the lead. ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-07-16, version 11.4* Way to many ads ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-07-06, version 11.3* Too many ads ### 2/5 — High Priest *2026-07-03, version 11.3* Whoever programmed this game sure as hell don’t know how to play ### 2/5 — Bid Whist *2026-05-19, version 11.1* Many times opponents Cheat ### 4/5 — Review *2026-05-12, version 11.1* Consistency of design interface realistic challenges for rewards without making purchases. ### 4/5 — Love the game wish the comp players were better *2026-04-27, version 11.0* I play this game in the real world weekly so I use the computer to challenge myself. ### 2/5 — Advertisement *2026-03-21, version 10.8* It’s a nice game but way too much aggressive advertising, some of them are long and you loose you partner in between hands because it’s so long ### 1/5 — Ads galore. *2026-03-09, version 10.8* Nonstop ads, and they freeze the game and crash the app. Waste of time. ### 4/5 — Game Stopped Working *2026-02-15* I loved this game while it was working, but it just stopped working one day. When I click on the app it opens and closes opens and closes. I contacted support about the issue and no matter what they had me try, I was unable to make the app work for me any longer. I can’t update it, so I can no longer play it and that’s a loss to me because this is a great game. **Developer response:** Hello Great, we understand how disappointing it must be to lose access to a game you enjoy, especially after already trying recommended steps with our support team.

Worked for a couple weeks. Ads have returned. After YOUR bug fixes game is glitchy and unplayable. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The Game Hangs During Ads *2026-07-29, version 11.5* The game has a real issue with the ads. Ads will constantly interrupt a hand and then lock up requiring a game restart. Of course, by doing that the game is lost and one must start again. It’s a real pain in an otherwise fun game. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-16, version 11.4* Too many ads ### 1/5 — Computer cheats *2026-07-05, version 11.3* I had a 5 no Trump and the computer cut me ### 1/5 — HATE IT *2026-05-31, version 11.2* Why did you change my favorite game. Now it's confusing even too.. get started ### 1/5 — Toooo many Bugs *2026-05-25, version 11.1* Please fix the game. It’s telling me to bid when I bid it comes back around to tell me to be again over and over and it won’t let me pass that I have to end the game which results in my score being lowered ### 1/5 — Glitches *2026-05-11, version 11.1* The app keeps glitching after 3 rounds forcing you to exit and forfeit. ### 1/5 — Game freezes whey you're betting a million *2026-05-09, version 11.1* Paige Jaja ### 1/5 — Great App But……. *2026-04-09, version 10.9* Paid for no ads and I’m getting them. Now even in the middle of games. WOW. Can’t get any support. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-04-07, version 10.9* Often I start a spades game of mirror. I am unable to place my opening bid as it doesn’t give me the bidding dialog. No choice but to loose my wager. I’ve tried pressing everywhere on the screen. The only things that work are to quit or watch ads. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-04-04, version 10.8* This site is terrible to play spades or whist on. It’s always crashing and you lose your coins. The only reason I’m playing here is cause I can’t find another site that place whist. I do not recommend it terribly frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — You need to pay for ads or you’ll go crazy *2026-07-01* I had paid to have the ads removed, but they came back for some reason today maybe from an update. I finally found the way to restore my purchase by clicking on the ads button and then do restore purchase. It made me truly appreciate that a few dollars for the removal of ads was more than worth it because I couldn’t play this game every day if I had to go through all those ads just to play one game. But it is an excellent game and I do enjoy playing it every day so as well we’re at the cost to remove the ads. **Developer response:** Hi Redheama, we're thrilled you love Spades Bid Whist: Card Games 🥳 Your suggestion for adding text messaging alongside emojis is fantastic and we've shared it with our team. ✨ Enjoy more exciting rounds of free online bid whist card game and spade games free every time you play! ### 5/5 — Bid Whist *2026-05-18, version 11.1* Would be nice in a future update to have text ability added, we can send certain emojis but it would be good to Be able to text small messages as well, but love the game! ### 5/5 — Bidwhist *2026-05-11, version 11.1* I love the game just wish you could add friends or be able to chat. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-05-11, version 11.1* Great game and a lot of fun. ### 5/5 — 202Tana *2026-05-07, version 11.1* Great game ### 5/5 — Whist *2026-05-05, version 11.1* Players are scare to play!! ### 5/5 — Great card game, love it! *2026-03-27, version 10.8* This is one of the best bid whist app on the market, after you pay to have the ads removed.
