That isn’t the way the game is supposed to be. Also, my partner takes tricks from me. There seems to be no connection with what their partner has bid. When I bid nil my partner wastes spades when I might need them for cover. ### 2/5 — Spades and ads *2023-07-20, version 1.8* I have been playing this game for a long time andused to enjoy it, but now it has a long ad after each hand. This is new and so annoying I am now deleting this game. Bye...... ### 2/5 — Thought this was partners *2023-03-03, version 1.8* It’s everyone for themselves it seems ### 3/5 — Mrs Emrich *2023-01-08, version 1.8* If you allow high /low jokers then the duece of spade should fall after the Ace of spades. That give you three top spades. This game only has jokers wild. Not as risky. ### 3/5 — I don’t think the developers know how to play Spades *2023-01-01, version 1.8* Scoring is bizarre. Also, I opted to play the blind nil. As a result the change was In asked if I bid blind nil before anybody else bids. Every time, bidding doesn’t follow a pattern of one player after another, but only because I have to choose blind nil or not first. ### 3/5 — Spades *2022-12-15, version 1.8* Love the game but despise the adds after each hand. Also, don’t like the fact that when you go nil your partner usually messes you up. And a lot of the time the computer gives the bag to the wrong team. ### 3/5 — Idk sometimes *2022-09-30, version 1.8* Love the game but the issue i have is when i really have a nil bid the other players literally allow me to get a book just to set me!! And if i would have went the one or two j would have been set! This game cheats honestly! But i cant seem to find a better online spades ♠️ option!! ### 2/5 — Only in this Game *2022-08-30, version 1.8* I love playing spades but tonight is the only time I played with 2 different 2 of Diamonds. I had one myself and one of the opponents had one. It is a freebie and I am thankful for that. ### 4/5 — Almost great *2022-08-29, version 1.8* I love that the bot partner knows not to cut your hand. Only wish it would know to play high when you choose nil. Otherwise great game! ### 4/5 — Fix my partner *2022-07-23, version 1.8* Your game is good but my partner doesn’t think 🤔 he just takes the card at that moment he will play a king on the ace then next deal the other guy plays a jack of same suit which he could of won but instead he played a 10 ???? Not logical.my own man was trying to stop my Nil. That’s stupid ### 3/5 — It will do *2022-06-14, version 1.8* I don’t like ads between hands. I wish the cards were numbered larger. Not fond of portrait vs landscape ### 2/5 — Scoring *2022-05-02, version 1.8* I have never seen scoring like this. Really different. ### 4/5 — Game rating *2022-04-17, version 1.8* Cards are too small ### 2/5 — This game play *2022-01-10, version 1.8* This game plays well for a while then starts making dumb plays Nils plays to suit that cause a set several times. Not necessary could be a better game ### 4/5 — Great for playing singles *2021-11-01, version 1.8* This is the best practice for singles play. On the other hand the way the app is set up to play partners needs much improvement! ### 2/5 — Spades *2021-10-17, version 1.8* I have never played spades and got 100 point subtracted for going over bid. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2021-10-07, version 1.8* This game cheats. Skips counting all cards and causes player to lose! ### 3/5 — Spades *2021-10-06, version 1.8* Game is good and few commercials if any. But would be nice to have live players ### 2/5 — Not my fav *2021-07-08, version 1.8* Computer gets best cards too often. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game is fixed *2023-03-26, version 1.8* Suit distribution all messed up and partner seems to be too stupid to know that they are ON YOUR SIDE. ### 1/5 — Boring *2022-09-10, version 1.8* This couldn’t be anymore boring if I sat in a hole! Bots are nothing to get excited about! Very Typical, nothing unique about this version ### 1/5 — Cheats on last bag *2022-01-25, version 1.8* Once again set other team we won last bag, but computer gave to wrong team. Happens a lot need to fix problem ### 1/5 — Thought I might like it but.. *2021-09-27, version 1.8* They lied. You cannot play solo. No setting for fir so on the first hand my dumb partner I didn’t know I had, had 5 bags. Goodbye ### 1/5 — Total crap! *2021-09-06, version 1.8* What kind of game this is supposed to be, where your partner plays with the opponent’s side? Just as most other spades games bots programmed to beat you no matter what! Stinks! Uninstalled! ### 1/5 — Throw away cards *2021-08-26, version 1.8* Why is it that the game will not throw cards away when all bids for team is already met? Also I will never understand how my partner will bid 1 when it has the Ace & King of Spades in hand! I’m still searching for a fair and competitive Spades game. Really tired of all the over bids ### 1/5 — Cheating game *2021-07-14, version 1.8* When I go over my bid I get penalized but when the game does the same thing nothing happens to it ‘s bid. Very disappointed 😕 ### 1/5 — Much to slow *2021-04-02, version 1.8* It takes to long to play a hand ... il should go faster ### 1/5 — Cheaters *2020-11-13, version 1.7* YOU CHEAT ALL THE TIME ### 1/5 — Spades *2020-10-16, version 1.7* Way too many noisey games advertised for kids that play load annoying junk even if you have sound muted you have to mute your phone. And the stupid things repeat over and over. I would never want or be interested in the garbage that they advertise and some of them are so hard to get rid of and interfere in your game too ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Spades *2022-10-21, version 1.8* Good game, but ads are a pain and to pay for them to be removed doesn’t seem right. ### 5/5 — Spades *2022-06-10, version 1.8* Great card game really can relax and enjoy this game ### 5/5 — Good fun *2022-03-13, version 1.8* Partner Does throw low, when I am winning a trick.! Only beats me when he has only spades left. Well thought out game. You can see the score, if you tap on thingie in left corner.👍 ### 5/5 — Only cards are too tiny *2021-09-10, version 1.8* I think this Spade game as well as others out are pretty accurately programmed. I prefer to play solo. I disagree that playing with partner was as one comment I read but I believe that bug has been corrected. Coupled/partners are played correctly. Some hands are boring cuz of hands dealt. Appreciate the lack of forced to watch demo of other games at every hand or game play. Specially if one owns another game version but forced to take a 30 second break to watch a demo play. Most games have a life cycle before it stays interesting. Tedious repetitiveness is very boring. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-06-06, version 1.8* I enjoy spades but I am not the greatest player. Thanks for having a hint for the bidding. I am never sure what to bid unless my hand is really good. The hint helps me a lot. ### 5/5 — Good version *2021-01-25, version 1.7* Computers actually know how to play!😀 ### 5/5 — Better than Most *2021-01-21, version 1.7* I enjoy playing with a bot that doesn’t make stupid moves - it makes me feel like I’m playing with a real player. I also like the fact that I don’t have to sir thru 30-45 seconds id ads. ### 5/5 — Good game *2020-03-01, version 1.5* I have only one complaint ... there’s too much commercials. ### 5/5 — Spades *2019-08-03, version 1.3* Very good game thoroughly enjoy it ### 5/5 — Like it *2018-10-26, version 1.3* Good game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
