My partner is also lousy. I could definitely improve the game. ### 2/5 — WAY TOO MANY ADS that last WAY TOO LONG! *2024-09-21* Partner struggles, but decent game otherwise - if you can tolerate all the ads. ### 3/5 — the spade game *2021-04-02, version 2.1* Too many ads and some very hard to stop and return to the game ### 4/5 — Very addictive *2020-09-23, version 1.9* Really enjoy it. If I could change one thing I would reduce the number of Ads. ### 3/5 — Nil *2019-10-04, version 1.6* My partner is terrible at playing Nil, if I pick nil she does not support my plays. Other than that I enjoy the game. ### 4/5 — Spades *2019-10-04, version 1.6* Enjoyed this gMe very much until ads appear throughout the game. Way too many. The game itself rates high. Norte seems ### 3/5 — Poor bidding *2018-05-04, version 1.5* Opponents tend to routinely under bid hands. Also the game locks up when computer is losing. ### 4/5 — E.H. *2017-10-09, version 1.5* I enjoy this game, it allows me to brush up on my skills! It would be fun to change partners, or maybe I have learned how to. ### 4/5 — Lots of fun *2016-01-20, version 1.4* Allows me to relax at the end of the day. I wish I could see Ann's finished book numbers before the next game appears - Ann's scores are covered. Need to reposition her scores by her head maybe? ### 3/5 — Spades *2016-01-03, version 1.4* It's ok not that satisfied. ### 3/5 — Somewhat Spades *2015-12-29, version 1.4* Partner does not bid hand. Really messes up on nil bids. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — INAPPROPRIATE ADDS!!! Deleted this app today due to inappropriate sexual adds. DEF NOT FOR KIDS!!! *2026-01-02, version 2.5* Partner struggles, but decent game otherwise - if you can tolerate all the ads. ### 1/5 — Used to be ad free *2025-08-31, version 2.4* Haven’t okayed in a while and now I don’t like the break in the game with ads. Ruins the game play. ### 1/5 — Spades card game *2024-02-08, version 2.1* I used to love playing, but now there is a long ad BETWEEN each hand. I lose interest in playing. Maybe after each game, BUT not each hand. Have totally lost interest in this spades game. ### 1/5 — Adds *2022-03-09, version 2.1* A add every hand. Come on. Need to splaying scoring better. Not the way I learned. ### 1/5 — Use to like *2019-09-30, version 1.6* Hate this format ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2019-09-28, version 1.6* I used to really like this app and would have given it four stars until today. I updated my app and now I’m getting an ad after EVERY hand. I understand, and don’t mind, the need for “free” apps to have ads but one after EVERY hand is ridiculous. I’m going to give it a couple of days to see if there’s an update that cuts way back on the ads. If not then I’m deleting the app and finding another. ### 1/5 — Chauvinism *2017-10-01, version 1.5* Chauvinism which is unfair. The women are outplayed. ### 1/5 — Not satisfied *2016-12-12, version 1.5* This game is geared for the male computer to win. Very unfairly designed! ### 1/5 — Lame *2016-10-14, version 1.5* Don't waste the space on this game it is really lame and anything but real spades. ### 1/5 — This game cheats *2016-01-23, version 1.4* This game cheat. They will cut your books and then play a card they just cut and the opposing team always get the better hand and work together, but your partner constantly cut you ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Free *2024-09-04, version 2.1* It is free and I need free ### 5/5 — Newbie *2023-02-28, version 2.1* Love this game! ### 5/5 — PTA put lies in education *2019-09-20, version 1.5* The entire history of teacher appreciation week is a made up lie by the national Pta Teacher appreciation week was started in Flint Michigan in 1980/81 school yr by Terry Dudley Douglas. The Pta was losing members so to gain fame and fortune the PTA started lying and claiming to be the founder of TAW. Children are dying trying to get a education kids risk their lives everyday 4 the opportunity to learn. They deserve the best and honest experience in education PTA do not care about what children learn contact the PTA tell them to respect children and remove the PTA lies about teacher appreciation week. The PTA just wanted money ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-01-22, version 1.5* I enjoy playing this game and I like the fact that this app has an undo button ### 5/5 — Spades *2016-11-27, version 1.5* Great game!! Really fun to play. ### 5/5 — Great entertainment for personal quite time *2016-09-28, version 1.5* I love this game and I play it about 6 times everyday. It has 3 levels and although it's a computer, it's fair. You will win some games too. ### 5/5 — Sexyginos55 *2016-07-13, version 1.5* " I love this game, it keeps my mind in alert mode every time I play spades" ### 5/5 — iPhone 6 plus *2015-05-31, version 1.3* Great app!!!! ### 5/5 — Favorite fast paced spade group, though my partner doesn't know me *2015-03-20, version 1.3* Love it ### 4/5 — Not nicely advertising *2020-10-02, version 1.9* Adds a introduce and politely.
