When I open the app it doesn’t go to the main menu where you can choose which game you want to play. It automatically starts a game and there’s no way to exit or go back. Please help! ### 4/5 — Disappointment in no Jokers *2026-08-30, version 2.4.7* No jokers? I saw a joker in the promo! ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-08-28, version 2.4.7* The only reason I can’t give five stars is because it doesn’t tell you what level you are at. Other than that it’s an amazing game for strategy and thinking ahead. Just bet based on the high cards Aces and Spades in your deck and you’re good to go. ### 5/5 — Spades!! *2026-08-07, version 2.4.7* Great game ### 3/5 — DUMB BOTS *2026-08-05, version 2.4.7* It would be more fun if the dumb bots really knew how to play but, they don’t! They cut my books and them turn around and throw out a non spade lol and they don’t know how to deal with NILs, when they can cause the person to break the NIL. ### 5/5 — Spade *2026-08-04, version 2.4.7* This is a great game ### 5/5 — Review *2026-07-29, version 2.4.4* Very very fun game enjoy playing ### 5/5 — Add to game *2026-07-27, version 2.4.4* It should be able to change your hand if you dislike it ### 5/5 — Favorite Spades cards game *2026-07-27, version 2.4.4* I enjoy playing Spades Cards game because of the opportunities to win and the prizes awarded. ### 5/5 — Spades R Up👆 *2026-07-26, version 2.4.4* Amazing Game💝 ### 3/5 — Spades - Card Game *2026-07-26, version 2.4.4* Spades -CG app works well as a non stressful calm way to unwind whilst playing a mobile game, the instructions are easy to understand and follow. The competitions are fair. ### 3/5 — Just Spades *2026-07-26, version 2.4.4* This is just spades. Can't play with others, stuck with ai bots, doesn't have a ranked or more challenging. Just straight up spades. Reminds me of when I used to sit in the room and play against myself. Very simple layout. You can either play a regular game or a multiplayer game. The multiplayer mode isn't actually playing with someone because there is ads after every else round! ### 5/5 — GMA *2026-07-24, version 2.4.4* Great relaxing game. Makes me think. I Love it!!! ### 5/5 — I’m good *2026-07-23, version 2.4.4* I’m great ### 2/5 — Jr Shake *2026-07-20, version 2.4.4* It’s a great friendly card game,that requires you to think in a mathematical way. ### 5/5 — Really fun *2026-07-20, version 2.4.4* I loved playing spades as a kid… ### 2/5 — Just playing *2026-07-17, version 2.4.4* If I have a Boston why can’t I start out n spades to prevent them from cutting me n my other suit ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2026-08-27, version 2.4.7* You literally have to underbid every hand, your partner cuts you, throws out the KING first time the suit plays over bids ever single hand, bids 2 when it doesn’t even have one hand… The list is endless ### 1/5 — Double Standards *2026-08-02, version 2.4.7* How come when the them team don’t make their number of cards you don’t take any point away from them hardly.i have seen them throw a spade on a hand like diamonds and the very next one someone throws another diamond out and then all of a sudden he has another diamond in his hand to throw out there.That seems to be the only way for the other side to win is to do it by cheating. ### 1/5 — Racism at its best! *2026-07-26, version 2.4.4* Go. Black wtf. Go white pigs ### 1/5 — Bad players *2026-07-17, version 2.4.4* Worst players ever cut partners ### 1/5 — Your update sucks *2026-07-16, version 2.4.4* I’d rather have the emoji’s making mean faces at each other than the update you recently did to this game. You ruined a perfectly good game! And it crashes now. Good luck with that. Free game that is now as valuable as what you pay for it, nothing!! ### 1/5 — Unbearable Ads *2026-07-10, version 2.4.4* Used to be a decent free play the ads are absolutely unbearable and lock you in to constantly opening up the play store it’s not worth it at all ### 1/5 — Sueyen *2026-07-06, version 2.4.4* Queenie! ### 1/5 — Partner is against you. *2026-06-03, version 2.3.0* You’d think AI would be separated but you end up 3 against you. No fun. ### 1/5 — Out dated old dinosaur game *2026-05-14, version 2.3.0* 1st- you play against bots only and only as a team which these bots don’t have any skills playing Spades! It’s a joke ; no challenges either just bad outdated game! they make you lose ! ### 1/5 — League and multiplayer is gone.
