I ran it airplanes mode, so the Ads didn’t affect me, but even for free, there’s no purpose to playing this as it’s pointless. ### 2/5 — Cheating *2024-10-29* Today is Tuesday 10/27/24 your game is cheating to gain the advantage. It continued to play spades and had a handful of hearts. Why? I challenge you to build your game on honesty. ### 2/5 — Scoring wrong at times. *2024-08-25* At times when your opponent does not make their bid it is given to them anyway causing you to lose the game. Frustrating ### 2/5 — Ok *2024-03-04* Great colors but way too many ads every other hand. Don’t bother to download! ### 3/5 — Game cheats *2025-09-24* Computer player will have a negative score of -66, but the game will give them a positive score of over 166 points. At the end of each round, you can see that player score in the negative. But it is changed to a positive score when the new round begins. Also, one player will go for Nil and the game will give that players successful nil points to another player to make sure you lose the game against the computer. ### 3/5 — First time playing this app *2025-03-28* Today I download this app and it was pretty nice but I had to lead out and play first on every hand. that’s not how the game go. There must be a glitch so I don’t know if I’m gonna continue to play it. ### 3/5 — Ads are outrageous *2024-08-04* After each hand, you will get a 30-60 second ad. Each Hand! However, if you change your phone to airplane mode, they are blocked. Developers- the coding needs some work. Scoring is incorrect and inconsistent. And a small pet peeve, but the graphics for your opponents switch when on the score page so their avatar is the other player’s. More annoying than anything else ### 3/5 — No bags? *2024-06-28* There are no bags, penalty point that is incurred when a player takes more tricks than they bid. Each bag is worth one penalty point, and a player or team may accumulate multiple bags throughout the game. Also too many ads. Just charge to remove them. Great graphics though and game works in vertical mode. :-) ### 3/5 — Poor coding! *2024-04-30* My opponents bid 0 and 4. As play proceeded my team caused the 0 player to take a trick and the 4 player to take only 3! This should have caused a 50 point penalty to the 0 player and an additional 50 point penalty for the 4 bid player, totaling 100 points of penalty! The game only assessed that team 0 points for the round!! Bad coding! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Spades *2025-02-22* Fun Time ### 5/5 — Spades *2024-08-16* I like this game moves along fast. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2024-05-08* I WOULD RATHER PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION INSTEAD OF ALL THE ADS,!!!! ### 5/5 — Spades Masters *2024-02-15* Best one yet!👍🏾 ### 4/5 — Ads *2024-02-17* Can you please cut down on the ads. Please it's rather frustrating to play a game when after each and hand rounds there is long ads. I really like the game but the ads are driving me crazy. Please take care of this. Is would be appreciated. Thank you.🙂 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
