But…
Good game, but the partner hand is weak. My partner bid nil and was successful down to the last two cards. I played a low heart and he played a spade and went set. He then played a low diamond. In other words the algorithm is faulty.

Good game but way too many ads
Really good!!
Addicted to this!!!
Mental Challenge
This Spades game is very hard to beat. Great for honing my logic and skills.
Makes illogical moves
Makes illogical moves. Will take a trick with a spade after bidding a NIl when holding a none spade card. Will take a trick when I bid a NIl when player player to my left has already beat my card. This leaves me vurnable with a higher card.
Seriously?
Do the people who write the code for these games actually know how to play them? On level 5 the computer partner should play with some level of skill. Instead, it plays poorly. It overbids, underbids, unnecessarily takes tricks I clearly have and need when it doesn’t need to, doesn’t take tricks it clearly needs when it can, and takes unnecessary bags. Curious why a poor rating won’t upload.

Nil victories
This started out being a good game with the exception of the cards being spread out into two rows requiring some attention in playing a hand. But the game keeps feeding opponents Nil hands to win, in some games, every round featured the other team going nil. That makes the game no fun at all. Shame, that.

Bad partner plays abound
The moves make no sense. Trumping with a high trump. Partner leading a low card when you are going low. When you are going low, instead of playing some trump cards to allow you to clear out some high cards, the partner will continue leading a non trump suit until you get set…like playing for the other side. There’s no way this is AI

AI Partner NOT GREAT
Multiple times my AI “partner” has played a trump card when unnecessary and at a time when they bid either nil or blind nil. Looking at the cards played afterwards, there were MANY other options that would have avoided catching the trick. I don’t think the game is nearly intelligent enough to keep decent players happy.

Bad game algorithms
Dont bother to play Solo format if you are expecting a challenging game. The badly structured algorithm ensures that every hand is balanced, with either 3 or 4 points per player
And the Standard format is little better, with the opposite pair receiving the more aggressive hands, and never failing to achieve a Nil point hand
This version is too predictable, and ho-hum boring

Response from developer
The deals are random and not biased to any seat. With more play the luck should change. More aggressive and Nil hands should occur for your team too. Thank you for your review.

One ad that keeps appearing is surprisingly inappropriate. I believe it is an AI with photos ad.
AI is a moron
I’ve got it on the highest level. My ai partner bid Nil. I’m running Spades so my partner can dump his worst cards. Idiot AI plays a 6 of Diamonds. So I lead my 5 of Diamonds. Which the AI takes with its 10 of Diamonds.
There is nothing complicated about this. It wants to not take any tricks, but sloughs a low card rather than a high one.
Garbage

Realistic 🫤😫
AI either is far behind, or the designers of this game are lacking in creativity. Their AI isn’t close to being realistic.
Good AI
i have tried a few Spades games from the app store and this one is the toughest.
Not bad - but not very smart AI.
Hint to doing well - always plan on getting 2 additional tricks to whatever you are bidding when your AI partner is going nil. Your AI partner will at times lead small to cover your nil - for no reason, get used to that, but if you just hit the step-back, it will often see the error if its way and re-lead with a strong card. The AI opponents often place way too much value on getting you to take extra tricks - don’t worry about it - just protect your partner’s nil and you’ll be fine.

Fun but often frustrating
The AI partner often plays against you and causes you to lose. For example, if the AI is the last one to play on a trick, and you have played the highest card, instead of playing a lower card and letting you take the trick, saving its higher card to win another trick, it will often play the higher card or trump you to win that trick. This undermines the team because you could have won two tricks, but it played against you and you only won one. This often keeps you from making bid when you could have, if it had not played against you. Also, when you bid nill, the AI will often lead a trick with the lowest card it has instead of a higher card, which costs you the nill bid. For example, the AI leads with a 3 of clubs, East and West play the 2 and 4 of clubs, and you have to throw whatever club is in your hand and it's obviously going to be higher and you lose the nill bid on a 5 of clubs. Then the next hand the AI throws a higher card which would have saved the nill bid had it lead with that. Overall, it's a very fun game, and hopefully the AI can learn to understand strategy and teamwork. That will make it even more fun!

Partner is bad
Partner throws crazy cards
Learn Spades
If you don’t understand bidding then this is for you!
Could be a great game
I really liked this game in he begining; then all of a sudden it started giving won books to my opponents, and sorting the cards out of sequence. So frustrating as Spades is my favorite card game I spend all day playing spades especially on weekends.
