It has to be intentional. Ai is clearly a misnomer. Unless the word, intelligence is replaced by the word, ignorance. Since this game is supposed to be for “seniors” perhaps seniors should be consulted as to how the game is played. **Developer response:** Hi there, sorry the game has been getting more frustrating instead of better. We understand why the AI and overall gameplay would feel disappointing, especially in a Spades game that should feel familiar and fair. We are actively tuning the AI and difficulty, and your feedback about how the game actually plays for experienced seniors will be shared with the team. If there are specific hands, bidding choices, or rule issues that stand out, please send them to http://wildcardstudios.com/support/ so we can investigate more closely. ### 4/5 — Spades *2026-05-03* Your partner is trash in this game. They will play off when they shouldn’t and will cut your throat and take your truck if you like spades don’t bother downloading. **Developer response:** Hi there, sorry for the frustration. We know it really takes the fun out of Spades when your partner makes poor plays and undercuts a strong hand. Thanks for calling this out. We’re actively tuning partner behavior and overall gameplay to make decisions feel smarter and more consistent. We appreciate you giving the game a try, and we hope you’ll check back after future updates. ### 1/5 — No no no *2026-04-24, version 1.24.0* Ads after every. Single. Level ### 1/5 — spades for seniors *2026-04-18, version 1.24.0* the app is crazy racist!! all the avatars are black!! theres no white folk to choose from!! ### 1/5 — Can’t see suits on cards *2026-04-13, version 1.24.0* The cards are to close together. You can barely see what suit is being played. I deleted the game because of this. ### 1/5 — Terrible Game *2026-03-28, version 1.23.2* Way too many long long ads. ### 4/5 — Spades for seniors *2026-03-01, version 1.23.0* Just missing the jokers ### 1/5 — Cheating *2026-01-22, version 1.20.0* They tell you to cheat at the last hand or the game won’t continue.Change bid it says. ### 3/5 — Great game ruined by ignorance *2026-01-17, version 1.20.0* As others have mentioned, this game designer clearly knows nothing about how the game of Spades is played. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AI Partner is Stupid *2026-07-01* My partner actually plays against me! When I bid NIL my partner will actually keep leading low cards. I’ve been stuck so many times that way. Partner will also under cut me and then play a higher card immediately after or throw off a non suited card rather than use a trump to save the NIL bid. I’ve seen similar complaints from a year or more ago back where the reply is to let the developers know so it can be worked on. That Pat answer is unrealistic and unreasonable in these times when AI KNOWS how to play cards. I want to change partners. Is that too much? I’d also like to have more choices for my avatar. Seriously. All ancient looking and not one that looks like me. Please fix it. **Developer response:** Hi Suze, sorry for the frustration. Partner play around NIL bids, especially leading low cards, failing to protect the bid, or cutting at the wrong time, is absolutely something we take seriously. We are actively tuning the AI and difficulty, and your specific examples will be shared with the team. We also understand why the old replies feel unsatisfying when you have been seeing the same behavior for a while. Your requests for being able to change partners and for more avatar variety are noted as well for the team to consider. We have also made recent performance improvements, but we know smarter gameplay is the bigger issue here. Thank you for calling this out so clearly. ### 1/5 — Spades really *2026-06-29, version 1.25.0* I’m not black why should I have to choose a color ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-06-04, version 1.25.0* This game sucks computer doesn’t understand the game ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-05-22, version 1.24.1* Omg so many ads. I want to change my hand there’s an ad, then I bid there’s an ad. This is horrible I don’t even want to play this game anymore ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-05-18, version 1.24.1* Partner plays a trump(spade) when it’s obvious I have played a high card to win the trick. No one in real life would play this stupidly! I deleted it, Apple should dump this company too. ### 1/5 — PURE GARBAGE!!! *2026-05-15* How can you play a game when your partner is a computer? Doesn’t know how to play the game. First hand first car played by me Ace apart second Card played by me King of heart, and my partner cuts it with a spade and then throws out a club when she could’ve thrown the club out first and not cut my king of heart 34 games later basically the same thing I play a card I’m winning. She cuts it for no reason and then she throws out a heart. I can’t play a game in the game. Doesn’t know how to play the game. Total waste of time people. **Developer response:** Hi there, sorry for the frustrating experience. We understand how annoying it is when your partner makes cuts that do not make sense and ruins a hand you were already winning. We are actively tuning the AI and partner play, and feedback like your examples is exactly what helps. If you can, please report those hands to http://wildcardstudios.com/support/ so the team can investigate further. We have also made recent performance improvements, and we appreciate you taking the time to call this out. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-05-09, version 1.24.0* I UNDERSTAND THATS THE WAY THE COMPANY MAKES MONEY OFF ADS BUT THESE ADS ARE GETTING TO LONG THEN WE DONT EVEN HAVE THE OPTION TO SKIP,IT DONT MAKE U WANT TO BUY THINGS IT MAKES YOU WANT TO DELETE THE GAME,THATS SOOO NOT FAIR TO BE FORCED TO WATCH A 3 MINUTE LONG AD JUST TO PLAY A GAME ### 1/5 — To many *2026-05-02, version 1.24.0* It’s way too many ads! ### 1/5 — They show gay porn advertisements *2026-04-29, version 1.24.0* They accept ads from gay men pornographic sites. ### 1/5 — Thumbs down *2026-04-24* I expect ads for a free game, but this game is not addictive enough for the long ads in between rounds. I am watching more ads than actually playing. **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback, and sorry the ads are getting in the way of enjoying the game. We know it is frustrating when the breaks feel longer than the actual play, and that is not the experience we want. Ads help us keep the game free, but your feedback about the frequency and length is fair, and we will share it with the team as we continue reviewing the balance. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Spades for Seniors *2026-08-07* I really enjoy this game you have to know what card to throw down so they don’t pick it up and you bid how many tricks you’re gonna do from your hand and if you make them you get points for it **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Daisy!
