Will be 5 stars when that improves. Thanks. Best spades game out ### 2/5 — Jokers *2026-04-25, version 2.6.3* While this game/app is one of the better ones available, PLEASE program it so that the computer generated team players know how to distinguish between the BIG JOKER, Little Joker, & 2 of spades when the Jokers option is on. My computer generated teammate BID a NIL but had a BIG JOKER. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!!! This pisses off REAL spades players!!!! ### 5/5 — Best spades game ever! *2026-01-01, version 2.6.3* This is really the best spades game that I have ever played.There is very limited ads and it is a load of fun.I have played a lot of different games and by far this one can’t be beat.I absolutely love this game! ### 2/5 — -10 stars *2025-12-11, version 2.6.3* This continues to be a set other players as often as possible game, not a real spades trick taking game. The only way they can do this is by frequenting cheating….Update is worse than usual. Had to dumb it down to have reasonable play. ### 4/5 — Review *2025-11-29, version 2.6.3* I enjoyed the older version ### 5/5 — Glitches *2025-10-27, version 2.5.8* I had an account under CharleeKing and it was crashing. I decided to remove the app and reinstalled. I was not able to get my first account back so I had to start all over again with a new account under CHARLEEKING1. That’s a bummer! ### 1/5 — A game against AI not people *2025-07-04, version 2.5.8* Why bother playing a game that’s almost impossible to win because the developers have AI intertwined with it. When I first played this game many years ago when there was no such thing as AI. It makes me furious. You can’t call a meld and win much, so you’re stuck with a very bad hand if cards that are so low in number which drags the game out longer and makes me drowsy just waiting till the end of the game comes. I WISH the developers would consider making it a true game of cards where you can use your skills and not be tricked by AI. I really thought this was THE BEST spades game in the App Store, but now I am ready to delete the app because of the horrible frustration I get from playing it. PLEASE developers, can you PLEASE take out the AI????? Then you might have more gamers playing your card game. ### 5/5 — Missing Jokers and wid cards *2025-05-11, version 2.5.8* I like this game but it feels like it’s missing the traditional spades cards like Jokers and wild card like 2 of diamonds being a spade and 2 of spades being a high card. ## Frequently asked questions about Spades Gold ### What is Spades Gold?
