Is it programmed to play bad. ### 3/5 — SPADES *2024-05-05, version 2.16* It would be a better game if your opposite player realized you have a partnership. Come on…add partnerships. And let us pick our own team members faces. I am sick of that lil cartoon to the left of me. ### 3/5 — Dumb partner *2023-10-24, version 2.15* As with all the spades game’s sometimes your AI partner plays like they never played before ### 4/5 — Fun game but ads ruin it *2023-09-21, version 2.15* Other than having a very unpredictable partner this is an entertaining game. I finally quit and deleted after growing tired of being bombarded with sophomoric inane ads by a company peddling a game called Royal Match. ### 3/5 — Spotty *2023-05-22, version 2.12* Player teamed with Megan has to carry her in every hand. The task of stopping a NO bid is clearly faulty, and bidding Ridiculous is evident in every game. The designer for this game is novice at best. Sugarfoot 29 ### 2/5 — Ads Freeze And Spoil The Game *2023-01-18, version 2.12* The game itself is pretty good, and I expect to see the ads, but they are more annoying because when the ads end they either freeze the screen or it goes black without returning to the game. You have to completely exit and start the game again. Disappointing, frustrating, and not worth the trouble. ### 2/5 — Spades *2022-07-01, version 2.10* I would like to have the cards given out completely at random, it is not random. If you bid a nil bid you get a bunch of low cards most of the time. If you bid a double nil you make your bid every time, it’s like a present. Give the cards out at random please. ### 4/5 — Megan overbids habitually *2022-06-06, version 2.10* Megan didn’t make her bid 6 times in one game. This isn’t realistic. ### 3/5 — Megan is the worst partner *2022-05-04, version 2.10* I see everyone has the same complaint. Would love to slap her on numerous occasions. ### 3/5 — Like the game but….. *2022-04-08, version 2.10* Ok guys it’s time to make some more diverse characters for this game. It’s a really cool game to play, but we don’t all look like Megan, Charles & Tommy. ### 4/5 — Almost Five Stars *2022-01-17, version 2.08* This is a good game, but the pop-up adds definitely detract from the enjoyment. I like this game so much, I would pay to remove the adds, but this option isn’t offered. ### 3/5 — Spades lady *2021-09-11, version 2.05* Hate the appearance of ads. Original download did not have them! Otherwise, game is good. ### 4/5 — Spades idea *2021-07-22, version 2.05* It would be cool if the jokers could be added as additional points/books like the real game, and remove the two of clubs and of hearts. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Megan is a lousy partner. *2024-09-07, version 2.16* This game gives you the same partner and you cannot change out. When you choose the most difficult level Megan often makes very poor bids or poor plays to make you lose. ### 1/5 — Commercials *2024-02-19, version 2.16* Way, way too many commercials. Takes the fun out of playing. ### 1/5 — Horrible !! *2022-06-17, version 2.10* IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO ENJOY THIS GAME BECAUSE ADS ARE ACTUALLY COVERING HALF OF THE CARDS PEOPLE ARE PLAYING !! AS USUAL THE DEVELOPER IS MORE INTERESTED IN SELLING ADS AND GIVES NO THOUGHT TO HOW INCONVENIENT THE GAME REALLY IS !! I AM DELETING THIS App !!! ### 1/5 — New version shows an ad on startup *2022-03-23, version 2.08* Greed is a powerful motivator. I have been playing spades for several years and enjoyed it. However, the latest update shows an ad on startup. Since ad producers do everything in their power to keep you from exiting, I have gotten to the point that I kill the app and restart to avoid ads that I’m not interested in. Ad developers have ruined it for everyone. You just lost a daily user of your app. ### 1/5 — Hasn’t load for months on iPad *2021-12-10, version 2.08* This used to be one of my favorite games, still is on my iPhone, but it brings up the game and allows you to pick a different name to play under then won’t start. I’ve deleted it and reloaded it but to no avail. I’ve kept so long because I figured the developers would eventually publish a fix. A new fix was announced the other day so I applied it and launched it only to have it get stuck again. I guess the iPad version is out of business. ### 1/5 — Non functioning *2021-11-29, version 2.07* Game no longer works despite updates ### 1/5 — Spades *2021-08-10, version 2.05* I enjoyed his game initially, but after a while it starts to play unfairly. Calling one trick whilst holding seven trump cards is not in keeping with the manners of the game, indeed, it's cheating. I've been playing this for several years and after all this time the game has changed from a very fair game. Early levels are great, but today after playing the Ace trump, two hands later the card was played again by the opposition, which is impossible i am now deleting it. ### 1/5 — Spades *2021-07-22, version 2.05* I always enjoy playing Spades when I am watching TV. It is a fast moving game and doesn’t last forever! ### 1/5 — ReviEw *2021-04-19, version 2.04* To many ads ### 1/5 — Spades *2021-03-02, version 2.04* Keeps freezing when I play. Very frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Spades *2024-12-19, version 2.16* Love the game happy it’s free👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻nice for seniors!! ### 5/5 — Card games *2024-07-18, version 2.16* I like, ### 5/5 — Happy player *2023-01-26, version 2.12* I really enjoy playing Optime Spades,! It’s fun and reliable. ### 5/5 — Spades *2022-12-13, version 2.12* Love how quickly the game moves ### 5/5 — 2 Thumbs up *2022-04-07, version 2.10* Fast moving game Keeps the brain active ### 5/5 — Fun game *2021-12-14, version 1.60* I like this game but, my partner sabotages me sometimes; for example, if I do a blind 0, and when my cards are turned over and I have high cards, say an ace of spade or king of spades, and I pass those to Megan, she sometimes throws a lower card than I am playing and lower than our opponents played holding the high cards I just gave her; sometimes this causes us to loose that hand by 200 points. That's jacked up all day long! Megan needs to be reprogrammed! ### 5/5 — Spades *2021-08-14, version 2.05* Have enjoyed playing this game daily, however, there is a bug now where I cannot make a bid. Please fix this. ### 5/5 — Last game each day! *2021-07-16, version 2.05* Love it but do wish they had a lot more deals so I wouldn’t recognize the same hands. It’s my last game of the day so good night. ### 5/5 — Geoff *2021-07-14, version 2.05* I simply hate the new app colours. Why not something like…..exactly what you had previous to this. The new scheme is hard on the eyes and the cards are too bold. ### 5/5 — New Layout *2021-01-19, version 2.02* New layout too small, too bright and no longer the game I so enjoyed playing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
