Best Spades Game Ever
I’ve spent so much time playing this game I don’t know what my children look like. No regrets.
Spam popups
Do you like popups between rounds of spades that claim your phone has a virus? Then this is the app for you.
Terrible AI on partners
You really need to improve your bots to make this realistic. Every time I go nil, my “partner” breaks in with the highest spade in its hand. This is VIRTUALLY NEVER DONE in spades. You break in with your low spade so you can cover your partner later with your high spade. Please fix this! Also, when you’ve made your tricks, you try to DUCK THE REMAINDER OF THE TRICKS unless you can set the opponents. Your AI thinks it should keep trumping in on tricks. I can’t stand to play it anymore until these are remedied.

Comeback mechanic in multiplayer games is ridiculous
The game is wonderful, but multiplayer rated games have this comeback mechanic where the team that down in points consistently gets favorable hands, much more so than if the game’s RNG was truly random. It makes it annoying to be able to predict how the game is going to go based on who is down after the first hand and by how much.

Ads you can’t close
Ads come up a lot some you can’t close and it boots you from the game. Deleted app finally so annoying
Stupid Bots
The bots are stupid. They set your nil, they underbid, they set their partners, and get unnecessary bags. On the single games, I feel it's rigged to make you lose. At least rotate the bots instead of making me play with the dumbest one
No exit from add
I had to delete the game because there wasn’t an exit from the add!! I got booted from the game I was playing!
Ads
The ads are causing a major problem. Sometimes it glitches and I can’t click on the x to progress and get booted from the game. On a rated game! Usually decreasing my rating. Please fix this.
Ads have ruined the game
The ads take longer than the rounds. It’s a shame as they’ve ruined what was a good game
Horrible algorithm
This game has a horrible algorithm. Too many times I have played ranked matches and the game has allowed me to get 2,000 plus points, just to drop me back down to 1,900. I have not exceeded my highest score or underperformed my lowest score. But whenever I start to do well, it’s like the game purposefully gives me the worst hands with the worst partners. It is a decent way to past time. But it’s horrible when it comes down to cards dealt and partners selected to play with in ranked matches. Like I said it has a horrible algorithm…

Suckered
The old ++ app was very iffy, but this one has game adverts that you can’t get opt out of.
Spare one more penny.
Great game. Just too many advertisements.
Leaving the game rules
There needs to be better rules/penalty for leaving the game.. some people do stuff to give the game away and leave the match and it’s not fair to the teammate . For example bidding nil on purpose knowing they’re going to get a book..
Too slow
I generally enjoy this game, it makes you think, but I hate the scoring. I usually just want a quick game but the scoring keeps sending you backwards and I don't have time for that.
Good
Yes
Do better
Nothing worse than an ad between hands with no exit button, causing boot from game and reduction in rating. Also, if my partner quits or is booted and I win, I want double the score for a win, or half for a loss.
Garbage app
Your idiot game boots when you bid very high because it thinks you’re trying to tank the game and boots you. Stop doing that!!! Sometimes you really have all high cards. ALSO, AI plays like garbage. I paid for this app and never knew there was a limit to number of games to play. Play is way toooo slow. Give a shorter time limit. I never recommend this app and

Scam ads
Ads appear to be from Nordstrom but are actually from Novethery.com which is NOT affiliated with Nordstrom. Very sketchy!!! I would give them 5 stars if they vetted their ads better.
Great game with a few downfalls
Of all the spades apps I’ve used, this one has the least amount of visual clutter and extra unnecessary features so that makes it great for easy use.. I can just open the app and get straight into a game. That being said, the two biggest issues, that other people have also cited, are: 1) Ads when playing multiplayer are sometimes impossible to get out of and if you take too long to hit the button to end the ad, you’ll get booted from the game. 2) when I try to go into a rated, there have been multiple times where the game will appear and then I’ll immediately get booted from the game or it will disconnect but because I was briefly in the game (not even long enough for my cards to appear) It will still count against me as an abandoned game and if the game continues and whoever my partner was in the game loses, I also lose points on my rating.
The other, bigger problem I have is with the new Ai bots that replace your partner when they abandon the game in rated multiplayer mode. The Ai plays extremely unpredictably and that’s not how humans play.. it will make mistakes that an average player won’t make and it makes it almost impossible to win.. it’s like playing with a handicap.
The last issue is more of a gripe but still could be fixed is the points system for rated games, and part of this is related to the ai bots. The game now awards players “bonus” points for staying until the end of the game when you lose however, in reality, you aren’t actually losing less points. Before when you lost a game you lost about 8 points, now with the bonus system you lose 10 points with a +2 points bonus.. which is the same amount you were losing before the “bonus” system. It’s not actually an incentive and if you are playing with an Ai bot, it’s even harder to win so you’ll still end up losing the same amount of points before the bonus initiative (-4 before the the bonus was added, -6 +2 points with the bonus). And because the Ai bot is so difficult to play with, if your partner abandons the game, it’s actually better for you to also abandon the game because the Ai bots have play better with each other than they do a human and the bots have a better chance of winning without you.
My suggestions would be to:
1) Increase the bonus points for staying to the end of the game so there’s actually a real incentive to completing the game.
2) prevent players from being booted from games if they are still in an ad, and make it easier to exit out of the ads! You have to hit a button three separate times to get out of the ads and they are strategically placed to blend in or be very small.
3) fix the glitch that causes you to lose points for a game you get disconnected from before the game even starts.
If these issues are fixed this would be a 5 Star app!
