I would love it if you could enter ongoing games that people have left, instead of being stuck with an AI. This is an add on to previous review. People are constantly quitting the game when it’s not going their way. This is not fun for those of us who don’t quit. I got banned from changing my name, for only god knows what reason, but people can quit left and right. I think there should be some consequences for quitting and throwing games. Sometimes when they get mad at their partner they just start bidding crazy and throwing anything. ### 3/5 — Fun but *2026-09-09, version 2026.13* Fun game but come on…ads after every hand which take less than a minute to play…ads last longer than that. All about the $ not the enjoyment. ### 3/5 — Leaving the game early *2026-09-07, version 2026.12* If yall really want to prevent people from leaving the game early there needs to be a bigger penalty. More like a 20 point penalty. I personally don’t mind leaving the game earlier if I’m only going to lose 2 points. 2 points is a drop in a bucket. Now 20 points….i would think twice. ### 3/5 — Partner is an inferior player *2026-09-06, version 2026.12* The partner doesn’t keep his higher cards when playing on a trick he isn’t taking, causing the team to lose a following trick he could have won. It’s frustrating. ### 2/5 — Stupid Bots *2026-09-02, version 2026.12* The bots are stupid. They set your nil, they underbid, and get unnecessary bags. There are too many quitters who should be penalized. There should also be an option for someone to sit after someone leaves. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-09-01, version 2026.12* The ads completely take over the game. I should only have to pay one time, not a subscription to remove ads. Are you insane? Also, the computers are terrible and clearly know all cards on table Play Euchre if you like cards on phone ### 1/5 — Absolute trash!!!!! *2026-08-30, version 2026.12* It’s full of players losing on purpose. They match you up horribly as far as ratings go. And on top of that, when you wrote feedback the developers tell you they can’t do anything to fix it. Literally play any other spade app, this one is GARBAGE. ### 3/5 — Has gotten worse *2026-08-29, version 2026.12* This is prob the best spades game but the bots are terrible! It’s also infested with ads. I wish the bots had some type of strategic way of playing. Also please make a version where there’s no NIL there are way too many NILs, it ruins the fun. ### 1/5 — Ads out of control *2026-08-26, version 2026.12* It has been ridiculous that for a long time ads that appear you have to click out 3 times to get back to the game, now adds, especially Rhoback, is so long you get booted from the game. When you try to report problems, it tells you to configure an email, but no way to do so ### 2/5 — The ads make this game unplayable *2026-08-26, version 2026.12* I paid a premium in the previous version of this game to upgrade to Spades ++ which removed the ads. I added a new iPad to my account but was unable to restore to the ad-free version. The game play is fantastic, but the ads are awful and the cost to remove the ads is a ridiculous subscription model. Not a satisfied customer. ### 1/5 — Rewarding quitters and punishing winners🤬 *2026-08-25, version 2026.12* New version released 1 day ago 2026.12 rewards t losers and rage sabotage players with points that are taken from the winner! ### 4/5 — ADS *2026-08-24, version 2026.11* The ads are absolutely ridiculous and frequently have you booted for inactivity ### 1/5 — AI Slop *2026-08-24, version 2026.11* Loved this game for years but the AI is absolutely horrible. They’ll spade early for no reason and make the dumbest decisions ever. ### 1/5 — It’s become unplayable *2026-08-22, version 2026.11* Used to enjoy this game but recently when I play a rated game, after the first hand I get a 30 second long ad that I can’t close. The length of the add results in me being booted from my game. So I literally can’t play. I’m used to the ads between hands but they’re never been this long and never resulted in me being booted from games. ### 1/5 — Ads in the middle of game play *2026-08-21, version 2026.11* What happened with the ads? It used to be that you’d see an ad between hands. Annoying? A little. But it’s a free app so whatever. All of a sudden, ads have started popping up right in the middle of playing. I’ll play a card and then an ad pops up and when it’s gone, the other cards have all been played and I can’t see what they were. It’s been a good run but after 8 years I’m deleting this game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deeply Disturbing Ads *2026-09-09, version 2026.13* The app is solid, but being subjected to the Gossip Harbor ads where a child is scalded with boiling water, or a child walks in the snow barefoot, or a woman and child starve to death, several times a game has become too much to ignore. ### 1/5 — Don’t do it *2026-09-08, version 2026.13* You have a better chance at winning the lottery than finishing a game here. To get past 1-2 rounds is a miracle. It’s become the norm to quit soon as something goes wrong. 1 too many bags, set, etc. You also have to learn the “x” out routine to get past ads and back to game in time before you are booted. Trust me…just look at the names of players. Most involve the word quit. Nuff said. Don’t do it! ### 1/5 — Deals *2026-09-07, version 2026.13* Plenty of times the dealer doesn’t give you a chance. Game over at the start because the deals are one-sided ### 1/5 — Worst spades *2026-09-07, version 2026.13* Partners cut you. People leave constantly and when they do the computer sabotages you or comes back and beats you by a miracle. If you play with a player under 1500 good luck and you can progress. ### 1/5 — Deleted it *2026-09-07, version 2026.12* AI consistently screws up nil. Like over half the time. ### 1/5 — Ads! *2026-09-06, version 2026.12* Too many ads after each hand and will boot you from the game because the ads are freezing. App will then ban you for abandoning game ### 1/5 — Ads get you kicked out *2026-09-05, version 2026.12* There are ads after every hand and they last so long, you get booted from your game. There is no way to exit from the ads! This is absolutely ridiculous. ### 1/5 — WHY ADS BETWEEN EVERY HAND? *2026-09-04, version 2026.12* I opened my paint by number picture to finish playing it another when this came came up as an advertisement. I never got to finish the game. I open to finish because I could never get rid of this ad. It’s just another app where you cannot play anything until you get the app but – WAIT! Even when you download THE APP, you can never get back to the app that you open to finish it!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Ads make this unplayable *2026-09-03, version 2026.12* If you play single player you will need to look at an ad every hand. that is 30 seconds of playing an 10 seconds ads. I deleted this app. ### 1/5 — Ads galore! *2026-09-02, version 2026.12* Ads pop up after each hand. Scoring is completely wrong awarding the opponent more points than they acquired. Epic failure. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Poor ai *2026-09-06, version 2026.12* The has a very poorly written bot game, so beware of that but besides that functions perfectly ### 5/5 — Spades *2026-09-06, version 2026.12* I love playing this game but why is it necessary for an ad after each hand…so annoying. ### 5/5 — Spades Improvement suggestions *2026-09-06, version 2026.12* #1 - There needs to be something done to minimize the rampant quitting of games that happens more than half the time in multiplayer games. People go nil, take a trick and then quit the game. or their partner does. Or someone in a game to 500 gets behind by over 100 points and leaves. Or it’s at the end of the game and they are behind so they quit to maintain what they must view as a “perfect” record. that’s just few examples. I suggest removing multiple tokens from the quitters so they can’t keep doing that. and start your AI tracking who these people are and flag them. #2. AI players need to be programmed to lead their high cards when their partner goes nil. Please fix thjs - it happens much too often that they will lead a lower card than another one of the same suit that they have in their hand #3. Fix ads so they don’t take more than two or three keystrokes to bypass. or make getting out of them consistent. This may be one reason people get booted out of a game more than they should. Fix these things and you will greatly improve the user experience and increase usage. THANKS! . ### 5/5 — Spades *2026-09-06, version 2026.12* I would like to play with experience players that’s just having fun ### 5/5 — ADDSS *2026-08-29, version 2026.12* Get kick out of games because you can’t click out of some ads smh. They add AI difficulty cool. Game not Harder they just get better hands and your AI still bump on purpose when you up so you lose ### 5/5 — Words to choose from *2026-08-15, version 2026.11* I wish we could add the option to click the word “sorry” can we please add this word? Sometimes when I mess up, I wish I could hit the word sorry but all you have is the word ouch. So I guess I just wish there was one more word option. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Best Spades Game *2026-08-12, version 2026.11* I love this version!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing game! Message to devs! *2026-08-09, version 2026.11* Love this game! Can you please add an option to pay so the ads will go away. I’d happily pay to get rid of the ads in this game. Best spades game on mobile!! ### 5/5 — Great time waster! *2026-08-05, version 2026.11* I am hooked ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-27, version 2026.11* Great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
