### 4/5 — Fun

*2021-07-02, version 2.04*

Good game

### 2/5 — Rick

*2021-02-04*

Good way to pass time. Needs ability to change " MEGAN's" name. Need a partner I can predict! 
Seems like the entire page is reconfigured and low res?

### 2/5 — Disappointed with the ads the keep popping up

*2021-01-23*

I paid for the add free version and now I have started getting ads anyway. Not cool.

### 3/5 — Font Change

*2021-01-18, version 2.02*

Much prefer the original font

### 4/5 — Good fun

*2020-07-13*

I do like this game, but my AI partner is not very good: never bids nil, and sometimes can’t even make a trick after bidding one.

### 3/5 — Could improve....

*2019-11-03*

I agree with Lil c####, and would like to trade partners once in a while too. It’s not easy to outsmart the computer and the way you’ve setup scoring for my opponents. But I’m still playing and enjoy Spades on the whole.

### 3/5 — Not bad but...

*2018-11-12, version 1.60*

Hi there - two issues as far as I can tell.

Firstly, the game often won’t allow me to bid blind nil - surely I should have that option with each round.

Secondly, much of the text is cut off in the ‘how to play’ section.

Fix this please?

### 4/5 — Keeps you thinking

*2018-04-11*

Using strategy keeps you thinking and luv competition.

### 2/5 — Spade Game

*2018-03-29*

Please, please reprogram the game so once we hit our bids, Megan stops taking bags.  And when we need to throw bags to the opponent, Megan stops taking tricks.  There is nothing more frustrating then at the end of the game we can get the opponent to get ten bags, the Megan takes them ruining the chance to win.  If that’s what you define as difficult, I define as moronic!

### 5/5 — Keeps me busy

*2017-08-17*

This is a fun game, I have been playing for over a year now and really like it. It keeps me busy when waiting to see my doctor or waiting in line at the checkout counter, best part no adds stopping game ever other minute.

### 5/5 — Spades Pro

*2017-07-30*

Enjoy playing to get better at bidding.

### 5/5 — Ari

*2017-06-29, version 1.60*

Great game, fast and colorful!

### 5/5 — Spades HD

*2017-06-24, version 1.60*

I have been playing this enjoyable fun game for years and I can thoroughly lose myself in it!

### 5/5 — Spades

*2017-06-24, version 1.60*

Great game. Clear graphics.

### 5/5 — Spades

*2017-06-22, version 1.60*

Brilliant game, quite addictive

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2017-06-15*

I really like the game, its faster and it is fun!!! I think it is just like spades in real world games... I do think it could use a undo or try again button, but otherwise love it!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not Good

*2023-04-03*

The AI plays poorly.  The latest game froze.  Doesn’t keep stats like Win Loss record.  I don’t play with the blind nil bid, so I don’t know the rule, but it is only an option some of the time.  It is not explained in the rules on the app.

### 1/5 — Rubbish changes

*2021-01-26, version 2.03*

Since the last update. The screen has totally changed so everything is so small it’s an effort to read. Also it doesn’t say when you’ve won so it’s easy to move to the next game without realising.

### 1/5 — They updated their format. Not impressed.

*2021-01-16*

I really liked the older format. Nice large card size. Now it seems micro in comparison. Just trying out this new version I hope that Magen is a better partner player.

### 1/5 — Cards

*2021-01-15*

Too small

### 1/5 — Megan is a terrible partner!!

*2017-01-27, version 1.45*

Megan (your one and only partner) will often bid high when she doesn't have a good hand. Also, beware of bidding zero. She will occasionally throw a card much lower than your's and later throw a card in the same suit that is much higher than she threw earlier. 

I'm deleting this game. Regrettably, I wasted my money on it.

### 1/5 — FLAWED LOGIC

*2015-12-23, version 1.45*

In what Spades world does someone throw a king before the ace is played, when a lower value card is still in the playing hand?  This one flaw is very frustrating.  Fix please!

### 1/5 — Spades...?

*2015-07-18, version 1.45*

If you are a true spades player this game is not for you. Hands and games seem to be scripted. Also, you should be able to pick a partner male.., female.., and race and not be stuck with default partner.

### 1/5 — Spades hd

*2015-06-13, version 1.45*

AI partner will not cover nil. Pretty worthless. AI partner constantly over bids, especially when you have a large lead. Only challenge is trying to anticipate whether the AI has under or overbid.

### 1/5 — Don't go Bling Nil !!!

*2015-05-30, version 1.45*

This program is lame on hard level- your " partner" is terrible especially when you're playing blind nil AND you get an Ace of Spades about 80% of the time !!! Lame program !!! Don't waste your money !!!

### 1/5 — Poorly Designed

*2015-01-25, version 1.45*

Hard mode basically consists of having a moron for a partner.  If you have a singleton mid spade.  You can be sure your partner will break trump with a Ace  and then lead the 2 of spades, ensuring you will go down if you have a zero bid. Save yourself the aggravation and find a different app!

### 5/5 — Louise

*2021-02-06*

Great game except uses same photo for both opponents.

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2021-01-18*

Although I love this game and play it everyday....it’s my “go to” game always, I’m not liking the new changes in the last several days.  The colors are washed out.  The summary score sheet shows up all over the place, not in the middle like before.  Also, there is no fanfare when a game is over.  Several times a new game started before I realized the game was over and I didn’t catch who one because of it.

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-10-29, version 1.60*

This game is marvelous

### 5/5 — At first

*2019-12-26*

it’s awesome! However, playing each level 3x’s, you know the moves each “character” is going to make EACH TIME, even if you change up yours, so it’s not as interesting as it used to be.

### 5/5 — Good fun

*2019-12-09, version 1.60*

Nice game

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-11-27*

This game is fun to play.  It's challenging and makes you think.  We like that.

### 5/5 — This Game is the best

*2018-10-25*

I love this game even though sometimes I want to hurt my partner I still love it. I really passes the time away. Saves me from becoming angry when I’m out and about taking care of business. When I am in a very long lines or just bored. 

I hope this game last a lifetime!!!

### 5/5 — Nice way to spend some time

*2018-05-23*

This is an enjoyable app. The Hard level is challenging but not to the point where you can never win. 

I would like it better if you could change partners or have different levels of partners to choose.

### 5/5 — Spades

*2018-04-22*

Enjoy playing! Lots of fun.

### 5/5 — Mr.

*2018-02-03, version 1.60*

Great game!
