No idea what’s wrong w/ the bots but they ruin the play & you shouldn’t lose points when you have one b/c they’re so bad. They’ll set you & not cover nils, they’ll then take excessive bags when you’re about to bag out & cause you to lose. Otherwise game is great ### 2/5 — Spades *2026-04-25, version 4.0.8* It’s loaded you either get cards or you don’t if you don’t get the same amount as the other team does you lose it? It’s not a fair game. The developer got a hold of me and say it’s a fair game. I beg to differ, but that’s just my opinion. ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2026-04-23, version 4.0.8* I really enjoy your application and future updates. Can you consider having a suggestion box where three players can agree to boot a player who is the sore loser and purposely slows down the game or is extremely rude. There was a Spades app that I used to play where you can invite a friend to play at your table and if three of the four players agree to boot once that third agreement is reached, that player is automatically kicked off and given a loss on their record and points deducted ### 3/5 — Good game *2026-01-09, version 4.0.8* They need to teach bots how to play better and realistic because getting five bags is ridiculous ### 3/5 — Good game *2025-08-20, version 4.0.8* Program have issues such as during game becoming small and forced to leave game. ### 3/5 — Good game *2025-03-29, version 4.0.8* Need to improve bots performance. They still have not fix bots performance. There are problems with system and I report it and nothing is done ### 3/5 — Changes needed!!! *2025-03-13, version 4.0.8* I too have been playing this game for a long time before the betting side came about. I’d really like to see the bots skill level be addressed. They seem to bid very low with great hands and overbid and get set way too frequent. They also have no concept of the bag totals. They are more than willing to take extra bags even when you’re at the max. Also for betting, why am I putting in 1800 only to win 900? Shouldn’t you at least bet to double your money? Hopefully some of these changes will get addressed soon. ### 3/5 — Good game *2025-02-19, version 4.0.8* Need to improve bots performance. They still have not fix bots performance ### 3/5 — Ads Constantly Stuck *2025-01-18, version 4.0.8* This is getting to be ridiculous! The ads at the bottom of the screen constantly get stuck & you can’t see your cards to even bid! Other people have the same issue & I’m about done trying to play this game!! ### 1/5 — Gets worse and worse *2024-07-09, version 4.0.6* Update #3 when I win a game, the app adds the points earned but then immediately subtracts them. I’ve gone from close to 30,000 points to less then 10,000. Should run out soon. Another update (#2): I bet and the points are taken away but never opens a game. Just lost 1800 points three times and still no game opens up. Update: So tired of large ads covering keyboard so you cannot bet, or play. Can’t tell other players why you can’t play either (or leave game) as everything is under ad that covers at least the bottom 1/3 of phone screen. Also game locks up many times after a win so you don’t get your points earned. PLEASE JUST GO BACK TO PLAY WITHOUT HAVING TO BET and GETTING MISPROGRAMMED BOTS to ENSURE LOOSING. Did not like that I had to sit through yet ANOTHER ad each day to earn coins I’d never use to bet. Just want to play the card game. But low and behold, the game now only gives me the option to bet coins (cannot try to play with others on line) and I’m seeing the bots are being sure I loose. I ‘bet’ once I run out of coins, the game is going to ask me to purchase coins. Why not just let people play the game? Looks like soon I’ll be moving on to another spades game. ### 2/5 — Gets worse and worse *2024-07-02* Another update: I bet and the points are taken away but never opens a game.

Thanks for the collaboration! ### 1/5 — Coins *2024-06-16, version 4.0.6* Rip off game. It drops CONSTANTLY when you’re playing and you have to pay more coins to get back in the same game. People also slow down when losing so the don’t get coins deducted. Very poor server they use here. I’m owed many, many coins from game drops. Think I’ll get them back? 🙄 ### 4/5 — Please fix lost bets when no server connection *2024-04-12, version 4.0.6* I enjoy the game much. I dislike paying points when the application doesn’t connect and actually play a game. Seems unfair iOS version is 17.4.1 iPhone 11 is the model App version is 4.0.6 ### 2/5 — New changes *2024-04-04, version 4.0.6* I do not like the changes to have to bet or look at videos to play this spades game. I dislike when the game freezes it doesn’t take you back to the game you were in. It makes you have to rebet more coins in order to play. This app for spades used to be the best now getting to be the worst. ### 1/5 — Longtime player, newfound disappointment *2024-03-31, version 4.0.4* Played for years and everything was great. I overlooked the betting update and all of a sudden, it now takes your coins but a game will not load. The game has crashed or something. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-04-08, version 4.0.8* Blocks from chat for no reason; fake bots who make you lose on purpose ### 1/5 — Spades *2026-03-29, version 4.0.8* Way too many bots in the game, have been playing on this app before the bet mode was installed and I have enjoyed it for a long e, but now it’s been too many Rand they usually suck. ### 1/5 — Programming sucks *2026-02-01, version 4.0.8* Bots suck and that’s your partner a majority of the time. ### 1/5 — Call it bag not spades *2025-06-29, version 4.0.8* After all the updates and changes have ran off most of the players you get stuck with a bot that bids low and helps you lose by getting 10 bags. ### 1/5 — No Response *2025-03-09, version 4.0.8* Been trying over a week to get response to see if paid version without adds is available. Replied in Spanish that someone would respond back. Nada. ### 1/5 — Hot garbage - continues to get worse *2025-02-09, version 4.0.8* Gameplay- Saying nothing of the fact that the programming of the bots in the game is painfully lacking, the alleged issue with the bots cutting tricks they don’t need to make their bids while not covering your nil bid has NOT been fixed. There is a clear algorithm in the background of the card distribution that allows for closer competition, especially true when competing against bots. Suffice to say the card distribution is not random in any game mode. Advertisements- Entirely too many and too often, they are too obtrusive, oftentimes popping up unexpectedly and covering significant parts of the screen (like your cards that you need to see,) and having no way to get rid of them. You cannot rejoin a game you’ve left. Interestingly enough, for giggles, I tested the “countdown timer” on how long I had to wait to view the next ad to get the bonus 215 coins.. I’m not sure what timekeeping system they are using to track 20 minutes, but it isn’t one based in our universe. Jogatina- despicable. You know what you did with the clock. Fix that, and don’t be frauds. ### 1/5 — STOP the middle of game take over ads!!!! *2025-01-14, version 4.0.8* Why would you have pop up ads take over in the middle of the game?! It makes no sense. It slows down the play and half time you have close the app to get back in and lose coins. Fix this immediately! You all are ruining the game ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-11-03, version 4.0.7* Hi! Our mission is to provide the worst possible app and the feedback from our users is the least important thing to us. This feedback will not be delivered to our product area for proper evaluation. ### 1/5 — Game was ruined *2024-10-05, version 4.0.7* This used to be good, but now it’s just awful. When I play the practice rounds, all of my cards are between 10 and Aces. It’s no fun when the cards aren’t randomly dealt. ### 1/5 — Call it bag not spades *2024-09-06, version 4.0.7* After all the updates and changes have ran off most of the players you get stuck with a bot that bids low and helps you lose by getting 10 bags. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I’ve had this game 7 years. *2026-04-27* Always a must have app cause of the easy access online game feature. **Developer response:** Hi! Our mission is to provide the best possible app and feedbacks from our users are the most important thing to us. Thanks a lot! We take this opportunity to invite you to try our applications by searching 'Jogatina' on your device! 😊 ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-10-09, version 4.0.8* I played this game daily. The only thing I miss is being able to play with the same group of people over and over I think that we should be able to. Still play with a group that we like until we just leave and play with a different group. ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2025-09-09, version 4.0.8* I love to play this game when I’m bored and I have nothing to do and when I just want to relax and chill ### 5/5 — Jogatina spades *2024-09-19* I have been playing this game for years, before the added betting mode finally happened. Since that has bee implemented the game has gone down. Nearly every game I’m in has only bits for opponents and they are unpredictable and not really good competition. I believe that the betting mode has too many issues, like one of the reviews that I read said, the coins are deducted from my balance and the game ends without my winning being added. It’s extremely frustrating and I miss the old way. I do realize that is how you are trying to earn your money by the countless ads for every game you enter, but would much rather be playing with real people. Is that a possibility? **Developer response:** Hi! Our mission is to provide the best possible app and the feedback from our users is the most important thing to us.

Thank you ### 5/5 — Bots *2023-03-26, version 3.6.9* Incredible app. Simple, elegant, customizable without being overwhelming. It’s a great app. If I could make 1 change it would be the bots. Idk who coded those things, but they need to be fired and replaced by like a blind pig and it would probably give better results. ### 5/5 — Can’t log in *2023-02-05, version 3.6.9* If logged in previously via FB, have to log out then log back in via FB to play the next time. Also, app hanging up most times when 2 or more players have left, not allowing you to play again without rebooting device. ### 5/5 — Jogatina Spades *2023-01-18, version 3.6.8* This is my best Spades ♠️ Game. I love it!!! ### 5/5 — Great time passer *2022-09-15, version 3.6.8* I play this game all the time to pass time. I really enjoy playing against the robots actually I prefer to play with the robots because every time I play on line my partner seems to be an idiot..lol they are extra slow and the don’t know how to play so they either over bid or under bid and we lose the game. I do lose with the robots sometimes but the game goes much faster and it is still challenging. ### 5/5 — No update *2021-05-27, version 3.4.1* FIXED: Game keeps telling me to update but then there is no update and it just tells me to open it. I Restarted my computer and it continues to ask me to do updates that aren’t there. UPDDATE...developer has fixed the problem. Great game to play, rapid response, thank you --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
