Great card game!!
Need to work on the program to protect partner going nil. Last game partner played a 3 of diamonds!
I have found many times when I bid nil my partner does not cover me. The latest one was when I had a K and 6 of spades and my partner had the A and Q of spades. They needed one more trick to make their bid. The opponents played a 5 and J of spades. I had to play my 6. My partner took the trick with their A. Why? They should have used the Q and saved the A to cover me.

Too many ad’s.
Minimal advertisements; good graphics. Far better than the previous spades app I was using.
I’ll do not like this new update at all. I like how everything set on top and all you have to do is click it now you gotta click a bunch of ties. Please bring the old style back. Thank you.
Your partner is a fool don’t trust him. The game is good because you get 100 pts for a nil and 200 for a blind. You can blind it on the first deal and more than 50% of the time the game will try to cheat you and you get 200pts. Your idiotic parter won’t make his books more than half the time, but you are so far ahead that as long as you don’t trust your partner you will win. If you start trusting you will be busting and that is a bad place to be when the computer is dealing itself pad hands.

The trick to figuring out a good spades game is by using your mind. Why are there 4 different game developers all advertising their App as #1? Because Apple doesn’t care to verify the ratings because they make Ad revenue by allowing anything on their platform. Meanwhile, the game developers make money by marketing a falsehood. This Spades game sits near the bottom in popularity. Let’s keep this App a secret and leave the dumb AI algorithms for the gullible and naive.

They might have changed something, but I’m having the opposite experience of most who play with partners. Unless I have the Ace of spades, I can just bid Nil every time and we always win the game. East/west doesn’t seem to even try.
Need to adjust the bidding entry box to allow confirmation
I used to like to play this game. It was crazy how my “partner” would bid huge numbers-and never get them. I changed the settings to more conservative playing and that helped for awhile. The “partner” has NEVER protected NIL bids— except for the opposing team-consistently playing his highest cards and effectively giving the other team the NIL every time. Now- every hand the opposing team either has a huge hand or bids NIL. In these last few days I have not been able to win one game. It is frustrating to say the least. So, if you want to lose every game-play this Spades app. You will be happy every time! I gave it two stars because before it actually gave you a chance to win—now it is just NIL after NIL-huge opposing team bids leaving you no chance. Good luck! Switching to new app.

Love this game with very limited ads. There is an ad banner across the top but doesn’t interfere with play. My only complaint is the computer does not always seem to recognize when their partner has bid nil so doesn’t play a higher card for protection.
6.7.1 not work!!!!
It’s ok
Your partner does not understand the game and will constantly over bid. Your partner will go nil with four Trump cards and off course never learns.
Fun game but some times i feel like they designed the game for my computer partner to make certain plays to keep our opponents in the race to win.
If you are bored with a little time on your hands then this is perfect to pass the time.
Most of the time my partner wastes trump when I bid nil. Also my partner overbids most of the time.
If I bid zero my partner will come out with a low card so I will lose my bid zero
Great layout, everything is perfect except for the programming. Computer does plays that you would never do in real life. protecting the zero play is nonexistent. This thing would rather take bags than protect the partners zero bid
