Instructions are clear & the gameplay can be pretty fun. Only little annoyance would be that the comp partner can pick any number for their bet so def keep in mind they can set it really high and you have to meet it to win. it's still fun & doesn't detract imo, just keep in mind as you set your own

Good game. However, there is a bug that should be addressed. You are able to bid MORE than 13 books combined. I had a hand of 12 spades and an Ace of hearts, so I bid 13. My partner then proceeded to bid 6 for a total of 19.... I've had a few other less dramatic examples as well. This would be a good thing to prevent from happening.

Terrible computer partner....if you are trying to go NIL, don't count on your computer partner to pick up tricks. Over bidding partner. It's very frustrating, and with all the interrupting ads after every hand, I don't recommend this game.

Had some off the wall stuff going on up in this Cafe, but most of the time partner and AI is exceptional for a fun game, just wanna throw the off the wall stuff out there that happened very occasionally, Partner was wildin out cutting the heck out of me, throwing off with Boss cards lol and AI GOING HAM as well! Caught me off guard laughing my a** off them boys would have been playing for money, there would have been body bags plenty of em no doubt! Good outweighs the bad great game yall

Like the game, for example, being able to change, or rather raise my bid. Far too many advertisements, however! In the beginning, there were too many graphics,nonetheless, after playing a few games, came to enjoy them!

SCORING MESSED UP. Times I've not gotten any spades for the game. It gives no option for a misdeal. It's allowed opponents to play another suite of cards, a spade, when they had a card in the suit played. There needs to be options added for misdeal of no spades given. Opponents doing things they shouldn't. The scoring on the game is EXTREMELY not right. It gives more to the other team even when you get more than your amount. scoring favors the opponent very often. Idiot partner overbids a lot.

Sooooo many adds and long ones:( And partner is terrible! Actively picks up sandbag penalties when throwing off is an option, doesn't understand how to support nil bets, very frequent 2-3 under bidding picking up bags...adds a bit of a challenge, like playing with kid for a partner, but...very frustrating at times I updated this after playing multiple games where the partner did not take a book that I was winning despite being able to and me having made a nil bet. Total Garbage

Actually like this game. The cards are quite small and nothing I do, including making my display bigger, works to make the cards appear larger. But, the big issue are the ridiculous ads and how you're tricked into heading to the play store to download whatever app the ads are for, almost every single time. It's not just one ad either, it's two back to back... Every. Single. Time. It's too annoying despite that I really like how they show how many books each person bids and how many they made.

Unremarkable game with intrusive advertising. The first time I played for an hour or so with no ads. It was fine, simple AI, no pvp or alternate game modes or anything. Easy to learn, not very interesting, challenging or at all creative for someone who already plays spades. My second session I played for half an hour. I got an ad after every hand. Most ads never timed out or offered a 'skip' or close option, and required you to click >>, open store page pop-up, and then wait longer for the 'x'.

When I tap the x to skip ads, several of them launch the play store instead. It happens too often to be a coincidence. Some ads do allow skip properly, but some take several tries to skip. 2/5/23 update: Reduced my rating from 3 to 2 stars because the original complaint continues. Also, in addition to ads not closing, this game randomly opens ads on my web browser (without clicking on the ad). I've never experienced this with other apps. I have to close the browser and re-open this app.

I didn't have this app very long. At first, I really enjoyed playing, even when I lost. However, the deals seem to had started to become one-sided. Update: I noticed that the game decreased in fun & relaxation after a bad rating. I do not give a good rating just because an app wants one. I have to try it out first. Like many game apps, the gameplay becomes a headache after giving an HONEST rating the developers may not like.

At first I thought it was "fat fingers", but there are times in the middle of hands where the game just goes to advertiser's websites. That is, you leave the game and go to advertiser's websites via internet browser and you can be pretty certain it becomes part of your browsing history. This is pretty outrageous in my book. Tired of clearing browsing history after games. Find another spades game!!!! Furthermore, "hard" level is pretty easy.

Love this game... ! Could play it all day! Though occasionally I think it makes an error, but there's no way to go back to see... Okay I take that back it frequently makes errors and totaling up the scores... I just notified the creator of it, we'll see if anything's done about it... Okay I'm going to uninstall this game. Continually taking away points when you've just run one both hands, and if you try to take a screenshot of what's happened, somehow it's blocking that function to work...

the only thing I don't like is the constant ads...at the bottom of the page and after every hand I have to sit through 2 full minutes of ads. I don't even get an option to skip them until the alloted time has passed. I literally turn off my wifi and data when I play this game because the ads are super annoying...almost deleted the game, but it truly is fun to play.

The ai partner is awful. Almost always comes up short and won't aim for low bags. If they can take they will and very rarely tosses off suit when needed. The opposing team constantly trumps each other and can't even get close to breaking a nil. Otherwise it's fun. Some of the ads are a pain. It's spades though so it's great. Animations and card play are great.

I have downloaded this app multiple times and always uninstall it because of all the ads. I can understand if they want to put in an ad after every game, but there are ads after every hand! And the "X" provided to close out of the ad DOES NOT WORK, it usually just gives you ">>" &, if you press that, it then gives you a timed "X", making you wait several seconds before the "X" will even work.

This game is the worst of the worst in game play! I've been playing Spades for quite some time. One in every set of 50 games to 250 pts, I'd win a set. The computer cuts every diamond 'Ace' every second and third game of a set and it usually takes 3-5 games to complete a set. Then, it chops the King of clubs just at the same interval. I said that I would give this game a bit of a chance but I can't do it with this one because that's just medium play! I WISH I COULD GIVE IT NO STARS!

I do enjoy the game, however, after learning exactly how the scoring works, this game is not scored correctly. The other "team" consistently under bids yet doesn't get penalized after doing so several times. They go nil then purposely take hands to keep you from scoring. In addition, an ad after every single game is excessive. Maybe after each game, but not after each hand. The ads are longer than the actual gameplay.

When I initially downloaded the app the game was fair/fun. The musie was nice, cards were seemingly delt with equal distribution, to allow for wining sometimes, not antlymore! My digital partner sometimes plays its hand as if it's part of the apossing team. It would be nice to have the option to play solo. The aposing team are always delt winning cards that offers a slim chance of my team to win! I do not like the updated music selection!

Used to be a five for me but now it's a 3.5 so I'll round up to 4... The Ads have gotten worse consistently over the last month. They used to be quick and easy. Now they're multi-tiered with long wait times and you have to exit or advance then several times. Also, the bots are absolutely terrible at nil betting which is one of the most fundamental elements of the game. Why would you throw a spade on a nil bet when you have other suits you can throw? Makes winning too easy.
