The game is great at first. They give you good partners and good hands. And you'll make a lot of coins. But after the 20th game or so, you'll get horrible cards, bad partners and keep losing coins. The good thing is that they are live games with real people. But the game is completely rigged so that you start losing no matter what and have to purchase coins just to play. Original review 1/13/22 Update: It's so obvious the game is rigged. There is absolutely NOTHING RANDOM about it! Liars

WAS a great game, WAS best on market. They've recently changed their "pricing" model in terms of how many coins you need to play. This has decreased the amount of players playing the game. Before the change it was mere seconds to get into a match, now you're waiting minutes for people to join if they join at all. I've always known the game cheats by deciding who wins, and I always suspected it's based on who's making in game purchases. But now it's very blatant on top of the price changes.

"Updating my previous review of 5 stars." This was a great app until a few weeks ago when they decided to get greedy and money hungry. They made the game no fun to play now. I had a subscription and cancel it and will never bring it back unless they fixed the game to the way it was. Now add pop up every few minutes they do not show your games unless you play 150 points. It's so hard to find players now. once I run out of coins I will be uninstalling the app and finding a new one.

I loved this game. Then the price for coins got really expensive. Now, I continually lose with bad hands and need more coins. During the past 4 months, I've spent over $60. If you added up everything I spent in the past couple of years, I could have purchased the game outright a few times. This time, when I run out of coins, I'm done. I'll miss the game, but I'm tired of spending money. I'll find some friends to play cards with.

All of a sudden, I can't bet less than 1M per hand. NEWSFLASH Spades Plus, I play for fun. Sometimes, I just want to login and play a few games to pass the time. I won't have any coins left after playing just a handful of rounds. It's really awful for your long term players. It makes me not want to login at all. I hope you change it back and if not, I will be deactivating this account and finding another spades game. Just dumb!!

I have been playing for about 8 years. the game Algorithm is changed constantly. if you win without spending money the game will alter your winning streak to a losing streak. this is done to try to get players to spend money for more coins. and how is that when you play against the computer the computer wins most of the time,. THE GAME IS RIGGED

Edit 2024. I play solo. Have been playing on this app since 2016. There are no 200+ point games anymore. Even when I create a table no one ever sits. I've waited for a half hour to test it out. I've tried to filter tables,creat tables, wait for someone else to create a table... There is no game over 100 points. Now only 2 options in solo, either a 70 point game or 100 point game. I think it's a glitch! Please fix it. This is my favorite app, but I won't play if games points are under 200. Thanks

I used to enjoy playing on the app, but whatever happened in the last few weeks has me searching for a new Spades app. From changing the minimum bet amount, not being able to see filtered tables, to only friends can join created tables......it's time to uninstall this thing. It's literally NOT fun anymore. Guess it was bound to happen tho..all good things come to an end! 😏 Thanks for getting me through the pandemic tho! ✌🏾

Something's going on with the app, refuses to let me sign in, keeps saying connection issue try again. I've powered off/on, turned off/on WiFi, uninstalled) reinstalled and still can't login. I've called my device carrier, no issues with the phone or network, other apps work completely fine on my device. There's something definitely wrong with the Spades Plus app..

Have played for years and had no problem purchasing coins to keep at it. I enjoy playing longer solo games and appreciated being able to play to 250 plus points because you could learn others' approach/style and could recover from mistakes. Now points per game is limited to 100 and luck. When my coins are gone I'll be uninstalling and trying another app that isn't so limiting. There are many apps out there where they haven't made business decisions that degrade the user experience.

Cards are NOT random. If you get a decent amount saved up, you loose it super quick because every game after that you won't have a hand you can bid with but definitely one that would be set in a nil. It was great for the first few games but now it's obvious how rigged it is. Profile picture is whatever you use on social media and you can't change it, so look for creeps sending you inappropriate messages endlessly. Customer service is joke! Don't bother.

I've played this game for years! I still like playing, I used to really enjoy it. Now, not so much! The games algorithm literally picks who it wants to win. Giving the opponent the better hand to bid high and their partner to nil. Giving you the worst combination of cards where you have a low bid for you and your partner. When it comes to betting, we all bet the same amount, but when you win, you don't get the full bag. It's shared with the losing team. Now the game freezes after 1 game.

Like all top reviewers, I've been playing Spades Plus for years. It WAS great. But recently, games come down to the algorithm literally deciding who wins. To the point it has become anticompetitive. You may go on a tear winning but the losing streak that follows will drain you. Lost 20 million in a week and that's playing sparingly. Skill is rarely a factor anymore; it's common that two noobies with losing records can get all the cards to win. Rare chance for a legit game anymore.

Great competition against other players. Good variety of different games. Problem is when the computer plays they give you some bs about algorithms. Just played a game and the bot got 8 consecutive hands of 5 to 7 books. I posted here because of the answer I was given. I noticed it has changed. Now if you can do something about none of the solo games showing up except the ones created by the house that would be great. After reading the reviews. I am not wrong. Greed is costing you players.

I've been playing Spades Plus for YEARS! However, this recent change has seriously diminished the experience. I always used to play solo, but now there's basically no tables available. There used to be tens of tables to choose from, but now only 1 or 4 with high minimums. I'm not sure what the owners did, but you guys ruined Spades Plus. It's utterly ridiculous how you would make changes that would result in the demise of the app. I just don't get it. It's like committing suicide. I'm leaving.

Game is now pretty much unusable and no longer fun since they changed the limits on points at tables. Takes forever to get a game going and 150 games are pretty much over in one hand. Found an app called Fun Spades that is really good for custom games at any points from 100 to 500 just have to get to level 4 to unlock but can do that rather quickly, will probably never go back to Spades Plus unless they change it back to what it used to be

This game is completely rigged. The computer automatically sets you up to win to begin with then it gets used to your routine & sets you up to either lose or win there is never a game I feel has been fair. I understand it is cards & they fall where they may but it tells me I have to play for a certain amount if I get coins it's way higher & yet my score is low. But when my score is high enough to be considered & consistent enough to pick up some kinda flag & it makes it impossible to be fair.

This game isn't at all what it used to be. It seems rigged now and because I have NEVER bought coins to play it seems that I lose a lot more often. Because of really bad hands being dealt and inexperienced partners!, I have to wait until I can spend the wheel which is only once a day. It seems they are trying to force me to buy coins but I won't do it! It's not fun anymore. I'll be looking for another card game really soon. Very disappointed with this "update version."

It's not what it used to be. The games seem fixed most of the time. Random men message me about being my sugar daddy. (lol) Not as many people still play, so the wait time is a bit long. Ads after every table I leave. DEFINITELY RIGGED GAMES Score 60-70 My partner and I needed 9 books and the other team 4. The other team had all of the Aces and Kings and were able to cut the suits my partner and I didn't have. This is all after an 8 game losing streak. I'm done with this app.

Update 3 - They have heard the complaints and brought back longer games, and they've fixed the chat in a way that keeps the bad mouthing down. Kudo's to them for that. They still haven't fixed the pairing on partners mode. A person with a 36 average at level 40 can be paired against someone with a 65 average and 1000 games played. It's still a bit pricey if you want to unlock the various options or if you play alot, but it's much more fun now with longer games.
