Spade Queen
I always enjoy playing Spades!!!
Too many ads
There is an ad played between every hand
Good way to pass time
Love this game and play it all the time but wish there was an option to go 10-for-200!
This game is programmed to favor the bot team.
I used to enjoy this game, but now it favors the bot team and is totally biased against the online player. Thanks for messing up a favorite pastime.
Almost 5⭐️
Ads after every game is excessive & ads to undo moves is annoying.
Commercials
There are just too many commercials for me to really enjoy spades like I used to😣
Don’t force me to rate!
The game is fine, but would not let me opt out of rating and forced me to so…
What happened
I used to love to play this game, but now if you want a hint or undo a play, you have to look at an ad. I don’t mind looking at ads in between hands but not doing in hands.
The Spades
The games computer doesn’t think like a partner and work as a team. It plays for itself and doesn’t worry about bags.
Bids
I don’t like how the NIL’s don’t get 100pts when they’re made. Nor do I like when the one that made the NIL Bid, automatically plays a Winning card once they won a hand
Good variety of AI
I enjoy being able to vary the computer player’s skill level and playing style. It keeps the shame very fresh
The ads are unbearable
Unrelenting ads. Impossible to play with constant ads that last minutes long after each round.
You still have major AI issues!
I have been playing this game for years! I get extremely frustrated because the AI if there is any AI working here has not advanced beyond the last 10 years! Player still makes stupid leads and dumb non-cuts and cuts! You need AI that learns from the play of better players who have down loaded your game! If you had this ability you would be the best in your class!
Spades
Too many ads.
Best Spades Game
I love this game. There are so many different types of game play. The AI are good for beginners or OG players. If you wanna learn how to play, download this game ASAP!!!
To Many ads.
Del App. This version has to many ads, the add take up more of your time then the game.
Spades
Way too many ads between game and the ads are so long
Me
It is a very nice game to relax to and play.
Ads
There are too many ads
Too many ads
Way too many adds it’s so annoying I get some to make money but after every round and if you need to back up a play a ad it’s craziness.
The Game Cheats!
If you are looking for a good way to kill some time, this game is a good choice. If you are looking for realistic Spades, look elsewhere because plain and simple, the game cheats by using your partner against you to make you lose. Some examples: Leading 482 to 293. West bid 5, my 5-star partner bid 4, East bid 2 and me 1 because I had an off-suit King. Partner took 3 and we got set and lost the game. We needed 20 points to win and had 8 bags to give, so why bid 4? Another game we were up by 100 points. I bid 1 and took 3 and my 5-star partner bid 3 and took none. Just a few examples of many where my partner (pick any) threw the game on bids no experienced player would make. Great game and fun to play but the cheating ruins an otherwise great app.
Spades
Love the game but they’ve amped up the ads to the point that I’ve stopped playing. One per game was ok, now it’s one per hand. Came back today in hopes that they wised up and cut back, but ….nope. I give up
Spades
The game is good entertainment
Ads!!
It’s ridiculous how u have to watch an ad after of before every game!! Fix it or I will be deleting! There’s other spade games that probably don’t do this!!
Too many ads
Just waaaayyyy to many ads. Liked the choice of players. Deleted after a few games.
Don’t waste your time
Used to love this game but all the ads have made it unplayable. Those of you thinking about downloading, be aware there is an ad after almost every hand. No longer fun, just an annoying game. Will not let me rate
Review
I really enjoy the game but it’s frustrating when the opponent knows what’s in your hand and your partner cuts you on books. It feels like you’re playing 1 vs 3.
Give back the undo’s
Give back the undo’s without having to watch a stupid commercial or I’m going to delete this app
AI Spades Feedback:
• Game doesn’t have enough 5-star rated avatar’s evenly counted between men and women. • Game doesn’t comply with the full set of rules players are permitted to use. For example, players are allowed to pass-two cards at the beginning of each bid even if the player chooses not to bid blind-nil or nil. Players are also, allowed to lead off each opening hand with spades if they choose too. The only time a player must pass a card is when the player has bid a blind-nil or a nil. • For some reason every time a king of harts, clubs, diamonds or spades is played by me an Ace will trump my king and the same goes for my avatar partner. Please correct the above issues. What I am facing when playing the AI- Spades game is baseline cheating by AI, and it’s aggravating.
Best Spades
I like this spades better than others as you can select different opponents and generally the computer partners and opponents make good plays in comparison to other games I have tried.
The Spades
My favorite game. I play 3-4 times a day
Used to be Good, but WAY Too Many Ads Now
This was a great app with few ad interruptions, but now there are long ads between almost every hand, any time one wishes to undo a move, and between games. Really unfortunate because it was one of the best Spades apps around. Now, one must watch dozens of ads just to finish one game. 😡
Had to delete due to “prize pending” malware
I’ve played this game on my iPhone for years. Lately I’ve been getting malware pop ups when I play. 😣
Need to fix lots of bugs
I have been playing 2 yrs and since update est.4months ago I can’t use buttons at top unless game freezes and I have to delete app and redown load to play. This is so stressful. I love this game but am totally upset knowing if I use even menu button I will get froze. I hope you can fix this. Thank you. I am giving 5 stars because I do love game and am sure you will fix.
Locks up on Ads all the time
Game was fun to play and nicely predictable but not long ago, specific Ads will come on and never go off. Totally unplayable when it happens after every game. Have to shut off iPad and restart to play another game. Will find a suitable replacement.
The spades
The computer always wins!
Chess
Good
Ads
To many ads wish it had continues play like the android version until the game is actually over instead of between every hand. Even when you trying to undo a hand it wants you to watch an ad , I like my iPhone but when I was team Android I never had this issue with so many ads especially while the game was being played at least Android waited until the game was actually over to play ads. An almost every game I downloaded on an Apple device have ads popping up in between games being played compared to android at least they let the game play out until it’s over before a ad pops up. Come on iOS or Apple you got to do better.
