Spades free by anonymGreat way to pass time great game one complaint would make it more challenging if you didn't have the option of undoing what you played it allows you to cheat 4/5
Partner needs improvement by anonymDecent game to scratch the spades itch. My main complaint would be regarding my partner(I pick an experienced partner). The experienced spades player will notice this. The worst traits are as follows: 1. partner doesn't know how to sluff to keep from getting bags even if we've both caught what we've bid and there is little to no chance of setting our opponent. 2. Even worse, not a good partner to go nil with. There are times when I bid nil and my partner will lead with an extremely low card...please fix. 3/5
Love it but . . . . by anonymUnable to move to SD. Taking too much room so will have remove. 4/5
by anonymThe game is fun to play, but I would like the glitches with my partner to be fixed. It's like I'm playing against 3 opponents! I need one of my real opponents on my side. They seem to know how to play WITH each other! 4/5
Favorite game by anonymAwesome game...very few ads that quickly go away once u hit skip to go back to game...The new options on playing joker joker deuce ace is another highlight...???great app!!! 5/5
It's really fun but... by anonymYou should put a multiplayer option in, please. Because I want to play it with my boyfriend or whatever against the cpu player but it's not even an option, even though it is an option to have two players in most of your other games. And I'm not talking about online multiplayer, I mean just add a two player option. Because a lot of issues crop up online such as purposefully losing or cyberbullying. Please consider :/ Great job, otherwise. AI rocks :) 5/5
Needs Different Way to Play by anonymIt needs different ways to play. Like cut throat where you're not playing with a partner. It's an OK game. 3/5
Great fun! by anonymMy partner seems to lack some sense at times, but so does my live partners. I get the Ace of Spades a bit too often for my taste when I go blind nil, but this is a fun way to get my Spades fix. 4/5
Excellent performance but by anonymSometimes when I went Nil partner played lower suited card than me, then next card they played trumped mine in same suit smh.. its fun and relaxing tho.. great graphics and gameplay. Sarah sux goin Nil with.. Don plays too safe bag u up in 4 hands or less... 4/5
by anonymThis game is terrible. I play the hardest difficulty level, with a 5 star "partner". Who misses bids far too often. Crap cards, crap partners. I've been playing spades for 35 years, and this isn't good. Computer blatantly skewed towards the "home team". I'm playing this game for entertainment, why do I constantly get a 2 bid and have to watch the computer play itself? Harder difficulty just means you won't get any cards, can't take books with 9s. If you like spades, look elsewhere. 1/5
Great game. by anonymOnly thing I'd like to see in the future is multiplayer. 4/5
Could be better by anonymI don't know who set up the algorithm for this program, but you should never play spades at the beginning of your hand. The computer will cut you and bidding for Nil is useless with skilled players. 2/5
As Advertised by anonymIf you're looking for simple game that's easy to access and great to kill time this is it. 5/5
Great! by anonymThis game is perfect for players of all ages. Varying difficulty levels allow you to get better, but still starting from easy. It DOES become irritating when the other players are better than your partner, but all humans make mistakes. The only really frustrating part is on the Nils, where your partner can cause you to lose sometimes... Overall, it is a great game though! 5/5
Nil by anonymTake away the nil option. You can't have your partner trying to set you along with the other side. Seriously. Every time. This is a big part of Spades play for a lot of people and needs to work correctly. Ignore that or turn the option off and it is reasonably fun! But if you need nil bidding to enjoy spades, you are going to curse this thing. 1/5
Minor Glitches by anonymAs far as apps for a handheld game, this does a great job. I never get overly frustrated. But there are a few glitches... like the auto partner throwing away a hand when they have a card that could have won, or not playing a lower card to avoid hitting 10 bags. But overall, best Spades game I've found. 4/5
Cool by anonymOnly issue I see is the bad players seem better than the supposedly good players. Cpu seems to know what the players have, yet still fun 5/5
Good game, but could be better. by anonymThe graphics, "basic play," user interface are excellent; however, my "partner" truly does not play at an expert level. For instance, 1) When our team's bid has been made, no additional books/tricks should be taken, especially if "we" can not set our opponents. 2) If my "partner" bids a Nil and leads with a certain suit, the "convention" is that I should continue to play that suit (assumption is that my partner can offload losing cards by doing so). 3) If "partner" loses a Nil bid (because it first 2/5
by anonymEasy to find a matching partner....its unreal. Also...since GOD knows the end from the beginning... the undo feature boosts my assurance regardless of how bad I am at life HE can make me win...seeing I can take the worst partner and beat the best players by double when can test every option We can't loose. 5/5
Computer Partners suck by anonymSomething about playing with human partners makes it easier to bid and use what your partner has. I have troubles with partners throwing low cards when I go nil as well. However great alternative when you can't get real life friends. 3/5
Great game! by anonymEasy to learn, straightforward instructions, never crashes, good simple graphics. (Suggest: have partner and opponents, when appropriate, bid Blind Nil. They should make that bid rarely. In fact, they make that bid absolutely never.) 5/5
Good game, but not perfect by anonymI had always played that 4 was the minimum bid for a team, but you can bid 1 or 2 here. Were we wrong all those years ago? Also, we allowed other blind bids besides blind 0. 4/5
Bug following suit? by anonymThis looks like a bug. In the last game I played, there were four tricks to go. My partner and I needed three tricks. The opponent to my right plays the last heart. Everyone else discards a diamond. The problem is, my partner discards the Ace of diamonds. I've seen my partner get rid of a good trick before, but I think I now figured out why. For some reason my partner thinks the suit lead was diamonds instead of hearts since the two previous players play diamonds. Anyway, after the Ace of diamonds was discarded, the opponent to my right now plays the good King of diamonds and we don't make our bid. 4/5
spades free!!! by anonymgreat game. especially when uou can get your partner to cooperate. lol 5/5
by anonymI love the game but I find myself cheating and taking back my last move, so I pretty much always win. Which sucks, but my partner rarely ever is accurate with his bids so that's my justification 5/5
Amaze! by anonymNothing like beating two elderly pro's at a hand of spades with a kid named Suzie ? 5/5
by anonymThe leading card was a diamond but it was telling me I have to play a spade. When it is my turn to lead off its telling me I can only play a certain suit because that suit has led. There's a bug or something in the program that start screwing up everything 2/5
Spades free by anonymIt is not fair how u bid nil and the computer knows what's in your hand. Also sometimes when the other team dont get their bids it still gives them the points. I just want to play with no gimmicks. 1/5
Great game by anonymGreat game to pass the time, I just wish I didn't have to yell at my partner for doing such dumb things. Like leading out a 4 of clubs when I go Nil, and then playing a high spade after I've taken a trick. Duh! 4/5
Ai is terrible by anonymWith 9 bags the ai partner I had set to 3 stars decided to bet 1 book while holding ace and king of spades. That is a guaranteed 2 meaning automatic loss. This is beyond the level of critical flaw in ai behavior. You guys need better players writing your code. 1/5
AMAZING by anonymI LOVE HOW YOU CAN ALWAYS UNDO YOUR CARDS EVEN IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE AND ITS NO WAY YOU NOR THE OTHER PLAYERS CAN RENEGE...... NEVER HAD ANY CRASHES WHERE THE GAME WONT PLAY ?????? ITS A GREAT APP...... MOST OF ALL IT DOESN'T MESS WITH OTHER APPS ON YOUR PHONE, NO BILLING, NO GALLERY, NO CALL LOG, NOR MY SETTINGS AND WIFI...... 5/5
Free Spades w/jokers by anonymToo many double cuts frm opposing team*you have good hand but not winning due to cuts?i thought you win by playing your hand, but system allows opposites to cut ex.(hearts,othr side cuts clubs)that's you & partners cards to win* sometimes so but happens too frequently for me,i call that system cheating* not fair game* 3/5
Additive by anonymGreat game, can't stop playing. I agree with previous posts, the scoring could use some tweaking. 5/5
My favorite classic game! by anonymI have to play each day. I love how the level of difficulty can vary with different players. I love the challenge. 5/5
Spades by anonymFor some reason the probabilities seem ridiculous. The player to the left always has an ace if I play a king. Its cool to pass time, but much more fun playing with real cards and real statistics vs computer generated. 2/5
Great game by anonymSimple interface and quick play make this a great time-killer. AI works as intended, i.e., lower-starred played will make mistakes. 4/5
Ace of Spade by anonymThe Ace of Spade does not show up in all games. I find myself waiting for the Ace of Spade to be played by the other players so that I can play my King of Spade but, it is non existent. I do get the Ace in my playing hand on average. At times I use the Undo button to confirm that the Ace of Spade was not played by other players during the game and it proves me right. 3/5
George Akins' Livelihood! by anonymI use to carry a deck of cards in my pants pocket to church with me, just to have a chance to play Spades! That's a Spades addiction for you folks...lol 5/5
Cool game by anonymIt's hard to get people together to play spades. The AI on this game is sick! It's almost like they're in the room with me. Lol! 5/5
Great game! But the scoring needs tweeking! by anonymIf u have the nil penalty on, you will get the 100 pt penalty several times throughout the game and I didn't even bid a nil... also seen books I made go to the opponent to my left, also seen where bags don't show up and are not counted but the made section shows that there are bags..., also seen sometimes where the points should have been deducted but were counted... 5/5
