Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is really the best spades game that we have ever played.There is very limited ads and it is a load of fun.we have played a lot of different games and by far this one cant be beat.we absolutely love this game.
We had an account under CharleeKing and it was crashing. We decided to remove the app and reinstalled. We were not able to get our first account back so we had to start all over again with a new account under CHARLEEKING1. Thats a bummer.
We like this game but it feels like its missing the traditional spades cards like Jokers and wild card like 2 of diamonds being a spade and 2 of spades being a high card.
We dont know why that the app on our iPad doesnt give you an option when youre doing teams that you have to pick without looking at your cards.
This game would get a 5 star if it would let us go back to the game instead of waiting clearing our phone and losing the game due to this.
We love everything about these games. We especially appreciate how the game limits dead time so the hands move quickly.
Hey, Ive been playing this game for six years. We love it.
This game has lots of customization options. As with all of the spades games Ive tried, your partner cant bid their hand, but the every man for himself mode works pretty good. We wish it had a confirm bid because it is easy to accidentally hit the wrong number or even accidentally blind bid.
We love the game, but there is no rewards in advancing to next level or for winning a game.
We enjoy playing this version of spades; however, we seem to get a lot of dummy hands? We go mill all the time, we are 95 % of the time going nil. We like the challenge.
We love playing spades, so this app is the bomb.
Ladin baba Stella GD like like on 4.
This Spades game is great. It mostly resembles the original game we played in college long ago. Great graphics. However lately the ads keep popping up in the middle of the games and remains there. We have often quit the game. Otherwise we really like this Spades a lot.
To play like people not computer.
Great game with all the different ways you can play it. Great site, card size, colors, etc. If you enjoy spades, here, you will enjoy it More.
This is a great game app. We like the overbids add points instead of the minus Gameplay is fair and enjoyable.
We like it because its challenging but yet its not frustrating to play.
You wont be able to stop playing! So fun.
We enjoy spades! At the beginning of the pandemic it occupied our time in something good.
Fun game. Love to play while in waiting rooms, in customer service lines or waiting on our wife.
Great time killer! Sometimes killls too much time, . The few changes took us by surprise, but Im still a fan. Cant find a good spades table these days; played a lot while on active duty.
Would like to have a hint button. Score keeping is different.
The robot partners do not do well with setting the other team. Once you have achieved your books then your robot partner will start to throw away additional books. This is good for sandbags but not if youre trying to set the other team. Other than that, great game play. We like Joker, Joker, Duce so Im pleased that this game offers this. You win some and lose some. Good game speed.
Is there a way to play you friends on Facebook and is there going to be a way to play with jokers.
The Ai players make stupid decisions like continuing to take books and bagging themselves for no reason. They also bid nil when they have the big joker.
Why dont you keep your automated players from helping each other.
Our partner should never bid zero when they have the Ace of spades or trump our trick.
Parter consistently make stupid mistakes on the game. This game needs to be updated with smarter players.
Its blatantly obvious when the game sets you up for a loss. Your partner bids against himself with Nil when he holds the Ace or wins a bag when he could have allowed the bag to be picked up by the opponents. Its designed at times to make you lose. The only saving grace is the different games that are available to play (suicide, whiz, normal, blind, and mirror). Those feature games keep you coming back to endure the frustration. We just wish the AI was fair and not designed to intentionally allow you to know that its cheating. FIX IT and Id be willing to PAY FOR THIS GAME!!!!! You guys are loosing money because you dont realize the genius behind the new game versions youve created for spades lover players.
Great game. VERY short pop ups.
We enjoy playing this game during our time off. We highly recommend it.
This is the best spades game that we have found of all the ones Ive tried on App Store! We enjoy playing against the computer and we win often too. We would definitely recommend this app if your looking for a friendly game of spades.
We love because its fun but mostly the ads are quickly played then back to the game! Maybe there are more ads but doesnt feel like it.
We loved this game up until a few days ago when it updated. Why get rid of the option for the jokers? Ugh. Now we have to find another app when we loved this one so much. So disappointed.
We dont like when the game changes on its on. Then we have a hard time trying to get back to the game. Then the hands that was deal to us, we always have to bid 0.
We truly enjoy ourselves each time we play.
Counter productive to have everyone compete for bidding NIL. Turns us off when someone bids Nil. We think it should be used with penalties not incentives.
Enjoy this game.. We have played many Spade Card games but we like this one the best.
This is one of the best solo spades games on the App Store. It would be nice to change the sorting order of the cards to allow high to low. Someone else mentioned this. Not a difficult change.
Best spades game out there. No waiting on other players . Love it.
Thanking the creators for creative this game with minimal ads. Perfect way to past time.
Would like to have the game save your winning games.
This is the best s game Ive ever played.
We really enjoy playing this game! Never bored and you can up or down the skill levels of players. We like the challenge so we play legendary (10 stars skills). You can added the names to the players. Which we like because we used our old navy crews we used to play with in the navy! You can customize the rules. You can sandbagging, play blinds (nil, moon, double nil) just to name the few. Its really a great game to play if you like spades! You wont regret getting this app.
We love this spades game alway a pleasure to play.
For the most part, we have enjoyed it but it goes through phases where we constantly are set every which way we turn. Also we feel our partner makes dunb moves based on what we play.
We like the way this one is set up.
We Love Playing Spade. This Game Reminds us Of When We Use To Sit Down For DAYS And Play Spades…So Comforting.
Yall should add rules option. If you go 10 on the first hand and make it its an automatic win.
We like how the game is set up. Easy to play. The negatives are that the other players regularly underbid so you end up with 5 or 6 open tricks. In Teams mode your partner is still playing single. We bid nil and got burned on the first trick, which we took with a 5. Our partner played a 3 when he had the Ace, Jack and ten of the same suit.
