User Reviews on Classic Spades

Unfortunately today we had 4-5. Interruptions with other games notices. Hope this does not continue. Otherwise this game is very enjoyable.
Worst game ever. Why would our AI partner take our king of clubs with the Ace, and have other clubs? The AI partner also under bids the hand. Not a good game.
We love playing spades at home at work and any free time we have so if you dont have it please download it NOW.
We like this version of spades best. However, we hate that the ads interrupt the game. Instead, they should trail along the bottom of the screen like the IPAD version.
So far good. Havent played this one a lot yet. But seems to be more intellectual than other bots.
Great Game! It is challenging!
Why would our partner trump our good ace when he could of thrown off suit and not wasted a Spade… The other team does it as well.. Glad he’s not our partner in real-time..
This game is a nightmare! Our so called partner makes the same mistakes over and over again and constantly over bids. The opponents are loaded with Spades while we get the worst cards hand after hand! It is no fun to play this game, just extremely frustrating!
We like this app. Very few if any ads or stalls.
We think it pathetic of this game to consistently deal miserable hands over and and over and over and over and over again . It really feels that the games objective is humiliating a player over and over and over again. When we come in second we know that we really have the played the best game that we possibly could with some of the most wretched hands ever. We give you 5 for the most sadistic game.
When we play we can play call day No ads and its easy to understand Will we learn to take score maybe but easy to understand yes And very beginner friendly If your wanting to learn to play spades use this version for understanding only.
We love this app! However, this is not the first time we played an Ace and it was clearly our book yet it was given to our opponent. You all can do better than this. Everyone hates a cheater!
We’ve caught the ais constantly reneging and one even took our ace of spades just now. Im done and will delete the game. Hate cheaters.
Dont waste your time with the easy version. Go to settings and choose the AI hard version. Great bones. Nice game! GG.
Partner either over bids or underbids. Its frustrating to get set so often.
When playing there not playing enough high cards to help there partner if IThrow a low they should if they have the higher card use it.
Partner will overbid causing loss of hand and will under play when we bid nil causing a loss. All three other players lead with spades. Spades should only be lead when you are spade tight. Spades should be used exclusively for Taking other suits for the hand. We NEVER lead with spades.
Okay. We have tried, & tried to enjoy this game, but it is much like making love to a skunk —- we may not have all we want but we have all we can stand! The AI partner is going to make bone-headed plays, or over bid it’s hand, to manage the win loss ratio. And talk about the so called random card shuffle & deal, it just does not exist when it is your turn to loose. Just remember that ultimately you are actually playing against the other 3 hand and an arbitrary win/loss percentage determined by this game’s programmer. If you really enjoy playing spades, may we suggest that you stock upon more masks & bacterial hand cleaner, & invite some friends over, & play the game. Just our 2 cents worth.
The game is average and serves it purpose what would make it great is if you had jokers and could also add the deuce(2 of spades)trump card…
Dont understand why sometimes you minus 100 for a extra point and sometimes you dont.
Why do you have to cut a suit to be able to start using spades? And what is we cant think of the word when they can deduct points from you even doe u made all your books.
No explosions or flying cards, just a nice enjoyable version of one of our favorite card games. Minimal ads, no interruptions, no gold coins, nothing but spades. And yes, it tracks your wins and losses. Good fun.
Exceptional game but freezes up when playing on iPhone X.
We like this game. It plays nicely and looks good. Our complaint is with our partner. You cannot figure him out One time he will underbid so you try To compensate and then he overbids. It is frustrating.
This game should have auto play when there is no other card to play Post last hand played.
The AI are very stupid not even close to playing spades.
Nice game would like to hear music while playing.
Spades is a nice change from the puzzle games.
We agree. If we take a zero bid, our partner holds their spades instead of playing the trump giving away the hand.
Assigned team member kept making bids and failing to get bid!
We used to play this in the usmc constantly. Big joker little joker version. Its better w/o the jokers. Great game that makes us use memory skills.
We really, really like this game, but is it just us, we were unable to play landscape version, only portrait.
It would be cool if you AI partner knew cover you better when going nil. We wish you could blind nil on the game.
Only thing missing is seeing your partners expressions.
The other reviews had to have been planted. We played an entire game where our partner never took a trick unless he bid zero. Your opponents will never miss their bid. Absolute trash.
Your cards are dealt face up, you have no option to bid blind nil. If you bid nil, you arent allowed to pass two cards. We’ve been looking for a spades game on our iOS platform comparable to what we plan on our android and they just dont compare. Deleted after one hand.
This is very straight forward Spades! The players play to win. Your partner plays smart, covers you when you bid nil. Simple yet fun! So many other versions look flashy, but they dont follow the rules or play like real people would. Best version we’ve played.
Playing against computers is way better than playing random people. No coins or in app purchases makes gameplay smooth and easy. We wish most App games were like this.
Where other games set you up during the deal, and/or manipulate the cards in the background, this game doesnt appear to be doing that. Some games feel like its you against the other three. We’ve seen our partner make poor plays to deliberately lose in order to keep the game close, or even rack up bags to keep you from getting too large of a lead. We’ve deleted many games after we tired of playing 3-on-1, and especially after our partner threw the game! Its more difficult to determine if cards are being manipulated in the background, but some of these games have made us not only suspicious, but cynical as well. So they get deleted too! We applaud this programmer(s) for not doing any of that (that we can determine at any rate), we love this game!!!!!
This is hands down the best Spade app we’ve ever played.
We HATE PLAYING WITH BAG PENALTY. PLEASE SHARE WITH ME A GANE WITHOUT THE BAG PRNALTY.
The idea is great. But, like they say they devil is in the details. At the very end of the game there is no way to start a new game without shutting your phone off and going into the app again. This has got to be fixed. Also, at times after a round there is no continue or home option. Again, you have to shut off your phone and hopefully your game will not be lost! Mark.
Terrible and unfair scoring system. It doesnt score opponents the same with the ridiculous bag system ( you mustve made made it up.) get rid of the kids bag system and it can be an excellent game! We’ve been playing over 60 yrs. And this is the only bag game we’ve ever played..
We live playing this version, we dont mind the few ads either.
We’ve been writing too many reports about how too many Spades and Hearts apps, especially the one-player versions against AI, are simply unrealistically unfair. This app was WAY down the App Store search for Spades, but Im glad we stuck it out to find it. This is the most fair version we’ve played. (Disclosure: we’ve only played at Medium Difficulty, so we dont know if the algorithm changes when you go Hard level)
