sound issues... they did an update and once a week the sound turns itself back on. even after turning the sound off, I still get an applause sound when you win. I've messaged customer service and it hasn't been fixed for over a month. I can't play the game as much as I would like because of this, which means I'm spending no money on the app. if it continues, I'll have to find another Spades game, they're a dime a dozen
It's bad enough all these games follow suit and make a person spend average of 50% of the game time watching ads, when I finally get to play the game and it freezes almost every time I sign into a game. It's bad enough we have to sit through the commercials to play the game but then we get screwed over because it freezes up and makes a mandatory loss. UPDATE REVIEW 01/21/26, I decided to try it again. Still freezes up on ads. Spent money then locked out of lowstakes games.
My favorite spades app. Just wish they would calm down with the adds. After every game is pretty annoying. I could see how some people would get tired of this real quick forcing them to stop playing for good. These are 1-2 minute adds, maybe longer sometimes. Not only that I think the system in which the different currency to get customization to yourself sucks bc everything is only temporary. Why not let us collect these things at least. Better prizes as well & 🃏🃏♦️♠️ rules (J,J,2,2) rules.
Edited. Nice little app for a quick game. Very expensive if you want to play in the medium-higher tiers, but luckily there is no difference in the game at all in the different rooms, so no need to spend much. The game is predictable. Lose 2, win 2 lose 2, win 2. I have won 1 st place several times, spent $250, and the cards just don't change. I rarely get more than 2 books, except for the very occasional 7 spade hand. The algorithm is predictable and makes the game not fun after awhil
I was actually enjoying this game. I quit playing Spades Plus after years of gameplay on their platform, and switched to Spades Master. I finally decided, after weeks of playing to make a purchase and no sooner than I pay, the game crashes, and I can't play a game. I contacted game support, and never got a response. It's okay, keep the little money, you obviously need it to fix the game. I'll find a platform that works. SMH!
Great game until you are on there for awhile. You get bad hands to play just so the creator can get you to spend money. Update, now when I watch an ad to receive a reward I'm not getting the reward. Tried to contact support and it shows up as a blank screen with the date on it. Can't even leave a tech support message. Please fix this issue and you'll get a better review. And no it's not my phone, it's new and has been check out by a programmer.
It gets a 2 bc I LOVE spades but that's it. When you play at low coin games, you get decent hands with 3, 4, and even 5 books and it's competitive. Play at higher coin games and you get 2 low spades and other cards too high to go Nil but to low to get 1 book so you're just following suit. And IF 1 person gets 4-5 books the first hand, they'll most likely get 4-5 books the next hand. Hands aren't random enough. Could be so much better
Lots of fun, great game play experience and way too many ads. I can't minimize and reopen the app, so I have to pause it and then reopen it, which is a real pain. But I get why developers need to eat, so I understand the concept of ads. However, I find many of them to be inconsequential, irrelevant, boring, and just plain inept. Therefore I'm deleting. Too frustrating, too many ads.
Same hands too many games. It's fun playing with actual players, but there are too many times in a row where I get 1 or 2 books. I've counted 8 straight hands where i had 2 low spades or less and maaybe 1 book. Cards too high to even go Nil, but not high enough to win books smh. If you happen to get a lot of books, then most likely on the next hand, you're going to get the same amount of books. Hands need to be more randomized. And they want me to spend money in the game to buy coins...smh
Looks like fun! Can't read the scorecard or other text around the screen -- font too small. 🥲 Cards played on the table are just barely readable at times -- easy to confuse some clubs and spades. Lots of bells and whistles, if you like that. It looks like you can play with your friends! Time allowed to place your bid is too short -- need 5 more seconds.
Game is a scam. Fun for a little while. It obviously makes sure you win for a while to suck you in. Then, after a little bit, it clearly rigs the game against you to get you to buy coins. I can play for an hour straight and get hand after hand that's literally impossible to win with. Also obvious it puts bots in games to beat you. Play the same "people" over and over but their level never goes up and they always win. Play a different game.
I enjoyed this game for the first 5 levels. Then I started getting bad hands and losing games. I had lost nearly 20 games in a row. It's almost statistically impossible for the hands that I've been getting to be random. Watched one video, won the next game, I was offered to watch a other one and declined, back to my losing streak. I'm not a spades God by any means, but after a point it's clearly programmed to coerce you into watching ads and buying coins. I just wanted to play a good game. Iol
Ive been playing this game for months and have enjoyed it. However, lately it has been freezing up in the middle of games and I end up loosing. Now its is froze on loading and says finding players but. not coming up. I don't want to loose my stays and have to start all over again. I want to continue playing this can, despite at times at seems like I am partnered with several loosers. It's like when your build up to over 300k to 500k you get a bunch of loosing hands. I look at ads to avoid buyin.
To play with "professionals" costs 50-500k in game currency, they have the prices so expensive that unless you spend real money for virtual money you can only play with beginners. To start a new game or to go back after a game you have to watch an ad or two. Uninstalling this game, I'm pretty sure there's a better spades game out there. I wouldn't install this cash-grab, ad filled game, not worth it.
There's way too much clamor for your money and way too many mechanics that have zero to do with Spades. I don't want to play slots. I don't want to collect cards, and I don't want to spin wheels. I'm here for Spades. Even after you close 15 popups of the game advertising itself to get to a game, the rounds are only played to 20 not 50 points and then after a round, now you have to watch an interactive ad for 60 seconds. This is ridiculous especially considering I had bought chips before
I used to really love this game until I kept getting bots as my partner who either can't get their bids by a long shot or could not protect me when I go NIL. They may bid 4 and only have one spade and little to no high cards. I mean, it simply makes NO sense and of course we get set. If the bot covers me during my NIL it will throw a high spade (which could have covered me the next hand) after I've already thrown my low card only to lead with a really small spade the next time?? It's like the game is rigged to help you lose. Now, if you get a real person as a partner it can be pretty fun. I just think it mostly has bots.
Used to be fun to play. However, since reaching level 5 and Master level, it's frustrating. I'm constantly partnered with players of much lower skill. Bidding NIL when they have 2 or more books in hand. And the Sandbags are suspect. At times getting docked 50 points for less than the 5 total bags required. IMHO, there are too many other spades games on the market to choose from to continue this farce. Maybe I will return when it gets better. Let's not mention the damn commercials?!?!
Makes no sense. You've got one game that ends after one hand 40-80. The. You've got another game that's 40 and -50 and it goes to round 2. Why is it so hard to just have spades 250 and 500 without these arbitrary ends to games? Also, it's nice that I lose based on one bad hand, or more often, because my partner doesn't make his books. I've never played irl with players this bad. Ripp offfff
Please Fix the bugs and go back to how it was. I have been playing this game for YEARS and all of a sudden they start making you bet according to your winnings. I went from about 15 million coins to about 1500 within days. Also, whatever the hell is going on with the bids in round two is absolutely insane. You can't see how many books you've won nor your partner so you can't tell what score you have or how many books you need to get (or not get). I'm so sad they screwed it up. It was so good.
Best spades experience by far. Games are to 100. Nil is 50 and bags to 5. No blinds. Games are fast and strategic. Also, no ads that pop up after every game. Worth it! Update. After playing this for a while you will be forced into spending money. Mulitple hands of 9s and jacks, along with 2 low spades and another one of them being the queen or king. Opposing teams will get good to strong hands and bid 4 or more. Unwinnable games when you play the cheaper tables often.
