Good: The algorithms feel fair and the bots are fine. Ads are fine - I haven't even bothered to cancel them. I like that you can play partnered or solo and that you can set any win/lose terms you want. Server is usually fast and reliable. Bad: I don't understand what the friends list is for. I can't invite friends who are online into a game and there's no in-app way to message outside of game. There are private games but you have to be able to send a code and I think you need 4 people.
This is the best online spades game I have found. I have really gotten into solo play as in that way I control my own destiny and don't get irritated at a partners bad plays. I have played 100 games with a 69% win rate. However, I never get rings and when I look at the trophy room, my numbers never change, no matter how many wins I have. A suggestion; when hosting a room and a player known for trying to spoil the game enters the room, it would be nice to be able to remove him.
Love the game, but the timeouts/connection failures are BS! And I can only chat using a few selected word options. I've lost games bc suddenly my connection failed (especially during a pivotal play), and the computer made some TERRIBLE decision for me in "absence" yet somehow, the connection is fine seconds later. Doesn't matter where I play, using Wifi or not, this tends to happen a lot.
The nicest UI I've seen. The addition of 3 new tables adds plenty of room to advance. A deep player pool and the ability to quickly see your partners and opponents records let's you eliminate bad matching. A ring system and weekly ratings can keep any player challenged. The support team has been responsive and helpful. I've tried other spade apps here and after a year I can honestly say I like this one the best. Thank you for your great work skill cap.
An okay spades game. The computer players are better than other versions, but are only encountered when someone leaves a match. There's no matching with partners, so one needs to screen who's playing before the match begins. Even then, stats aren't a good indicator of skill. Some who compete have ZERO skill, while others seem to intentionally throw a match. It's frustrating to place a large wager only to be paired with an awful partner.
I like how you can play solo as well as partners. It has a few ads but it's okay, it's not excessive. The only thing I would do to spruce it up is have it to where there are rooms you can add for joker spades, lowest club, cut throat, and where you can pass one or two cards to your partner for those that play that way anyway. To have the different ways you can play spades it would be nice if there were multiple ways to play the game. But this is a skill game, might take the fun out of it.
It's a good game for the most part. There are some misclicks once in a while. There are no features to block players that are toxic or at least make notes on them so you can manually avoid them. There is no way to turn off the feature that automatically puts you in another game at the end of your game if you go idle or forget to stop it from happening and then you get put into a random game that you may not want to be in. If you leave you ruin the game for the table and hurt your stats.
Been playing over a year. Probably the best UI available for mobile. Deep player pool. Wide range of skill levels. Easy to see opponents skill level and able to withdraw from match. Have to pay for actual chat but ads are minimal unless you choose to watch them. Latest update is a definite plus to the game. The devs are really trying to improve quality.
Good:. Relatively few ads(one after each game). Bad:. The bid screen sometimes shifts off screen which makes you pick from one of the 2 choices you can partially see or let it timeout and game bids for you. Trophy system has zero explanation(ie i win many games at the right table but no credit toward that trophy). The above issues leads to a huge negative for me. No way through game to contact developer. This should be basic standard anytime in-app purchases is even an option.
Constantly crashes. Bonus wheel hasn't worked several times. Allows some players to renege. Crashed several times. Notifies you that it did. Then gives you the option to leave the game or start a new one. But keeps your bank for the game that crashed. Lost at least 40,000 that way!
Very good game. One improvement need to be here. If only one card remains in must need to put, plz grab it automatically in any turn as it does in last hand. It could help if someone disconnected during play. And if spades break disallows in first turn, it will be good also.
The design of the app makes playing online slower than it should be. You can't quickly choose a card, because you have to double tap or swipe it. I can't be sure, but it also seems to be delayed by an animation after the previous player has placed their card down
I like the fact that I'm able to play against multiple online live players. The problem I've encountered recently what I played a game the full round and won. All of a sudden my coins disappeared so when I logged out came back in my coins flashed across the screen and disappeared again 20 so whenever I try to play solo or Partners it would tell me I needed to purchase coins so I tried by uninstalling then reinstalling it my previous total came came up momentarily then vanished!.
After the update, I couldn't invite my friend or play my music while playing. We posted a review saying as much and after just 2 days, the bugs were fixed! Now we are back to playing our favorite spades game. Definitely download this game. It will be worth it.
This is so frustrating. I enjoy the game but there are too many glitches that knock me out of the room (usually when in winning) and I'm unable to rejoin the table I was in, my points are not given and I think it even counts as a loss in my record. I've been playing for about 3 days and this keeps happening. I'm very close to deleting this app!
After playing with no issues for a week and updating, game began mis dealing cards. Games began freezing. Caused having to lose coins on multiple occasions in order to back out of games. Uninstalled and reinstalled twice with no change. Other than that a good app
My experience with this game is fun, A great way to pass time.. The different options on the money tables are very entertained, also the private rooms.... Two negative remarks but it still does not take away my five stars... One I cannot see my friends list, Two there are too many sore losers no one gives themselves a chance of winning when someone gets stuck, people just leave their partner holding the bag.. a lot of sore losers
Note the problem I was having. Is that I didn't want to play with this person because I always lost. When I left the room coins were taken. The other problem is that when both sides tied with the same amount of points. There's no tie breaker and the game decides the winner. Even when you have the over books to decide in your favor.
A good absorbing game. Keeps one on toes for the ranking. Demands too much of full time attention which is not correct as one has to attend to normal daily and family activities. A lack of attention due to power or net failure is penalised which is not intended by the players. The overall evaluation is excellent.
I don't know if the system is just broken or what. Many times room closes out. Players leave a LOT when losing. Had several hands that had missing cards. Also, when a player takes their time, God forbid you ask them to play faster. More moderation needed. Until errors are fixed, 2 stars
I liked it at first (a lot) And now the game has glitches, glitches to where you do not see sometimes what the other people Are doing and it does not always put the screen up where you can add your bids it's so it puts you at whatever amount of bids the game thinks. I had a powerhouse hand and the game put me nil and I lost 2500 coins. Not so happy anymore! For about 10 games now it has said (1 more win and you get your next ring) NOT SO! ! !
the game keeps shutting down at the very last hand. So when you're winning the very last hand you lose the winning game. I would give it to zero marks if I could. I and every other player should not have to go to another page for you to fix your game!
Hi Programers, out of the last 8 games i've signed into the game has stopped mid-play. The "red devil" appeared x 2. The rest of the time the game just stopped. Can it be fixed??? These were new installations. Thanx, C.
Just Great! Okay, why 4 stars is a small glitch that sometimes the bidding panel disappears and that is furious because you have only seconds to bid and if you can't, the software bids for you in a way you wouldn't.. that could be solved I hope. I use an android phone btw
I enjoy this game, however sometimes I think some players play off suit and get away with it and other times I think the score isn't on the screen right. Otherwise it is ok for an online game.
Tonight I played but had to uninstall and discontinue because when the cards were dealt the app would freeze up and the game would be over at the table. The blinds would be taken from with out playing. Soon I was left no money because the glitch would keep happening. So i quit the game and trashed the app.
I had posted a negative review because of the adds and my assumption that I was kicked off because they took to long. Since I can post negative, I can come back and post the positive. The game is good. The creator was correct, when the match it over, an add will automatically start playing. That's my clue that the game is over. It took me a while to learn to navigate to different bid tables, but now that I know how, the game actually works. I would recommend it and I will continue playing it.
