Your game is a JOKE!!!!!

I have NEVER bothered to write a review for ANYTHING in my life!!! But this game is SUCH a rip off, it’s good that it’s free!!! It will take points away from your “team” (which is also a joke because they either way over bid or totally underbid!!!) if you get 1 trick over your bid but their “team” can get 5 over and get nothing redacted! And if you have a winning hand, the stupid game just closes down on you and makes you start a brand new game!!! If you’re just looking for an easy game to play to relax with, DO NOT download THIS ridiculous game!!!!!!!!!!! They only put up the ratings that they want and agree with so I’m sure no one but the admins will ever see this, but I hope not. I thought this game was fun for a few days, now I’m deleting it because I would rather have the few MB’s on my devices!

Great app!!!

I really enjoy playing against the computer. Overall very good mix of cards and realistic opponent and partner moves. My partner is a bonehead sometimes lol and bids high after I already have put in an aggressive high bid and we lose. Like I bid 7 which is usually a stretch. In real life a partner would usually follow with a conservative bid but sometime my partner will also go high and bid 5. I'll get my 7 tricks but my partner will bomb and get only 1 or 2 and not 5. Not a complaint though. Really enjoy this app. They did a great job building this one :)

Just a little Irritated

I’ve been playing this game for a few mos now and it’s a wonderful game. However, I don’t like how that there is no rules or settings feature where you can adjust the game and give your partner names, change the playing cards, the table, etc. But the main thing I hate is that if you over bid your hand, you’re liable to be penalized 100 points! The scoring for this issue is not consistent. Once we over-bidded our hand by 4 books, and we WEREN’T penalized the 100 points, but we were penalized for making ONE book over our bid. I’m looking for another spades game as I write this review. I wish Ai Factory was on the play store.

Hours of addictive fun, however...

I downloaded this game at the suggestion of my girlfriend who was spending hours playing it and having a blast. By the way she's introduced me to my two favorite free games, the other one being Ruzzle. The advertising is not too obtrusive at all, after a while you get very good at it and are almost able to predict the card that's going to come out. That can be fun. Whether on the train, or on the airplane, or waiting for your flight, or on a bus ride - God forbid, this'll give you something to do for much of that time. Definitely a must download. The only thing missing? Friends, tournaments, stats and chat! I should be able to connect with the actual people that I play spades with at the barbecue, and play with them online to continue the fun of the game. If they add this to the game, it will make this the ultimate absolute all-time best spades game ever made. And I'm not kidding! I'm saving the last star for that part.

Angry that scoring is unfair!

Inept player Meagan is a minor problem...(Is she the red team's sister?) The scoring is so biased and fraudulent! Bid 3 make 2, and you might lose 30 Pt's one time; lose 40 points another time; and then lose 60 points another time! Anytime the "Blue" Team is winning, the "Red" Team gets extra points, and the "Blue" Team gets a "Penalty" and the "Red" Team gets an extra bonus! As an educator (principal and teacher) for over 30 years - I find this cheating is deplorable! I love a good challenge - but I want the activity to be fair! Same points added and subtracted for the same activity. Other reviewers and I are looking for other "Spades" games where our skills are treated with RESPECT and HONESTY! Do you ever read the reviews? Do you want long-term customers. that recommend your games to other people?... Or do you want your customers to come and go? You created a program, but are you correcting your programming errors? Please do,

Good but

I like that this game is against computers, so it is super fast and I don’t have to find a table or people to play with. The pictures of the people are pretty simple, and sometimes my partner does some pretty stupid moves for a computer - but that makes it more realistic and unpredictable. I wish you could double tap a card to play it instead of having to tap the card and then tap the playing area. And I definitely don’t like that the cards are played in a line rather than by the person who played them. Overall pretty decent. Hard to stop playing because the next game starts right away.

Frustrated!!

Downloaded the free app and really enjoyed playing. Problem though was that there were too many ads that kept popping up and taking me to the App Store without me selecting them. I would have to get out of my game and reload each time. That was frustrating so I upgraded to the paid version to eliminate the ads. Now when I choose to play blind null it does not let me pass two cards to my partner. Also my partner does not play as well as she did in the free app. She doesn't cover me when I am playing null. Feel like I waisted my money with the upgrade! What could have been a fun game has too many flaws! Wish they would fix it!!

Was great until the last update

I have been using this app as well as many other Optime apps for years and they have always been great until the recent introduction of ads. I understand the need for the funding the ads generate and would be perfectly fine with it, but the ads do not work correctly. The ads do not appear on screen, but pop up in the background in the middle of a game and I can hear them while I am playing the game. When this happens, the app slows down to a crawl and eventually just crashes and loses the game progress. It just seems they tried to push out the new version with ads before they had worked out all the bugs.I just tried to play 3 different games and never got past 250 points because the game would crash and when I reopened the app, my progress was gone and I had to start a new game. Before the ads were introduced it was a great, 5 star app, but now it has dropped down to 1 star since I can’t even finish a game without it crashing. I thought about upgrading to add free, but I read other reviews saying there are issues with that version too. There are too many options for spades games on the App Store to have to deal with these types of issues so I guess I will be on the lookout for a new spades app.

Appearance and Player Names

On the recent fix apparently the appearance was changed.Please revert back to the old appearance the new appearance is too bright and the icons are smaller.Please also provide the option to change the names of the opponents and genders.The only other thing I can think of is that my partner in the game does not seem to understand that we do not need to get extra books so once we get our books unless we’re trying to set the other team we do not need to get extra books whereas the other team which is a computer does understand it and they try not to get extra books so this needs to be looked into as well. I really love this game I play it every day I just hope that you can go back to the original appearance. The new appearance is nasty and icky.Thank you very much for the game I will continue to play on a daily basis and I’m hoping that real soon we go back to the original appearance.

November 2020 update introduced poor card style

Been playing this game in idle moments for a couple years. Main objection to update: new card configuration makes clubs and spades indistinguishable without a microscope, causing unintended play errors that ruin the game. Looking at some of the other recent reviews, I see mainly objections to score keeping and to Megan’s boneheaded bids and plays. As to score keeping, I have not played close attention since Megan and I seem able to win 99% of the time anyway, at least until the recent update began causing visual errors. Regarding Megan, it is true that when I first started, Megan’s play was maddeningly stupid, but seems to have gotten much better over time — don’t know if that reflects upgraded software or if Megan has a learning capability or adapts to partner’s skill. The latter would be an amazing capability for a game of this type. Just please, PLEASE, fix the card style or go back to the previous style!UPDATE: Just realized update included two optional card styles. My criticism applied to the default card style. The alternative card style is excellent, but struggled through several games before discovering it. The new default style still needs to be fixed.
