Classic Spades

After trying many Spades games with lots of gimmicks, distracting animations and way too many ads, this is the best I’ve played yet. The opponents good players, though your partner tends to consistently under bid and takes tricks it shouldn’t . The ability to choose to see the ads as a banner at the bottom to not interfere with your game is a plus. The option to pay $2.99 to get rid of the ads completely is a bigger plus. For three bucks it’s worth supporting the constructors of this version.

Most Self-Serving Reviews would be more accurate.

Battery life? Excellent. Can you reshuffle? Yes (get a better hand). Am I playing humans? No but it’s pretty close! Can you replay the hand? Yes!!!

I love this game,it is so easy to use! I can start and stop if I only have a few minutes or play all day if I’m sick. You can’t find a better spades game!

I like this version I like playing partners

Clean running, quick play, clear to decipher. But…. has the usual Spades “penalty” you will incur when you are over 400 points, or if beating the opponent by a large margin, the sandbag penalty engages even if you are only 1trick over your bid. This evens the score so your opponent can hopefully play longer, but it’s annoying. Also, my teammate can be incredibly stupid and illogical, overtrumping my trick I have already won, with like (ex) 4 or even 5 cards to play, and he is not trump tight. 😶

I’ve tried about a half dozen Spades games as of summer 2024 and I definitely like this one best. The options I want most like choosing card backs & fronts, table/background and winning score variations (250, 500, 750, 1000) - all for free with no in app purchases needed. Best of all is that you can choose to have banner ads at the bottom of the screen instead of having to sit through long, disruptive ads in order to continue playing AND best of all you can replay any hand either from before you bid or just the last play. All-in-all the most user friendly and generous with the options of the Spades games I’ve tried that I’m keeping this one and deleting the others!

I’ve played many different spades’ apps but this is my favorite by far. It feels more like true card deals, not the same type of hands over and over.

Devs, this game has become a joke, if you in fact play to take tricks. The real game here, is avoiding bags. When the AI opponents and the game total a bid to only nine tricks, that leaves four bags. Often a hand will total only eight tricks bid, I’ve even seen a seven bid. After multiple hands, taking a bag penalty is now commonplace. This is ridiculous. I don’t want to play a game that is about avoiding bags. It should be about taking tricks. An 11 or 12 trick bid is very rare now, a 13, almost never. This removes the element of setting the opposing team. The game is all wrong. Fix it!!

I really love this version of the game. That being said, my bot partner truly doesn’t understand the game most of the time. They consistently under bid resulting in continual penalty points, and don’t understand when to play their high card or when to hold it. It is frustrating to say the least. I’d change partners if that were possible. Often, the game is waiting for me to submit my bid but there are no cards up for me to base my bid on, again, very frustrating.
