Ads Heavy
This game was fun until after every round there’s a ADS, you can’t even get to play with your team mate cause of ADS Dang that’s a shame!!!!!
Bots
I’m not going to continue to play this game when after the hand is drawn it’s obvious I can’t win because of the cards or the Bots either bidding 7 total or nil. It’s a waste of time. Especially if I’m expected to sit through Ads for an unfair algorithm based game.
App glitches
App glitches and makes me lose coins I’ve paid for . Would not recommend.
This game kind of sucks
This game kind of sucks it seems like the “partners” you play with, are really horrible at Spades, or there’re not very smart people. Either way this game kind of sucks.
Money Grab
As you progress and continue to play you’ll see that the app will not reward you for anything except high dollar stake. This is to ensure you run out of coins and of course purchase more. Let me remind you this is simple entertainment as no one will ever get any cash return. I love the app and its design but I hate how it’s leveraged to make you continue spending hard earned money!
Rigged! Will steal your money!
Players…BEWARE!! This game is RIGGED! The creators set you up to fail!
Keeps lagging
I know it isn’t my internet or my brand new iPhone 17 pro max. This games keeps lagging and messing up on start up. Not happy
They Will Steal Your Coins.
I Had 2000 Coins Watched A Video Won A 500 Coin Game. I Now Have Only 80 Now. It Glitches And Gets Stuck On Ads. The Side Games Are Good.
Bots
The more money you spend the more you are playing bots and the cards you get dealt is trash I had 13,000,000 and lost every hand never got dealt a good hand please don’t spend your money
Loading SUCKS SO BAD
The app will just stop loading in the middle of games and causes me to lose! The game just keeps screwing you over no matter what because it lags so much before tournaments!! Awful game!
This game is a scam
The stats are misleading & they match you w/ players who sabotage the game. While gaslighting your stats.
No one know how to bid on this app
Don’t know if lobbies are actually populated by bots or real people but almost every hand played is underbid and makes it impossible to make an accurate bid yourself and because of the extra points for going nil people/bots are just throwing easy books for no reason at all. I’m gonna find a different game to play now.
SCAM
The email y’all provided does not exist. I’m now reporting the app as fraud/scam.
Game could be better
Game always give me the same amount of bids every time I play. I never won back to back games because they always give me 1-3 bids. This game has potential to be good but unfortunately they don’t update the game
Game is crashing
The game is starting to crash a lot. It doesn’t open up the game,
Forcing me to close it out and when I open it back up, the game has already made my bid ad I’m forced to play the hand. Fix this IMMEDIATELY

Coins
It’s ridiculous how you have 5k coins and lose one game for 500 coins and you just run out of coins. And the game almost forces h to spend money to buy more coins. Just to play rounds.
Way to many ads
If you want a 30 second ad or one minute ad every 20 seconds! HORRIBLE!
Constant freezes
App freezes almost every game at the beginning. Autobidding your hand and forces you to close reopen and lose. A million ads
Very angry
I had over 27,000 & it’s all gone because it keep freezing & everytime I wait for it to get unfrozen more money is gone! Bad business
Ads
I been playing this game for months now and love it but yall added ads between hands and it is screwing up the game. If you win with a partner they are gone before you get back because of the ads. Please review this are I will have to find a replacement.
I got your response. I don’t think you are understanding… putting the ads between the games is messing up the game. Because of this new update you loss the partner that you won with because of the ad and losses the fun of the game. If you don’t fix this game will be gone very soon.

Good Game When It Works

Just Read
Too many bots and an ad after every game you play unless you spend money to upgrade, those are my complaints.
Spades
I enjoy the game but the prizes are ridiculously low, rewards are low and you can go for weeks not getting a hand to play if playing solo mode. I won’t buy coins so I’m stuck at zero again. The least the developer could do was create more rewards with much larger demonizations than 400. It’s ridiculous. Looking for another spades app. Any suggestions out there.
Game great App sucks
I love the way the game’s hands play out, however you are not always playing against other people but computer generated opponents. Also the ads are ridiculous! You have to sit through ads after every hand ends, even before you get the hand results and standings. Then when you finally get the info, you have to x out of a series of pop up ads Every. Single. Time. 5 or 6 pop ups. And then there are the glitches with the app itself. Sometimes after the hand ends it doesn’t give you the option of playing another game or to go back to home page. It just gets stuck there and you have to close out of the app and go back later. It also doesn’t always give you you winnings and it freezes up frequently. I have one gig of internet with only 2 people using it and the other doesn’t use data for games or videos, just FB and google; I also keep app updated, so it is not at my end. I have been playing for years but I am just about done, it wasn’t this bad in the beginning and progressively worsening, especially where the ads are concerned.
Fix Bugs/Glitches
I really enjoy this game, but it has some glitches. Whenever I attempt to start a game, it will freeze on part where it is trying to find other players…and it will stay there for a long time. Then, when the game finally loads, it has already made the bid for me as well as played for me. I wouldn’t be as upset if it was actually winning for me, but instead it makes the wrong bid and I end up losing the match. I have made in-app purchases for extra coins, so imagine my frustration of losing money when the computer is losing matches for me.
