Software Reviews and Criticism

  The reason for nder bid penalty, bags

  I have played Spades for more than 50 years. Nobody is better at this game than I. Real players tend to sandbag, assuring making their bids. Computers do not under bid, based on their programming. The computer game plays better without the penalty for over tricks. Nil bids distort the play, take it totally out of the programming. With your game, the deal is NOT RANDOM! In real play, voids are very rare; singletons are occasional; doubleton are fairly common. I would be glad to pay megabucks for a closer to real computer game. Name your price. Also, let me debug your next version. Remember, nobody is better at this game than I.

  Unfair Game

  I know how to play Spades; however I have never played a game like this one. The distribution of cards is unbelievably unfair. If I have a King of any suite, the player to my left ALWAYS, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, has the Ace. And either the left or right player always has the Ace of Spades. The North/South team can only win a game 1 out of maybe 15 times. The scoring is wrong 80% of the time with the advantage going to the Wesr/East team. The law of averages just cannot prove that one team can win that many times! It is CHEATING and should be reported. The game is not fun to play knowing you're going to lose with a crappy hand. It's stealing from the people who paid you good money to play your game. The game should be fixed and the money should be refunded!

  So disappointed in the update

  I LOVED this game and played it daily. The update makes it impossible to see how many games you've won and lost, which is a great loss. I really liked seeing what percentage I was winning at. It also locks up pretty regularly, doesn't allow you to click on a card, and can only be resolved by a force quit. I just spent over an hour trying to find a way to restore the earlier version but, apparently, once you've updated you can't get a former version. I deeply regret clicking to update this app. Updates should make an app/game better. This update made this app/game so very much worse.

  Boo! Hiss!

  I played Spades Lite for a while but wanted the paid version to get automatic scoring. In this version, however, my partner North began to bid and play poorly but since the play is automatic, there is no way for me to "smarten it up! I would also like the game to pause at the end so I can study the open hands figuring—if possible— why bids and plays were made! But the open hands whiz by so quickly that they are just fleeting visions and North's hand is partially blocked by an instruction box. In addition, when the game is over, I cannot close it without starting a new game. Boo! Hiss!

  The most recent version of this app is far superior to the original

  The most recent update is this game vastly exceeds the original version. I believe that the reviews earlier in the date of this review are likely to reflect flaws in the app that have since been removed.
