This a very refreshing spades game. No gimmicks; just original spades and really great music. The scoring layout is clear with an option for more details. Feels like it’s game night a friend’s house with great jazzy piano background music. (bring your own snacks) Glitches: 1. a partner should never cut your winning play by playing a spade! Argh! 2. The music gets stuck in a repetitive loop after certain ads. Fortunately, it seems to be self-repairing before the next hand begins. Side note: why are people complaining about the ads between hands? How do they think developers get paid for their work? Maybe an option to purchase an ad-free version would shush the noise.🤓
I don’t know what game the person who said that there weren’t too many ads was playing, but it clearly wasn’t this one. This is a very well made Spades game, but the ads are nearly constant! Worse, there are two different kinds of ads: one that merely interrupts your game with a 30 second video, which really aren’t too bad (even though they do make you click through 3 or 4 screens before you can actually get out of the ad. It is the second kind of ad that ruins the game though. There is a little banner ad on the bottom of the screen, not a problem in itself. About every 30-45 seconds, the game opens up your web browser and automatically takes you to the advertised site. It makes the game completely unplayable. And, therefore, it gets one star. Delete!
I opted this spades game since its been years and really enjoyed it for several weeks, but then it started to freeze up or kick me out. Also, despite someone saying almost no ads, however when a new game started, usually a ad popped up, before you can get in game. Got so tired I deleted it. So sad since I enjoyed it, too frustrating (note, there is no way, even after clicking on settings, no support, no email developers etc, apparently they would rather NOT hear from consumers. Very SAD
