This is a great game but for one thing. When the opponents bid "O" my partner doesn’t adjust his strategy to compete with them. He leads in every case, with his highest card instead of a low card to force the "O" bidder to throw high. The other team will try to trip me up if their bid will allow it. This is the best Spades game there is. Why does your other Spades game charge $1.99 to download? Can you fix my "North" partner? I love playing this game except when I want to crack my partner over the head! Heh, heh violent grandmother! The other comments are shared by me...I mentioned the nil bid "O"and agree with BobHop. Also South’s bid is hidden

I used to like to play this game. It was crazy how my “partner” would bid huge numbers-and never get them. I changed the settings to more conservative playing and that helped for awhile. The “partner” has NEVER protected NIL bids— except for the opposing team-consistently playing his highest cards and effectively giving the other team the NIL every time. Now- every hand the opposing team either has a huge hand or bids NIL. In these last few days I have not been able to win one game. It is frustrating to say the least. So, if you want to lose every game-play this Spades app. You will be happy every time! I gave it two stars because before it actually gave you a chance to win—now it is just NIL after NIL-huge opposing team bids leaving you no chance. Good luck! Switching to new app.

Your partner is a fool don’t trust him. The game is good because you get 100 pts for a nil and 200 for a blind. You can blind it on the first deal and more than 50% of the time the game will try to cheat you and you get 200pts. Your idiotic parter won’t make his books more than half the time, but you are so far ahead that as long as you don’t trust your partner you will win. If you start trusting you will be busting and that is a bad place to be when the computer is dealing itself pad hands.

The trick to figuring out a good spades game is by using your mind. Why are there 4 different game developers all advertising their App as #1? Because Apple doesn’t care to verify the ratings because they make Ad revenue by allowing anything on their platform. Meanwhile, the game developers make money by marketing a falsehood. This Spades game sits near the bottom in popularity. Let’s keep this App a secret and leave the dumb AI algorithms for the gullible and naive.
