IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to update to version 1.1 of this software, as it contains important bug fixes.
From the people who brought you the highly acclaimed version of Hearts for your iPhone, now you can play the classic bidding game of Spades on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Bid on your hand and see if you and your AI partner can out-strategize and out-play your advanced AI opponents.
This time around Ned, your Hearts AI opponent, is your partner. Hands are played to 500 points, and nil earns 100 points.
Unlike many Spades implementations, this one supports blind nils, complete with 2-card passing (though you can disable this feature from the options screen).
The score and statistics pages let you know how often you won and loss, as well as the progress of the current game.
Pros and cons of Spades app for iPhone and iPad
Spades app good for
Cliff, great job on the update. I just finished my first complete game with no bugs. Good job. 5-star update from me.
As a huge fan of Spades I was excited to see this as an app. Yes, there are some bugs he needs to work out...freezes when exiting game on score screen, Ned not really understanding that youve won the hand or what blind nil means, and card size; but, hes very responsive if you send him issues. He forwarded me everything that is being corrected in submitted updates waiting release by Apple. It seems he will get this application to be excellent soon...so why not just get it now was my approach.
iSpadez is better for now. This game is too buggy right now. The potential is there but REAL Spades players will dig iSpadez more. -Mr. RealTalk
This has such potential, but the players are not very smart and it is frustrating! I like the game ok though....Please fix as soon as possible.
Some bad moments
The game isnt that bad if it would actually WORK for more then two minutes. The update the programmer kept flappin about was a joke. I could at least PLAY until someone bid "nill" but now you can only access the game for a maximum of two minutes before the program closes on you. And who knows if the update to fix THAT problem will ever come in a timely manner. Dont waste your money. Ok thanks.
Most recent review!!
The recent update is good! I think I would play with this game if the cards were larger! ISpadez still the best! Wait for the next update. I wish the developer would READ the feedback and give us what we NEED and WANT!
The game is okay, the cards are too small, the unnecessary graphics could be done away with and that screen space could be put to better use. I look forward to updates. Of the two spade games, both have pros and cons, the other spade game is so much easier to see and play, double tapping is easier than dragging!!! I look forward to future updates.
Edit/Update: I have tried playing this game all weekend, it is just terrible. I cant see the cards and they are hard to play...I really just want my money back! It is a good idea but it just isnt working for me anyway. I hope he gets it together, the board is being wasted with cute graphics when that space could be better put to use. For a Spade lover like myself, this is sad and I thought it would be great! I find ISpadez a MUCH better application and Im VERY sorry I purchased this one! Save yourself some money and get real enjoyment, buy ISpadez, it is a MUCH better value!
This game isnt even worth 1 star I updated to 1.1 now the game resets in the middle of play this guy is a crook I want a refund
Update brickd game. Now it does nothing when you start it. Youre just staring at a table. Cant deal cards. Hopefully it will get fixed soon.
This is a buggy not ready for play game. I can only play 2 hands and then it freezes. I have to reset score each time, it doesnt count the nils correctly and it plays erratic.. refund or upgradeplease.
This is garbage!!!! The games will hang after a blind nil bid and you have to reinstall the whole app. Not worh the money. Contacted the developer and have not heard from him/her yet after 3 weeks. DO NOT BUY!!!!
