Fun but basic

As the title says

Less enjoyable than before

Update: version 3.0s redesign is less attractive than the previous design: the opening screen is cluttered with options and the score indicators are less vivid. Usability has declined, with small tap targets for bidding and bid/taken indicators more difficult to read. It also appears there was no testing done on 3.5-inch devices, since the images are squashed vertically. The new solo feature was unnecessary, since the developer already had an app for that purpose, and the animations are now much less smooth than they were previously. _____________ Ive been playing this game for about two years now, but only feel compelled now to write a review. The game is addicting, but scoring changes in the last six months have made the game much less fun than it used to be. Back in the day (prior to version 1.8), only the players with the highest score or the lowest negative score of the hand would have their points accumulated in their overall score. Players who played badly would receive no points; players who left the game before the end would be penalized. Now, all players (except those who have negative points) accumulate points. Theres no incentive to play strategically anymore (or even stay in the game), so its rare that even good players will play to force others to lose points. The game is hardly better than a four-person game of War. Advertising has gotten more blatant in the last few versions; in 2.1 a video ad was added and users are occasionally subjected to a 30-second ad between hands -- and they cant skip it. Theres also now a full screen ad when the app is launched and in between games, in addition to the usual banner ads. The latest version (2.3) added an in-app purchase to remove ads -- something Ive been begging the developer to add for nearly two years -- but so far Ive been unable to get the app to complete the purchase. Im lowering my previous rating of three stars until ads are sorted out and will increase it from there only if the scoring improves. Update: version 2.3.1 has fixed the in-app purchase problem and Ive increased my rating as promised. Version 2.5 adds background music. If I wanted music Id fire up the Music app and play something of my choice. Why waste time with a useless feature when the scoring system is still broken? Version 2.6 adds an annoying "rate this app" dialog that appears repeatedly. Dropping my rating to 1 star.

Fun game

Very entertaining, never saw previous version, this one looks good enough for me.

Loving it...

A tough game but having an awesome Time. Addictive! Reminds me of spades breakfast as a high school kid.

Update lazım (needs an update)

Iphone plusda çözünürlükte sorun var. Çalışmıyor uzun zamandır. Yenile bu oyunu bizim için lütfen. The resolution doesnt support the iPhone 6plus. You cant see everything and needs a fix.

Very addicting game!

Cant stop playing

Wawww

Very good

Fun, a little like spades

Its a fun game, it reminds me of spades with the bidding.

VIPERBJ

Its a reasonably good game but when Robots are used to fill in the players slot they usually have an inordinate amount of spades, most times not bidding their actual hand as they have no penalties for going under or over their bid (by 3 on the plus side). Also, there are several times that the hand dealt is too good to bid 0 but not good enough to take at least 1 trick. Not always a completely random deal!

Decent Game

Two problems: the robots most times get an inordinate amount of spades & deals dont seem all that random. Otherwise a decent game.

Legitimate

I like this game because its all legitimate unlike a lot of other games I play. The one thing I dislike is when robots fill in.

iPhone 6 Plus now no play

On my new phone this game now shows about 5 cards so I cant not play anymore. :(
