Aces Spades

The bug that makes the 2nd to the n-th hand deal the user everything except face cards and spades has finally been squashed! Excellent! Please fix the issue that this game has with sandbagging. There are 13 books in a deck...why are both opposing players and the user’s partner notoriously bidding between 2-3 books??? Then scoring between 5-7 books? Those sandbags add up quickly with the current system. And it is frustrating when you have built a comfortable lead and then have to give up 100 pts b/c the A.I. “partner” can’t bid! The “hint” bidding feature needs a tweak as well. Oh, and the A.I. will conveniently “renigg” during the course of a game. There should be a book checking feature to flag and recompense if it continues to occur.

First, I’ll start by saying the graphics and animations are Great! However the game play itself is very deceptive with scoring and awarding the booked hand. You bid your hand, you make your book, and the opponent is awarded your book after you’ve clearly won that hand. Example: Hearts lead (played by the opponent or even myself),everyone plays a hearts except for my AI partner or myself who cuts with a spade ( due to no hearts)...why is the hand then given to the the wrong team ( the book in this case should go to the player who cut with the highest spade, if that’s what was played to win the book). The game awards the book to the wrong team, the system seems to not recognize the sequence of players and who actually should be awarded the book based on who played which card and the value of that card. Not to mention the other problem of seriously reneging. The developers placed a lot of emphasis on graphics, which is Wonderful. Maybe now they can work on the integrity of the game with proper scoring and awarding of the books. Once this is done, you will have an exceptional product.

AI players (in single player) seem to always know which suit you are a little heavy in and just zero in til you go bust. If this happened incidentally I’d say it is just the luck of the draw. Enough comments have already been made about the AI partner not really having your back and having an insatiable appetite for Sand Bags. Really, who actually plays this way? Other than those nagging issues, I like the game and try to anticipate and play against the aforementioned anomaly’s. Hope it gets fixed someday but hey, whad’ya want for a couple of bucks?

I purchased the remove ads. The app crashed as soon as I did. When I opened it back up it didn’t remove the ads and still had the option to buy the ad removal. I contacted customer care, and showed them the screen caps of what was going on, and followed all their suggestions on how to fix the issue. None of them worked. I have proof that I did purchase the remove ads, and I also had proof that I couldn’t rebuy it again. After I sent this proof, I didn’t hear back from them again. I’ve even sent an email saying hello but they haven’t responded. So I guess they’re gonna get my money and I have to put up with ads anyway. I’m seriously considering just deleting the game. Also for some reason this game won’t remember that I connected it to Facebook 10 times.

My dog could makes better decisions. The AI always throws the highest spade in hand instead of lowest when breaking trump. I can't believe I paid for this. So disappointing. I want my money back. The logic is so horrible. There is no way that all the people listed on the credits page can be real. I would think that of the 20+ people indicated at least one of them has played spades before
