  • monetization174 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, who describe it as excessively reliant on ads and in-app purchases. Many players feel that the game is designed to force them into watching ads or spending money to acquire coins, with frequent interruptions from ads after every game and issues with ad functionality. Overall, the consensus is that the aggressive monetization tactics have detracted from the enjoyment of the game, leading to frustration and calls for a return to a more player-friendly model.

    • “It never tells you to buy anything directly, but it is heavily hinting at it when you have no ads to watch and you're out of coins.”
    • “I pay a few bucks and have no ads, it's so worth it.”
    • “In all fairness I probably paid for a no ads game but I have no problem spending a few dollars to support the game developers.”
    • “Been playing this for 10 years and finally will have to delete the game. They are just too greedy, the ads are ridiculous. You used to let the players click on secret items and get 1k coins, .99 cents would get you 50k, now it gets you 35k. You don't even get your full game payout; 4 players bid 10k = 40k, but payout isn't 20k to each winner. No, they charge a rake on play money. Ridiculously greedy. Go back to what made this game awesome and addicting.”
    • “This game is just bots where you lose constantly, so you have to watch their stupid ads to get coins to play. Even when playing with friends, the ability for the bots to get the most perfect hands every time means you lose your coins and have to watch more ads.”
    • “The bets are too high to play, plus all the stupid ads you have to watch now to get extra coins, which is only 1000 coins per ad, and it's 10,000 coins to even play. Not to mention you can only watch like 5 or 6 ads. So guess what? You will have to come out of pocket with real cash to even play. This game has become nothing but a money scheme.”

    • “Horrible glitches and the app closes out on itself in the middle of a game.”
    • “The game constantly freezes, slows down, then crashes in the middle of tournaments.”
    • “This game always takes my money; it also freezes up and I lose coins, and I've lost a lot of money dealing with a game I once used to love.”

  • humor7 mentions

    The humor in user reviews for Spades Plus is mixed; players enjoy the amusing elements like silly faces and the overall fun atmosphere of the game, but they also find humor in the frustrating aspects, such as technical issues and perceived unfairness. While some appreciate the lightheartedness of the game, others express that the lack of support and glitches can be ironically amusing, albeit in a negative way. Overall, the humor is derived from both the enjoyable features and the game's shortcomings.

    • “Spades Plus is my favorite game, not just the card game but all kinds of online games. There are so many wonderful things about this game, too many to list! I would be here for days typing, lol. Just to list a few: I love winning new decks of cards, making friends, and winning the silly faces—they are hilarious, by the way! So many different types of games, the spinning wheel, the lucky hall; the fun and excitement never ends. So in my opinion, buckle up because Spades Plus is a fantastic ride.”
    • “It's funny that it starts just fine, can play a whole round, even two rounds, but it most definitely freezes before I can finish a hand.”
    • “Update: went back on the game—funny that after I gave a bad review, I can't get more than 1 book every hand. It's not an algorithm, it's fixed.”
  • music6 mentions

    • “But the number one thing that annoys me is I'll have the music and sound muted so I can play my music on Bluetooth, but after a time, the settings are ignored and the game music and sounds will blast.”
    • “Annoying when you're listening to music.”

    • “You can no longer choose your missions; they choose for you.”
    • “They give me missions and then make it impossible to complete. For example, they give me a mission to break spades four times and then deal me hands that make it impossible to win, let alone break spades!”
    • “Used to be able to earn spades cash by completing missions.”
