Pros and cons of SpadesSC app for iPhone and iPad
SpadesSC app good for
Keeps perfect score! Can change names and undo! Way better then pen and paper.
Glitch in the software, I have it where nil bags dont count but it counted them anyway. Please fix that.
Weve been very happy with this app and use it quite often. Weve found one or two issues in the last year or so and the developer has been very responsive.
It doesnt handle every scoring variation that Ive seen but it handles more than we use.
It makes keeping score much easier but you should determine if it handles your particular scoring variation.
Great app. Took a few minutes to figure out, and has become our standard scoring app. To those reviewers that cant make changes in the Options menu, you just need to quit the current game. Once you quit, go back to preferences and make your changes.
I love this app! The scoring works great! There are a couple features I would love. I like to play with bags, where they count against you once you get 10 of them but where they dont add the 1 point. Also, I would love to be able to see team bids while bidding. I love that it shows you how many bids are still out there! Again, this is a great scoring app!
Kevin... Thanks so much for this app. Please make it possible to make changes to options during game play though. In the middle of a game all of a sudden we learn what renegade is... Not cool.
Some bad moments
If it kept a correct spades score. The first hand I tried using it we had a bid of 4 that was set but instead of -40 points it registered -90
I quickly deleted the app and used notes. Please fix this bug and Ill change my review. The ability to manually enter a players name instead of being forced to use a contact would be nice too. This app has a long way to go but its a good concept
Great scoring sheet. However, when you click on the blind button, there is no way to do anything else, except click misdeal & thats not good. It would also be very helpful if a user could set it up to play by house rules. My family has always played with blind6 rather than blind nil. But theres no way {that I can tell} to score that.
Basically, if your looking for a straightforward scorecard, this is it, but I need more.
One more thought...
We always bid as a team, not individually, that option would be great, too...
Since the most recent update, the option to undo scoring or bidding is missing. I cant even figure out how to start a new score sheet.
The options are not useable. I was unable to turn on blind bidding and could not change any penalties or preferences, no matter how hard I tried. This app does not work.
I bought the app after viewing the free version due to the advertised ability to change the names from North, South, East, West in options. I went through everything in options and this ability is not there.
There needs to be an option that allows for cut-throat play ... No teams, just every man for himself.
The app is great for teams but when we want to play cut-throat style we have use pencil and paper.
Please add this feature!
