I was recently permanently banned for essentially doing the same thing. The last time I was banned it was for calling out their racism in the common chat. I am horrified by how overtly racist the administration is on this app. When you turn it off, the microphone button disappears for everyone. Table Talk is the voice chat feature at the table. So, there is no shortage of rude players. Unfortunately Spades is popular among ex-cons and gang members. Player has 7 minutes to reconnect before he is penalised for a long absence. Lowering WiFi frequency may help in the latter case. Disconnected players either lose cell coverage or use WiFi. On the contrary, even 2G connection is enough to play. I look forward to seeing better versions in the future That should be the very minimum of improvements on this matter The functionality for turning off table talk doesn’t work either. Even in the common chats people use derogatory and hurtful language, specifically the throwing around homophobic terms. I’ve seen players verge on verbal abuse during games and contacting the app about it isn’t easy. The other area of improvement is better administration of chats. 2- I’d also recommend allowing ping time before disconnecting. I speculate that these players are using their phones and/or not connected to WiFi? A few reccos- 1 if the former is the case, make it clear players should connect to WiFi. Apparently players also lose 3 points if disconnected, this hasn’t happened to me personally, but if it did with any frequency I would abandon the app all together. It’s disappointing to be on a winning streak, or a come back, only to have the game end abruptly. This is a frustrating experience, especially because games of Spades can last over 30 minutes. What’s strange is many of these players are fully active up until the moment they get disconnected. The first is connectivity, players get disconnected mid-game I’d say 30% of the time. I’ve been using this app for a few weeks now, and while I do enjoy it there are some improvements needed. Great game, needs better chat admin and to fix connectivity issues
