Easy to use/learn the game, and the ads aren't too bad, but the AI "partner" needs a lot of work... Having only self-taught using the instructions within the app itself, I've watched the computer "team/partner" play the worst possible cards in too many games, including throwing hands that cause them to miss their bid and playing low combinations that cause me to miss a "nil" bid. At this point I assume the game partner will underbid most hands.

Um, no. First of all, you can't even buy a version with no ads. So after EVERY HAND you have to watch a 30-second or a 60-second ad for another game. Who has time for that? On my second game, I lead the first round with the Ace of hearts, and my computer opponent trumped the trick and took it. Just because they had no hearts, not because it was a good move. Look for a better Spades game - trust me.

Not exactly what I would say is the best AI going. It's "supposed" to be learning my playing style, but I believe it's at the expense of using any resemblance of common sense. It's almost totally void of any skill of covering your Nil hand and will regularly under bid 1 or 2 tricks. Other than cutting your trick every so often and leading who knows what from time to time, your win/loss ratios are great. You'll win most of the time, so there's that.
