Bookbag is the best way to track and keep score for all your Spades games.
Growing up in Kentucky, family reunions meant one thing: Spades. Uncles debated hands, cousins kept score on napkins, and everyone “knew” the rules (for the most part).
Then I moved to Philadelphia and played with people from other cities like DC and NYC. Same game, slightly different rules. Scoring became a nightmare — and existing apps couldn't handle the variations.
That's why I built Bookbag — a scorekeeping companion app that adapts to your rules.
Everything you need to keep score like a pro.
Hundreds of rule variations to match exactly how you play.
Available on both iOS and Android devices.
Cast your scoreboard to any TV for everyone to see.
Track all your games and stats over time.

In-app tutorials for beginners and rule references.
CSV export, ad-free experience, and custom themes.
Automatic sandbag counting with penalty alerts.
Get started in three simple steps.
Adjust the rules to match your group's preferences
Log bids for each player at the start of each round
