Synopsis
While Spade ICM does its job and contains a quiz feature, it just doesn't compare in usability to the big three, SNGPT, SNGWiz and SNGEGT, that currently dominate the market.

Full Review
Overall, the SpadeICM is not a bad program, but it simply doesn't live up to the standards set by its competitors. The graphics are antiquated and there some serious usability problems. The lack of a good tutorial or help page really hurts this program because it may be much better than we think. The guide page on SpadeIT's website was somewhat helpful, but missing important pieces.
The quiz feature did seem to do its job, although there were still issues with learning to use the program. We would love know what the selector box at the top, with choices tight, medium and loose, was for and what those things applied to. We couldn't find an answer anywhere.
For $40, Spade ICM is not a bad choice, but for $79 you can buy SNG Wizard, which we think is a much better program.
