\physbf{Context.~} In recent years detection of flares and superflares on stars gained a lot of attraction, but the origin of superflares is still under debate. One possibility is that superflares are scaled up versions of normal flares, for which we would expect to find a correlation with the appearance of spots on the stars surface.

\physbf{Aims.~} This study aims to relate flares and superflares on stars to the appearance of spots on the surfaces of stars of various spectral types using Kepler/K2 and TESS lightcurves.

\noindent
\physbf{Methods.~} We analysed over 300 stars with a newly developed GUI application and flare detection algorithm, which can detect flares with normalized peaks of as low as 0.3\% above their surrounding flux. The lightcurves are then folded by the automatically detected spot modulation period.

\physbf{Results.~} We split the results by spectral classification of the analysed stars. We also present individual results for BD-08 995, TYC 1360-957-1, TYC 4595-107-1, V* V471 Tau, V* HK Aqr, KOI-256 and 2MASS J19230963+3739397.

\physbf{Conclusions.~} The only cumulative results which shows a significant spot dependence are those for G type stars. The results for K type stars show one siginificant peak in the 10 bin histogram. There is not significant spot dependence for M type stars, even though some individual stars show spot dependence.
