Leave a Review Spider Solitaire
Stands the test of time
I’ve been playing this game for the last couple of years and really enjoy the challenge. Sometimes I play for speed, sometimes for difficulty and sometimes for the number of moves. This year I’ve challenged myself to complete every Daily Challenge.
The only complaint I have is that I wish there was more strategy information I.e. is it better to always clear a column or turn over a new buried card? And is it better to move a long more complete run or again, uncover a card or a column? Years playing the game and I still have no solid answer to those questions. Oh well, an excuse to keep trying to figure it out.
I do pay for the subscription bi- annually and feel I get my money’s worth. It’s the only game I pay for.Show lessmariecpa2000
Problems with ads
I have been playing this games for years, and have always appreciated the 5 second ads. Recently, after watching a 5 second ad, when I hit the X to close it, the same ad comes up, maybe in a little different format. At times, I have to watch 3 of these, for the same product, to get back to the game.
Tonight, there is the added problem with a banner ad for Candy Crush Soda that is at the bottom of the screen when I am playing the game. There is no option to remove it, and it covers the toolbar for game play. If I touch it just right, I can activate the needed tool because after playing the games so long, I know where the actions I need are located (undo, hint, etc.) However, many times, I end up being taken to the App Store for The Candy Crush game. Frustrating!
I really like this game, and all the Mobility Ware games. I appreciate all the statistics features and options to change graphics and games play features. Please fix these ad issues.Show lessgeorgesbub
Loved this game until….And then I loved it again!!
Update: MobilityWare contacted me and they are trying to fix the situation with the App Store permission page. I’m thankful that they cared enough to reach out to me. Because MobilityWare cared and their app is free, I’m bumping them up to 5 stars. The game helps to quiet my mind, which is needed most days! Thank you, MobilityWare!
I absolutely loved this game until the App Store started popping up there own permission page in between my games and it would freeze my screen every time. I tried clicking on the continue button, but nothing and there was no X or close button as an option. I had to shutdown my phone and restart it each and every time. I’ve been with you all for a long time, please fix whatever is broke or stop the App Store from forcing their page to come up so often. Thank you.Show lessGMS777777
A good game but unethical practices
I had this game on my Samsung phone and then I got an IPhone. Before I got it I read many reviews from iPhone users about how invasive the ads were. I contacted the company and they assured me that the ads were completely dismissible and that I should have no problem but did not offer an explanation about the differences between the two operating systems. I have now been using the app for a couple months and I must say that the ads were much different and much worse on the iPhone to the point that you could spend five minutes trying to dismiss an ad and it would put you into an endless loop. I reported my experience to no avail. They have some advertisers that are truly obnoxious but it is really difficult to figure out the names of the apps that they’re promoting and screen captures don’t do the experience justice because it doesn’t explain how long and how many tries you’ve had to make to dismiss the app. I am a developer myself and I understand the issue about receiving payment and I completely agree that people should be paid for their work, but this app says it’s free and then brow beats people into paying even though they claim that the ads are completely dismissible. I guess they should say “ads are eventually dismissible”.Show lessL!ve2bfr33
Love it or leave it?
Have been a subscriber for years and really enjoyed it, but now I think it’s time to go. This game has been "improved" until it is no longer a solitary card game but a team sport all about competition and record keeping. Going back to an actual deck of cards, with no bells or whistles. Won’t be as convenient as picking up my iPad or phone on a whim, but will certainly be more relaxing and more de stressing. I used to get so angry when someone would walk past and stop to say "there, put the red 3 on the black 4”. Solitaire is meant to allow your brain to turn off, step out of the rat race, contemplate, and do some free thinking. No interruptions and no pressure. That has all been lost here. Too many new employees coming in trying to prove their worth by "keeping things fresh", adding something new to make your game stand out.
I don’t understand why that is the way things are being done by this generation. When you have the perfect, tried and true basic game, just keep the bugs out and your hands off. If you want to appeal to a younger or different market, either after an option to upgrade or develop a new game and give it a new name. Just leave the original one alone, working in perfect condition. You would then have captured the whole market and not just be competing with everyone else for the loudest most active crowd of the moment.Show lessPennyAnnie2

Great Spider ... played it for long time ... adds "intensity" well balanced ... may it last forever. NOT so happy with recent sound "intrusions" to other streaming sound content simultaneous to gaming. Please reconsider or provide sound opt out alternative. Otherwise still very satisfied. ... FINALLY recently dropped sound invasion practice ... thanks ... great ... ... still work to be done around this sound stream disruptions ... adds frequently cause interruption of such ... bad taste to associate with the “disruptor” party ... ... fewer ... thanks ... sound stream disruptions ... very rare other sound streaming total interruptions, requiring you to “restart”, still occur … advertisement that does not show correctly and looses “operativity”, requiring Spider restarting … and the newby: Spider not having enough zoom to take whole screen … still great app … thanks …Show lessLate nite checker
Why does it no load unless I retry multiple times
I play several mobility games and all of them either don't load unless you try several times or you have to wait multiple minutes for it to load. What's the problem mobility? I almost feel like you're taking that time I'm waiting so you can hack my phone? I am no longer going to play these mobility games because I’m tired of ads interrupting a game and like so many others are commenting it takes way too long to finally get back to the game and play. You spend more time waiting for the ads which I don’t look at anyway then you do playing the game. There are other similar games that don’t do this. Updating once more..the developer always wants your email addresss to “see why you are having issues” except that never changes anything. I get you have ads so you make money..but waiting 3 to 5 minutes between each hand is now more than I and I see more people do not want to deal with. Seems all mobility games do this. Other developers have 10 seconds of forced ads then you can continue play. I don’t understand what the problem is but no one is interested in ads..I don’t read them and I don’t buy off them. I do advertising as a profession and know in these kinds of activities these ads are a big waste of time for the user and a huge annoyance turning potential customers away. Ads can be quick but not dragging on like theseShow lessneed it to work please

Hi there, thank you for the updated review!

Please Contact Us with more information so that we can address these particular misbehaving ads. We look forward to hearing from you!Spider solitaire
Great game like the two suit challenging.l have been playing this game for a long time. I’m now playing on a IPhone 13. Like one of the previous reviewer said you have to X out of the ads numerous times to get back to the game but what is so frustrating is when a ad comes on and there is no x and it just sets there. I have to shut my phone off at least 3 or 4 times when I play the game or the ad comes up and is off to the side. Have to shut the phone off and reboot. Now I’m just getting a white screen. Again shut the phone off and reboot need to correct these problems. Now there’s a milk dog ad that’s on a continuous loop and you can’t play the gameShow lessAprlady
What changed??
Been playing over five years, on a few different devices. Just got a new Apple phone and had to start from scratch a couple weeks ago!! Major pain watching ad after ad trying to catch up with six weeks of missed goals!!! Horrible!! And NOW the past couple of weeks, I play Spider, Free Cell and traditional Solitaire, and I’m being interrupted in MIDPLAY while choosing my next play by an AD!!! Very random, but often enough it’s quite unsettling !! Being in the zone and getting T BONED by an obnoxious ad you’ve seen thirty times already in the past couple hours of play time. I’ve already tried to attach a screen shot but I can’t upload photos while the game is playing and it won’t let me copy and paste here. Perplexing to say the least. I understand the need for them, but now, since I can’t back out or Xout off the ad in mid game without losing it, I’ve guesstimated about 15-25 minutes of game play is sitting watching redundant ads I’m not interested in following up with!! I usually just shut off the phone or pick up an old Samsung one to continue play there, where, by the way, it doesn’t happen!!Show lessMFHulshoff

New info: you have a problem with the fiverr pro ad…it freezes and there’s no way out except to quit the game. Also, I couldn’t figure out how to send feedback except thru this review. It seemed like a circle taking me back to the same pages. I really enjoy the game.
What’s the deal? Do you not test the ads that you put up to see if they have a way to get out of them? There’s more and more of them. I have to shut down my phone to get rid of them. The last one turned the screen black and there was no way to get to the game. Please change it so we can leave more than one review. I appreciate you fixing the above. So I’ve changed my star number. But I just had an add something about beauty and it’s a horrible thing for a young girl to see. Too much emphasis on what she should look like and even how to walk. I think you have a responsibility to not contribute to girls poor self image with your games n ads. Normally they are fine but this one is over the top.Show lessokpaducah
