Leave a Review Spider Solitaire
What Happened?
I’ve been playing this game for more than a year. I used to love playing it even with the ads popping up between each game. Sometimes the ads would pop up during the game. But they were fun to watch and didn’t take forever and a day to complete. Now, however, the ads keep going and going and going and take you to the App Store. What a headache! It’s so irritating!! In order to get back to the game, I have to close the app and re-open it. What happened? Before this change in ad presentation, I would have given it 5 stars. UPDATE: The developers responded to me. It is wonderful to see that they really care and want to help. I can now report that I am no longer getting stuck in the advertisement or in the App Store. Yay!
It’s happening again! Specifically, it’s The Candy Crush ad. It takes a long time to time out. There is no way to close it without ending up at the App Store screen. You then have to close your Spider app and then reopen it again. Can you do something about this problem? It’s very aggravating!Show lessILRC for Bvi

I've been playing Spider since before there were computers. It’s THE BEST solitaire game for allowing a player to develop skill as opposed to other solitaires which rely more on the luck of the draw. I win about 45% of the time on this app game, which echoes about the same win rate I have with real cards… therefore I believe the deals in the app truly are random. Love all the graphics and options, including the ability to use my own photo for the background. But these new aggressive ads!!! You can’t get out of some of them without actually closing the app and then reopening it! That’s just plain rude. Don’t these advertisers realize we’re not going to be bullied into taking their products when they launch an advertising assault like that? Please fix!Show lesskamcap
Closing Ads
First off, let me just say this game is great. It’s fun, nostalgic of the early 2000’s when spider solitaire and minesweeper were auto installed on your PC... really like how you can change the background and card backs without needed to buy something.
Although on the other hand, the ads have really small close buttons, making them very hard to close, and often times, when trying to close them, you open them at least 2 times. This is especially true to ‘happy color’ or whatever. It kind ruins the fun cause it takes you out of getting to the next deal. It’s not game breaking, but really dampers the experience. I would really appreciate if the button to close the ad was bigger.
Thanks for your timeShow lessSpy149
I LOVE this game but . . .
I have played this game for ever! It relaxes me. It’s a great game. I give it five stars. But, there are two problems that make it extremely difficult to enjoy. The first is the ads. Not because there are ads. I get it (well, kind of), but I do. I don’t have a problem with them. Until recently. With the new ads there are almost always at least 3 different pages we’re having to X out of the ad. Why - why do we have to X out that many times for JUST ONE AD? That’s not the worst part. The worst is that you can never get the X to work. It brings you back to a different screen and you have to play this game until finally it will work and let you out. REALLY? Are you kidding me? This game is played for fun and especially relaxation. This situation is NOT at all relaxing! Please change the ads or get different ads so we don’t have to deal with this. The other is that I there are so many times where I get the same game - same cards, over and over. Sometimes is a different game in between but then that one will repeat. It’s a loop it doesn’t seem to get out of. It doesn’t last forever but it can happen for quite a while. I’d love it if you could really try and figure out these issues. I will delete this if it is not fixed or changed. It’s just not worth the aggravation when I need to sleep. Id rather not though. I thank you for the game and your time.Show lessS'mala

After every win, there is a little celebration on the screen, usually a moving image made of playing cards, whether that be a ship in 3D rotation, a heart made of hearts that expands and shrinks back, or something else. But my very favorite is the dancing king; he makes me grin with delight every time he shows up.
The game itself plays very well - images are clear, response time exactly right for me, options for one suit or more, if you like the challenge. Speaking of challenges, there’s a daily challenge board with medals you can earn, and as you win enough games to go up certain levels (which are not harder, just achievements), you earn cute titles.
I play this game first thing every morning. My iPad knows my habits and offers me quick access!Show lessZephyrel
What
What can u say spider is spider, there is a better version out there but I lost it when I reconfigured my phone and could not find it again. So now I have this version. The only dif is that when u drag your cards the old version would compensate if u grab to many or to few , it was easier for those of us with thick fingers. Other than that how could u screw this up or make it better. Spider is a great addictive game. It's not like u guys invented it. Ok it's nice to customize your deck, what do you want a cookie, ok u at least deserve a cookie give me an address I'll send u one. Update they didn’t except my offer for a cookie nor do I care about customizing the deck . What I need is a twelve step program to release my soul from this constant cycle of monotony. Maybe Smith and Wesson has one.Show lessJet baby jetpack
Issues since last update
Before the last update I would have rated this game a five. The last update made playing the game very frustrating. There are more pop ups and I was at the end of finishing a tough daily challenge and it flipped to a pop up that did not take me back to the game when I hit the X. The game disappeared and when it came back up it was at the beginning. I don't mind pop ups between games and yours are especially nice because they are only 5 seconds but I will not keep playing with mid game pop ups. *** I really appreciate the quick response and offer of assistance in resolving the issue. I have not had any issues since! Thank you!Show lessGroup therapy
Problems with Ads
I love this Spider Solitaire Game but am about to go to a different producer of it. I play probably over 50 games a day but I have about had it with the ads. It locks ads in without an x or close and I have to shut my IPad down to get the ad to go off. This past week I lost all my points, trophies, etc and had to delete it and start all over because the screen went a brownish color, not black, although it’s done that before when the ad was about to come on. I Tried everything to no avail including shutting it down and Playing other games and coming back to it. Finally after every effort gave up and deleted it. And I furious to have to start all over from the beginning a
. You need to resolve this issue. If it happens again I will no longer play this game or your game of Mahjong.
Well, I did as I threatened after more frustration from too many glitches and problems. Have deleted this Solitaire game and am now playing the”Blue” Spider game. Much less stressful and few ads. Much happier now. Miss some of your features but not worth the frustration. I bet you don’t print this part!!Show lessJan Cavender

I absolutely love this addictive game and play it very often. It helps me keep my mind alert and awake. The only complaint I have at all, is the fact that when I’m in a doctor’s office or I a waiting room where I want to play, but obviously want to be silent, I will put my phone on silent mode. However, even in silent mode, some of the loud ads somehow bypass my phone’s silent mode setting and are able to blast their ads at full volume, much to my embarrassment. All other games I have will silence ads and all noise when my phone is in silent mode, as it should be. One ad that offends me and always blasts is “Buffalo Inferno” and “Hearts of Vegas slots.”
Although I’m still able to turn my volume down quickly, the point of silent mode is to not have to do that so unexpectedly! I wish the makers of the game would better screen their ads to not accept any that bypass the user’s phone settings! That’s manipulation and is extremely frustrating; so frustrating that I will definitely delete this Spider app if these types of ads continue, and will be forced to find another Spider app that does not hijack my phone settings!
*If this practice stops, I will consider reloading this app.Show lessKim Sells

We hope to hear from you soon!Hijacked by one particular ad
Mobility ware”s ad policy had improved (time limit on ads, easier to find close button) and the quality of the ads improved. At least for me, shopping ads were better than casino and shot-em-up games. But a recent ad, blacks out the screen, the the adwith an orangish background opens but is mis-scaled so the name of the ad does not fit on the screen. After a while the screen turns to white and thento black. I think it is a picture matching game but can’t complain about it by name because I can’t see the name. It stays black and no amount of tapping does any good. You have to kick Spider out of memory and then reopen.
My favorite game is becoming my most disliked gameShow lessHnRsjc
