Leave a Review Spider Solitaire
Was a 5 star game for years until recently :(
I’ve been playing this game for years! It is the only game on my phone. I play it constantly. It is a great stress reliever for me. I have played it for several hours straight during very stressful times or when I can’t sleep. However, the newest software updates are changing my feelings about it. The new video ads drive me crazy. They actually scared the crap out of me for the longest time during those late nights when I’m laying in bed late and can’t sleep. I would jump every time suddenly seeing people moving and up close in my face. And on occasion I’ve had the sound from a video randomly start playing during the middle of the game when my sound is turned off! It just did that twice in the last 5 minutes! That’s sure not helping me relax! I’m also having problems with it quitting on me in the middle of a game. Between the frustration over videos, it quitting on me multiple times per session and the sound playing without the videos while volume is off, it is no longer therapeutic. I am either frustrated or startled, defeating my purpose of playing this game.
I don’t want to play anything else! Please help!Show lessAAAron333

I have been playing this spider game for 2 years+ and loved it. We purchased the premium version, but the family sharing didn’t work. It put the games on my pc, but won’t let me open them. My husband hates the premium version, so he un8 stalled the. And went back to the versions he had. I can’t because instead of i stalling the new games the way his did, they went in over the games I had, and now I can’t get back to what I had. I absolutely hate the new version of this game and won’t play it. If I can’t get back to the old version I gad then I will go elsewhere to play.
Perhaps when the developers bring out a new version, they should allow the players to try it, and if they don’t like it, give us the options of reverting to what we had. In that way they won’t lose their customers like they are doing now.Show lessForrestvale
Mostly good
*update June 2019. Now the pop up ads are very frequent and some are still hostage style hijacking the screen for up to 30 seconds. I won’t watch them. I shut it down. Buying the app (again) is not an option. The new format is basically only renting the app, having to make regular payments. Not going to happen. I gave 2 stars because I am still using the app in spite of the inconvenience of non stop adds, and greed of the new rental format. I like the game though I the integrity of the app owners is lacking.
* update... new popup ads are now blocking the ap. There's no way to press the X to get rid of it!!!! Way to go Spider Solitaire. Just dropped to 1 star... disgusted...
I've had this for quite a while and have dealt with the pop up ads. Now the extremely loud forced music of the dang pop ups have become horridly invasive. Those cause me to use this app less and less. I bought the app once;, then when I got a new device somehow my paid app was lost and this horrid version was left. I haven't wanted to buy it again...Show lessVolcanoRose
Love this game
I really enjoy this app. I love playing the daily challenges and random shuffles. I’m not competing with anyone but myself. It’s a great distraction, relaxation and stress tool. I usually begin my day by playing the daily challenge on either my phone or tablet. Then I’ll play it at some point on the other device. I rated the game a 4-star, because I have had some issues with it stopping, closing out of the game and restarting after installing Apple’s 12.2 software. Frequently it will be at the beginning of the game after restarting. It makes playing the game frustrating, especially if you don’t want to start over. I’ve found it doesn’t count that against you ref 1st play! Hopefully that will be addressed soon!Show lessPremieangel
Ads in Middle of Game are ANNOYING
I downloaded this developer’s version of Spider Solitaire because Spider is my favorite solitaire game, and I wanted to check this one out.
I like the daily challenge, but have grown to DESPISE the ads, that frequently interrupt the actual game. I don’t mind ads, and I realize the developer needs the revenue, but I will be concentrating on the moves I want to make, when suddenly some woman’s finger is popping blocks on some other game, or a toilet is overflowing, or angry birds are being wiped out, or Publishers Clearinghouse wants to give me a million dollars. These interruptions cause me to completely lose my train of thought.
I will go back to another developer’s version, that displays a simple ad message at the top of the screen (and has no ads at all when not on Wifi).Show lessBrucesDaddy
Buggy but generally fun
I sometimes get stuck on the transition from “Mobility Ware” to the game, and it just sits there for maybe a flat 20 seconds. Then, when you load up a game, you have to wait another 20 seconds before you can start moving cards around. Then, if you go to another app, or really you don’t even have to go to another app. If you double press the home button, then tap back on Spider Solitaire, it will still make you wait about 20 seconds before it lets you do anything DESPITE you maybe only being off the game for less than a single second. It’s annoying when you leave for a split second to reply to someone, then come back to the solitaire app, have to wait before you can do anything and by the time you can, your friend has already texted you back. Sometimes, if you’re gone from the app for more than a couple seconds, then the whole app restarts and you have to wait through the whole loading process again and everything. However, I haven’t found another solitaire format that I like more and this is the only game I found that works in portrait mode. Just get rid of the bugs!!! If other apps can be immediately responsive after returning to the app after a short second, then so can some simple card game.Show lesschsufivkak

Please open the in-game Settings page, select Support and then Contact Us so that our team can get more information about the device that you are using. We look forward to hearing from you!I’ve always enjoyed playing spider solitaire until today
I would definitely give this fun game 5 stars until today.I’ve always loved playing spider solitaire with all the colorful backgrounds and fun card faces but today I wasn’t happy with the added “burst of color that spews out of the card when you line it up to match the same color in the card sequence” It’s very annoying to see it displayed on the screen each time you move the card or multiple cards to the matching color row of cards. I don’t know if I described it accurately but hopefully the developers will delete it from the game. This is only my opinion and I’m sure there are many players who might like the “burst of color that are red hearts and diamonds and black spades and clubs”. But, to me it’s an unnecessary addition to the game. I’ve recommended this game to my friends and family. It’s a fantastic game that challenges your cognitive thinking process. I apologize for being picky but the new addition really bothered me.Show less65smiley

Thanks for playing MobilityWare Spider!Bad update
I have loved this game, I’m a paying customer, but I’m disappointed with the current update. Now the columns no longer shrink up when you tap a very long column; this makes it harder to work with the bottoms of the columns. I got into a situation yesterday where I was trying to move an entire column near the center of the screen. Each time I tried to grab the column, the iPhone pulled down its short “swipe down” screen, interfering with the game. I was never able to move that column, I had to give up on it. I never had that problem with the game prior to this update. Finally, the new design for the menu at the bottom of the screen takes up more space than it used to, which is not a good thing.
I want to go back to the older version. I have always rated this game as five stars; now it drops to three stars. I hate “upgrades” that crow about the improvements but actually worsen the game. New themes are uninteresting if they come along with changes that worsen what used to be the best Spider in the App Store.

Been loving it for years
I’ve been playing this game for years, ever since I got my first IPhone. It must fit my personality. I like that I can replay the same deal or back up and replay moves. I find this very satisfying, because we don’t get many opportunities for do-overs in life. And it allows me to stubbornly refuse to give up, until I’ve played the deal so many times that I either win, or am satisfied that there is no possible way to win it.
It tends to be my go to game when I need to kill a few minutes, like waiting in the doctors office. It absorbs my attention and makes time run fast, but I can look up from it when I need to, without losing the game.
I do r know what people are talking about regarding ads. I don’t see any ads. Maybe I paid for an upgrade way back when.Show lessStarsphynx
Good game
The new version needs a few bug fixes for one it is hard to always see the suit of cards that are in the stacks without moving cards to look number to sometimes you’re in the middle of a game and it’s going to deal another card and the screen just goes blank, so you lose the game although sometimes you can come back in and it’s there. Sometimes the game seems to slow down to a crawl and you can slowly watch the movement of cards I don’t know if this has been corrected but I did press on one card and not get that card to get something else happening it’s seem to have nothing to do with what I was touching. It’s still a good game much faster dealing then summer games easier regards to another games like it.Show lessTechie 1111
