### 4/5 — 10/10 recommend

*2026-02-08*

I love this game I’ve been playing it since I was about 15 I’m 27 now 🤣 this is always the first game I look for to download when I get a new phone this one and Pou

### 4/5 — It cheats

*2022-03-23*

First of all, this is my favorite app on my tablet. I generally play this at least once a day, and have for several years. When I got my new tablet a few months ago, I specifically looked for this particular one. I’m even glad the blonde is still there. When I play, it’s only with 4 suits and I’m looking for a win, not a score. 
My only complaint is that sometimes the random generator does a lousy job of shuffling. If I get the next deal and 4 cards are the same value, or I turn over cards in a stack and 3 or 4 cards are the same value, then the app has stacked the deck against me, and that’s cheating.I HATE THAT! All I want is an honest shuffle. Don’t try to give me a hard game or an easy one, just an honest shuffle.
That said, I love it.

### 4/5 — Scoring

*2022-02-18*

Wish that the method of scoring was the variance of the BEST available score and the PLAYER’S score; that the closer you are to the best available score the better your score. There are rounds where I am 20 points off from my “best” score but I feel like I played the best possible game I could to clear the board. Yes, this would require a lot of analysis to figure out each hands best possible score but that score is going to vary depending on the hand dealt and can’t be compared to the best score you’ve attained on a different level. But heck, isn’t that the beauty of computers…. To analyze and crunch these statistics?

### 4/5 — Fun game needs a reward at the end

*2021-12-03*

I enjoy playing this game very much, however when you complete it, there is nothing saying ‘Well done!’ Or ‘You won!’ It just goes back to the Home Screen, which is a bit of a let down. We all love a bit of praise!

### 4/5 — Spider

*2021-08-31*

Muiiiito bom messssmo!!!!. Obrigado.

### 5/5 — Super Spiel

*2019-07-14*

Ich liebe dieses Spiel und Spiele es sehr oft. Es hat vor allem nicht Zuviel Werbung 😃

### 5/5 — Sehr gutes Solitär Spiel!

*2018-11-03*

Ich spiele es sehr oft, und hatte bisher noch keinerlei Probleme mit der App.

### 5/5 — Just a couple things

*2018-08-19*

Yes, please get rid of the stereotypical sexy blond.  Also, I would love to have the option of playing a game again, even if I did win (to try for a better score).

### 5/5 — YaHoo

*2018-03-17*

Love this game. It's the only game I play

### 5/5 — Spider Solitaire.

*2018-02-18*

My favourite card game since iv been playing it here.

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2017-11-23*

I love this game it’s addictive

### 3/5 — Ok

*2017-06-12*

I don't like how you have to move whole lane of cards just to move one card over. I also don't care for how it has a woman on a sexy outfit as you win at the end. I'm sorry, but where are all the men here? I don't want to be looking at a sexy woman. I am a woman and would prefer a man. Uh hello?

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2017-05-18*

I like playing spider.  One of the features of this app that I appreciate is that is lights up the cards that are playable.  👍

### 2/5 — Update April 2017

*2017-04-30*

Disappointed the " play again " has gone from the latest edition.

### 5/5 — Distracting

*2017-04-25*

Like the game, but don't like the ads. They are distracting to the game. There should be a bottom to make them disappear if you don't want to see them.

### 5/5 — Addictive!

*2017-04-15, version 2.0.5*

It's a lot of fun and hard to stop playing!

### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads

*2018-08-06*

I like this game above all other spider solitary in fact it was my favorite ... BUT the adds for singles and hookup are too much. I cannot even hit the X to get rid of them or say they are offensive anymore. I can deal with all the other ads but these keep popping up. I am through with this game. NEVER AGAIN. I AM TIRED OF THIS. fix it or I’m gone forever.

### 1/5 — Used to love this game but...

*2018-01-14*

Video ads pop up mid game, making it impossible to play.

### 1/5 — Das letzte Update

*2017-04-13*

Ich würde das letzte Update gern rückgängig machen. Es macht keinen Spaß mehr. Karten sind im Dunkeln. Nur die vorderen sind hell. Bitte wieder Update zum alten.

### 1/5 — Difficult

*2017-01-27*

Hard to find options to increase number of suits or change card face. Deleted two minutes after downloading.

### 1/5 — Customer

*2016-11-30, version 2.0.0*

I don't like this current version. The previous version was better and you could save the game. I am looking for another game that I like and as I will change.

### 1/5 — Mrs

*2016-11-25, version 2.0.0*

The new changes are terrible.  Take it back to old play.NO dragging   needed of cards

### 1/5 — Leider muss man min. 1 Stern geben

*2016-11-22*

Zunächst einmal: der Highschool aus der alten Version wird in die neue Version nicht übernommen. Weiterhin ist es so, dass das Programm sagt, man möge doch bitte die leeren Reihen auffüllen, bevor man vom neuen Stapel umdreht. Du nur, wenn das gar nicht mehr kann, da alle Karten korrekt liegen. Somit ist man nicht mehr in der Lage, einen korrekt liegenden Stapel umzusortieren und das Spiel ist vorbei. Manchmal hängt sich das Spiel auf.

### 1/5 — New update

*2016-11-22, version 2.0.0*

I hate the new update. It changed everything I liked about AE's version of this game! The earlier version was better!

### 1/5 — Bye

*2016-11-20, version 2.0.0*

Your latest update not only wiped out the stats I was working on, it also took away features I like and added features that I don't like.  And made the game less enjoyable.  So I will choose to uninstall. Bye

### 2/5 — Good and bad
