### 4/5 — Old Faithful

*2025-07-18, version 7.8*

I rated it five because it’s about my earliest iPad game and I play it when I’m tired. I know it’s not perfect, but I keep coming back to it. Almost every day : 3 games. Not sure but I think it took me 10 years to get a score of 116.🤨 I feel like I feel you when I lose. It’s just a hint whether my luck is in that day. lol.

### 4/5 — Unfortunately

*2019-01-05, version 6.0*

Would be nice to be able to restart a deal to follow a path not selected earlier

### 4/5 — Closes out music

*2013-08-03, version 2.9*

Great game but can't listen to my music on my ipad and play this at the same time. When I open it it closes out my music. Still addictive!

### 5/5 — Closest to PC classic

*2013-05-24, version 2.6*

Tried 3 other spider games and nothing like the classic...this one is.

### 5/5 — Loving it!

*2013-05-14, version 2.6*

Great game!

### 5/5 — Winner

*2013-04-19, version 2.6*

I love the challenge, and I can proudly say I finally won a game hardest level of Spider solitaire!

### 5/5 — Winnable

*2013-01-13, version 2.4*

91 best score so far, entertaining, like the scoring on the improved version

### 3/5 — Spider solitaire

*2013-01-13, version 2.4*

I really don't like this version with the buttons on top.  It's much easier to play with the buttons on the bottom.  Some of the hints aren't the best choices. Still a fun, addicting game.

### 3/5 — Newest version

*2013-01-12, version 2.4*

I don't like the changes in the board. The controls on the bottom were more intuitive for me. Game play seems unchanged. And is fine.

### 4/5 — New 2.1 has a bug, otherwise love this game

*2012-12-14, version 2.2*

Lots of hours playing this game. When you play music from any source, it stops the animation and you have to re-select the music. It worked fine on the previous version. Thanks for the free edition. The ads are not annoying and allow playing without interruption .

### 4/5 — fun

*2012-12-07, version 2.2*

nicely done. good version of spider.

### 1/5 — Problem

*2026-01-04, version 7.8*

When there are open columns, clue just suggests moving an existing column.

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2024-12-15, version 7.7*

The game has stopped registering wins.  Number of wins does not advance.  Please fix it. I’ve had a lot of enjoyment playing this game — mostly, I admit, watching the total wins rise.

### 1/5 — Why so many pop up ads

*2020-11-23, version 7.0*

Game okay, but ads making it so going to stop playing!

### 1/5 — Hate the distracting ads

*2019-08-12, version 6.0*

Really liked this game until the latest update. Now even when the iPad is in airplane mode, the ads invade the bottom of the screen, popping and flashing.  The game is now distracting and irritating.

### 1/5 — Favorite game but.....

*2017-08-25, version 5.0*

I play this game everyday and I believe I paid for this many years ago,now after every game there are ads. Sooo many ads???? Why?? All of the sudden???.  When I went to app to ask why and to see if it could be corrected, you can't even call or write to anyone cause it's all in Chinese! I will have to delete as well!

### 1/5 — Intrusive Advertising

*2017-08-09, version 5.0*

The new ads are horrible. Especially since they now disrupt the game and create noise. I play in SILENCE. Deleting after many years of loving this app.

### 1/5 — Fun game but....

*2016-03-02, version 4.2*

Is a nice version of spider solitaire but it doesn't play well with Game Center so can only give 3 stars...update 07/09/2015...... Game volume is out of control......even with my iPad Air 2 volume on mute the game screams all the moves.....fix please.......woke up my neighbors 3 doors down.....latest update...03/02/16 still has a volume problem on my iPad....even with my volume on mute the sound is annoyingly loud...otherwise a fun game.

### 1/5 — Not a good version

*2013-07-19, version 2.7*

While is working properly, it is a good version. I had to erase all my scores, because when you try to move the cards, they move slow or get stock. Its like they are frozen. I got this game because it is the version my parents used... Had to erase theirs as well due to the same problem. Just get another version!

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2011-08-09, version 1.6*

Liked this app until it tried to force me to open game center. Won't be playing it any more

### 2/5 — OMG!

*2013-01-11, version 2.4*

This solitaire game is extremely hard played on NORMAL level! I DO NOT recommend his game to anyone that does not like a serious challenge. It's more frustrating than fun!

### 5/5 — Rankings ?

*2021-12-30, version 7.0*

Great game, would like to see some world rankings added. Lol.

### 5/5 — Chrissie

*2019-05-26*

Good game it challenges you

### 5/5 — Good spider game

*2018-08-29, version 5.7*

Excellent game; only play hard level.   Definitely winnable!

### 5/5 — Third review

*2017-12-29, version 5.5*

First review was 5 stars then a update occurred and ads were inserted, they were in before the game started, after the game ended and the abundance of ads caused me to write another review at a two star rating. Not long after another update occurred removing the ads, the game is back to 5 stars😄👍

### 5/5 — Best spider game

*2017-12-29, version 5.0*

Good game. The only thing I'd like to see is the ability to replay the game.

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2016-01-26, version 4.1*

Every update this game just gets better and better.

### 5/5 — Classic Spider

*2015-12-23, version 4.0*

Very frustrating. Can be played quite fast with next to no lag. Frustrating 'cos I've only won 63 times. Very good!!

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2015-04-24, version 3.3*

Love this game because it engages your mind and sharpens your powers of observation. There are different levels of difficulty so it is actually possible to win once in a while. Lots of fun!

### 5/5 — Totally addictive

*2015-04-10, version 3.3*

Used to love it on my PC. This is even better!

### 5/5 — Spider

*2013-06-24, version 2.7*

I have tried a few of them, and this one was the best.
