### 5/5 — Love this game, best streak 3,520!

*2023-01-29, version 1.9*

But I’m missing the clock which disappeared in the latest update! Please can it come back or I’m going to be late for everything!

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-08-16, version 1.8.1*

Very good.

### 5/5 — Eric solitaire

*2021-05-28, version 1.8.1*

I had the Mac CD years ago and enjoyed it

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2020-06-27, version 1.8.1*

I’m addicted. But I want to know if the algorithm has made every game winnable? I’m now on a steak of 310 straight wins at the hardest 4 suit level. Some games have taken me many tries, but I always get there. Am I going to hit an unwinnable game, or is just a question of perseverance? Eric?

### 5/5 — Eric Snider’s Solitaire

*2018-11-19, version 1.8.1*

I use the single deck Spider Solitaire. I love Eric’s implementation. The graphics are colorful and detailed. I like the hints. Both the glow and wiggle. The animation is usually smooth. There are occasions when a card will get “stuck” at the peak of the animation. It will freeze on screen at it’s largest size. This started over a year ago and has stayed in every version since. I have to tap somewhere else on the screen for the card to go back to its normal size. This should be fixed. It happens on any version of iPad and also on iPhone 6 and 8.

### 1/5 — Spider

*2018-10-28, version 1.8.1*

Can you fix the game from freezing every once in a while?
4-14-2018. It is still freezing. Please fix it
10-28-18. It is now freezing every 2 or 3 moves. Very frustrating. Please take the time to figure out what is doing this.

### 1/5 — Miss the old version

*2018-06-22, version 1.8.1*

When I got new iPad the old Eric’s spider solitaire was unavailable.  I have played it for years.  This new version does not allow you to drag cards and looks so different. Hope I can get used to it. Very frustrating!

### 5/5 — Spider

*2018-04-17, version 1.8.1*

FUN GAME - lots of practice helps

### 5/5 — Nice challenge

*2018-03-14, version 1.8.1*

Distracting challenging at the end d a long day!

### 5/5 — Spider Solitaire

*2017-12-15, version 1.8.1*

I've been playing Spider ever since the game came out. It is still my favorite game.  I have played over 36,699 games. My grandkids reseat one of my I pads and I was in the 10's of thousands. Grandmother was not a happy camper. They now know if they touch a game when there is an X jiggling the game disappears. Thanks for inventing this game.
