Text etc. is too big on an iPad when in landscape view. ### 3/5 — Game ads *2023-03-07* I don’t mind seeing the ads pop up. What I do mind is these constant game advertisements which take forever to finish showing. Flash them up and let us choose to download it or get back to our game. I’m about ready to quit the app. ### 3/5 — Love the game. HATE THE ANNOYING ADS WITH LOUD MUSIC *2018-10-05* Would give this a 5 star except for the ads that pop up. It’s not so much the ads as the fact that some have LOUD music that immediately starts playing really makes me dislike this game. It is so annoying and even embarrassing if I am in a doctor’s office waiting room or somewhere else that is quiet. **Developer response:** The latest version should be much better at handling sound in ads! The advertisers have made a better effort to support playing ads with audio off. The game app is set up to tell all ad networks to default to muting the ads. Would you mind trying Spider solitaire again and let me know if it's better for you?

I've been playing Eric Snider's solitaire for years. This looks like it's just as good. ### 5/5 — Challenging and fun *2016-03-13* This is a great game to play any time you have a long wait. The different levels let you choose how hard it is to win. Good graphics make it easy on the eyes. ### 3/5 — Buena… *2016-02-01, version 1.6.5* Entretenida, adictiva como lo son todas ### 5/5 — Hours of Fun *2015-12-03* This game will eat up time as you sit waiting in the Dr.'s office or any appointment. I play it while watching games on T V because it keeps me from biting my fingernails for my favorite team. The cards are bright and easy to read and I've been playing it for years! ### 5/5 — GREAT time filler. I love it *2015-10-10* I've been playing for years. I've experienced no hiccups or freezes like some other games. Even when I don't play for weeks; I'm never disappointed ### 5/5 — Spider solitaire *2015-09-15, version 1.7.2* Love this game. Best ever ### 3/5 — The graphics are great *2015-08-04, version 1.7.2* This game would be more fun if it gave you more winning hands I'll keep it until I find a better one ### 5/5 — Mrs. *2015-07-17, version 1.7.2* Great game!! ### 5/5 — Mr *2015-07-07, version 1.6.5* Excellent game, easy to play and I love the card movement assist, make it better to beat the timer. ### 5/5 — Time filler *2015-05-27, version 1.7.2* Excellent little app that fills the quiet times when there is not enough time to open a good book. ### 4/5 — Spyder solitaire *2015-05-26, version 1.7.2* Good game. Keeps me occupied when I have nothing to do. ### 5/5 — Free Spider Solitaire *2015-05-26, version 1.7.2* This game is amazing!

That's how I primarily make money and stay in business and pay for food etc. :) However, I also have paid versions of my games where you can pay $1 or $2 and play with no ads ever. For example, there's a paid version of Eric's Spider Solitaire for iPhone that you might like. If you need more help please feel free to email support@sniderware.com ### 1/5 — Hate the changes👿 *2017-08-25, version 1.8* Obviously, you changed the game to try to move us to other games with a cost. It's very mean spirited. Seems the horror of 45 has even reached you👿 ### 1/5 — 👎👎 *2015-02-26, version 1.6.5* Did not like at all. Before the app even began it closed on its own. Have to buy full version to play more than one suit. During first round app closed again... Don't waste your time ### 1/5 — Fraco *2012-09-27* Fraco ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2011-05-18, version 1.3* I didn't mind playing with one suit, but now the adds pop up every 30 seconds. It's impossible to play when adds pop up everytime I try to move!! ### 1/5 — I WON'T UPDATE *2011-04-24* I'm not installing the update because it will eliminate the 4 suit game which I love. Don't you get paid for ads? I'm willing to put up with the ads so you still get revenue from the free version - don't you? There are new high graphic free versions of spider in the app store every week. I guess if needed I'll delete this and go with someone else's 4 deck version. What were they thinking??? **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback –– Sorry about the unexpected change. In good nows, now the game has four Spider solitaire variations now. 1-suit, 2-suit, 4-suit and Spiderette. ### 1/5 — Updated version not good *2011-03-13, version 1.2* I played this game everyday (at least 2 games/ day) before the new update. Now the updated version has only 1 suit as standard and is no challenge. I wish I could revert back to the previous version. ### 1/5 — New version is rubbish *2011-03-10, version 1.2* They've just updated this which has completely ruined it. I used to find it challenging but they've reduced it from four suit solitaire to one because 'people found it too hard'. Isn't that the point? If you love spider solitaire don't bother with this rubbish ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Always come back to Eric’s *2026-04-29* I love this app! Even if I take a break from spider solitaire, I ALWAYS come back to Eric’s. I have the paid version. The aesthetic of this app is unmatched among the other spider solitaire games in the App Store. ### 5/5 — Spider solitaire *2019-09-24* Love it ### 5/5 — Review *2018-12-26, version 1.8.1* Love it! I like the challenge. ### 5/5 — Free n fun. *2018-12-20* Really relaxed way to spend some down time ### 5/5 — Review *2018-09-01* Play every day ### 5/5 — Spider solitaire *2018-04-06, version 1.8.1* I like everything about this version except distinguishing between the previous cards that can’t be moved and the new row that can be. If the bar between the two was darker or there was a difference in colour shade, it would be easier to distinguish between the two. ### 5/5 — Addictive *2018-02-09* Fun ### 5/5 — Spider Lite *2017-11-21* Great game! I enjoy untangling the cards, makes you use your brain. ### 5/5 — Awesome game!!! *2016-10-05, version 1.7.2* Very entertaining! Excellent game while killing time! Very challenging! Makes you think!!! ### 5/5 — Bel rompicapo! *2016-05-13, version 1.7.2* Bello, divertente, un buon passatempo, rilassante. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
