Updated to iOS 16 now menu button kicks me out Then I go back in returns to a previous play game **Developer response:** I'm checking back in to see if you were able to update to the latest version –– Thanks for your patience! This is fixed so please try again. If you need any help just email me at eric@sniderware.com ### 4/5 — 🤗 *2021-10-19, version 1.8.1* Two suit solitaire ### 3/5 — Spider solitaire *2021-07-24* I love this game. But beating a computer is just too hard. Sorry. I agree with previous review. You just can't win because the game does not play fair. It makes it impossible to win. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review. I promise that although Spider Solitaire is a difficult game it doesn't cheat or give unfair deals. It really is as random as is possible. I don't have any reason to make the game harder since I don't make more money doing that. Would you please try playing the 1-suit variation (you can choose on the Home screen of the game) because it's *much* easier than 4-suit Spider Solitaire. You also may really like the game "Eight Off" which is one of the variations in my "Eric's FreeCell Solitaire" game. ### 3/5 — Spider solitaire *2020-02-20* Love the new additional can Play IT on my iPhone but IT has stopped playing on my iPad and i can’t get IT to Play now!

Help !! ### 5/5 — Spider keeps the little grey cells working *2018-09-11* Spider is a quick mental cat nap anytime you need a break and need to rest your mind while working your problem solving skills ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hardest game *2025-10-02, version 1.9.1* This game is nearly impossible to win. ### 1/5 — Poor Quality *2024-07-06, version 1.9.1* CARDS SHAKE SO BAD I CANNOT PLAY!!! ALSO CARDS GROUP SO BAD I CANNOT GET THEM TO SEPARATE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE A SECTION OF A GROUP!!! THIS WAS A MAJOR RIP-OFF!!! ### 1/5 — Love to play, but it has developed a bug. *2022-03-06* Eric, please fix! iPhone must be restarted to close the game. Started a few months ago. **Developer response:** I'm checking back in to see if you were able to update to the latest version –– This is fixed now and was an issue in version 1.8.1. Please try again. If you need any help just email me at eric@sniderware.com ### 1/5 — Richard G *2012-11-15, version 1.5.3* This game is very good but the results of each winning game are disappointing as they reflect the same score every time. Which takes the challenge out of not. ### 1/5 — Single suit only *2012-11-13, version 1.5.3* What have you done to the speed? I used to love playing and having the cards just zoom across the screen at the slightest touch. Now I can fall asleep between taps. Please let me know how to play my favorite game again! ### 1/5 — Have to keep deleting app and reinstalling *2012-11-10, version 1.5.3* I used to love this app. But since the last update, the app is very unstable. Doesn't display correctly so much so that you can't see or access any menus and you have to delete the app and reinstall it just to get it to work again. However every time you close the app the same thing happens. So far I have had to delete and reinstall the app five times in two days :( ### 1/5 — Don't like the update, Eric *2012-11-09, version 1.5.3* Now numbers on the 'underneath' cards are too small to see easily. Why did you have to fix something that wasn't broken??? ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2011-12-16, version 1.4* Nice graphics and interface but the game is broken. It does not always allow you to move a column of cards over to create a series. Will be be a good game once this bug is fixed but for now, don't spend your money ### 2/5 — iPad *2026-01-24, version 1.9.1* No good on iPad with the latest iOS upgrade ### 2/5 — Not fun *2024-11-03* I played one game and I’m sorry I bought it. The game board doesn’t do a good job of covering the full iPad screen on landscape. The card bounce is exaggerated and annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Honey, You Shrunk My Cards *2022-12-31, version 1.9.1* 11/23/2022 I’ve played this game for many years & really love it (addicted actually). The recent update significantly reduced the size of the cards, which I had a bit of trouble seeing even before. I play on iPhone 7 in locked landscape mode. Please make the cards bigger again! I can’t see a reason to shrink them - the UI was perfect before yesterday. After spending so much time in your game I feel like I know you, so thanks for the fun times. UPDATE 12/31/2022 Thank you Eric, it looks awesome now & works great too! Fantastic job & thank you for responding to your fans. 😊 ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-08-30, version 1.8.1* Hours of strategic fun ### 5/5 — Spider solitaire *2021-10-29* “It’s changed my life, I’ll never be the same!”😜 ### 5/5 — Graham B *2021-09-23, version 1.8.1* Addictive. My record over 23000 games without losing over about 8 years. Go to game when waiting around at airports etc. ### 5/5 — Best Spider Solitaire *2021-01-01* So easy to use and I love the “undo” button. Cards move easily and fast. I never get tired of playing and I’m working on over 500 straight games that I’ve won. ### 5/5 — Great fun *2020-10-08, version 1.8.1* Have being doing this game for years and play it for hour after hour. Until my battery runs down. ### 5/5 — Excellent game. *2020-10-08, version 1.8.1* I have really enjoyed this Solitaire game - really pleased that I downloaded it. It keeps me company when I am away and playing it breaks any boredom that may occur. Thank you for creating it.. ### 5/5 — Mimi *2019-12-31* I love this game. I play almost everyday **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review and for making my game a part of your day. :) ### 5/5 — Best Spider *2019-12-30* This is the best Spider solitaire game I have found.
