### 2/5 — Update is BAD!!!

*2026-09-01, version 7.8.4*

The banner at the bottom is in the way of playing the game. I’ve been playing this game for twenty years to help shutdown my brain. Your update makes it hard to play.

### 2/5 — Ads are out of control

*2026-08-30, version 7.8.3*

A while back, Mobility Ware said ads could be closed after 5 seconds. Now, with multiple screens to close, various prompts that don’t mention closing, tiny text and symbols, and unwanted browser windows or the app store opening, perhaps these games are just not worth it.

### 4/5 — Interruptions

*2026-08-28, version 7.8.3*

Too many of them.

### 2/5 — Too Many Ads

*2026-08-28, version 7.8.3*

This was a fun game when first down loaded, but now you spend half your time watching dump ads. Will look for another game and delete this one.

### 4/5 — Top Game 👍🏼

*2026-08-26, version 7.8.3*

Keeps the grey matter going 👍🏼👍🏼

### 3/5 — More commercials than before.

*2026-08-25, version 7.8.3*

I understand the need for commercials but lately it’s way too much. I’m looking for something else.

### 1/5 — ADS ADS AND MORE ADS

*2026-08-19, version 7.8.3*

There’s way too many ads and it’s to the point where it’s no longer enjoyable. Events are fine, but there’s one specific type of even that you have to have WiFi on in order to complete, especially complete quickly. Something will be blocking your path, usually a cartoony spider. You can either wait 12 hours or watch an unskippable ad to clear it immediately. But there’s an ad after every single game. Not an ad after every few game. Every. Single. Game. Not fun. And I thought “I could pay a one time fee to get rid of the ads” sorry my friend. IT IS A STUPID SUBSCRIPTION. So you either have to be okay with the constant ads or pay a subscription to play without interruptions. And the game cannot be relaxing, because that is behind a paywall. No thank you…

### 1/5 — STOP with the ads assault!

*2026-08-19, version 7.8.3*

WHAT were they thinking by adding video ads every 3 moves?!? I absolutely will be permanently deleting this app
if they do not quickly correct course. It was a 5-star super enjoyable go-to app for years, but I’m deleting at this rate!  As you’re contemplating strategy and your next move, you get interrupted constantly. No longer enjoyable.

### 2/5 — Ads that won’t close

*2026-08-18, version 7.8.3*

You have several ads that refuse to close no matter what I do. The only way to close them is to turn off my phone. Blood pressure monitor is a perfect example. Even after I say I’m not interested, it won’t close.

### 5/5 — Good time waister

*2026-08-17, version 7.8.3*

It’s great to be able to play a game that’s fun. It takes up time when you’re waiting for something.

### 1/5 — Horrible pop up ads

*2026-09-01, version 7.8.4*

Loved this game until now.  Who thought it was a good idea to have a zillion ads pop up in the middle of the game?  I can't stand it now.  Looking for another Solitaire.

### 1/5 — Used to work on Mac; new version just crashes on launch

*2026-09-01, version 7.8.4*

Up until I updated the app a day ago, I loved playing Spider on my MacBook Pro. The new version, however, just crashes upon launch. I hope this gets fixed soon.

UPDATE 8/31/2026: New version just released. Still broken on the Mac.

### 1/5 — More ads than play time

*2026-08-31, version 7.8.3*

I really like this fast paced card game, however the ti e to get through ads in between games has exceeded the time it takes to play a game. 5-9 clicks with annoying music is too much. You guys have gotten greedy and I’m uninstalling your apps

### 1/5 — Ads hate so I deleted ap

*2026-08-30, version 7.8.3*

If no ads I’d keep the game but since game hell no, bye bye no game is worth ads or worth to pay ad free. I won’t reach out if any response says they changed it to ad free like other games I play sure I’ll add it again

### 1/5 — Ads as long as games

*2026-08-29, version 7.8.3*

The ads are SO annoying. I shouldn’t have to watch an ad that you have to click through and the ads take as long as it takes to play one game of spider. 50% playing and 50% dealing with ads is not worth it!

### 1/5 — Bad Support

*2026-08-28, version 7.8.3*

I reported a problem 3 revision updates ago in that there is no longer a message to what your playing goal was, which I got a reply to say it would be looked into, now 3 newer version, it’s still not fixed however the product has got worst now, in the startup display, the screen will go blank for 5 secs and now when playing the game there is no longer a line at the top to tell you what the date and time is or what your battery life is, so while playing and you don’t know, the iPad will switch off .Not clever

### 1/5 — Dangerous advertising

*2026-08-25, version 7.8.3*

Just saw an ad denying dementia, claiming memory loss is caused by toxins. Wtaf? The makers of this game are trying to KILL PEOPLE!

### 1/5 — Ads popup, break it

*2026-08-23, version 7.8.3*

Used to be a fun game. Now ads pop up insistently, breaking train of thought and make it unplayable. One star.

### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADS

*2026-08-23, version 7.8.3*

THE POP UP VIDEOS CONSTANTLY INTERRUPT GAME PLAY. IT’S NOT EVEN FUN ANYMORE. GREEDY!!

### 1/5 — E

*2026-08-19, version 7.8.3*

I have loved the game for years. I hate commercials, but getting them in between games, I’m ok with. But these 3 second pop ups for every card I move is too much. Sometimes 2-3 in a row. Do not like it and may look for another game.

Spider Solitaire and tea is the only way to start my day, everyday.

### 5/5 — Ms.pinky 10

*2026-08-24, version 7.8.3*

I’ve been playing this game for a long time and all of a sudden my game won’t load. It sounds like it has loaded but it did not. The screen is dark as if the light has dimmed. I need to get back to playing my game….help! I got it fixed now!

### 5/5 — Spider solitaire

*2026-08-18, version 7.8.3*

My very favourite game on the net, only problem it makes me waste lots of time.
