### 2/5 — Ad

*2026-08-23, version 1.7.41*

Would be nice to play a full game without ads in the middle of the game. Come on I’ll take ads just not in the game play

### 3/5 — Locking up more often

*2026-06-22, version 1.7.41*

Locking up more and more often. What’s up?!?! Tired of reloading the app. Not tolerable much longer.

### 3/5 — Ads that will not EVER x out

*2026-05-28, version 1.7.41*

I know and expect ads, I tried doing a note to support, these ads come up and you can not get rid of them.  I had to try to even turn off this iPad to get rid of it, I click on new game and there is the ad again!  Can not play!  What is the deal, this is the only game I play!  Please fix it.  I have screenshots of them, can find no place to attach them.  Thanks!

### 3/5 — Blocking Ads & Freezes

*2026-05-03, version 1.7.41*

The game freezes, especially in landscape mode, often. At first it was every 2-3 games. Now it’s multiple times in every game. And the pop up ads block the game and can’t be closed. Looking for alternatives.

### 3/5 — Blocking Ads & Freezes

*2026-04-11, version 1.7.41*

The game freezes, especially in landscape mode, often. At least once every 2-3 games. And the pop up ads block the game and can’t be closed. Looking for alternatives.

### 4/5 — Spider solitaire

*2026-04-10, version 1.7.41*

Seems that the same game keeps popping up after I have played it. New game starts but it’s in the same configuration as the last game. This has been happening a lot

### 2/5 — A lot of dishonest advertising

*2026-03-29, version 1.7.41*

In principle it is a great game, however, by accepting dishonest advertising in its games, Brainium also acts dishonestly. It is acceptable that there is advertising on the platform, but it is unacceptable to use advertising that does not end while the user does not interact with obscure links existing on the screen that lead him to other destinations outside the game environment. Unfortunately, this has become standard in APPs at Apple and makes the use or download of applications uninteresting.

### 2/5 — The game is annoying

*2026-03-22, version 1.7.41*

Can you move the undo button away from the hint button?  Simple fix.

### 3/5 — Mad

*2026-03-17, version 1.7.41*

I love this game! However latest updates have pop up adds that cover the game! This is frustrating! Considering deleting!

### 1/5 — Was a nice game

*2026-03-15, version 1.7.41*

I appreciate we need add, but the game is fixed so that you can play a little and then have to start again and see more add, this has been slowly increased. But now we have adds half way through the game , this ruins the game experience , so I have deleted the game and will look elsewhere

### 2/5 — Pop up google ads

*2026-03-15, version 1.7.41*

Pop up google ads spoiling the game, taking up the whole screen during game play. Fine between games, but during?? Have had this game along time and these ads are betting worse.

### 1/5 — Ads lock screen, require hard boot

*2026-08-09, version 1.7.41*

Don’t install this app! I’ve played it for years and enjoyed it but I’m deleting it today. When I click “New Game” the app goes into an ad for some mah jong game, won’t stop and won’t let me swipe or tap my screen to get back to my home page. I can’t even call up my control center. Only a hard shut down stops this. I’m not having any app that takes over my phone. There’s no telling what it is doing in the background while I’m locked out.

### 1/5 — Will not load

*2026-07-30, version 1.7.41*

I have had this for years and not working

### 1/5 — too many vendors

*2026-06-24, version 1.7.41*

i tried to removed all the vendors you give access to and there were too many it was taking too long to remove them. you should have a do not accept any suggestions but noooooo! so i gave up and deleting the whole game.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2026-06-01, version 1.7.41*

Another Brainium app that broadcasts more ad times than time spent playing the game. Some ads never stop. Totally unplayable.

### 1/5 — Great Game But Ads Make it Unplayable

*2026-05-18, version 1.7.41*

The game used to be great! But lately it will open ads that are literally impossible to close. The ads either don’t have an “X” (even after waiting for a while to see if it shows up, and tapping the corners where the “X” usually should be also doesn’t work) or they’re the interactive type that get you to play the game and the interactive ad never closes and never has the option to close. It just keeps going until it freezes and then refreshing the app just opens another ad. Usually I don’t care about ads because it’s a free game, but I quite literally CANNOT PLAY THE GAME.

### 1/5 — Can’t get out of ads

*2026-05-13, version 1.7.41*

Ads every few games. And you can’t get out of the ads. What a waste.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-04-28, version 1.7.41*

I like the game but it is enoying and almost insulting to have see the same game ads after every game. Stupid too. I will just quit playing if it continues.

### 1/5 — Malware redirect

*2026-04-15, version 1.7.41*

While playing, my browser opened up with a malware alert redirect. Don’t support an app that does this.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-03-31, version 1.7.41*

Loaded with ads that you can’t get out of

### 1/5 — I know it’s free but….

*2026-03-15, version 1.7.41*

I liked this game.  I could cope with the ads in between the games, and the recently added banner at the top as the price to pay for the game, although the royal match games are really annoying and long.  However, now there is an iPhone ad that is popping up in the middle of the game, obscuring the cards and staying there for ages.  If there was ever an incentive to stop playing this game, I think this is it.  Getting additional revenue from ads that actually stop people from playing the game is a bit counterproductive, is it not?

### 5/5 — DAVIDICUS

.great entertainment during long  journeys

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2026-08-05, version 1.7.41*

The game is very well made — great graphics, intuitive interface.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-07-21, version 1.7.41*

I like the fact that you can keep adding points. It’s always a challenge and if you’re having difficulty you can skip the game. Please don’t get rid of this version. I have tried others and I don’t like them too hard to play the next game on those.

### 5/5 — Cyndi

*2026-07-01, version 1.7.41*

Out of all the spider card games available I enjoy this the most.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-06-03, version 1.7.41*

It’s a very fun game you should download it ASAP

### 5/5 — Passing time

*2026-05-23, version 1.7.41*

Challenges me to think and very enjoyable

### 5/5 — Always return

*2026-04-27, version 1.7.41*

I get distracted and play other games but I always, always come back to Spider.

### 5/5 — Great Solitaire Game

*2026-04-07, version 1.7.41*

Great version of solitaire.  Many options and difficulty levels.  I sometimes play 2 suits or the very difficult 4 suits. Which, by the way I still haven’t won.  But I gotta admit when I want to just relax I play the easy single suit level. I find this to be a very enjoyable game.

### 5/5 — Opens spam windows

*2026-03-22, version 1.7.41*

Game play is smooth and usually nice but lately it has been randomly opening a browser tab, used to be once a week and I could overlook but just happened 3 times in 30 seconds. Shady!

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-03-06, version 1.7.41*

I have been playing this game for 30 years and it is still my go to game.  I wish it would hold your score when putting on a new device that is my only gripe as i starting again every time.  But it’s my comfort blanket!❤️❤️❤️
