I DO NOT WANT MUSIC. THERE IS NO WHERE IN SETTINGS TO TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!! ### 2/5 — Negatives *2026-03-20, version 3.6.40* I have two major issues with this app. The cards are extremely difficult to see, no matter the card settings, and the distracting shaded part of the screen at the bottom of the board cannot be hidden. There's inches of space to attempt to focus on the cards, and the annoying shaded part takes up 25% of the actual visible screen. ### 3/5 — The ads are ridiculous *2025-08-08, version 3.6.27* I don’t mind watching an ad every so often but not every time I want to start a new game! Also, why ask to update an app that is for an ad that I don’t want or even have🤬 Very frustrating! ### 2/5 — Review currently is not a game of spider solitaire. It is one continuous ad after the other .Awful, *2025-01-12, version 3.6.16* Been playing for several years. Good record keeping.no problems. ### 4/5 — Game closes on its own *2024-08-15, version 3.6.7* I’ve played this game for many years and never had any issues. But now it’s closing on its own right in the middle of a game. I tried powering my phone down, but that didn’t work. Next I did the upgrade. Nope. Finally I deleted the app altogether and downloaded anew. Still closing after about a minute of play. This is my favorite game, but I won’t play it if I have to reopen it every minute. ### 2/5 — Spider *2024-07-20, version 3.6.6* Trop de publicités qui bloquent le jeu Très énervant ### 3/5 — Screen goes black *2023-12-30, version 3.5.13* This was my favorite. Yes, ads are annoying! But…. In the last week or so, the screen goes black, does not refresh. I delete game to avoid any bugs, whatever. When I reload it, the same thing happens within 24 hours. What’ the problem, you guys?? ### 3/5 — Shame about the ads. *2023-12-02, version 3.5.12* Great app. Shame about the repetition of ads. Just so the developer knows - the preponderance of Revolut and Royal Match ads makes me want to NEVER EVER download those apps, EVER! I don’t understand why any developer would want to alienate their potential audience by bombarding them with way too many ads for their product. Just saying! ### 3/5 — To many ads! Good game. *2023-06-13, version 2.9.9* Ads between almost every game ### 3/5 — Annoying ads *2023-05-06, version 3.5.6* I’ve enjoyed this app for a long time, but it started having ads that blocked the function of the game. It’s so annoying! I refuse to pay to remove ads. ### 1/5 — Can’t play the game silently. *2023-03-07, version 3.5.4* Despite sound off, volume 0, games is playing some background thing, and some ads want to make noises as well. ### 2/5 — Background Music *2023-03-04, version 3.5.4* Are used to love this app. The last week it has started playing background music, and there is no way to shut it off. I tried to “report an issue“ and that screen is blank. I will play this sometimes late at night and cannot tolerate noise while I’m playing. All of my settings are set to “sound off” but that doesn’t seem to help. ### 3/5 — Suddenly Loud banging background noise! *2023-03-03, version 3.5.4* Suddenly a loud banging track plays while I’m playing. Not during an ad. Can’t turn it off. Have to close down the game and re-open. And the support goes to a blank page. ### 3/5 — Why am I getting music. *2023-03-02, version 3.5.4* I have played the game for years. Long ago I paid to be ad free. Suddenly I’m getting ridiculous and annoying music playing. What is that about? Get rid of it. AND you seem to think I should now pay money monthly to be ad free. What did I pay for before? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The ads are driving me crazy *2026-02-24, version 3.6.39* I didn't mind the ads placed at the top. The ads at he bottom were more of an issue, but this new pop-up every new game is over kill. I will NOT respond to,any ad that keeps annoying me! Please make ads less intrusive! ### 1/5 — Werbung missbräuchlich *2025-12-10, version 3.6.36* Man kommt aus der Werbung nicht raus nachdem man den aufgezwungenen Quatsch anschauen musste ### 1/5 — Unable to open *2025-06-13, version 3.6.24* The game crash too much ### 1/5 — Way too many ads now *2025-05-28, version 3.6.24* Used to love playing this but the ads have just got more and more annoying. They have got longer and longer and more frequent. Now you have a really long ad after every game. If that does not improve then it will be deleted. ### 1/5 — Super nervige Werbung *2025-04-11, version 3.6.20* Ich verstehe schon, dass Werbung notwendig ist wenn für eine App nichts bezahlt. In zwischen ist das aber nerventötend, Es dauert Minuten zwischen 2 Spiele, bis man die Werbung weg klicken kann. Nach fest kommt lose…Spiel habe ich gelöscht! Schade, ansonsten nicht schlecht ### 1/5 — More adds that now block you from playing the game! *2024-09-15, version 3.6.9* Have been playing this game for a few years and really enjoyed it. The adds started to get more frequent, longer and more annoying but I persevered….. until now! The latest adds pop up at the bottom of the screen and cover over the icons you may use whilst playing the game and you just can’t get rid of them! It stops you being able to play properly. They need to sort it out or this one’s getting deleted! ### 1/5 — Filled with ads and malware *2024-07-04, version 3.6.5* Beware. This app will run all kinds of stuff in the background. Free costs too much for this app ### 1/5 — Adds still too loud and no way to quiet them. *2024-02-08, version 3.5.15* I guess you don’t care. It ruins a perfectly good screen. ### 1/5 — Spider Solitare *2023-07-09, version 3.5.7* In the past, I enjoyed a quick game of Spider Solitare; however, it seems like the math setting up the game under went a radical change, which means little or no chance of “winning” because of frequent duplicate numbers and the omission of others needed to make a complete run. It has taken the fun out of what used to be a fun game. I thought the game had made a change in the algorithm because I won twice. Now it is back to three 8’s and three 1’s, making the game impossible to win and not fun. ### 1/5 — Review *2023-04-24, version 3.5.6* Too many advertisements ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love Spider *2025-11-12, version 3.6.34* Of course I hate the ads but I’m not one to spend money on a game app. My only other quibble is I’ve reached 3910 points, I have all the monthly backgrounds and there’s nothing left to spend points on. No biggie-I’ll keep playing because I’m addicted to spider solitaire ### 5/5 — Spider *2025-05-01, version 3.6.22* Love the game play it every night. Hate the ads ### 5/5 — GREAT! The daily challenges are just that! *2025-02-02, version 3.6.17* I’ve been playing for years both on my laptop and iPad but prefer the iPad version. I’m hooked, ### 5/5 — Cool *2024-12-22, version 3.6.15* Cool ### 5/5 — Spider *2024-12-22, version 3.6.15* Love the game play it every night. Hate the ads ### 5/5 — Very Addictive *2023-09-18, version 3.5.9* Once you get over the frustration of figuring out what you’re doing, you’re hooked and hours can pass before you know it! I’ve never experienced a glitch or problem when playing this game 👍🏼👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Spider Solitaire *2022-04-11, version 3.4.6* Please fix this .... Worked fine until update . Now only very jerky movement. NOT GOOD! Please fix this. Thanks Elizabeth ### 5/5 — Why mess with a good thing? *2020-10-02, version 3.2.9* Hate the new horizontal layout. I turn the pad sideways to have bigger cards, then you shrink them by putting the stack in the way! And the undo is on the opposite side now. Need to retrain my thumbs! ### 5/5 — Review *2020-08-17, version 3.2.8* I enjoy app, use at end of day to help relax before going to bed ### 5/5 — Beaut game *2020-06-08, version 3.2.6* Great app for a few minutes of down time. Nice n clear visually. Options for change of appearance. Options for difficulty levels. Easy to learn, but tricky enough for skilled players. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
