### 2/5 — Two Stars only because it’s functional

*2026-05-31*

This is a paid app disguised as free, you will get one game before you are required to pay to play any more.

### 1/5 — Smh

*2026-05-24, version 2025.06.21*

This game sucks it keeps freezing on the settings before I could even start playing

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2026-05-03*

Simple, basic Spider game, but if you click on the ? for a hint, any time after the first the column stacks on itself in a funny way, and you can’t see or use the cards in that column.

### 2/5 — Too small

*2026-04-26, version 2025.06.21*

Very hard to visualize

### 2/5 — Works fine but I miss the deal

*2026-04-22*

I tried this because the others have changed and have too long ads

### 1/5 — Boring

*2026-04-12, version 2025.06.21*

Game is spider but there no excitement to the game no flashing lights no special tricks when you win

### 2/5 — Regret buying

*2026-03-29, version 2025.06.21*

The design is very poor.  Very hard to read and differentiate the cards.  Gives me a headache.

### 5/5 — Perseverance pays

*2026-03-07*

I looked at this app and was going to move on when I received a discounted offer on the page. I bit, and I’m glad I did. I’m 70 years old and disabled and I have to work at these puzzles but often I solve them. Sometimes, I have to use the back key but that’s not cheating if your goal is brain health, right? Thanks, Crawbuck!

### 5/5 — Great!  No ads!

*2026-02-10*

Other spider solitaire applications can keep you in an endless loop of ads.
No “x” to kill the ad and start the game.

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2026-02-10, version 2025.06.21*

First game no ads, then needed unlock
