### 3/5 — Love this game

*2019-01-27, version 1.6.1*

I love this game, and I’ve played it for years.  I finally purchased the game to get rid of the ads.  The ONLY thing that I don’t like about this game and I wish they would change is a way to let you know how many cards you have left in that upper left hand pile.  I never know if I’m close to the end or not, and it’s always a surprise since I never remember to count how many deals have gone out.

### 1/5 — Obnoxious ads

*2018-01-29, version 1.6.1*

I have used this app for a long time to bring focus and peace to my fidgety mind. It was something to do while I contemplated bigger issues and I found it peaceful. But at some point they introduced very loud. Obnoxious ads that ruin my peace. Sadly, I'm deleting this app.

### 1/5 — cannot download properly

*2015-10-30, version 1.2*

With the new version, the cards do not download properly. Previously, this has been one of my favorite games, but with this version, it only shows 1/2 of each card, making it difficult to see.

### 5/5 — I hate the new card design.

*2015-09-22*

I've been playing Spider on my iPad for a couple of years and thoroughly enjoy it, but a few days ago the design of the cards changed and I really do not like it. So much so that I will not be playing again.
Please can we have an option to use Classic design.

### 1/5 — Crashes, consistently

*2012-12-22, version 1.0*

Program crashes -- sometimes phone too -- every time Menu is pressed in attempt to see the game rules. No support or contact info available yet.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2012-12-12, version 1.0*

This is one of the best and most beautiful spider solitaire games on the AppStore - Highly recommended. Great implementation for touch, fun to play and great to look at, really like that vintage look.
