Spider Solitaire: Card Game Wiki

For the first time I had trouble with the game. It hard crashed my iPad and the end result was that I had to reinstall. I lost two years of gold trophies. 😟 still love the game but I'm having difficulty with the upgraded game and find some changes irritating. For one thing, the highlighted and darkened cards in some of the game styles. I finally got it to more like the old version so I can enjoy it. Still annoyed that I lost all that history, but still playing and it's still the best. Casual, no pressure! I enjoy the game every time I play,even keeping up with the weekly challenges👌. I have had very few games which I enjoyed without getting annoyed and it's a real pleasure to have found this one. I can' spend cash in games but with this one I don' have to spend. The ads are inserted with little intrusion and my sessions leave me satisfied with the interlude. Thank you to the developers for a good looking, challenging yet fun game!

I started with cards and played solitaire and then discovered it on my phone. Spider solitaire was a natural progression. This is just a nice way to wake myself up in the am. I also read a book for pleasure and a bible and a informational book with my bible. I have around 8 different games on my phone. I don't do them every day except daily challenge solitaire, spider, and some other ones. The games take the place of commercials also. These things take the place of constant tv for me. They go with me to appointments also. The ads don't bother me because the game is free and you can get rid of them soon. You can also turn your wifi off in settings if they do mess with your game. That usually doesn't happen but you do have that option if you happen to get a bad game. No wifi...no ads... Id be miserable without my games or books to keep me company

Game will not open. This is the only app I am having trouble with. My Solitaire from same developer works fine. I have had no help on this problem. I have only received automatic responses to my emails. They said they will contract you within 48 hours but it’s almost a week now. I don’t want to delete because I will lose all my progress. I’m almost on level 4000. This is not the way to treat customers. !!!!!!!!! UDPATE THANK YOU BRIAN FOR HELPING ME FIX MY GAME. YOU WERE VERY NICE AND HELPFUL. I WAS HAPPY TO GET BACK MY LEVELS AND MY CROWNS. ALSO THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT THE PICTURES PROBLEM AND THAT IT WILL BE FIXED. I LOVE THIS GAME AND PLAY FOR HOURS AS IT IS RELAXING AND HELPS ME THROUGH THE ROUGH SPOTS IN THE DAY WITH MY BACK. IT TRULY DOES HELP AND I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DID. SO I HAVE RERATED THE GAME TO GIVE IT 5 STARS. WILL BE HAPPY WHEN I CANT USE MY PHOTO FOR BACKGROUND. AGAIN THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL GAME AND YOUR HELPFUL SUPPORT.

I sometimes get stuck on the transition from “Mobility Ware” to the game, and it just sits there for maybe a flat 20 seconds. Then, when you load up a game, you have to wait another 20 seconds before you can start moving cards around. Then, if you go to another app, or really you don’t even have to go to another app. If you double press the home button, then tap back on Spider Solitaire, it will still make you wait about 20 seconds before it lets you do anything DESPITE you maybe only being off the game for less than a single second. It’s annoying when you leave for a split second to reply to someone, then come back to the solitaire app, have to wait before you can do anything and by the time you can, your friend has already texted you back. Sometimes, if you’re gone from the app for more than a couple seconds, then the whole app restarts and you have to wait through the whole loading process again and everything. However, I haven’t found another solitaire format that I like more and this is the only game I found that works in portrait mode. Just get rid of the bugs!!! If other apps can be immediately responsive after returning to the app after a short second, then so can some simple card game.

I would give it 4.8 if I could. That point two percent is for the adds that I get audio for but no picture and no way to close them. When I start a new game I get the required add that you close after five seconds or so and then get on with the game. But after that first add I get random audio as if another add is playing but there is no picture and no way of closing out. I have updated the game, I have updated my phone, I have even turned my phone off, waited a few minutes, then turned it back on again and it is still doing it. I don’t know what to do. It is super annoying as I just have to sit there until the sound stops. I still play the game every day, I just usually end up turning my sound off because of the random noise I can’t stop. Developers, if there is something you can suggest to help me out that would be appreciated. I love this game and I hate that I have this glitch.

I’ve been playing this game for years! It is the only game on my phone. I play it constantly. It is a great stress reliever for me. I have played it for several hours straight during very stressful times or when I can’t sleep. However, the newest software updates are changing my feelings about it. The new video ads drive me crazy. They actually scared the crap out of me for the longest time during those late nights when I’m laying in bed late and can’t sleep. I would jump every time suddenly seeing people moving and up close in my face. And on occasion I’ve had the sound from a video randomly start playing during the middle of the game when my sound is turned off! It just did that twice in the last 5 minutes! That’s sure not helping me relax! I’m also having problems with it quitting on me in the middle of a game. Between the frustration over videos, it quitting on me multiple times per session and the sound playing without the videos while volume is off, it is no longer therapeutic. I am either frustrated or startled, defeating my purpose of playing this game. I don’t want to play anything else! Please help!

I have loved this game, I’m a paying customer, but I’m disappointed with the current update. Now the columns no longer shrink up when you tap a very long column; this makes it harder to work with the bottoms of the columns. I got into a situation yesterday where I was trying to move an entire column near the center of the screen. Each time I tried to grab the column, the iPhone pulled down its short “swipe down” screen, interfering with the game. I was never able to move that column, I had to give up on it. I never had that problem with the game prior to this update. Finally, the new design for the menu at the bottom of the screen takes up more space than it used to, which is not a good thing. I want to go back to the older version. I have always rated this game as five stars; now it drops to three stars. I hate “upgrades” that crow about the improvements but actually worsen the game. New themes are uninteresting if they come along with changes that worsen what used to be the best Spider in the App Store. Sarah

I would definitely give this fun game 5 stars until today.I’ve always loved playing spider solitaire with all the colorful backgrounds and fun card faces but today I wasn’t happy with the added “burst of color that spews out of the card when you line it up to match the same color in the card sequence” It’s very annoying to see it displayed on the screen each time you move the card or multiple cards to the matching color row of cards. I don’t know if I described it accurately but hopefully the developers will delete it from the game. This is only my opinion and I’m sure there are many players who might like the “burst of color that are red hearts and diamonds and black spades and clubs”. But, to me it’s an unnecessary addition to the game. I’ve recommended this game to my friends and family. It’s a fantastic game that challenges your cognitive thinking process. I apologize for being picky but the new addition really bothered me.

I understand the need for ads, and a popup between hands showing other games Mobility makes is FINE. I’d even be willing to check one out if it looked neat. Then the animated ads with sound started, and you HAVE to watch for a period of time before an X would appear to close them. This went even further, as ads would randomly put the X in different corners so you never know where to look, and even then sometimes the X would either not work at all, or clicking it would open the app store to the game. This is RIDICULOUS waiting 30+ seconds on ads you cannot close between every single hand. I play games like this to relax, and this BS is far from relaxing. A tip to help was put your phone/tablet in airplane mode actually brought those types of ads to a halt with only single-frame ads you can just close. Yay until a few months back, when this suddenly started causing problems with a hand being dealt. There’s LONG pause before anything at all happens, then a single-frame ad pops up where clicking the X greys it out, and another LONG pause before it closes. I’ve spent upwards of five minutes dealing with this trying to play ONE frickin hand. I’m done. I will never download another Mobility game.

I absolutely love this addictive game and play it very often. It helps me keep my mind alert and awake. The only complaint I have at all, is the fact that when I’m in a doctor’s office or I a waiting room where I want to play, but obviously want to be silent, I will put my phone on silent mode. However, even in silent mode, some of the loud ads somehow bypass my phone’s silent mode setting and are able to blast their ads at full volume, much to my embarrassment. All other games I have will silence ads and all noise when my phone is in silent mode, as it should be. One ad that offends me and always blasts is “Buffalo Inferno” and “Hearts of Vegas slots.” Although I’m still able to turn my volume down quickly, the point of silent mode is to not have to do that so unexpectedly! I wish the makers of the game would better screen their ads to not accept any that bypass the user’s phone settings! That’s manipulation and is extremely frustrating; so frustrating that I will definitely delete this Spider app if these types of ads continue, and will be forced to find another Spider app that does not hijack my phone settings! *If this practice stops, I will consider reloading this app.

Been playing over five years, on a few different devices. Just got a new Apple phone and had to start from scratch a couple weeks ago!! Major pain watching ad after ad trying to catch up with six weeks of missed goals!!! Horrible!! And NOW the past couple of weeks, I play Spider, Free Cell and traditional Solitaire, and I’m being interrupted in MIDPLAY while choosing my next play by an AD!!! Very random, but often enough it’s quite unsettling !! Being in the zone and getting T BONED by an obnoxious ad you’ve seen thirty times already in the past couple hours of play time. I’ve already tried to attach a screen shot but I can’t upload photos while the game is playing and it won’t let me copy and paste here. Perplexing to say the least. I understand the need for them, but now, since I can’t back out or Xout off the ad in mid game without losing it, I’ve guesstimated about 15-25 minutes of game play is sitting watching redundant ads I’m not interested in following up with!! I usually just shut off the phone or pick up an old Samsung one to continue play there, where, by the way, it doesn’t happen!!

*update June 2019. Now the pop up ads are very frequent and some are still hostage style hijacking the screen for up to 30 seconds. I won’t watch them. I shut it down. Buying the app (again) is not an option. The new format is basically only renting the app, having to make regular payments. Not going to happen. I gave 2 stars because I am still using the app in spite of the inconvenience of non stop adds, and greed of the new rental format. I like the game though I the integrity of the app owners is lacking. * update... new popup ads are now blocking the ap. There's no way to press the X to get rid of it!!!! Way to go Spider Solitaire. Just dropped to 1 star... disgusted... I've had this for quite a while and have dealt with the pop up ads. Now the extremely loud forced music of the dang pop ups have become horridly invasive. Those cause me to use this app less and less. I bought the app once;, then when I got a new device somehow my paid app was lost and this horrid version was left. I haven't wanted to buy it again...

the game is fine and everything but it really makes me mad that you have to continuously pay a subscription in order to not see an ad every 2 minutes. that’s absolutely ridiculous. i was willing to pay to remove the ads, but i’m not going to pay $2 a month, $24 a year, just to play a game of solitaire on my phone- that’s such a waste and it’s extremely unnecessary. I get that they need to make money, but it’s just too much. the amount of ads they force non-subscribers to watch + the people, like me, who would be willing to pay $2 ONE TIME is sufficient enough revenue for the creators not to require a $2 subscription plan. who gets a subscription plan to play SOLITAIRE. that’s so stupid. deleting the entire game now. they respond to people’s complaints about the ridiculous ads they show by saying they “rely on advertisement revenue to continue” creating good content, as if the game of solitaire is constantly changing and updating and needs hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep up with the times. the developers are losing that revenue because all of us are deleting the game because of the ads 🙄

I love this Spider Solitaire Game but am about to go to a different producer of it. I play probably over 50 games a day but I have about had it with the ads. It locks ads in without an x or close and I have to shut my IPad down to get the ad to go off. This past week I lost all my points, trophies, etc and had to delete it and start all over because the screen went a brownish color, not black, although it’s done that before when the ad was about to come on. I Tried everything to no avail including shutting it down and Playing other games and coming back to it. Finally after every effort gave up and deleted it. And I furious to have to start all over from the beginning a . You need to resolve this issue. If it happens again I will no longer play this game or your game of Mahjong. Well, I did as I threatened after more frustration from too many glitches and problems. Have deleted this Solitaire game and am now playing the”Blue” Spider game. Much less stressful and few ads. Much happier now. Miss some of your features but not worth the frustration. I bet you don’t print this part!!
