⋆Spider Solitaire: Card Games 12+

I have been using the free version since 2012. I have never found the ads a problem. You get one or two brief ones between games but during the game there are none. I only play 4 suit Spider so most of my games last 30 minutes or longer with no ads during this time. I play on an IPad usually in portrait mode and have no problem seeing which cards are in the columns. I am on my third iPad since using this app and each time my game history and stats have smoothly transferred to the new device.

It is not a perfect Spider app, but I don’t know of any that are. To bring it closer to perfection I would like to see Statistics for games won in a row at 4 suit difficulty kept separately from one and two suit deals. I would also like to see cumulative scores for 4 suit deals kept separately from the easier play modes.

Overall, I love Brainium’s Spider app best of all the one’s available for iPad. I have tried most of the popular Spider apps in the App Store but keep coming back to this one and deleting the others.

Thank you so much for the thorough review and for playing Spider Solitaire, Taggamer!
We'll share your feedback with our team for further consideration. 🙂

I bought Spider Solitaire years ago (I believe for about $10) to be free of ads. Recently, the app updated itself and after several games today, it froze. Closing and reopening the app didn’t work, so I deleted it and reloaded the same app I had bought from the cloud. It works, but now I’m getting ads and to get rid of them, I have to pay another $12 for something I had already paid for. I enjoy playing Spider and in the great scheme of things, it’s not a lot of money. However, it feels like a cheat, and who knows when the same thing will happen again? So, guess I won’t be playing Spider anymore on my iPad. Oh, well.

UPDATE: The developers responded and pointed me to the correct version to download. That will teach me to scroll down through all the versions instead of just clicking on the first one in the cloud (duh). Thanks for the help! Love the game and glad I can continue playing without ads.

Thank you for contacting us about this! It sounds like you're accidentally using the free version. If you search your iPhone/iPad for “Spider Solitaire” you will likely see two icons, one with a gold border (the paid version) and one without. Delete the one without a gold border and you'll be good to go!

After receiving a developer response, I'm updating my rating from 2 stars to 1. Firstly, the top horizontal row is so far down the screen that once you build vertical rows, everything gets smushed so you can no longer see what's at the top. Also, there is an "undo" button, but no "redo" button. But worst of all, the game kept glitching, freezing, and crashing. So I contacted support. After following their exact advice, I lost all of my scores, achievements, and settings. Down the drain. Don't waste your time. They keep claiming my info is saved via the game center and I am able to see some things in the scores screen, but everything else (the settings, stats, etc.) is gone. After reinstalling the app, it continued glitching and crashing. The only complaint they seem to want to respond to is the lost information. They haven't updated this app in over a year and have no interest in understanding this bug or fixing it.

My advice is - try the Spider Solitaire app by "FingerArts: Thousands of Free Games" because they have a superior layout. The clock doesn't begin counting down until you make your first move, and the entire format and appearance is far easier on the eyes. The cards are dealt at a much faster speed, saving time as well.

Hi Ktgilead- Your Scores, Achievements, and Best Times are tied to your Apple Game Center account. They are saved there, even if you delete and reinstall the app. We do not alter or remove reviews, ever. Apple does not allow developers to do so, making it impossible even apart from our own standards.
