⋆Spider Solitaire: Card Games

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.

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.

There are a couple things that I would like to see in the game and then I’d love to give it 5 stars. 1) undo button on the main screen just discretely in the corner. It can be used so often it would be way easier if it was discretely in the corner and not on a pop up menu bar. 2) I had no idea really what the difference was between spider and spiderette till I played it. It appears it’s 8 decks and 4 decks. 3) I’d really like to see different stats for spider than spiderette. Because obviously I’ll have less moves and shorter time when I have half the amount of cards. Other than that I really like the game... ads are minimal and very short. Sometimes there aren’t even ones on the screen while you’re playing. It’s nice to keep those distractions away. In a perfect world I would like to see one app with lots of classic card games all in one. I’ve seen one like that but too much other goals and daily check ins and what I call fluff. I don’t want fluff. EDIT: been playing for so long now I love it. Above review still stands. But another thing I’d like to see is more customizing. I assume since the spider and sliderette share the same stats then 1 suit 2 suit and 4 suit do too. I’d really love to play the harder versions but I have a perfect score so far. Win % is 100%. I just play over and over till I win. Please have different stats per game. Ok that’s it. Still give it 5 stars. Mostly because there isn’t fluff. Like daily check-in’s and goals and coins to earn and other weird stuff. Just cards. Only idea I have would be to have different backgrounds. Not just different colors. But pictures. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ok thx that’s it!
