Spiderﾠ Solitaire

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!

Cards are small to read when in portrait phone position but when moving it to landscape they are so large you have to continually scroll up and down on the screen to see all the cards. I agree with other reviews that it’s kind of annoying that the help button will put the card on an opposite suite when a matching suite is available. The win ratio for medium or two decks is pretty bad. I don’t know why I have won much more on a different app but I have. But there are no ads. So there’s that.

I was tired of all the audio ads popping up in the middle of games on the ‘free spider solitaire’ apps so I paid for this one. Bad move for me - this app can’t even make the simplest of intuitive moves... when you tap on a card to move it, it should automatically go to the best matched card which would be of the SAME suit - but it doesn’t! It will attach the card you tapped to a different suit when there is at least one card of the same suit and sometimes more. This is a simple programming issue and should be fixed. I will be deleting this app - it’s nothing but maddening and frustrating.
