Bug fixes and app improvements
This version of Spider Solitaire is exactly what a classic mobile card game ought to be. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel with unnecessary mechanics; instead, it focuses on perfecting the user experience. The touch responsiveness is flawless, cards snap to positions organically, and the visual clarity makes playing on smaller phone screens just as comfortable as playing on a large tablet.
I highly appreciate the range of difficulties. Jumping into a 4-Suit game provides a genuinely intense mental puzzle that requires plotting moves several steps ahead, while the 1-Suit mode remains perfect for a mindless wind-down session. With its rich assortment of daily achievements and clean design, it has easily secured a permanent home on my device as my go-to choice for solo card gaming.
Adjustable difficulties featuring 1, 2, or 4 card suits
Unique Daily Challenges that reward collectable trophies
Gorgeous custom backings and table themes to choose from
Infinite smart undo hints and auto-save progression functionality
The golden rule of Spider Solitaire is to prioritize creating empty columns as early as possible. An empty slot gives you the critical maneuvering room needed to untangle mixed suits and build clean, single-suit sequences.
Move cards smoothly across ten columns via responsive tap or drag controls. Utilize the stockpile when you run out of moves, and tap the 'Undo' button freely to test out alternate tactical approaches.
The app includes options for 'Winning Deals' which guarantees at least one verified solution exists, alongside traditional random shuffling.
I have become addicted to winning the expert (4 suite) games! It is even more challenging to realize that (in all probability) every game is able to be solved. (So far, I've solved over 40 in a row - I just keep at it until I solve it.) I used to wish that each game had a number assigned to it, so I could review it, and still think it would be cool so that your friends could work on the same game, but using the back button doesn't sign you out, so you can work on the same game until you solve it. AND YOU CAN!!!!! I just solved one that I gave up on but would return to periodically. It’s been almost two years! I’d return and work it a few times. Left it alone for almost a year, but I just solved it! Now, more than ever, I’d like to be able to review the moves... I am writing this a few months later, having had my phone stolen. I lost the consecutive proof of my winnings, but I have just solved the first expert game that not one card in the opening row was solvable! I have managed to solve each of over a hundred games now. This has made it challenging enough that i continue to go back, but am still able to set it down and work at it in my spare time. Before this, I would get lost for hours! I sometimes still do, but having to figure out different ways to try to play the same game in order to win it before going on to the next one, gives me motivation to set it down more easily. A real winner, and easily worth the minor cost for the "pro" version, so as not to end up with annoying adds!
Spider Extraordinaire I became a Spider enthusiast some years ago; it’s the one and only computer game I like. It’s fantastic at keeping my mind sharp, making me develop strategies, delighting my mental creativity the way chess does. When my laptop died and I finally bought an iPad, I had to get an app for it. I checked several versions, having played several versions on several computers and become aware of the important differences among them, such as the awful inability on some to un-do past a deal or past sending a set home. This version allows both of those capacities. Fortunately, it also allows me to turn those awful noises like canned applause and little beeps off. And I also appreciate an inexpensive upgrade to get rid of the ads. Amazingly, it has a three-suit level: four sets of spades, two of hearts and two of diamonds, giving me a level in between my regular two-suit and my rarely attempted four-suit challenge. This is a fantastic plus. The only thing I miss is the re-do button. I used to un-do by clicking the back arrow back until I had an empty stack, maybe all the way back to the previous deal, and then re-do with the forward button until I saw a good alternative to a moves I had made. Sometimes on a particularly interesting game, I would un-do all the way to the beginning and then re-do forward until I saw an option that I had not seen the first time. I really miss being able to do that on this version, but that’s its only fault. Thank you, designer of this; just please give us a forward arrow in the next upgrade.
It is not only a game, it is a Challenge, a lesson for daily living when faced with problems. I love the hard puzzles, and I know with some effort all are solvable. I like the bold level because they are more relaxing than the expert mode, and Some are doable in a few minutes when you have the luck of moving the cards into the "right" pile. To date I have played 2800 in a row, some have needed hours but all in fun since the app's graphics and ease of play is the best out there.
It’s a great game and I love being able to play without any ads. I couldn’t give it 5 stars though because there are too many games that are nearly impossible to win, and when you get a number of them in a row, it gets discouraging, and I don’t like to give up. On the other hand, I only play on the bold or expert levels, which are supposed to be harder. I don’t have any games with ads or in-apt purchases. I’d rather play without frequent interruptions in my playtime, so would rather pay. Games like this are just hard to find because the majority tends to offer only games with bothersome ads. I love this game.
This is by far the best. I love the unlimited levels, the leaderboards, and most of all, keeping track of my statistics. I have been playing this app for several year and I can tell you exactly how many hours, minutes and seconds that I have played, how many wins, best scores on each level, best score by day, week, or month. It was even better when I discovered that each game is winnable. If stuck, I undo back to beginning and start again. You are penalized for time but not number of moves. The only improvement I would make is a restart button so I don't have to undo to beginning.
This app has everything - automove, autofinish (if you want it), lots of different levels of hardness, an unlimited number of games at every level of hardness, customizable cards (front and back) and background. I didn't go wrong when I transitioned to this from another Spider Solitaire that had only 1,000 expert level games. After that, I had to replay the same 1,000 games. That limit doesn't exist in this app. I couldn't recommend it more highly.
I've been playing lot of different solitaire games for years till few years ago I started with this one I love it the easiest game to figure out , always works no matter where u are wifi or not... nice and clear screens ❤❤❤ not only the spider but all their games are very good I really love it 😍 and I don't think I would ever get tired of it specially now that I got the no advertisements version 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️ Try it you won't regret 😊
I uses an iPad to play spider solitaire. Oftentimes I accidentally touch the back icon in the lower left corner of the gams screen. This cause everything to close and I have to then press the resume icon from the menu. It would be helpful to move the back icon to the upper left corner so that one does not accidentally touch the back button where it currently resides on the iPad screen. Thanks, Charles
