Spider ▻ Solitaire +

Still my fave

The Spider game is much more fun to play on OS than my computer since all spots don’t have to be filled to bring more cards down. It’s annoying that when you let the game move cards, it won’t use those without more cards under them plus it avoids those with kings underneath and puts them on queens instead.

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

This unfair game

I was pleased to pay about $5 to play this with no ads

This app provides a good brain challenge. While at times it can be frustrating, most of the time it sharpens mental skills necessary for organizing and recall as it rewards for patience. All good traits for going further down the Lane of Life. Can be A real confidence builder.

This is my favorite stand-bye game. Always challenging and doesn’t require WiFi. Love it!

Stop begging for a compliment

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.

Not a bad game if you don’t mind losing most of the time.
