Spider Solitaire MobilityWare for Negative User Reviews

✓ One feature that ruins the whole appWhen you get to the end of a game, the game now asks you if you want it to show you how to beat the deal. This is by far the most annoying aspect of the game. It didn’t use to harass you with this feature. When you got stuck on a game before you just hit back and tried again. I have played this game for years now and absolutely hate this new pop up. For two reasons. One, I don’t need it to show me how to beat it and two, if I did allow it to show me, it counts as a loss. I’ve beat over 1000 deals in a row and don’t need this feature, I might accidentally click ok on, to kill my streak. Please add an option to turn this off and I will be glad to write a new review..JamappVersion: 5.1.1

✓ Latest update ruined the funThe last several updates introduced various animations that detracted from the game, but were mostly just annoying. But this last version is outright horribly ridiculous with wasted additions and annoyances. You are forced to achieve the next level which seems to have no affect on the difficulty or other influences on the games. The developer acknowledges that the levels add nothing more than to provide a sense of achievement. Then you are forced to select a gender. This also seems to have no affect on the difficulty or other influences on the games. This to, the developer acknowledges, does nothing to the difficulty or randomness of the deals. There are several others. If you haven’t updated, don’t!.Ejsmith41Version: 5.1.1

✓ Version 5.0.0 Ruined this game for meI've paid for and played this game for a long time multiple times daily on my iPad. With the new version, the full card faces were changed and they are much harder to differentiate. Sure, they're pretty, but they have made the game unplayable for me because it requires too much refocusing of the eyes. The animations (which you can minimize, but not eradicate) are annoying and distracting. If there were a way to go back to the previous version I would certainly do it. As it stands, I'll have to search for a replacement Spider Solitaire app, which makes me very sad..Mme.glitchbaneVersion: 5.0.0

✓ Spider solitaire used to be good.You can’t ever get a high score anymore and the scoring system makes no sense. Put it back the way it was..Dorie AVersion: 5.0.1

✓ Have loved but...Have loved Spider for ages, always great to pass the time. Probably my most used App. But even though I’m using the paid for version, they are still selling every scrap of my personal information to their “partners” whose core business is to exploit personal information to sell advertising. Don’t tell me my privacy is important to you..SkymanBillVersion: 5.1.1

✓ Bobk1953Too many adds.Bobk1953Version: 5.6.0

✓ App Update is killing battery lifeLoved this app until the last update. Now my battery is used up so quickly when I use the app. Have to find something else to use.Aagg2345Version: 5.0.1

✓ Constant interface problems on iPadFrustrating.JabaVersion: 5.0.1

✓ EffectsI find all the new effects really annoying. Is your demographic the people who enjoy effects? I’ve got rid of all of the except the annoying puff whenever a card connects with a good match. How do I turn this off?.GdgrhfhgyVersion: 5.1.1

✓ Latest update is the final strawDumping Spider Solitaire after years. Pathetic cloudbursts and idiotic games within games a la Candy Crush. I don’t need or want to have a ‘name’ which is being imposed on me - Lord or Lady Whatever. So that’s it Spider Solitaire. I’m gone..Ned0;xyzVersion: 5.1.1

✓ Très bon jeu, manque de statistiquesTrès agréable à jouer mais manque de statistiques genre les dix meilleures parties, les dix dernières....RefalVersion: 5.0.1

✓ Excellent but…It is an excellent game but too many Adds! Having to pay over 6$ per month to get rid of the adds for a simple game like this is very very bad. I am too polite to use other words..J. CauvierVersion: 5.6.0

✓ Hardly random!Random number generator is not well set up hence cards are not truely random otherwise a rainy day fill in if you can be bothered..Seanav8aVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Great !!!!Brilliant way to kill time between coats in the spray booth.Bill9BVersion: 2.1.1

✓ Get rid of the silly stuffSee above.PpointerVersion: 5.6.0

✓ SadI bought this one because I played the free version so often but got tired of the ads but I’m half tempted to go back to the free version and just deal with the ads. This version doesn’t let you change card font and the current font annoys the crap out of my eyes and does not darken the cards when a card out of order is at the bottom and the style of the cards makes it difficult to read. I’m upset that I paid $5 for this version when the free version is better but you just have to deal with ads. this one hasn’t been updated since 2016 and the free version has been updated. Shouldn’t this one also be updated because hello I’m over here paying money to play this one..Kpaigex3Version: 3.2.1

✓ Paid for app but still getting adsI paid for the game but I still have to deal with ads and constant nagging to pay for other games. Stay away..Unhappy709Version: 5.1.1

✓ Review of changes to spiderI find the shadowing of the numbers very confusing rather than helpful..MuuyoVersion: 5.0.1

✓ Latest update is hellish!!The latest update has given us an irritating burst of hearts each time we move a card over that fits the sequence. PLEASE remove this ASAP!!! It is distracting to say the least. Considering how many cards you need to line up in each game, I can’t bear to think how many times per game one has to go through this puff of what looks like smoke every time there is a match but is really hearts or something exploding like fireworks. You need concentration to play Spider and I prefer to concentrate. I can’t believe what you have done!! One matching card is no cause for celebration as there is a LONNGG way to go to finish a game. I cannot bear to play it with multiple distractions every second. AAARRGGGHH!!.HopefulAsEverVersion: 5.1.0

✓ Daily Challenge Top Scores - Really??So the daily challenge is really addicting. At the end of the game it shows your score/stats: time and number of moves to win. To have something to compared your score to they also show the best score of the day as well as a leader board. All well and good unless you really look at these scores to see how unrealistic they are. For example, the best score today was 107 moves in 30 seconds - roughly 4 moves per second with zero errors. Personally, I am not interested in competing with an AI. It would be better to compare agains my personal best..Jimb56Version: 3.2.1

✓ Freezes repeatedly with iPhone XS and iOS 12This has been one of my favorite games by far, and it worked perfectly on my iPhone 6. It was well worth the $4.99 price. I’ve now upgraded to an iPhone XS, with iOS 12, and no matter what I do, the app repeatedly freezes at random. I contacted Mobility Ware, and they recommended a number of things to try, including reinstalling the app, shutting down my phone, etc. The app will work perfectly for a short time, then freezes all of a sudden, especially in landscape mode. Unfortunately, the cards in portrait mode are too small for me to see, so the app is useless to me. It was a great app with iPhone 6, but it apparently no longer works with newer iPhone models. So disappointing..These cant all bevtakenVersion: 5.0.1

✓ Improved? (Now updated and not quite so) Wrecked!Apparently my “gameplay experience” has been “improved”. No it hasn’t: it’s been wrecked. The way the cards turn over and a completed run is moved to the side leave me feeling motion sick, the cards played in the latest deal are annoyingly highlighted - that doesn’t happen with a real physical pack of cards, so why do it? I understand there may have been a need to re-write from the bottom-up to keep pace with technology, but, as others have said, could we at least have the option for a “classic view”? I’ve played this pretty much daily for several years ... but with the now distracting animations probably not for much longer. 15th November: Thank you for listening and the update that addresses the distracting animations, and provides the option to turn off the highlighting. It’s now pretty much back to what it was..Karen181Version: 5.0.1

✓ Updates Are Horrible!! 👎🏽🙅🏽‍♀️I’ve been playing this games since 2012 and it’s been my go to for relaxation. However, the recent updates are the worst. The cards are moving sooo slow. And it seems as if the games is playing in the middle of the screen. How can I move the cards back up? Is there a way to move the time and score back down to the bottom? It also seems like the cards are smaller. I understand you have to update things in the background to ensure it’s compatible with the latest software... but DON’T change the appearance. Customers weren’t complaining... Now it’s ruined.... and I won’t be playing this game again..MarandaleeVersion: 5.0.1

✓ It’s not ad freeI paid for this so I’d have no ads, but I get your ads. Also, it’ll make suggestion about changing the colour etc, then put up a button that says “awesome,” No, it’s not, give me a choice of what words I can use, like “dismiss” “don’t show again” or even, “I’m not interested” stop spamming me, I only use spider solitaire for peace & calmness, I don’t want you “upselling” or annoying me. Stop asking me to contact you to resolve something when I write a review. Read it AND act. I DON’T want a ranking or to be told I’m some name. Go away, I play the game, it finishes, then I play again. Put a “Don’t ask again” button on the game and leave alone..One of the silent majority.Version: 5.6.0

✓ Messed up home screen in new versionI love this game and play it daily. But the home screen is not as good - what happened to showing both the Hint icon and your current time and number of cards played? Now I have to swipe up to see my score while playing? Silly. Please change that back. And the "golden shadowed" letters of "you won" is a childish font and takes too much time to display. Why improve the performance and then have us sit through that? Either make it faster or take it away please..Friday night moviesVersion: 5.0.1

✓ How to Ruin a Great GameTake a great game with no extraneous bits to distract, and do an update to add stupid, unnecessary animations (and yes, I selected the reduced animations option), increase the size of the toolbar and add juvenile messages and level options. Way to go. I’m aiming to downgrade by backing up from my old iPad. Hope it works, because this is now too annoying to play for so-called relaxation..JOmoSaVersion: 5.1.1

✓ Not as good as it used to be!I am disappointed with each and every update. There are some real minor bugs that need fixing. They never seem to get fixed. They just change the game and not to the better. With this last update they have added the TRAY which is of no use and takes up valuable space and they have added the ad for CLUE. It’s just another ad, it takes up space and jeeps promising it will be gone in a day and never is. I have enjoyed thi game but this last so called update almost sent me looking for a new jigsaw puzzle that has fewer of these annoyances. Kate.Katirose 86Version: 5.1.1

✓ Love it but...I play as **lottie** and am a bit addicted to this game. Regarding the statistics, I would like to see dates when the scores were achieved. I’d also like to know how the game numbering system is devised and the date when each game is released to give an idea of how quickly the top places on the low moves board are populated. It would also be interesting if people had a country flag by their ID. Daily challenges only become available at midnight your local time, so by the time I get to play (GMT) the scoreboard is already full. I’d love to get first on it just once! Try as I might I can only ever get on the low moves board - and even then I’ve only ever got a low move score of 89 once. I do wonder how those low 80s scores are achieved by the regulars in the top 2. As for the other 2 boards which are game time, I really don’t see how you can average 1 card a second without rehearsing it over and over. I used to play the 4 suits game but it was taking too long to complete so I just play the 1 suit now and try to get on the leaderboard..LottieBrontëVersion: 3.2.1

✓ Recent gimmicks annoyingI’ve been playing the paid version of this app for years, and really enjoy it. However, recently they have been making changes. While most are OK, they have more recently started adding gimmicks such as metals, awards, titles, and levels. I just want to play and enjoy the game, and extra pop up messages to tell me my level has increased or to choose a title are just annoying. Please give me a way to turn off these pointless features. I do not need them to remain interested in playing..Ihatenicknames1029384756Version: 5.1.0

✓ Was a five star appLatest update has changed where cards auto move to - don’t go where they used to. App is no longer predictable where cards will automatically move, so having to move cards manually now. Not as user friendly as previous version..Roger ReidVersion: 5.0.1

✓ Need for levels of easeI keep changing my review, but I put it back to three stars because the two-suit “winning deal” games have become increasingly difficult and no more fun to play. It’s impossible that replaying the game 4-5 times, using different moves than the last time, that one still doesn’t win a “winning deal”, other than it’s not rated easy, but rather diabolical. Sometimes it’s just sheer luck, other times it’s strategy. I will try a different spider solitaire and see if there’s not more levels of difficulty than this one..ConLorMarVersion: 5.6.0

✓ Frequent use seems to require deleting & re-installing👀MobilityWare’s Spider Solitaire mobile game has been 1 of my favorite mobile game for longer than recollection, yet sadly the app for months has been prone to freezing for more than a few seconds EVERY TIME it is launched, opened, or brought in to view, (regardless of wifi or mobile data services…). What a bummer, this once great game has been reduced to a super-laggy shadow of its former self. It appears that the app’s local data results in an increasing degradation of the app’s performance/responsiveness over time ☹️ which necessitates deleting & re-installing 🤦 & a loss of game play history 🤷.MartumsVersion: 5.6.0

✓ Don’t like the updateBecause of the time consuming elaborate removal of the completed sequence and because the score, number of moves, and time taken is not visible at the end without going looking for it. Not Happy.Not now addictedVersion: 5.0.0

✓ SpiderSlows down when you reach a certain level and only way to get back to usual speed is to delete app loose your score and reload.Mismatch 3Version: 5.6.0

✓ Downgraded from a once good game to an Animated messLatest updates have introduced ‘childish’ and distracting animations that detract from what we come here for - to play a good competitive game. Once you upgrade to the latest, their is no going back, so stuck with the rubbish. Not even a choice to turn these distractions off in the settings. New update has glitches also, game centre has removed a good score and listed me as Anonymous, only to reinstate me but less the good results. Too much has been attempted by the developer to make is a showy, animated display. After all these years, it is time to regretfully start looking somewhere else..HpskippVersion: 5.0.1

✓ Great Game!BUT!!! I am utterly disappointed in MobilityWare's changing the graphics to a variety of different graphics. The main reason I loved this game so much (back to the Windows version) was FIREWORKS!! MobilityWares version recently has included a huge variety of inane and stupid composite of winning graphics that degrades the initial "intent" of this game. imho... FIREWORKS!! I fell in love with Spider just because when I won, I got Fireworks! Now, blah. Perhaps, 1 out of 10 might produce what I yearn for. Thus, as good as this game is, MobilityWare has forced me to offer no more than 3 Stars. Way to go, MobilityWare" Truly Disappointed!!! === Update (2019/10/16): Forced to lower my rating to TWO stars! Why? As above, Fireworks. On my iPad 5, I rarely get Fireworks upon a win. My iPad 2, at least, gives me a 1 in 10 chance to see my fireworks. I actually found a saved Microsoft Spider on my dekstop and have been playing that just for... well, you know....RoKuSisVersion: 5.1.1

✓ New versions ruined itI’ve been playing this for years. Loved the clean play and the high resolution. Made a point of completing every day’s game. Recent versions have almost completely eliminated any desire to continue playing. First it happened on the iPad, now the iPhone is “ infected “. If there were some way to go back, I would. The whole levels bit adds nothing to the game play. And now blacking out so called unplayable cards just confuses the issues. You have taken one of my favorite games and RUINED IT. Why do developers think they need to keep “improving “ games? LEAVE THEM ALONE. Or at least warn us so we can refuse updates..Justina HaydenVersion: 5.1.1

✓ RIDICULOUSI just paid $7.99 for this game because I was annoyed with the ads on the free Spider Solitaire. This app doesn’t even have the NEW UPDATE! Which means I can’t change the card card faces. I want a refund! I’ll stick to the free SPIDER SOLITAIRE since it has the option to change the card face..Queen_Biatch04Version: 3.2.1

✓ NeatLove playing spider solitaire helps me get to sleep but I miss the noise that usually goes with game.J006Version: 2.0

✓ Levelling up makes game un-winnableHave enjoyed filling time with Spider solitaire game for years. Recent changes with levels have made this app un-winnable for a casual player once a few levels are achieved. I have plenty of competition in my life; solitaire has always been a way to unwind. Fortunately, I have a couple of decks of cards and will be going real world for my solitaire games..AndyMbCaVersion: 5.1.1

✓ No good. 9 out of 10 deals unwinnableIn 9 out of 10 deals on the third or fourth deal from the unseen cards, the game will dish out all queens, kings, or (3) of the same card (e.g. all 7s or 4s). I purchased this because I didn’t like the ads on another spider app and thought the deals would get harder in order for you to start a new game and be forced to view the ads. The other app was nowhere near this non-winnable and you genuinely had a 50/50 shot at solving the game. The deals in this app are so bad that the player will be able to anticipate the cards received on the third or fourth deal from the stock cards, as mentioned, will typically be all queens, kings, or (3) of the same card. Stay away if you want a fun game where you may have a chance of winning every now and again..O0b-man0oVersion: 5.6.0

✓ Simpler is betterI liked the earlier version that was simple with less pop ups and no distractions from what is basically a relaxing game.G G MaVersion: 5.0.1

✓ DisappointedThe last update has slowed things down so much that I’ve quit playing. Please fix. I miss Spider Solitaire..Jilly2eyeVersion: 5.1.1

✓ Game spoiledI used to enjoy this game for the daily challenge. Now, every time I open the game, I am pestered to sign in to Game Centre. I do not want or need to sign in to Game Centre. I never have used Game Centre. There appears to be no way in settings to turn this OFF. This game is now deleted due to this annoyance. Update: Re-installing the game APPEARS to have resolved the issue, however, I have, by deleting and re-installing, lost all my previous results and scores. If this issue with Game Centre resurfaces, I will not re-install again..IanBFairweatherVersion: 5.6.0
