Microsoft Solitaire Collection for Positive User Reviews

Great game but glitchy tournamentsI love the game since first playing it on my pc years ago. I also participate in the tournaments. However, my main gross with this game is that whenever an ad comes up “before” I start a tournament game, it counts towards the time I actually do spend while playing. Last night I put the phone down during an ad and got up watching tv. 3 hours later, I take the phone up to close the ad and start the game. Lo and behold, when I finished playing the “easy” game in less than 2 minutes, I see the total time for a little over 3 hours!!!!! And God forbid I should have some internet issues “after” I’ve completed a game because the clock is still ticking away until the connection returns!!!! This is extremely frustrating and a huge turn off to play the tournaments anymore until last night but now I’m back to sticking to the daily challenges only unless this “glitch” is fixed..Version: 4.12

ComplaintWhy are there ads suddenly showing up? I paid for premium..Version: 4.15

5* for the game itself/2* for the online experienceThe games are fine, the graphics are good, the art is decent, there’s a good breadth of art. The problem is that I like to play competitions and too often I’ll be in the middle of playing and the game will dump me out or freeze. Case in point the anniversary games. I got not quite a third of the way through the whole thing, finished a klondike game and the screen froze as I was waiting for my score to be counted and the next game to show up. This has happened too damned many times, and it’s super frustrating, especially when I’m doing well and bam! I’m locked out. My choices are wait and wait to see if somehow the glitch fixes itself (almost never happens), close the game, reopen it and then have to replay the game I just finished, or just give up. Lately I’ve been choosing just give up on it completely. What’s the point? By the time I get back in and replay my last game it doesn’t matter how well I’ve been doing, the time lost gives me an insurmountable handicap. It’s especially painful when it’s a very long match with a lot of points like the anniversary game play was. I am beginning to think there’s no reason for me to keep my premium membership on the site when I get shafted by it so often. It’s too bad because this is the game I play the most. I really enjoy it—when it works..Version: 4.9.2

Premium annual membership PAID yet not recognized.I'm happy with this app but I'm so looking forward to the 'promised, soon to be released' upgrade whereby all iOS users will be able to utilise the full scope of games just like the Microsoft platform users enjoy. Upgrade released and first event in a few hours time. Woo Hoo 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.Version: 1.7

Great game but ads are too long.I’ve been playing this game for years and enjoy it very much......but the ads are repetitive, they take a long time to play, and when the ‘x’ appears to leave the ad and you press it, it takes you to the store to purchase the advertised game etc. Way too expensive to ‘rent’ solitaire on a monthly basis, I would be quite happy to pay a one off price to purchase and be done away with the pathetic ads. I’m never going to pay for a monthly subscription..Version: 4.16

Dutch TulIPFor years I played Microsoft Solitair Daily Challenges and now they do start me with level 1. I am not very impressed.Version: 4.17.1

Great gameI play Klondike solitaire frequently, over 2,200 times. I play it different the most people. I like to use easy settings and just try to beat my time. My best time is 1:06. 3 things I’d really like to see in a future version: 1) I really wish the bar at the bottom at least had an option to always stay visible. A lot of times I’m reaching for a button on the bottom and accidentally close it. That can be annoying when I’m trying to play as fast as I can. 2) it would be a really interesting feature if you could re-play a deck at then end of the game... or even save a deck so it can be played again at a later date (possibly multiple times). 3) it would be fun to be able to see more stats, average game time, etc. ideally it would be awesome to see a graph with game time on the y axis and date played on the x axis (plots points would be red or green for win or loss). Then I could see how I’m doing over time..Version: 1.7.2

Microsoft Solitaire CollectionI only recently discovered this game site and I have become addicted!! So many games are just too easy/too hard I love that each card game has several levels to suit people’s different abilities. Also excellent is the “How to play” section which taught me how to play Klondike which turned out to be easy to learn and an enjoyable game. I never understood what Freecell was about, it always seemed so complicated but following this site’s instructions I gradually got to understand the rules. I did not mind ending early many games because I had “trapped” myself and despite still playing at the “easy” level I have come to love Freecell, to enjoy using my brain to master the strategy of each game. This site continues to give me hours of fun as I love the challenges of each game me. Oh, and I love at any time/part of the game for a few moments or for many hours (overnight or because of other things to do) you can stop playing and return to continue the game without penalties - brilliant!! Just wish you could add more games like Hearts or is this on another selection??!!.Version: 4.4.1.1

ContactWhy is it so hard to contact support? I’m using iPad Pro. I have downloaded and paid for premium and have been playing it for a couple of weeks. Three days ago it wouldn’t sign in I’ve uninstalled it reinstalled it gone to Xbox live logged in ok changed password logged in again ok on Xbox live. Went back to app and again couldn’t sign into premium. What do I have to do? I’ve read the fault finding but they tell me nothing..Version: 4.3.1

YesI'm addicted to this game. I love their new daily rewards it gives you a card and you play three games of whatever game and then you get a bonus game. Every time he comes up and he says like oh so you seem to have some like download stuff do you want to download that and then you have to push no don't download that what why would you want me to do that and love you Siri it's me all so if you're reading this please please please please please please why is someone else user name my name like my name like my first and last name and I'm like I just want to put in my first and last name I won't let me because it's so annoying I think I'm going to target. I think I'm also going off topic..Version: 4.15

Review of Microsoft SolitaireMicrosoft Solitaire is very addictive but also very fun. I have been playing it for about three years. I try to find ways to solve the puzzles quicker so I can consistently be in the top 25. I believe some people must have two accounts so they can practice each puzzle on a trash account and score big on the second account. I like to improve my times but I wish there was a way to see how I compare with the group for each of the five games and even by difficulty level. Overall the games are great and I enjoy the challenges almost every day. I know you have to make some money along the way but the long commercials are boring to watch after the 20th or 30th time! Thanks for making the games so fun though..Version: 4.4.1.1

Cool game bro 😎I love solitaire it is fun and I like having different kinds to choose from but my fave has to be the spider. Solitaire is just a nice way to chillax but it takes FOREVER to load.😒 I wish you could set a level for the daily challenges cuz I am only a beginner and I can't do hard stuff. 😿👍😺😸😻 P.S I am a crazy cat lover Meow meow 🐱.Version: 4.3.1

Great app - suggestionI love playing this app, mostly the daily challenges and events. I love to meet the set challenges but I feet slightly cheated because I don’t get to actually finish the actual game. I’d like the opportunity to finish even once the challenge is met to give players a sense of accomplishment . Maybe give an extra bonus in completing the game.Version: 4.7.3

So addictive but challenging!Many games can cost you money but Microsoft Solitaire is free and you have the opportunity to play 5 different versions at your experience level. Plenty of challenges if you want to close a different level of difficulty. You could use it as mindfulness activity. But I warn you that without a limit of some sort you can easily become addicted!! Enjoy!!.Version: 4.16

Random decks always unsolvableThe random decks in pyramid are unsolvable. The card at the top is always blocked by the card it needs to pair with. I think I’ve only ever solved two boards before. Makes it impossible to rank up unless you play the set difficulty boards..Version: 4.6

Help MEEE 😔I love this app!! It is realllyyyy goood and if it wasn’t for my current issue I’d rate it 5 stars but I can’t fix the problem! I had previously downloaded the app and created an Xbox account through my gmail a long time ago and have recently re-downloaded it. When I tried signing back into my account, I put in my email and misspelled it 🤦🏽‍♀️ There is an option that says, “Typo in your email? Fix it here” but every time I try to click on it, it turns darker and gets a underline but it doesn’t take me anywhere!! No matter how long I wait it stays on the same page. I’ve tried deleting the app and re-downloading it but it doesn’t help it stays the same!! I just want my old progress 😖 Can someone help mee?.Version: 4.7.1

Terrible at internet connectionYou complete a game and then they are unable to get an internet connection and so the score is never correct. I have a perfect internet connection but the people who run this game are unable to complete a good connection and so the player is penalised through no fault of his own. Will definitely not be renewing unless this is resolved!!!! Just had a great score and guess what, they can not connect to the internet, surprise, surprise. Absolutely useless, don’t bother..Version: 4.7.1

Great game with a massive room for improvementThis is the most classic game package you can get. Best thing while you’re on public transport... not. People usually play these games to pass the time. Usually while using public transport. When you’re in the underground train with no internet connection in sight, the lat thing you need is a game so tightly coupled with internet that to play another round you need a network connection (unless you want to play random difficulty). Seriously Microsoft? Are there any micro transactions and in-app purchases that are possible (apart from membership) that require internet? Have a look at other games (say, Two Dots). They save progress in the cloud but they don’t need constant connection to the internet. Fix it 😂.Version: 4.3.1

Amazing Game, But Newest Update for Bonus GameI think this is an amazing app platform to play solitaire on, as I have been playing on it for years now. Though, with the newest update that allows you to play a bonus game after achieving a certain level, I have been running into the issue of the game crashing and the app closing as soon as I've completed the bonus game. Then as soon as I open the app again, it says I have to resume the game and puts me back a few turns. After the first two times it happened, I thought it was maybe just an issue with my device and tried to restart it, but then it continued to crash, even after switching to another mobile device and even my desktop computer. This needs to be fixed. I've been a loyal player on this app for nearly six years now and I've never been so disappointed with the app before until this newest update. Please fix the bug that crashes the game and app so more players can enjoy it to its fullest extent. Thank you for your time and thank you for an amazing solitaire platform!.Version: 4.12.1

Inappropriate adsI feel I need to post this comment and warn others who might be playing with young people or could be triggered. I very much enjoy this app and was a new player. I've seen in other comments from developers that they have no control over the ads or content. An ad showed a graphic design game with a beautiful, innocent young woman dressed somewhat like a princess. the burly arm of a male appears wearing armor and defensive adornments. he was given choices about interacting with the princess--take a bath/have dinner, etc. of course he chose "take a bath." the next directive was " take off her underwear" and she recoiled and looked scared when the arm reached out and started to remove her veil. at that point the ad went to title and i dont remember the name. I was horrified at this insinuation of rape.I had to close the game. when i play now, every time an ad appears i fear it is that one. very stressful for me when i play this game for enjoyment..Version: 4.12.2

To many adverts spoiling the gameReally enjoyed this app since I downloaded it about two years ago but recently the number and length of ads have increased and now it’s getting to the point where it’s irritating! After at least every other game a dodgy ad claiming you can win money playing dominoes comes on and I’m seriously close to just deleting the app.Version: 4.11.1

I love it. There is room for improvement.This is everything you love about solitaire. The card action and sounds are great; the graphics look good; it’s a good solitaire experience. But— If I have just one stack of cards that’s unturned (everything is else is Kings or is turned) the app should just complete the rest for me—do I have to go through the motions of making every single card in the deck move into its correct place before “Solve” appears? I know I’m done! Just finish it for me! And when there are no remaining moves possible, the app should know that, and not make me ask for hint after hint just to verify that fact. I know that I can’t make any more moves—why would the app not just work that out and tell me right away? This point is definitely the one that needs the most attention, as it’s a pain to have to not just cycle through every card in the remaining deck, but also have to request a hint on each occasion to provoke the app to report that no further moves are possible. I appreciate the work that goes into app-making. Sorting out these two points would improve things considerably. Thanks for the work you’ve put into the app..Version: 4.5

Not happyHave played this game for a long time now it won’t let me play daily challenge keeps saying internet issue have uninstalled and reinstalled still says same thing any solution.Version: 4.11.1

Great gameThis is my favorite app to play solitaire on. My one suggestion would be an option to complete the game after a challenge objective was met. For example: in the Klondike daily challenges, there could be a challenge to clear the 5 of clubs or to reach 350 points. Once you reach the objective, the game ends. I think an option to continue the game until it is solved would be nice. Maybe have a choice to either return to the main screen or to play to the end. I like playing the games all the way through and sometimes a goal can be reached so soon in the game but I want to keep playing it to the end. Other than that, it’s my favorite app for solitaire..Version: 4.11.1

Your ads keep freezing and won't closeCan't play the game because the ads keep freezing. Very frustrating. Support team doesn't bother to help. Very unhappy ☹️😠.Version: 4.8

Love it!!I think this may be the best app. They also resolve the issue I had in a timely manner. (Was actually impressed) You won’t be able to put your phone down after playing a little... it’s addictive!.Version: 4.7.3

Great collection of games.Good way to pass time on a winters day..Version: 4.13.1

Really love thisI used to play this on my Windows laptop but got bored with it. I use my iPad far more though and the touch interface is a phenomenally better interface to play these games with so I really love that this is available on iOS. Even more do I love that I can log in to my Microsoft account and gain the rewards for completing the challenges. My only suggestions and why I haven't given five stars are, could we have an additional achievement for a perfect month for doing all challenges? Diamond is great but another one for perfect would make us feel even more pleased about doing them all...and the other suggestion is, can we get access to previous months in the premium subscription so we can fill them in? Or have the ability to purchase previous years as packs. I think it would be great and I would pay for premium access or purchase affordable packs if these features were included..Version: 1.6.1

Patience that needs thinkingLove the hard levels, like the grand master. It’s challenging. Games are well designed and ads are minimal. What is missing, though, is ability to go back to the beginning of the game. Only one game has that option, for others, you have to press Undo two hundred times..Version: 4.7.3

ReviewI like the game but it does not cater for working population. The events should be at the regular 10 or 5 games. The 27 or 30 game event should either be weekends or like the daily challenge you should be able to go back during the month and finish the incomplete. Picture this up in the morning ready for work, may get a few daily challenges at the breakfast table. Get home, dinner, the kids homework, clean up, hit the sack, may get go after the events, because I know the daily challenges that I do not get done that day I can catch on later. Go after the events and 10 is the max before I fall asleep. If it is a 27 or 30 by next morning it is closed. There is no retrieving later like the daily challenge..Version: 4.11.1

Good gamesI really like playing the five daily games. Not sure why I can’t get my head round the occasional one but fun trying. Since they have updated the site I now have to watch the very same ad for the very same game every time I play it. The same ad!!! And instead of the previous one that was a quick ad for a book site, this one has to go through the whole effect before you can cancel it. Tedious in the extreme..Version: 4.2

Love the games, hate the timerI’ve been using this app for years and I love the games and simplicity of the interface. The ads are expected, the required internet connection is bearable, and the subscription offer pop ups only happen every so often. My only complaint is that when you’re competing in an event and you don’t finish the challenge.. the timer keeps going! For example, yesterday I was waiting for a friend in my car, playing the Solitaire Celebrities event. I was halfway through a Spider game when I had to leave, so I hit the back arrow to exit the challenge, came back before bed to finish it and the timer literally said it took 12 ***HOURS*** for me to finish it. I went from 3rd place down to 19th. I probably shouldn’t care so much about this but it’s really annoying that there’s not a way to stop the timer even if you exit the challenge..Version: 4.16

Black out decks with latest releaseIt’s very hard to see the cards - please alter the options so that you alter the face..Version: 4.7

No able to access daily challengesMost disappointed since your update can't access daily challenges, it gets stuck on garden scapes,.Version: 4.12.1

Klondike solitaireThe latest version shows the complexity panel when you select one of the games. There used to be an option to not show this every game but it has disappeared. Annoying!.Version: 4.13.1

Potentially wonderful but the events section is constantly dropping out.I have been playing this for several years and greatly enjoy the games but the enjoyment should be enhanced by the competitiveness of the daily events section - instead it has become a great frustration as it frequently drops out and the time it takes to reconnect is added to your time destroying any sense of fairness to the results. This complaint has been made frequently on these pages but without any sign of action. Come on Microsoft, you should be better than this - make our day and stop the dropouts!!.Version: 4.8

Please make the dark theme standardI love love this game I play it just about every night But I prefer the dark theme and every time there’s new content it resets to standard theme I was wondering if you could please make it so it stays on the downloaded theme chosen? 🙏🏼.Version: 4.13.1

PLEASE MOVE THE “UNDO ALL” BUTTONI love this game!!! I play it everyday but PLEASE move the undo all button, i keep pushing it by accident when im well into a game 😓even swap it with the hint button so that, even if i push the wrong one instead of “undo”, it wont restart the board.Version: 4.17.1

Let us complete daily challenges!I enjoy this app, but wished there was an option to continue on with it even tho I’ve completed the daily challenge - don’t just kick me out to congratulate me, give me the satisfaction of completing the set! And stop annoying me to sign in if I don’t want to..Version: 4.3.1

Microsoft Solitaire CollectionI’ve been solving the problems in the above named collection for more than 3 years now. I’ve only come across one Tri Peaks from the daily challenges of September 2018 which if I could solve would give me a perfect score for 41 months. I’ve found taking a Premium subscription is worth every cent. Regards NSW358, Monday 1st March 2021..Version: 4.8

Use to be favouriteI played this everyday the daily challenges and the events always trying to finish in top 3, it was just so much fun but now I have a ad that will not load it is just a black screen with a tiny white circle. I have checked for updates on iPad and deleted game and reinstalled it but nothing has helped. Please please find out which ad it is that has the bug and get rid of it. Thank you.Version: 4.12.1

Good but a few thingsI love this game but there are a few things about this game that I don’t like 1.Ads I know you need ads to make money but there are too many of them 2.Internet why do you need internet for this game I can play easy or random but nothing else 3.Premium one thing I hate is that you need it to play older daily challenges but other then that it is great and I love the weekly rewards. Please fix these.Version: 4.17.1

Good but needs to be simpler to suit the simple gamesSolitaire and other card games on here are simple games suited to tube journeys and trains. It’s very frustrating to not be allowed to play it when your on the tube which doesn’t have internet because you have to sign in and see an annoying ad play. The advert always comes on loudly there is no option to mute the app by default as with most games and you can’t seem to mute it until two seconds of crap blaring out your speaker so that everyone on the bus stares at you. There’s absolutely no reason to require the internet or ads to play something as simple as a game of solitaire when the game play itself has never evolved from 90s windows computers. Even when I have full signal and 4G the apps servers won’t recognise that I have internet on a lot of the time anyway. Can I not simply play a game of cards?.Version: 4.3

Deliberate change or bug?I am finding it difficult to continue playing this game due to the app freezing on a black screen at the end of each advertisement. I am not sure if this is a deliberate attempt to get players to subscribe to the app or a bug. Although I would be happy to pay a one off fee for this app I will not subscribe just to play patience. If it is a bug please respond and let players like myself know that you are looking at the problem. If it was a deliberate attempt to force people to subscribe you will I am sure lose a lot of customers before too long. Update: The problem appears to have been fixed. I no longer see a black screen after watching the ads. I have amended my rating in line with the issue having been resolved..Version: 4.6

Stopped playing music while playing solitaireEnjoy playing solitaire on the commute, it’s a great way to relax but since the latest update, it turns off Apple Music if I launch Solitaire. Tried turning off the in game music and sound effects but didn’t work. Also if I sign in to Xbox and solitaire is unable to reach the network, signs me out of all my Microsoft products like outlook, word, etc. It’s a real inconvenience having to sign in again to office 365 so I started playing as a guest..Version: 4.2

Game won’t load since upgradeVery frustrating that the game won’t load since latest upgrade. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still I get only a blue screen. Too bad! It was a good game while it lasted..Version: 4.17

Lots of fun BUTThe game is a ton of fun. But to me there is only one major problem. Ads, though videos at different times between games. Cost to much and or major hassle to get rid of them. Would be great if a low one time fee to get rid of them..Version: 4.15

SolitaireIt is very entertaining and enjoyable..Version: 4.17

Inappropriate adsI don’t mind ads, but would prefer they went for gambling games.Version: 4.12.1

One of the bestThis is one of my favorite games that I never miss playing. There’s so much variety and the game is very well done. I have been a premium subscriber for years and it’s well worth the money. The game has lots of features and the daily tournaments are great. The only issue I have with the game is that the tournaments don’t seem to allow you to pause your overall time, which is what prompted me to write this review. The other day I was in the middle of a tournament game when an important phone call came in. I switched my phone from the game to the call and the time kept running like I was actively playing. Yeah, a total first-world problem, but an issue nonetheless. Still it’s a favorite and part of my morning routine every day..Version: 4.12

Great gameThis is the best version of the Solitaire suite I've found. Pity that the latest update brought loads more adverts. It would have been okay if they were silent adverts but they weren't. And just about all of them were gambling adverts. I guess $14.99 isn't too much to pay for ad free playing though..Version: 4.2

Plagued by problemsHave been playing this for a number of years and then started to have problems. When the next game is due to load the screws goes dark and a waiting type revolving circle appears but never goes away. Decided to delete and re download the game again. Worked ok for a few weeks then the same problem. The fault appears on all variations.Version: 4.12.2

Could do betterMajor drawbacks: 1. the ‘choose difficulty’ option only seems to work once one has played one’s first game. 2. if one is completely stuck and one wants to see the solution before moving on to a new game the app does not offer this option, so one cannot identify where one went wrong. 3. the app does not have a ‘restart’ option, so if one is stuck and wants to start the same game again one has repeatedly to tap ‘undo’ all the way back to the start..Version: 4.3.1

Entertaing, challenging gamesI enjoy playing these versions of the five types of solitaire on this App. The App is reliable and has never frozen when in use which is not true of other solitaire Apps. The ads are annoying because they’re often pointless, if after 100 views of a game App I haven’t downloaded it, it is a safe bet I never will so why persist? The biggest downside is the daily challenges. They obviously start at different times around the globe which affects when people can play the challenges. The time for the challenge is from when you start the first game to when you finish the last. If that includes 8 hours sleep, that is added to your game time. It would make more sense to measure time actually spent playing the challenge..Version: 4.6

Fun and challengingGreat app Taught me 2 new games and reunited my love for some old games. Love all the challenges, there is always something to do. Hope they continue to do more and more challenges (eg. Similar to star club) so I never run out in the future..Version: 4.7.3

Love the game, but...I am having problems with the cloud save. It always sync the data between the local and the cloud save whenever I login. What I really wanted is to have an option to choose which save I would like to use to continue playing..Version: 4.7.1

SUGGESTION - NEEDS UNDO ALL OPTION*** My suggestion — I would like to see an undo/restart feature on FreeCell, Klondike, and Spider. The TriPeaks and Pyramid games already have a similar “undo all” feature that is really helpful. I would like to see a similar restart/undo all therwise I find myself having to click undo dozens of times when I get stuck during a game. Also maybe an option where it shows/teaches you how you could have solved the game so you can learn. And an option for hints during the events/daily challenges.*** Love this app! Great that there are 5 games in one, and the daily challenges and daily event games are really fun and encourage me to play all 5. Could be improved with an “undo all” feature on all games..Version: 4.10.1

Great game, but ads are a little brokenI really enjoy this game, especially the range and the daily missions, however the close button on some of the ads are hidden behind the actual ad and seem to never turn up (or I am impatient, but surely over a minute is too long?). This is not always the case, but is very annoying since I have to close and open the game again, and there is a high chance that it will be the same ad. Very happy with the game and appreciate that it’s free, but please fix the overlay of the ads, I would like to not have to close and reload the app multiple times. I will update to 5 stars after that is fixed..Version: 4.7.1

Favorite Solitaire AppI’ve tried multiple solitaire apps and this one is the best. I love the 5 different types of solitaire so that you have some variety. My favorite part of the app is the daily challenges they have (5 per day) and there are other challenges like the daily events. There’s a good range in difficulty so you can be challenged (expert/master) or just play for fun (easy). They’ve definitely figured out how to get people hooked on their app with all their challenges, badges and awards! My only problem with the app is that there is often a glitch in the daily events. You are timed on how long it takes you to complete all events and ranked based on your time. However sometimes the game times out and you have to do the puzzle over and sometimes it will count time you are not playing (for example, I did half the challenges, came back and it added the 5 1/2 hours break to my time). It’s not the biggest deal but if you’re being ranked based on your time it would be nice if the time was accurate. It would also be nice to be able to pause while you’re playing..Version: 4.8

Ads are a serious issueI love Klondike but the long ads every 4th game or even every 2nd if I have to go away for a minute or two are off putting. Then there are the black one’s. No way but to shut down the app. It’s the only game I play that doesn’t know how to manage their ads. Please do something about it. You are losing a lot of your customers. No, I don’t buy ad-free it’s too expensive.Version: 4.13

Brain foodI am 71 years young and I play these games everyday. Keeping my brain active is as important to me as my daily walks with my dog and hard work in my garden. My plan is to live until I am at least 100. Your games help me on my journey. Thankyou🥳.Version: 4.7.2

Love it, but hate the connection issuesThe game itself is great; I enjoy all five variations of solitaire it offers and for the most part they are well done as far as their gameplay mechanics. And I love playing the events-- but therein lies my problems. When you finish a hand, sometimes the game won't proceed as it should; it shows a spinning icon because it's apparently having trouble connecting to the service, yet my Wi-Fi connection is up and the signal is strong. If you select cancel so you can proceed to the next hand in the event, you don't get credit for the hand you just completed and must repeat it. Or, if you start a hand but then cancel out of it before finishing it because you have to go do something else, then come back later and start the hand all over again, the game doesn't merely add your previous time plus your new time, it actually counts all of the time from when you first began the hand to when you finished, even if you weren't playing the hand during most of that time and actually had the app closed down. As a result, the game might say that it took you, say, 8 hours or more to complete that hand, such as if you didn't go back into the game until after a night's sleep. That hurts your standing in the event's leaderboard, which pretty much kills your enthusiasm for participating in the events. When something like that happens to me, it rubs me the wrong way so much that I basically avoid playing the game for days or weeks..Version: 4.8

Maybe a bug?Game says that I’m offline and that I don’t have internet access But I do. So there might be a bug. Just thought I’d let you guys/girls know..Version: 4.8

Random NoiseI love playing the game. But, not only are the ads long and tedious, the most awful advert noise- like marching drums, randomly starts playing. It’s random, but incredibly frequent. This can be during another advert, so there is two sets of sounds competing. It also starts playing randomly during the game and can’t be quieted without silencing my phone. This is enough to put me off playing completely..Version: 4.15

One star because of ads you can’t mute like TownshipI enjoy the games (five stars) but I have sound set to off and I still get blaring sounds from ads like Township and no way to turn the sound off on this ad. (That’s why I gave one star) I would never get games that won’t let you turn off the sound on their ads, it’s a deal broker for me. I shouldn’t be forced to listen to ads, I understand ads are there for the game to be free but I should have the option to mute them especially since have sound off. If sound is off in settings I shouldn’t get any sounds whatsoever. Microsoft can do better if they wanted to help the people playing their games..Version: 4.13.1

Excellent Game, Could Use a Few TweaksI play this game almost every day. I love it, I love the daily challenges, and I love Spider most of all. Some things I would change: 1) When an impasse is reached in Spider, there’s no way to restart the game. In fact, there’s no way to restart any game in regular play. You can only start a new deck. What’s even weirder is that the warning sign says “quitting or restarting this game will count in your statistics” when you do it, so I feel like I’m missing a key option. 2) I have no option of playing a solvable deck if I choose Pyramid in regular mode. It’s always random, and that’s an option I’d like to change if I feel like it, just like all the other Solitaire games. 3) This is picky, but I liked the previous version of the “select game” window when beginning a new deck in regular play. The list is more straightforward, but somehow less classy-looking to me..Version: 4.3.1

Pure Nostalgia and perfect game playI have been looking for a good solitaire app since iOS 2 on my iPhone 3G. This game is absolutely perfect. I put up with the ads for a little while, but now have no problem paying $3 a month for what this retro-gamer has called “the best solitaire app on the App Store”. A personal highlight for me is the ‘Retro’ theme in which the cards and background emulate that 90s PC vibe. Definitely get amongst this app!.Version: 4.15

Game modesThe different game modes and gameplay is absolutely brilliant in this. A few minor details doesn’t change a thing. Music would be great to see for the upcoming future but also the STAR CLUB! Great game to get Xbox points as well. It would be nice to see a few more celebrations for when you complete a deck but all from that the game is addictive!.Version: 1.7

Minesweeper & Sudoku please!GREAT GAME! Will be lovely to see those game on iPad!.Version: 4.3.1

MrTaniwhaGood game.Version: 1.1.11100

Blue Screen of DeathHey Developers, love the game and play the daily challenges every day on my (ageing) iPad mini 2 which won’t let me update past iOS 12.5.7 but ever since you updated the game to version 4.17 and later 4.17.1 all I get is the blue loading screen for about 20 seconds then it kicks me out back to my app homepage. Any chance of a fix soon or allowing people on older hardware to install version 4.16 as a latest compatible version from the App Store which worked perfectly? Thanks.Version: 4.17.1

Love the app but...I really like this app and am quite addicted. One annoying thing is that the events often freeze and then you have to re-play the game. Also if you close the app and don’t replay the game straight away it counts the entire time you are away from the game, which affects your place on the leaderboard. If you could fix that it would be great..Version: 4.4.3

Great Game!This is a great time killing game. Doing the daily challenges as well as the events is fun and competitive. It also is a great brain booster. Using different strategies and noticing patterns helps improve brain problem solving abilities. Only complaint is the aggressive advertising. I don’t mind an ad or two very few levels, but the ads are frequently the same two ads and they are relentless and unable to be skipped. If the ad generation could include a larger variety of games, it would make the ad waiting much less tedious. Overall, the ads don’t take away from the gameplay nearly as much as other mobile games. Would highly recommend!.Version: 4.15

AddictedI love this app and am addicted to playing Solitaire. However in recent months, every time I open the app there are themes to download, even 4 times a day. This means the playing cards aren’t in the right theme when I go to play which isn’t a big deal but I don’t know why it’s been happening so much lately. The game is designed very well and I love the card packs. Adverts aren’t too overwhelming either. I wish however that you could play offline on harder modes (so I can play on the tube!).Version: 4.11.1

Awesome gameAwesome game in the world.Version: 1.6.1

Amazing but...I am fascinated by this game, some challenges are really complicated, and I love that they make you think, the only but, is that although you have an excellent internet in your house, sometimes a half game Solitaire server, suffers from some interruption, this You can see it when after a game, it does not save that it is finished, and if you do not close it or practically disconnect, add all that disconnection time to the registry of your game, so if you finished a new one in 30 seconds, and you leave it like this Waiting for it to reconnect, it will appear that you were there all that time, that it can be 3, 5 or 12 hours, or until you resume it, and add it to your registration, that's why you lose positions. And if you lose, just look at who, since there are players who have more than one account, the idea is to know the games and do them quickly, the second or next time, only then can they win. But if you won the first try, feel happy..Version: 4.10.1.1

Best time waster everYep there's lot to do with your time, but training your brain is always good.Version: 1.6.1

Can’t play without adsI have purchased one of those 12 month subscriptions that stop ads but since recently it won’t allow me to login. You pay so much money for no ads but Microsoft makes it impossible to play without ad..Version: 4.2.1

Great but get rid of the ‘bots’ in the challengesI love solitaire. I always have. I love the games, the difficulty and trying to better on my previous time. But - and despite thousands complaining on the community groups all the time - you still allow programmed software to take over your top 100 in the challenges games. You won’t change it and it becomes quite pathetic that ‘some thing’ manages to complete 30 games in 12 minutes... the cards don’t even turn over that fast. When will you deal with this so that we humans can go about enjoying this app?.Version: 4.3.1

Almost perfectMain complaint is how offline play is handled. I would like my status and profile to reflect my offline games, like when I'm on a plane..Version: 4.3.1

Great game lots of varietyThis is a great app with heaps of different levels and themes. I love the hard and expert levels....really challenging. I especially like the daily challenges and daily tournaments. I’m not too keen on the ‘dark’ theme, i find it difficult to focus on which is annoying as there are heaps of hard/expert levels in it but I can’t do them. Ads are minimal and can be easily skipped..Version: 4.7.3

This is getting annoyingOnce again I am forced to shut down the app after finishing a challenge and potentially having to replay it if the data is lost. Plus the timer will add the time spent waiting for the app to reload plus the time spent replaying the challenge so that it will look like I spent half an hour trying to finish the challenge instead of having done it in under three minutes. I get that you probably have thousands of people logging in at the same time and it’s a drag on the system but this is getting ridiculous. Please fix this issue, as the app is great otherwise. (Still wondering about being able to pause challenges and request hints during a game.).Version: 4.6.2

Game memoryI love this application with the exception that when finishing a challenge, if you are disconnected from internet, the only way you can get back to the game is by closing the application and starting the challenge once again. You will be in a loop hole if playing the same game you finished but the sad story is that the challenge is timed and the clock does not stop till you finally get your score and can move on to the next challenge. Even after you close the application, the clock continues. Developers should develop a memory bank where the application can acknowledge it disconnected, save your progress and stop the clock. This is critical because every challenge is timed! It is weird that you never find out when it disconnects till you finish the challenge and are waiting for the score to appear so you can move on. Other than this, this application is the best I have ever played. Wish someone could look into making a patch to fix this. I don’t know if it just happens to me because I am using an iPad or it happens to any one on any other platform..Version: 4.7.2

Great game, but…I enjoy playing this game, but it’s well-named, as you need a lot of patience to tolerate all the glitches. For example, the daily games don’t always load automatically, and I need to reboot my iPad to load them. Then there’s the daily challenges. These are great, too (although some of them are too short… but that’s not a glitch)… but… don’t try to play just after it starts 3pm for me, it varies according to your time zone), because when everyone starts playing all at once, the system overloads, and it takes ages to log your score, all the while adding precious seconds and minutes—and sometimes even hours!—to your score… and the only way out is to do a reboot—again! Best to wait a few hours, until the majority have played, before joining the fun. That said, the puzzles are challenging and enjoyable, and a great way to while away the odd half an hour or so… without the all-too-common glitches, I’d have given 5 stars 🌟.Version: 4.16

Best Solitaire Game EverMicrosoft Solitaire Collection Is the best solitaire game anywhere. Easy to use and just plain works well..Version: 1.8.3

CrashesPlaying on an iPad. Love the challenges BUT SO SICK of it crashing in the middle of the games. So many times getting close to winning an expert game and it crashes sooooo annoying. Please fix it. Would give it a five if it worked ok. Now it keeps advertising to sign in and get rewards but it won't let me sign in. Although I love the card games ...so sick of the glitches..Version: 4.2.1

Great app, too many adsAds are too frequent after last update. They also play with sound rather than starting muted as in other apps. Aside from this the last update was great. Star challenges and themes are good. Events are frequent. Daily challenges. Lots to keep you coming back..Version: 4.2

Generally great app, only issue is that quite a few star club games are glitchyEDIT: I’m an idiot and these games are 4 suit. I wasn’t paying attention and the games didn’t label them as 4 suit so I didn’t realize. Disregard. A weird number of Spider Solitaire games in the star club packs are consistently glitchy in a very specific way I haven’t seen in any daily challenge, event, or regular games. The cards just don’t act right—random cards will not act like they belong to any suit, so while you have a red 3 on a red 4, for example, the game won’t let you move these cards together. But putting that same red 3 on a black 4 will also not let you move it. This glitch makes probably 20 games or so completely unplayable, which is unfortunate, because I like to complete challenges and packs and seeing these star club packs unfinished leaves me a bit unsatisfied. That being said, this is by and large the best solitaire app in the app store. Lots of ways to play, and lots of incentives to keep it interesting. It does seem that they changed some things about the daily challenges to make it easier to earn the monthly badges, which I’m not a huge fan of. Just seems weird to be able to get a diamond badge after completing less than half of the month. Doesn’t affect gameplay at all though, just a small thing..Version: 4.9.4

Something wrong with the game nowI had this game & it’s a great relax game however since yesterday the game now will not let you do nothing. The game will pop up on my iPhone screen then instead of me seeing the front screen page of the categories for the game features, it goes back off and stays off and goes straight to my iPhone screen. I am not sure if there’s a glitch, that’s one of the issues that’s happening. This never happened to this game for how long I’ve been playing this. Sincerely sad relaxed game user. When you pick a game to play, the loading commercial ad something wrong because it just keeps on loading but it shows no pictures no ads etcs. Fix it very aggravating customer.Version: 4.12.1

Great game but missing features.Seriously how long have you had the “Themes coming soon”. It’s a simple feature but it has never been delivered. It may sound petty but that the only reason I have other solitaire apps on my phone is so I can play with custom themes and cards. Be far this has is best card app but the lack of options is truly frustrating. Please do something!.Version: 1.8.1

Nicely doneWell designed and no ads, really like this version of tri peaks in particular. Only request is that a page orientation option would be fantastic please 😊.Version: 4.2

Internet connection!!I pay for premium and expect that to be what I'm getting. Instead I'm getting constant internet connection issues and it takes 5+ minutes to log on, even more when you are having "connection issues"... (And no its not on my side as I'm using wifi on my iPad as I write this).Version: 4.3

CrashingI absolutely love this game, could play for hours....but.....over the last few days it has started crashing when the adverts finish. I have to restart my iPad each time (blooming annoying!!). I removed the app and reinstalled it, losing all my progress. I wouldn’t mind about that if it had cured the problem....it didn’t. Please please please sort this as I simply love this game. If you do you get 5 stars...Version: 4.6

IPad Microsoft Solitaire Better than iMac versionJust relIiieased, the iPad version absolutely TRUMPS the desktop version iiiiiiiiiWindows 10. The desktop version is clunky, needs restarting a lot, and there are problems upgrading to the Premium version. On the iPad everything is much faster and smoother. Furthermore, we are given a 1-month free trial of the Premium version, and it in turn it is so good, I will probably pay for a subscription..Version: 4.4.2

Good and badThe new Xtra points it’s a nice feature on the game but I cannot play it anymore because one of your advertisings is messing it up; all I got today was a black screen with a white dot doing circles… If something is working, you HAVE to make it harder, now every time I finish a game I have to go and choose a game again from the menu! If I already set up the game I want Why do I have to choose after each game in the menu? Everything with you guys it’s a hassle, just to report that you did something, I guess… I’m frustrated already! This game is getting harder to play; I’m wondering if Any of your developers is actually playing it on a phone! The stack of cards in the upper right corner, when you have to flip it, the touch is not working because is RIGHT next to the edge of the phone!!!! Can you fix it for the love of God ???? That happens in portrait mode. You guys are OBSESSED with royal match and merge mansions! Having an advertising annoying doesn’t make you willing to try it, just saying!.Version: 4.15

BugJe ne peux pas jouer aux étoiles.Version: 4.10.2

Solitaire great - shame about the ads!I know the ads allow the app owner to provide the games free of charge to subscribers, and if I wasn’t a cheapskate I would pay extra to avoid them. However, I’m convinced that the ads have become more intrusive in both sound and flashing gaudy colour lately. I don’t actually watch them, t.b.h., just turn off the volume, put the tablet down and do something else ‘til the flickering stops. Anyway, the addition of the star games is good..Version: 4.2

Great app but the buffering losing connection is frustratingI play this every day and do enjoy it. During events sometimes it goes in a spin and if you back out you lose your completed game, time. If you complete it again the time of the first game plus the buffering is added. Not great if you were on track to get a competitive finish..Version: 4.7.2

Adverts!!!Too many adverts. Paying to remove them only works on one device so it’s not account wide which I think is unfair of Microsoft. This is an old classic and has really helped distract me through a difficult mental health episode. I’m old enough to remember Solitaire from way back, Windows 3.1 I believe. I don’t recall having to deal with adverts or having the number of moves restricted and back then it was free! Whilst there are negatives in my review the games are therapeutic and I’m glad I got them..Version: 4.14.1

Love this game!I absolutely love this game, and it introduced me to the wonderful world of solitaire. Who knew it was so addictive! Something I wish though was a video tutorial on how to play the different modes, such as FreeCell (I find it very confusing). Unless there is already, then this game is perfect, and is still easy to play on a small screen!.Version: 1.6.1

Très satisfaitUn divertissement à nul autre pareil!.Version: 4.17.1

Great Game/Many BugsI’ve been using the app for a number of years now, but recently I’ve found continuous problems with the app freezing up. The only way seemingly to resolve this issue is to delete and reinstall the app. At this point it’s become rather boring and tiresome. Hopefully this is just a short term issue, I’d love to see the app back up and functioning as it was before when it would have been a 5* rating..Version: 4.6

Almost perfectHaving played many different versions of Solitaire on PC and iPhone over the years, for me, this is the most polished one out there. A few minor gripes…. . A few of the ads have no mute button, which can be a nuisance if in a quiet environment . Titles run out after level 500. I think Microsoft underestimated how much (sad?) people like myself play Solitaire as a means of switching off for a few minutes. Although I don’t play for the titles, they did provide a bit of a sense of achievement once in a while. . Having spent so much on Microsoft products over the years (Windows, Office, Viso etc), where Solitaire is part of the Windows package, I resent paying again for an ongoing subscription for the ad free version, so will continue with the free version Having said all that, I think it’s still the best collection of Solitaire games out there, so will continue to put up with the minor inconvenience of the adverts..Version: 4.14.1

Games will not loadThis has been my favorite game for many years. I look forward to the Daily Challenges and Events. As of yesterday April 29, 2022 the games will no longer load. When I click to open a game to play it appears to try to play an ad but gets stuck on a black screen with the white swirling dots. I have 2 different iPads. The same thing happens on both. I can play on my Samsung phone without issue. The phone is much smaller and not as enjoyable as the larger iPads. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app but I get the same black screen. I do not see anyway to report this to support for assistance. I have searched for resolution online and found many complaints of this occurring on iPad. None of the suggested fixes have worked. Please help get this fixed ASAP..Version: 4.12.1

Support.... very hard to get help.....I have been playing this game for a while now and love it ! Good job guys ! So I went to subscribed to the premium solitaire and now for some reason it still have adds... it says I am already subscribed but why do I still have adds....?.Version: 4.4.3

The ads are becoming a puzzle in themselves.Used to enjoy it but over the last few months the ads have become increasingly intrusive. I know I’m old and have sausages for fingers but the close buttons take me to install the advertised games. Really, Microsoft? I still play it but the ads are putting me off and I’m getting increasingly itchy feet. Get it sorted again or it will simply be a matter of time..Version: 4.16

Has Become UnreliableI had absolutely loved this game and had reached higher levels only for the whole thing to crash a couple of days ago. Just get a black screen with a white moving circle. Decided to cut my losses and delete the app and bring it up again through the cloud. I’d obviously lost all my data but could still play the game when loaded yesterday. Guess what? It’s crashed again. So disappointed. What is going on?.Version: 4.12.1

😳Well I guess you didn’t like my review because while I was writing it it disappeared sounds very much like Microsoft. It’s pretty much why I went to Apple with everything but I chose to download some of your games because they seem to be helpful for my mind since my stroke. Although, I paid for the ads to be gone for one of the games you would think that you would just do that across-the-board for those two or three different games. I’ve got the solitaire and the word game but you would think that you would just do that across-the-board ——because that’s just crappy ——you want somebody to pay something to remove ads for each individual one—— it’s either gonna be 10 bucks for a year or two bucks a month FOR EACH GAME and that’s just seriously WRONG. Y’ALL just wanna make a buck every way you can but I’m definitely canceling the other one and I’ll just live with the ads or quit playing..Version: 4.11.1

IOS version has timing problemsIOS version has problems with timings it just added 25minutes to a competition game. Looking back through reviews this has been a problem for years and need to be sorted. App also loses contact with server saves time taken to complete game but not fact that it was solved. If you cancel saving result the time is added to your even time and add some of the saving time, very annoying Terrible Apple App support no progress with none problems.Version: 4.7.3

AdvertsPlease program adverts before or after a game is completed and the results are recorded. What happens on a fairly regular basis is that before the result details are register an advert tries to download and there is a problem, the player then sits looking at the loading icon for a long period until frustration sets in and the player has to reset the computer only to discover the game time factor has increased adding minutes to ones actual time. Some of my friends believe this is a deliberate ploy to encourage players to pay for the premium rate ?.... surely not..Version: 4.8

UPDATE..Black screen issue fixedGlad to have you back to a 5 star rating. Thanks for your response and fixing the problem. I have been playing this daily for years until last week. After the ad it went to black screen. Back on approx 12 hours later. After ad 2 days ago went black and game has not returned. No other app does this. What happened? Game back after few days. Great for a week. Back to the same problem again today. After an ad screen goes black..Version: 4.6

Cheats basicallyJust have to laugh at the times recorded on the leaderboard. 4 games completed in 36 secs. Really would like to see that. At least 5 secs just to load each game. Otherwise it’s a great way to pass the time with varying degrees of difficulty. Once perfect month achieved I can’t let it go. 2 years of perfection and still going..Version: 4.15

A very “playable” game for cell phone.I like the legible icons that are easy to touch, without hitting their neighbors. This is great for the speed competitions, against others players! (The “Sud_ko” games penalize you for touching a neighboring key, making them better suited to Tablet play.) Although interesting, I am not interested in the variety of card backs. I do like being able to return to an interrupted game and month-long challenges. After years of playing, I recently discovered the Four Game Challenge, where you pick three games (at any level) and are then presented with a random fourth game, for a “virtual trophy”. It gives you a “warm feeling that nobody notices”, but it’s good fun..Version: 4.15

Greed has ruined this game.I, like many others here, don’t ever write reviews, but this latest update from Microsoft is the epitome of corporate greed. It was a free game, so as much as I loathed the addition of ads I somewhat understood. I put up with it for a bit, but then they just got too annoying, and so I thought “I really do enjoy playing this game from time to time, so I’ll just buy the premium version for whatever they want”. Come to find out, I can’t BUY it. I can only rent it for an annual fee. For solitaire. It is a card game that has been around for as long as cards have been around, and they want me to pay every year?!?! They have lost their minds!!!!! It is a digital deck of cards. The greed represented with this move is abhorrent. I’m done..Version: 4.3

Rewards are disappointingI paid for the Premium version to get rid of the ads, which was utterly worth it as they were becoming ridiculous. I’m a simple soul and for levels 1 to 100 enjoyed seeing the change in the “title” graphic every 10 levels. Once level 100 is reached however, this became a really rather boring tablet, with a slight bit of animated river. Recently I noticed that there was a change of title at level 200, but when you get there it is just a change in the colour of the tablet and a bronze award. You can see where this is going and it’s not good enough Microsoft. You can spend a bit of cash on producing something more interesting. I’ve cancelled my subscription now and will look for an alternative..Version: 4.15

Fab app but crashes when ads comeI love this game and have played it for years. However now it seems the developers are trying to get us to pay for ad free subscriptions, because over the last few weeks each time an ad comes up the app immediately crashes afterwards. It is so frustrating. Then just now I’ve had a pop up asking me if I want to go ad free for £7.99 a year. Hmmmm... Come on sort this out please. What was my go to app is about to be deleted!! And yes I have tried the uninstall/update/restart etc etc. It doesn’t solve it..Version: 4.6

Love ItI mainly just do the daily challenges as they are a quick way to pass 10-15 mins. As I have Microsoft account I have the premium game and no ads which is awesome. This is exactly the type of game I like to play, no need to try and upgrade things and have to earn impossible amounts of gold etc to continue to play game. Please don’t complicate this app its simplicity is its key..Version: 4.17.1
