Solitaire for Negative User Reviews
✓ 2 stars based on where we are headedStarted out as a great simple, no nonsense app. Now, it has ads, and is getting bloated with nonsense and options to buy ad free etc. I’m about to delete this app. Only reason I gave it more than one star was because I used to really enjoy this app. They have ruined it..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Too many commercialsThis app used to have pop up ads in between each game. Ok, no problem, I’d take a quick peek at the ad and it was something I was interested in I’d click on it to learn more, if not I’d close the ad and resume playing. I expect that with a free app. But now, especially over the last year or so they’ve moved onto running 30 second commercials that you can’t turn off if you’re not interested. It’s like watching local tv now. And thus happens after every game - about every 3 minutes or so. Additionally, they’ve now got ads that when you click on the X to close it, it opens up the ad in your phones browser instead. Everything is now about clickbait now and it’s become a real nuisance. Don’t get me wrong, the game itself is excellent - I’ve been playing it on my phone for years, but for something as simple as solitaire, to expect someone to upgrade and pay for this to minimize all the commercials when there are hundreds of solitaire apps out there that don’t make you take a minute long commercial break every 3 minutes of play, the choice is obvious. I’ve been a loyal user of this app for several years, but I’ve had it up to here with this nonsense. I’ll be looking for another solitaire app and when I find one I like, I’ll be deleting this one permanently. Sorry guys, you’ve got a great game here, but you’ve seriously overestimated what it’s worth to players to keep using it..Version: 6.6.0
✓ Please, make it simple againI cannot understand why everything has to change when you had a perfectly functional game. This game was perfect before adding all this hype and extra animation junk. Nearly every time I open a new game now, daily challenge or not, the app locks up right after the deal, forcing me to restart. Not only that, but there is lag... LAG, in solitaire. How is this even possible? I’ve owned this game for years and years. It is terribly frustrating to consider deleting it for who knows what other junk might be out there. Please fix this. Just take it back to being simple. No one cares about all this extra stuff that has zero to do with what is supposed to be, a simple card game. If I want flashy, sparkles and whimsical animations, I’m sure there’s a million other games on the market to fill that void. Please fix the lag and the lockup’s. I don’t want to spend hours and hours trying a bunch of other apps to simply find one as good as this one used to be..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Keeps freezingI like the game, as a game addict it helps me stop after one win because I don't want to see the ad. But about once a month the game freezes and I can't move cards, though I'm using moves every time I touch the screen. Then it starts shifting cards all over the screen. The only way is to delete the app and re download as closing the app and restarting reloads the frozen game. Please fix this glitch..Version: 7.2.0
✓ Great app BUT ...Since new update it’s very glitchy. Cards seems to vibrate and shake as they travel from deck to stack. It’s no longer smooth. App crashes. Hardly any wins any more. Growing bored now. And video ads drive me crazy! They are so slow and take so long before you can click away from them. And there are ads that are so hard to click on to close. I understand free games have ads, that's fine, but do they have to take so long. The ads leave me annoyed ...is that seriously the effect the advertiser wants ?.Version: 6.0.8
✓ Good app but there’s one adThis one ad keeps crashing and not loading so I have to restart the game. I don’t know what ad it is but it’s a pain in the a*& as I like to complete my daily challenge and goals early but this delays it!.Version: 7.1.0
✓ Recently gone downhillI’ve played this game for years, completing daily challenges etc… the advert changes are very irritating, and have become a significant feature in the game, definitely impacts gameplay in a negative way. More recently this game has been crashing constantly. I’ve been unable to complete a daily challenge for three days due to constant crashing and freezing, same goes for the event. My iOS is the most up to date version, so I feel the problem is from the developer. Getting very close to deleting a game that has become unplayable. I keep trying to see if things have changed, but much more and it will be gone..Version: 7.5.2
✓ SolitaireVery annoying having so many advertisements that are not relevant Tedious having to keep drawing cards when it's obvious that there are no other moves and having to wait before a new games is offered..Version: 7.1.0
✓ New featuresI deleted my old game which I had loved playing for years. It kept freezing, making each game time annoying and time consuming. I’ve downloaded the newest version, hoping to renew the great game I am use to playing, only to find it has been ‘dumbed down’! The moves are now done for me! Why on earth would I want to watch while the card moves are not my choice? ! Please, eliminate this so called improvement, if I didn’t want to make my own choices I wouldn’t bother to play the game at all..Version: 7.5.2
✓ Good game but the ads regularly jam my iPhoneDon't mind ads on a free app but some take too long and regularly jam the phone so I have to exit out of app to play the game again..Version: 5.0.0
✓ The Multiplayer mode is completely fakeIf you start a multiplayer game against an opponent and disconnect your device completely from the internet (turn off wifi and mobile data) the “opponent” is still connected to the game and keeps playing, which is impossible unless the opponent is not actually another person from somewhere else in the world and is an app generated player. They didn’t develop a multiplayer platform they just deceived us into believing it was there! HUGE HOAX!!! Shame on you Mobilityware. 1 star because I can’t score negative stars!.Version: 6.9.0
✓ Not happyI used to be able to just play the game .... now a whole lot of ‘stuff’ keeps popping up on the screen “welcome back” every time I restart.... just I start playing! Then I ended up in some points competition that I didn’t want to be in. I deleted the app & reinstalled it and now I get all of the stupid adverts before I can play. I think I’ll delete it permanently and use real playing cards !.Version: 6.1.0
✓ The game lags and ads are to longThis new update lags bad and the ads are 10 min long it's not a free game no more they make you pay monthly to get rid of the ads.Version: 6.2.0
✓ Constant frustration!!I really really enjoy playing the basic Solitaire game as it gives me mental wellness away from the problems of everyday life. But at the moment I have to keep turning my iPad off then back on due to one particular ad that will just freeze & not count down or give the “X” to get back to the game. I understand the need for ads & that I could pay to have no ads (not a feasible option atm), but this issue is increasingly making me become very frustrated. Can whoever makes this ad please fix the problem?.Version: 7.5.2
✓ Publicité invasivePublicité invasive qui force à fermer plusieurs fenêtres avec dés façon de faire différentes d’une annonce à l’autre.Version: 7.1.1
✓ My opinionA lot of things being added . I find that this is causing abit of lag . Never had this problem until a year ago . Don’t get me wrong I still enjoy the game and am prepared to put up with the slower application.Version: 6.1.1
✓ AdsGame is ok but the ads drove me crazy. I understand the game is free and you need the ads but you are not going to get anywhere by using such annoying and faulty ads. Some ads I had to click at least 3 different screens to close. A lot of the ads when you click the x to close it repeatedly takes you to download. Sometimes they just freeze the game. I spent 1 minute playing the game and 5 minutes trying to close the ad and having to turn off and restart my phone. I would rate your game as reasonably good but my advice to people is DON’T BOTHER. It is not worth the aggravation..Version: 6.9.0
✓ But the ad control is terribleThis is a well designed app which I play every day. However they don’t control the ads - some are fine but others go on for ages 30-60 seconds and show the escape “X” that actually sends you to the App Store, a dishonest trick that increases the apparent success of the ad but drives me crazy, as it takes so long before you can escape and get back to a new game. I’ve provided feedback to them on this but the trickery if anything is getting worse. I’m checking out other solitaire apps, as a result..Version: 6.4.0
✓ Why the hurry?This is a good reliable rendition of the game. Some of the challenges are fun, the reward system works, it’s got all the features you need. But I don’t like the whole competitive “Win the game in record time” bs. It encourages cheats who use bots to crank up ridiculous scores. The original card game was never about speed. Here, we call it “Patience”. And it’s a game meant to be played by one person, ( hence the name) so what’s with the multiplayer nonsense? I’ve been playing this version for decades, actually, and I’ll keep playing it till I’m too old to care. But I’m never going to try and beat the clock, and I’d rather eat my own head than play a multiplayer game..Version: 7.1.0
✓ SolitaireThe problem with this game is the adverts. The situation has got so bad that it requires shutting the phone down just to get rid of an advert and this is occurring on a much more regular basis. Looking at the reviews and from personal experience the makers have been aware for years, but recently it has deteriorated that I have gone to a rival just to avoid this. Serves me right for being a tightwad and opting for the free version. I presume that this is just a tactic of the maker to make you pay. They asked me as a result of the above comment to go on a link to comment further suggesting they need to know more about my device. That link is just to a general problem solving device. They can’t even get that right. If they can’t make it run properly on an iPhone with the latest updates installed, then they really do have issues..Version: 7.0.2
✓ Great game, butThe game is really good and relaxing if you are into the game. For some reason though the game seems to give a lot of decks that aren’t able to be solved all the time which is really frustrating. It gives more decks that aren’t able to be solved rather than decks that can be. I understand that it can happen in the actual game a lot but it’s quite annoying how much this game gives them.Version: 7.1.0
✓ Rules evading ads create frustrationI've been playing this game for maybe a year and happy with the game play. I don't mind ads in a few games, but the ads in this game are extremely annoying. The developers claim you can press a button to stop the ad after 5 seconds, but that either just moves you on to the next 5 second part of the ad - possibly several times - or else displays an X to tap if you want to close it, only the target area is an extremely small part of the X. Tap even slightly of centre and it immediately transfers you to their website instead of closing the ad. Is become so frustrating now I'm uninstalling the app and looking for another solitaire app, DEFINITELY NOT from MobilityWare..Version: 7.2.2
✓ Maybe they are listening ... still has flaws and frustartions thoughI previously complained about frequency and inappropriateness of the number of flashing ads. That seems better in the past week. One ad before a new deal is tolerable. Focusing on game play, three flaws. It will default to move cards onto the four stacks, even if you want it on the table in a series to make your next move. It will also default to pull cards of the table onto the piles automatically, even if you will need them later ... so then you may miss move options, unless you bring them back down. When decks are unwinnable, try hint in case you missed something; it will force you to cycle through the entire left over deck again, card by card as a hint, and once you did all that ... oh sorry, no more moves. There does not seem to be a replay same deck option, in case you wanted to try again, figuring you missed something. As far as scores, somebody having a best score of 30 secs is just ridiculous. Stop bothering me with that crap. A person has to be lucky with the cards to finish in two minutes. 30 secs ... I don't think so..Version: 7.5.2
✓ Many positives but spoiltGame play is excellent but would be improved by larger cards. BUT the games is really spoilt by the intrusive adds! Why can’t I buy it and get rid of the adds? For me, the constant intrusion of adds makes me choose other games to play. If I could buy an add free version I would....Version: 5.2.0
✓ AdsLove this game but would be much better if there wasnt an ad after every single game..Version: 6.8.0
✓ App ads. FrustratedWhen the app ads changed it made it hard to touch the x to go back to the game. But, two days ago there is one app I cannot get it to close out. It keeps coming up on the screen as I am trying to play the game. It just happened three times and it didn’t want to leave the page. This is a problem that needs to be fixed. Response to developer I do press the X but there are a few ads won’t work no matter how many times I touch the X. This has happened on both my iPad and iPhone. In order to get out of the ad I have to go out of the game and stop the play in the background. This started happening about two years ago. I have been playing this game since 2011 so I just want to let you know that to X out some of these ads it is not working. Mobility Ware is the only apps that this happens. Just someone is having problems doesn’t mean they don’t know what they are doing. I went fb to complain about another developer and after receiving more than 18 complaints of others that were having the same problems, they started listening to the complaints a fixed it in about one day. They wanted to blame the problem as it was our end and our fault. I don’t know how many people have complained to you about the ads that won’t X out and just keeps running..Version: 7.1.0
✓ Love the game but not liking the changesFirst of all I really do love this game. I’ve been playing it for years. I would highly recommend it. So why only three stars. The stars are for this version only. I use this game as my personal time reward. When I’ve accomplished what needs to get done in the morning I reward myself by playing the daily challenge. But I don’t like the new changes to the sound. I used to love to hear the click of the cards and the trumpet awards at the end of the daily challenge. It was inspiring. Now in order to get those little rewards I have to also listen to the drawn out harp blasts. Sorry but I just find those annoying, not inspiring. I will continue to play this game but I will turn off the sound for most days. Only to turn it on and endure the harp sound on the 10th, 20th and 30th play days. I’m sure this seems silly to many that I’m making a big deal about the sound but again this game is my personal reward for a job well done. If an added feature is interfering in what was once a pleasurable experience I think it should be brought to the creators attention. On your next update please consider creating an extra toggle setting so that one may remove new added sounds whilst still allowing the old sounds be on during play. Thank you..Version: 6.0.8
✓ Good App, recurring fee ridiculous...This is a great Solitaire App but to ask for $12.49 per year to remove ads is crazy. Would be happy to pay a one time fee for the App but a month or annual fee for this type of game is ridiculous. Please provide full buy option like was available before these recurring fees became the norm. After a response from the developer that essentially ignored my question, it is obvious that they have no intention of offering a single pay option to remove ads. This is of course their choice. It is also my choice to suggest those considering this developers apps to avoid them unless they are willing to deal with ads or pay unending fees. To be fair, this developers policy about fees is the same as most developers. They are only trying to make steady income. I wish ALL developers would go back to offering the previous single pay option..Version: 6.8.0
✓ More Work Than PlayThis solitaire game use to be fun and a nice relaxing distraction. Now it feels more like work or a job with constant “events” weekly that keep increasing in the ridiculous number of games to achieve the end goal all for a badge. What was 50 games is now 75. When will the increase cease? If that weren’t enough they throw in “puzzles” to complete which take at least 47 pieces per puzzle. This monotonous week after week grind feels like a job and not a fun game or distraction any longer. One of the last types of games in this events are “time” constraints on 4-5 deals. The times to be met are as low as 1:25 a game. For senior citizens I would say that’s not always doable. I do not understand this need by the game creators for this new “ events” environment. After playing several times the patterns are repetitive and boring. I would not recommend this game to others in its current state. I have submitted my concerns only to be given the brush off in a reply. Apparently they’ve lost touch with what truly matters people and love of the game..Version: 7.7.3
✓ SolitaireWant one using three cards..Version: 7.5.1
✓ Advertising is rediculousI’ve had this app for years, but will be deleting today. The adds are getting longer, many won’t let you shut them until you click on it to take you to another screen, sometimes you have to shut the whole game down and reopen. More recently I’ve been bombarded with gardenscapes advertising which has been deemed as false advertising, I’ve sent complaints and still being bombarded. Playing this game is now just annoying and have found add free versions of the same game for $0..Version: 7.2.2
✓ AdsYour game used to be quite enjoyable, but lately it seems to feature full screen ads (some gunk called "Shalex" is the worst offender) which simply refuse to go away. In fact nothing on the screen is responsive. Home button and repeat the charade until an ad which only takes part of the screen appears. Could you sort thus out? Also, I play the same game on my iPhone without ads and would happily pay to get the same version on my iPad but can't find it in the apps store... All fairly irritating.....Version: 5.2.0
✓ UntrueThey say they don’t have adds on their game. Wrong..Version: 7.1.1
✓ Solitaire adsI’ve been playing this for so long and never gave a review (which would have been 5). BUT recently the ads have gotten to the point that the x to close after viewing the ad has gotten so small that I end up opening the App Store repeatedly instead of going to the next game. I’ve always been fine with the ad model for these games but to make it so difficult to get past them is leaving me debating whether to delete the mobility apps on my devices..Version: 6.9.0
✓ This game sucksIdk how to use it.Version: 8.0.0
✓ An okay but completely ad-ridden Solitaire.The app itself is a fine Solitaire app (as is their Mahjong app), but unless you’re willing to pay for a monthly subscription, every game is prefaced by an ad that more often than not will forcibly take over your audio. If you happen to play these games while listening to something else, or have something more important controlling audio, expect to completely lose control of your audio while an ad plays and have to manually restart or rejoin. I get it, capitalism and the like, but it’s beyond frustrating to be served ads that mean nothing to me that completely stop whatever I have chosen to or need to listen to for up to 60 seconds for some completely worthless advertisement. If Mobility Ware has no control over whether or not ads can demand priority to audio (which seems unlikely), then please pass along at least that any company that does so immediately goes on my blacklist and is the reason why I will be deleting the app, despite otherwise enjoying it and the events challenges..Version: 8.0.0
✓ FreezingSince up,date keeps freezing..blank screen in brown...doesn,t get as far as showing ad..have to cancel game and restart ..been playing happily for many years until Now..Support keeps asking for screen shot...not possible as nothing to show only blank screen .. no help offered...will delete now..... Have reloaded and it’s now worse...what have you done to this fabulous game..support no help I,m afraid..HELP...here we go again..just reloaded it for the second time .....hopeless....blank screen after one game with contact us message in bottom left of blank screen...and guess what ..that did not work...just blank screen and nothing.,.really fed up after years of using this game them after update all these blank screens ..can’t contact help as it does not come up on settings so am stuck with a nothing game which I am about to delete if not rectified.... Game rated 5 ...support help 0....so unfortunately have had to delete as they were unable to solve problem satisfactory..shame as played this game without any problem for many years...Version: 7.0.1
✓ Suddenly gone really glitchyThe game used to work well but just lately it’s been freezing and crashing all the time. When I start a game it hangs for ages waiting for the last card to be dealt, & often in the middle of a game the whole thing shuts down for no reason. Very frustrating! (PS I still find the daily challenges pretty pointless & gimmicky. Wish I could completely turn them off.) The problem seems to be related to playing the game when there’s no wifi or mobile data available. When I have wifi it’s way faster & no crashes..Version: 6.5.0
✓ Used to be perfectI have used the app at least once a day, every day, for years now, but today may be the last time. I love solitaire and it was the first thing I would do each morning, and sometimes last thing at night too. I didn’t mind watching ads because it made them revenue after me using the app for free, but today the ads have become too intrusive. You physically cannot access the menu properly without clicking on ads that open the App Store to download something else, and it’s absolutely ruined the experience. I’m not interested in seeing a generic “thank you for your feedback we’re sorry you’re feeling this way”, I would rather see this removed and fixed as I am no longer wanting to use the app..Version: 6.9.0
✓ Completely unplayableI’ve tried over 30 times to play a game. The first game I played without an issue but since then every other game have stopped not even 2 minutes into it because there is no other moves I can make, I have tried again and again and no matter what I do it always runs out of moves? It’s a dealing error and it’s very frustrating, the game otherwise is wondering it’s got amazing features and I think I would thoroughly enjoy it if i was actually able to play more than 1 game..Version: 7.3.0
✓ Ads are incredibly misogynistic and Mobilityware doesn’t careI’ve had this app for about 2 months and I noticed pretty quickly that I kept seeing ads for other “games” that were outrageously misogynistic. They often depicted women as big breasted caricatures whose bodies were being threatened by animals (a dog attack, an elephant that also was supposed to be in love with her, a swarm of bees), or by other men (a large man reaching out for her with a hungry expression while she tried to get away). In all these “games,” there was always a man there to save her, after which she rewarded him with cartoon love eyes. They also advertise “games” where two cartoon women are staring lustily into each other’s eyes and the player can choose whether they kiss or one pulls the other into the pool. I know it’s a well established and justified stereotype that straight men think all women, including lesbians, only exist on this earth to arouse them, but maybe we don’t need to feed into that delusion on an app for solitaire that claims it’s suitable for children. I’ve reached out several times to the app and the response has been complete disinterest in actually trying to stop this. I’ve deleted the app and I know this will most likely go unnoticed by most, but maybe some parents will see it and move on to another app before they okay it for their children’s’ devices..Version: 6.5.0
✓ Ads high jack my phoneUpdate: I expressed my complaints (in a rude manner I admit) and the developer contacted me promptly and in a very kind manner. I have not yet been able to show them the ads that have been inconvenient for me, but they have been very gracious to give me a way to contact them and stop the issue. I appreciate this. I have used this app for YEARS. I don’t pay the subscription, I have never minded the ads until now. Even when I have my volume on silent (and yes, I have double checked to see if I had it on by accident, I don’t) and an ad will take over with sound and everything, my husband wakes up with a start if I’m playing to relax before I got to bed myself. My husband works hard. He deserves to sleep. And some ads won’t even let me dismiss them I have to restart the whole app just to keep playing. I understand that paying the subscription will remove the ads, but I don’t appreciate feeling strong armed into it by allowing the ads to completely take over my phone. It’s greedy. It’s also been glitching and the cards get stuck mid shuffle..Version: 6.5.0
✓ Freezes or CrashesEach update gets clunkier. App itself takes a long time to launch. If the phone locks/sleeps while waiting too long you then have to start the launch process and wait again. Dealing a new hand always freezes the app and you have to wait for up to a minute or more. Sometimes completely crashes in the middle of the game so you have to relaunch app and start the same hand from the start again. I only play on airplane mode while travelling as a way to chill out and keep busy, but it has definitely tested my patience lately and become very frustrating..Version: 6.4.0
✓ Game LoverI've been playing Solitaire for a very long time, have put up with the very annoying ads knowing that I can cancel them without too much trouble however the recent spate of 'Gumtree' ads has totally ruined the game. There are many times when I can't cancel Gumtree ads and back out completely MANY times and restart without success. This is totally unacceptable and leads me to not only NEVER consider using Gumtree bit also encourages me to look for a different Solitaire App. Get rid of the incessant Gumtree ads or Solitaire will go..Version: 5.0.0
✓ Good game - bad adsI have used this app for years now - good quality and nice customization options. The ads on the other hand are awful. The app professes that it shouldn’t take more than five seconds to get past an ad before being presented with a game. Sometimes it’s true. Occasionally it’s just clicking on an X right away. Several times a year, the ads start getting obnoxious. Sometimes you get past the ad in five seconds only to have to go through two or three more screens, also timed for five seconds or more. Some ads provide no way to exit at all, and you have to shut the app down and go back in to start the game (this bypasses the ad, fortunately). If it’s just an X, even if I have to wait a few seconds, that’s fine. I’ll never respond to any of them anyway, so it’s kind of pointless, but I understand. If I have to jump through multiple hoops to get past them, it’s worthy of knocking a couple of stars off my rating for what would otherwise be a five-star experience. Seriously, guys. If I’m not interested in an ad the first time (or ten) that I see it, I’m definitely not going to be interested the next 2,356 times you show it to me!.Version: 7.5.2
✓ WHAT HAPPENED??I have been a long time player of this great version of Solitaire and I spent many hours trying to solve it. Having set it to win about 50% of the time, I felt ever so clever. Recently it was upgraded and I now had TWO versions on my iPad Pro. I deleted the old one and when I played the new game with eager anticipation I was suddenly confronted with the dreaded advertisements. What happened? I understand the reasons for the commercialisation but it has changed the enjoyment of playing it. I still love it but the ads are a nuisance. I therefore withhold one star. I would pay a modest fee for removing the ads but the option is not there. Slightly disappointed...... 🙁 🤓.Version: 5.0.0
✓ Poor Ad controlI understand that ads are used and needed. But is it necessary to show gross ads constantly? After every game a disgusting ad for a medical game shows. I can’t imagine how people with phobias feel. Sometimes I forget about the awful ads until I finish a game and then I have to close the app...Version: 7.5.2
✓ A simple free game that can cost you a lotOk, so personal error and unfavourable Mobile Data charges are to blame, but let my tale be a cautionary one. Like many I had become accustomed to killing time by playing a few hands of solitaire, largely because it came pre-loaded on every windows pc. Having found [this/a] free app shortly after getting my first iPhone it seemed like an ideal way to kill time waiting for appointments. However, as my talk plan was Archaic at best, the minimal amount of data allowance had never been used up prior to the advent of the iPhone. The data was not capped and additional data usage was charged. Basically BECAUSE it loads an add at the beginning of each new hand. The app uses data even if you are unaware of it doing so. Long-story-short, I ended up with over £100 of unexpected data charges on my phone bill [£11 per Megabyte]. And by the time I had received the bill, and attempted to rectify the situation there were already over £50 of data charges on the next bill. And despite all the years I’ve had and played it, the adds have only become more data intensive and obtrusive, possibly more importantly, it has lost my custom deck designs on multiple updates. Yes my 2 star rating is a little harsh but honestly it’s little better than what was available for free on Windows 3.1....Version: 5.1.6
✓ Getting worseGood game. Is fun and good for quelling some boredom. But it seems to have gotten worse recently. The app has been crashing on certain ads, causing me to have to reset my phone. And the ads have gotten more painful. There are some that give you a quick exit opportunity after 5 seconds but others don’t (usually the same ones that crash my phone.) I like the game but not enough to pay for ad free, so it’s on me I guess. I get that I am paying by watching ads but it’s getting beyond a joke..Version: 7.0.2
✓ Pretty good, but it CAN be better, pretty easily too.I’m alright with the advertisement culture on free games. I get that people gotta make their money to provide services. My issue is simple and could be fixed very simply: Do not stop my music from playing, to play the sounds of your ad. I pay for ad free music because I love music. I love listening to my favorite songs to fit the atmosphere I’m going for, and I love playing solitaire, I’ve gotten pretty good at it. But as soon as you cut off my music to hear your advert, that’s the easiest way to get your app closed and to stop using it for the while. Let me listen to my music. I’ll watch your ads, I understand it, but don’t go the extra mile and stop my music. It’s unnecessary. Do your thing and let me do mine. Make your money and let me do my thing. That’s all. I’ll give it an over half star rating, but this annoys me so much when it happens that I can’t click it higher. Maybe it’s not the dev’s fault. Maybe it’s just the advertisement software they use, but regardless, it still affects me enough that when I opened the App Store and saw my solitaire app, I felt like writing this.Version: 7.0.0
✓ Sadly stopping playingAfter playing both this and Spider Solitaire for over three years, I’m sorry to say that I’ve pretty much reached my limit with this game’s issues, particularly to due with the ads. I usually wouldn’t mind, but in the last month or so, the new style and format of the ads is unbearably disruptive. It always starts the same: a round “loading” symbol takes up half the screen, with no option to skip, and extremely loud music will blare, even if my phone is on silent or my sound is muted. These ads were mostly for the Aussie hair products when they first started appearing but now ALL the ads I see are in this style. I’ve just reached the point where I can no longer put up with it, so after many happy years of playing, I’m finally stopping..Version: 6.7.1
✓ Bad adsThis game allows ads supposedly from celebrities. The celebrity names vary but the ad is the same. They appeared on the Stephen Colbert show but the show ended before the "investment" could be revealed. It is all about something called Bitcoin. People like Justin Trudeau would never be a part of something like this..Version: 6.8.1
✓ Cluttered and pushyI’ve had a love/hate relationship with mobilityware’s card games for years. The actual game play is quite nice, the variety of available card games is good, and the rules configurability is mostly good. It gets confusing between draw 1 and draw 3 or similar options and the daily challenge for a given game, but it’s nice to have that challenge to know that, for instance, a given Klondike game is actually solvable in draw 3 mode (instead of only playing random deals). But all the other features are just a distraction. I don’t want different card backs, or “special events”, or “trophies”, or any of the other junk in there. Each of their games is pushy about getting you to try their other games, and the advertising they use often has incredibly annoying features like tiny hitboxes for the X or next button, or very long timeouts before that button is even available. I would happily pay a small app fee for a simple ad-free solitaire game but the recurring subscription price is just ridiculous, and all of the extra development they do to try to justify the fee is for features I actively dislike..Version: 7.2.1
✓ A couple thingsThe game is just okay. It’s like any other. I paid so I wouldn’t have to deal with ads. I like that I can play multiplayer. I love it in fact. I don’t like when the daily goals thingy pops up after you’ve played a game against someone else. It’s equivalent to an ad and takes forever to get off the screen so I can play the next game. I don’t care about the daily goals, at all. Im there to play and thats it. My app keeps freezing. And if I close out, then go back in later, it freezes on me. Then I have to refresh my phone, re-open app, then it works. I also don’t care for, when you win a game, you have to wait to watch all of your cards go up to the aces, one by one. It takes too long. If we win, just let the next game start. It would be nice if we could play against multiple people at once. Not just one other person. Also, it would be nice if we were put against people of the same skill level. There is no challenge when Im playing against someone who doesn’t challenge me against time. Ill have turned 130 cards and won the game in 1.30 of a minute, against someone who only turned 46-60 cards, No challenge there. I do like when I see that I’ve played against someone before. I recognize their screen name. There should be more of that. It makes it funner..Version: 6.8.1
✓ AdsBecoming more and more locked down by ads..Version: 8.0.0
✓ Lost subscriberI’m a subscriber to this game and have just cancelled my subscription. They seem to have changed something recently so it just stops you winning any games. Even as a subscriber and long-term player, with the little crown logo games, repeatedly block block block block from winning every game. I’ve just played an infuriating ten games on the bounce without a single win, yet again and have given up. As a subscriber, this should not happen. The change seems to have happened within the last two months and I’ve been playing every day to get the daily challenge, but it’s so infuriating when the game keeps blocking you all the time. So after several years of playing and being a subscriber, that’s me out..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Suddenly invasive adsThis has been a must play for nearly two years, every achievement bar master and two years worth of daily challenges (only one point in Game Center). And now, suddenly, half the ads are videos which pop up on full volume, always the same videos of a dog being sick with spaghetti, an iPhone and a guy doing a Rubik’s cube. I didn’t mind picture ads, I didn’t mind when it changed to pretend interactive mini game ads, just waited for them to time out. I didn’t even mind when they kept changing the location of the close button so you accidentally went to the ad store; but the video ads have to go as they are rude, intrusive and sickening watching a dog regurgitate spaghetti. Am reporting the app until resolved too..Version: 5.1.6
✓ What happened?Right, so, I used to play this game religiously. Every day at midnight I would do my daily challenge to make sure I have the gems in the crown and you wouldn’t hear me listen to a bad word against this app. However; the new update has utterly destroyed everything I have built so delicately and lovingly and now there’s barely any point in trying to solve the games through relentless lagging and a different point system. When I first went onto it after the update, a solitary tear fell from my eye for the lost games that will never be played by me. My personal best used to be 785 and now it’s 6,035. I don’t understand and I don’t like it, I’m now in the market for a new solitaire app. Thanks for 2 years of bliss, but NO thanks to the new update..Version: 6.0.8
✓ ReviewWould be outstanding without the pop up ads, they are A real nuisance. Is there a way to download a version without the pop up ads?.Version: 5.0.0
✓ So frustratingI’ve been playing on this app for year. I think close to a decade and before there were ads. I play it daily but I only play two or three games. It’s just enough for me to finish the daily challenges. I don’t mind the ads anymore even though it’s at least 3+ prompts to get through them. But what does keep me from playing more often is the ads start playing sound despite me having my phone on silent. I even have sounds turned off in this apps settings. It’s SO embarrassing when I’m in public like a doctors waiting room. It’s usually dead silent in those spaces. Then when I’m home and attempt to play for a quick second the ads sounds stop my music or podcast that’s playing. It wasn’t always like this so I feel this is something the app developer can turn off. If I could play without the dang ad sounds coming on automatically - I would play for hours a day (I used to) which would probably generate more money for the developer instead of having the ad sounds bypass all my silent features I have on my phone. My average game lasts around 1 minute so that’s an ad every 60-90 seconds..Version: 7.2.2
✓ A real dissappointmentI have played this for a long time now but - no surprises what I am going to say Ads ....🙄🤑 what an insult to all your regular users ... at night they hurt my eyes - I now actually avert my eyes, cover up the ad with my hand and wait until the cross appears - I refuse to even look at what is being advertised and have to be honest I will try and find something else to play ... very dissappointing and a real shame as this used to be a restful app - now it is stressfull ...Version: 5.0.0
✓ No so good nowThe game is ok but fed up too many adverts. One advert at the start is ok but not two. Got fed up with it. Deleted this app now. Adverts a pain but more to the point you cannot decline you either accept or you cannot play. I don’t condone blackmail so I’ll find something else. Just to let you know I’m deleting this app. You have to accept your cookies when that’s not lawful I should be able to reject and continue. Cookie are NOT required by law. Your using them to target users. Well not this lad don’t care if I do like the game. We have to accept everything by you dictators. Your a company that people have to obey or lose out. That was over in 1945 when the dictator Hitler was defeated. You pratts how dare you over rude the silence button on my iPhone you have no right to do this. I was in the doctors turned the silence on and you app burst in to life and made look like right Pratt. When silence button is on that’s what it means to idiots..Version: 7.5.2
✓ Screen freezes when ad plays.Love playing this game but recently every third hand an ad pops up which cant be closed so can’t play any longer. Only way to get rid of ad is to restart iPad. Extremely frustrating. If it can’t be fixed I will delete ap..Version: 7.5.2
✓ Ridiculous RNGI downloaded this a few months ago with the expectation to be able to easily play a few rounds of solitaire whenever i was waiting for something or bored and on my phone. However, this app has proven to me its ridiculous odds of winning by giving me a hand with zero possible moves from the beginning. Not one card could be moved or drawn. The vast majority of games have played out to a point of no possible moves, some getting down to a single card being out of place. My belief is the game is rigged drastically to increase the amount of ads you’re forced to sit through between each game. It’s sneaky and sleazy and ruins most of the enjoyment i could get out of a simple game of cards. However, when you have an actual chance at winning, it is solitaire, and i do enjoy it. 2 stars, bordering on 1..Version: 7.2.2
✓ Something seems offI used to play solitaire multiplayer and you could voice chat with your opponent if you both wanted to. The queue times were long though. Now the queuing is instant as far as I can tell and you can’t talk to the opponent. I’ve put down my phone and came back to it later and started new games vs the same player I had been playing. I think these games aren’t live and are somehow stored to reduce queue times. I can’t imagine someone would sit and wait hours for an opponent to return to a game of solitaire. I’ve also noticed that sometimes the deals I get are not winnable. My opponent can sometimes win very quickly, but I will replay the deal and there is no way to win at all. I’ve done this several times to check. I know it’s just a game of solitaire, but something is fishy about the way it works now. Queue times are short, but I don’t think you are actually playing vs an opponent in real time. Not much point in multiplayer if it’s a sham. I wouldn’t buy it if I were you..Version: 7.0.1
✓ WAY too many ads!Th game is good but the constant stream of advertising interruptions is beyond annoying!.Version: 6.8.0
✓ SOUND ISSUES ???Solitaire by Mobilityware is my ‘go-to’ game each and every day. I have been playing it for years without any issues. Over the last week, the sound effects for the solitaire card games keeps dropping out, usually after an advert that includes sound. The help file suggests closing down other Apps, which I have done, and I have carried out re-boots of my iPad Pro, but after a few minutes of game activity, the sound drops out again. I find it irritating, and the fact I have been playing the daily challenges for years now without any problems, I know when something has a bug somewhere. I hope it gets fixed soon, or I will cease playing..Version: 7.0.3
✓ Okay game but WAY too many annoying ads...and not only are the number of ads annoying but almost every one is a long, two-stage delete process. Fortunately this app is only one-stage delete..Version: 6.7.1
✓ Overwhelming adverts!Solitaire is a good game, but when the adverts come on you cannot get rid of them even when they finish they stay there. This spoils the enjoyment of the game, knowing the adverts are scamming the users of the game by pushing the ads down our throats with us having no way to get rid of them. I click on “see more” and then straight away delete them from where they appear and it goes back to the game. This way I am NOT even remembering who the ads are for. Doing this defeats the purpose of having to see the never ending ads in the first place..Version: 6.4.0
✓ Unrealistic timesUpon completion a game, your score is posted in comparison to the highest score attained in the game. Impressive numbers, but has anyone ever looked at those scores? 120 moves in less than 30 seconds? That means the player was making an average of 4 moves a second (in many games 3-5 moves a second). These numbers are very impressive and completely unrealistic. In fact, those scores are impossible. If you have a problem solving one game, the solution may be a minimum of 160+ moves, but when you finally get a score for that game, you’ll see the highest score has fewer moves — which tells this detective that the highest scores are not at all possible. The ads are distracting and intended to be difficult to ignore. Pay for no advertising? Payment only removes the ads temporarily, as I’ve found out with this company: each time the game was revised, I’ve had to pay to remove the ads (three times now). Why not charge for the game once rather than being forced to pay to remove the ads? The cards move like they are flowing through honey in winter upon reaching using auto complete. My scores in this app are the lowest of any game I’ve played online due to card speeds..Version: 6.0.8
✓ Used to love it. But just don’t bother.I played this game every day. Did all the daily challenges and more. But recently I have been having so many issues I am going to have to delete it and find another solitaire game. I can not count the years I have played this app and will sadly lose all my achievements. But constantly and now more frequently during an actual game it jumps out an add on safari and when I deleted the browser to go back to play my game it then clicks me to an add and I have to watch it just to continue my game. And the clock keeps going as I’m stuck no being able to play. And happens a few time during one game and it’s absolutely ridiculous. I handle all the adds increasing when you pause the game and after every game which has been annoying but to stop me in the middle of my game is my last straw. I thought it was just a freak accident the first few times but I just can’t any more. She frequently added pop ups in the middle are no fun so I will have to say good bye. Find another game that you will actually enjoy and not constantly be interrupted in the middle of your game..Version: 7.6.1
✓ Broken adsGame is fun, ads ruin the experience. Half the time the close/skip ad buttons don’t work at all and instead redirect you to the App Store after first going through safari. I’m just tryna play some solitaire not clear two other unrelated apps that get stuck in ad loops.Version: 6.4.0
✓ Bugs in most adsI like this game very much however there seems to be a bug with the ads. Every 5-6 plays of the game an ad will come and when you try to x out of it I just goes to black and stays there. This happens very frequently. I have to leave the game for a good long time and come back later and hope it clears, or restart my iPad which is an annoyance. I searched all over the app description in the App Store but see no way to report problems privately so I’m forced to write a public comment about this bug. The other problem with the ads on these games is that you have to hit the x in a very precise way or it takes you to the next step for whatever it’s advertising and you have to hit “done” to get back to the page with the x for exiting the ad. However this repeats over and over until you find the sweet spot of the x. This happens in the vast majority of the ads. That is extremely annoying and often makes me just quit the game. The third problem with the ads is that this app allows some advertisers to place the x over a black background so you see no way to exit the ad. I finally figured that out - so you just tap around in the black until you end up hitting where the x is. If not for these ad glitches I would give it a higher rating..Version: 7.7.3
✓ Please go back to the layout before :(Please remove the star from the top left corner or make it that when you tap the screen to make the bottom bar disappear, the star disappears too. It is distracting and hard for me to play this game now when I’m always seeing it there. It really upsets me that you feel the need to keep adding more fancy things. I just want to play solitaire with nothing on the screen in the way. The ability to make the bottom bar go away by tapping the screen is the best thing you did but the star is not. Please please fix it..Version: 6.0.8
✓ DislikeIs rly laggy and also is rly weird notbky fav.Version: 6.7.1
✓ SolitaireGreat game but is it not about time you did away with the adverts....really boils my blood every time your game finishes you get an advert and even when you press no thanks it pops another one up exactly the same am sorry but if a don’t want it the first time am not going to want it .5 of a second later. And before you says buy it advert free when a got the game didn’t sign up for adverts a signed up for the game!!!!! In reply to your reply yes there is an skip option of pressing X in the top corner but is there really any need to have the same advert come up instantly again it’s constantly two adverts before every game....also they are repeated if a dint want it after playing my game am quite sure once I finish my game am not wanting to see it before my next game...it’s actually getting close to harassment!!!!.Version: 6.4.0
✓ Ads are now out of controlI can’t contact these developers, they take you round in circles and don’t provide a contact option, so will leave my feedback on here. I’ve been playing this solitaire game for months now. I accept that ads are part of the free aspect of the game, and they play in between games (each game last no more than 2 mins so ads are very regular). More recently I have been getting a pop up advert mid-game for Apple products which I can’t close down. This is getting ridiculous, and if it continues, will be forced to delete the game. Isn’t is enough to have an ad between every single game without this intrusion mid-game? Totally unreasonable and extremely annoying..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Upgraded to crap.I've played this for years and have the free version. In the beginning the "Welcome Back to the Game Center" banner was translucent and you could see through it and play through it. Then when Apple turned their look from classic to cartoon the banner got cheap and overs the game while the clock keeps running. The advertisements for the most part follow the rules of etiquette and behave. Sadly some act like Microsoft and Windows 10, the STD of software. The X to close it launches it. Some continue to play the audio long after the video is gone and the game is playing. A few just won't die and a close is the only fix. The real draw back to the free version is it can eat a battery due to all the data traffic for the adds. This can eat you phone bill too. The latest software has epilepsy. Cards strobe and change direction. Takes forever to boot. The real question is why did they try to make solitaire exciting? Still don’t see the time and battery wasting value to earn fancy monikers with one more screen before a new hand..Version: 6.4.0
✓ My game is frozenSo I’ve had this game for a week or two now, and at first I had no problem with it. I love the customization options, and the layout of the game makes it easy to learn/play. However, recently there has been major lag and even cases of the game completely freezing on me while I’m playing. I have this app on both my phone and my Ipad (both experience the lag but only the Ipad has frozen completely on me now). In the last few days it has happened, I’ve simply been able to close the app completely and restart it to fix the problem, but now every time I open it the game is just frozen. No matter how many times I close it and reopen it, I cannot click a single thing. I even tried restarting my Ipad in the hopes that this would fix the problem and it hasn’t. This makes me really sad because I love to play it on the bigger screen, and I’m actually worried that the app on my phone is going to start doing the same thing with how much it has been lagging lately. For the moment, I don’t plan on getting rid of the app, but if this doesn’t get fixed (or at the very least looked into) I’m going to just delete the app altogether from both of my devices..Version: 6.5.0
✓ Blaring adds overide volume and sound settings.Beware, this app will send you blaring adds even if you have your sound turned off or your volume set low. Seems obnoxious that an add can just ignore your phone settings. Won’t be using anymore..Version: 6.7.1
✓ MehSolitaire is solid, like windows 95+, but those adds, click off the add, brings you to the App Store, or brings up another “x” with a timer, or the “x” is literally hidden within the add, very obtrusive adds, until I learned how to close some of them , literally the only way was to close the app. I’ve never experienced adds this bad. Edit: all adds close faster if you close the app and re-open. Sometimes it’s the only workaround with adds that won’t open, extremely slow close buttons, or buttons that are literally concealed with in the add. 2nd edit in response to developers 2nd enquire. I’m not going to attempt to fix their crappy game by going to their support page, literally nothing wrong with game, it’s the adds that constantly break it. Easily 25% adds just spin a black screen. I’m sure one of the developers owns a phone, check it for yourselves, so lazy. 4th edit, I’ve deleted the app, any attempt to close advertising brings up my web browser, my spare time is more valuable then watching some stupid ads , this is by no means an amazing game that would warrant paying to keep ads away. Pretty sure this game is loaded with data mining programs, STAY AWAY!!!.Version: 7.1.0
✓ Does anyone from Mobilityware monitor this app?Terrible setup as sometimes the ads just wont go away. This just means this app drives you crazy!! Advertising is driving me crazy. Please delete ads that don’t load properly Now I’m getting ads in Asia symbols/language why??? Can someone please disable the foreign language advertisements. These are highly suspicious and endanger players from having personal information hacked by clicking on ads without knowing what you are clicking on!.Version: 6.8.2
✓ Scam for Ads, Poor Scoring SystemI used a different app for Solitaire before. I couldn’t find it when upgrading phones so I downloaded this app. Point? It’s not my first time playing Solitaire. I find this app frustrating. It appears to be geared to make the user fail early so that the user can start a new game earlier…..thereby watching more ads. The scoring…..a terrible mess. On the game screen there’s a tally of your score in the hundreds. When a game is completed, a new screen pops up with game stats. That new screen has a different scoring system due to some weird multiplication making the score in the thousands. Low thousands. It compares your score to some score in…..I have no idea where or why….but this benchmark score is close to 30,000. Did I ask for this benchmark? No. The old app compared my score to the best score of the day by me or who ever used my phone to play the game that day. It is no fun for me to play against someone who I don’t know. Plus, I’d like to remember my score. Due to the change from hundreds to thousands, I can’t make heads or tails of it so I can’t keep track of my score. I want to beat myself, not some mystery person on the internet. My only choice is to delete this app and try another app which I will probably do..Version: 8.0.0
✓ Advert after advertPlaying random shuffle and often only do 30 secs of play before I figure out it isn’t a winning deal. So every 30/40 secs a new ad plays, often 2 at a time to close before I can play again , often they aren’t closeable n I have to restart.. which means again more ads. Happy to get advertising but the amount of ads is here is just terrible and way more than average..Version: 5.2.0
✓ The worst kind of adsThe game itself is fine. The classic solitaire experience. The ads however the the most obnoxious kind. I understand that ads are necessary to fund a free game, but do they have to be so awful? To be honest, when an add annoys me this much I’ll make a point to never use what ever is being advertised. They are bright and flashing in stark contrast to a relaxing game of solitaire. The worst part however is the sound. I’d love to play while I nurse my baby in the middle of the night but loud music suddenly plays without warning even if my phone is on mute. I’ve had enough and won’t be playing any more..Version: 6.4.0
✓ Out-of-Control Potato AdsLook, I understand ads. The ads are generally pretty tolerable. However, in my recent playing, I have encountered an immense amount of potato ads, and usually I can handle the occasional Idahoan ad between deals; however I am getting an ungodly amount of Idahoan potato ad popups during my rounds. I stack two cards, and lieu and behold, I am presented with an intolerable potato ad. It is ruining my scores. I want to break my own personal record, but alas, I am rudely interrupted with yet another Idahoan potato ad. I don’t even like potatoes that much. Potatoes are aggressively average. Ask me 24 hours ago and I would’ve given this game a 5-star review. I enjoy the quality of play and the daily challenges - I just simply cannot tolerate the potato ads anymore. I an 16 years old. I don’t need to see potato ads. My mother is the one who goes to the grocery store. Potatoes don’t matter to me. Please fix this so that I can continue to fuel my solitaire addiction free of Idahoan potato ads🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.Version: 7.0.3
✓ Quite distraughtHello, i am living with depression and anxiety. The only things that get me through the day is playing your lovely game of solitaire, now to my dispare I cannot go back more than a month. I have only been playing your game for about a couple weeks but it has helped me through so much. And I have gone back multiple months and now I cannot. I actually don't know what to do with my life now. Any chance we can bring back the option to play the previous months. Even if it's only the year. Would mean more than anything. Thank you so much.Version: 7.0.2
✓ Just awfulUsed to be a great go-to Solitaire game. The ads have ruined it. Evonne is one of the worst. It either crashes the game and you have to reload it, or you can watch the King get fried, frozen, drowned or drilled for at least 30 seconds for the 1000th time. You could try hitting the “x”, but half the time it’ll just open a link to the App Store. I guess the developers of that lame game believe they can trick you into downloading it. There are other bad ads, can’t identify them because you just get the black or white or blue screen of death, and yep, time to reload. Then when you actually have a game going, the lag can be over 10 seconds before the next card can be turned over. That’s absurd! It’s Solitaire for crying out loud, not a 3D hi-res action game. Just terrible how you’ve let this app deteriorate. My internet speed is 5 ghz so it’s not on my end. Other apps run just fine. And you can actually close their ads after 5 seconds. Your claim that you can do so used to be true, now it’s just laughable. Well, it’s free so I shouldn’t complain. I only do so because it used to be fun to play without all the aforementioned inconveniences. Sorry to have to delete this app after years of playing it..Version: 7.0.3
✓ Misleading and misrepresenting adsI literally just downloaded this game only to come across an add in the top portion of the display. It was a set of icons, set out to represent icons that would look exactly like it in the game. There was a mail icon with a notification symbol on it. Too my disbelief it took me to a page claiming I had won a Mac Donald’s give away or sumn. So thanks to the careless ads being put up by the devs, some scammers probably have my IP and I’d be lucky of they didn’t find anything else. You’d think it’s common sense to check the ads on your game before you give them out to everyone playing it (I’m relatively young and do not and have not fallen for any ad trick before, this was shifty.).Version: 7.3.0
✓ Constantly freezingConstantly freezes, have to restart app to work again, then it just freezes again..Version: 6.4.0
✓ Good, fun, love the customization, but BIG issues with energyI don’t know why, but this app drains my phone (iPhone 6S Plus) battery like no other. It also causes my phone to overheat (I know, I tested it- I don’t have exact numbers on hand as I’m writing this, but it drops drastically in at least 5 minutes and starts to heat up almost immediately on start-up). I’m not sure why it drains the battery so bad and overheats my phone while my iPad 3 plays the app without the slightest problem... it doesn’t seem like an issue due to there not being enough space or memory (both of my devices have at least 15 GB free); this might just be a problem with the latest version then, considering the previous ones (at least as far as my iPad 3 could update) worked excellently. The app itself works fine and is rather fun, especially with the daily challenges and such, but the energy drainage and overheating makes it an issue for me. I do love the ability to customize as well as the challenges, so I’ll give this a 3.5/5; sorry, it is really fun for me and I do love this app, but it’s a no-go as far as keeping it on my phone. I’ll still play the version I have on my iPad, but, yeah, the overheating and battery killer is too much..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Getting more ads than gameHave enjoyed playing this game for a while now but the ads just get increasingly intrusive. First it’s the audio to them which you can’t always mute. If listening to music at the same time, it interrupts what you’re listening to and doesn’t always resume after clearing the ad so you have to manually come out and restart your music. Then the ads themselves are supposed to be around 5 seconds long but that’s usually just the first section which you then have to X out of before reaching the next ad section to do the same with and at that point it tries to open to App Store so you can download the advertised game and you have to come out of that too before finally being allowed to leave the ad altogether and get on with playing the game you actually wanted to play. Now, even on silent mode on my phone, the audio plays on some ads at full volume leading to a mad scramble to silence it as fast as possible when I’m a quiet area. I’ve finally had enough and will be deleting the game thanks to this..Version: 7.5.2
✓ Great solitaire but deleting because of ads!I am all for ads. I don’t mind paying for a game that I enjoy as much as I do this version of solitaire. But you have to pay $10/yr to remove ads. One time yes but no game us worth paying for, that has my info and can keep renewing as it will. I loved this version. Best out there! It was fine when it had ads before. They were short and sparse and you could click out. Now after it takes a while to play, you have to keep clicking out at least three or four screens to close the ads. You cannot just hit the nice little X. Oh no. It will keep popping back to the ad and on the third try it will close. I have a stressful job. This game brought me down from that in the evening. Not any more. Not worth the added stress and irritation. One time ad fee sure, but no way on a renewing one. Sorry developers, it was a bad choice based on all the other recent reviews you had. Look how great the reviews were in the beginning. Mine was one of them before. You have a great game, don’t ruin it!.Version: 6.9.0
✓ Hate the new SolitaireBought a new phone and not going to play solitaire again. So different from my old phone solitaire, on this one it just put cards up to the top eg I drew 4of hearts and put it on top of 3 of hearts then 5th and 6th of hearts jump up there too, I want to do that I don’t want things to happen automatically, also now the game used to finish I could just get another game but solitaire puts it back to the beginning so you have to wait, also there’s long ads in between games now. Shame but after playing it for years I don’t like it now.Version: 7.2.1
✓ Mobilityware SolitaireThe changes made to the appearance and operation of the game in April 2023 very much detract from it. I probably will delete the game..Version: 7.3.0
✓ Since the update...IN RESPONSE TO DEVELOPER: No, I have never had any other version of this App. The exact same no matter which device I have had (every single version of the iPhone except 5s). I go to "Purchased," scroll down to the very bottom, and there is the App. Never once have I ever noticed ads. If there were ads, it was out of the way. NOW they are FULL SCREEN and cannot be skipped. The first time it happened (after the update on my new iPad Pro 12.9) there was a streaming issue (I guess) because there was nothing except a never ending circle. I had to hard shut off the iPad to close it. Regardless, because of this (and that this has never once happened since the iPhone 3G) I have deleted the App and will not reinstall until this is fixed. I was with you guys since the very beginning, so this has been very disappointing for me. This was one of the few Apps that I first downloaded that are still around and still works (at least it DID work). No more. Unbelievable. I’ve had this App since the beginning, since the iPhone 3G, and it has ALWAYS been my go too App for passing the time. No more. Every update has been great, with many good and new features that has made this App stand the test of time. Now, though, the moment I start a new game, FULL SCREEN ADDS! Such a disappointment. Years and years of loyalty down the drain. DELETED....Version: 5.1.0
✓ UpdateDon’t like the update it sucks..Version: 7.1.1
✓ Great game but a number of annoying flaws that remain unaddressedI’ve been playing this game for many years and can definitely say it’s one of the better versions within the store, but with playing it for so long I can’t not highlight some niggly but annoying flaws which all seem to surround the use of adverts. You can have no issues with ads being shown and happily be playing a game then there’s an add that comes along and blips the performance of the whole site. Screens freeze, performance reduces to a crawl, touch response becomes slow (sometimes zero). I’ve even had instances where I’m mid game and a soundtrack from an advert is playing over my game…it’s just bizarre lol. I get the user of advertising and have no issues with other but you shouldn’t be allowing to impact the performance of you apps. Surely this can be fixed in a flash?.Version: 7.0.3
✓ Latest changes are not appealingI've had this game for years, but there is something in the most recent changes that is hurting my eyes, especially when looking through the deck... Also, the changes make it look and feel like every other solitaire game out there. I've kept this one for so long because it wasn't like the others... UPDATE Thankfully the deck flip that hurt my eyes seems to be fixed (or I got used to it). However, the game now takes an obnoxiously long time to load. In the past I could open it and play a game or two within just a few minutes. Now it takes that much time just to open. And once it opens I then have to wait longer for the deck to fully load. And sometimes I think it loaded, but nothing happens when I tap the cards, so I wait even longer until that first card moves. That’s when I know I can play... Unfortunately the look and feel of this game is still so much better than others out there that I feel stuck with it..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Enjoyable but….updateSorry, I had to remove this game because when a certain ad plays then the screen goes black. Perhaps you would like to monitor the game as I like it very much and would like to download it again. I’ll try again in a few days. Have downloaded the game and I haven’t seen the ad since, fingers crossed as this is one of my favs. Now getting a pop-up in the app saying there is an update, do I want it YES/NO? I have checked in Apple app updates and there are none?.Version: 7.2.0
✓ New lookThat’s me finished - just thought I’d add a point before I press delete . It’s pretty poor that there has been little to no feedback from the developers in response to most of the observations /comments/ feedback on this latest version - this version has slowed the game down to a snails pace which when coupled with the incessant adverts makes playing tedious . It’s a shame as it WAS a great little game. Please change this app back to the previous version before the update - or I will need to find a different version . Sorry but I really, really really dislike this new look . It’s clumsy, clunky and the update doesn’t enhance the game . It’s almost as if the graphics have gone back a few years . I am a bit tired of the number of adverts too to be honest - i know you need to generate income but it’s every hand now. It’s a shame because I’ve played this for such a long time but now I can’t be doing with it. I I’ve tried to get used to the new version but it’s just not happening for me. It’s no longer as smooth and it’s nigh on impossible to get a decent score ....... it is definitely feels a lot slower when playing it.Version: 6.0.8
✓ Ads are a painI have had this game since I got my first iPad and love it - enjoy doing my Daily Challenge very much. The only trouble is the ads!! The ads are now so long and so aggravating, it really takes away the enjoyment of the game - particularly Candy Crush! The new thing lately is that you wait for the cartoon to finish to get the ‘x’, then have to wait again to get the next ‘x’, then when you finally get to the game there is a strip advert for Candy Crush which sits across the bottom of the screen right on top of the game controls! The only way to get rid of it is to completely close the game, which more often than not I don’t bother re-opening. I have always promised myself that one day I will pay for the game to get rid of the ads but it turns out that has changed and they now want you to pay monthly. Seriously? Do people really do that?? Not this one! When I am sufficiently bored I will just change to a different company. It’s a shame because this would be five stars for the game itself..Version: 6.8.1
✓ Ad after adThis game is filled with ads. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!.Version: 6.7.1
✓ Longtime user - GET A DIFFERENT APPHad this solitaire app since at least 2018, and I never minded the ads too much. Today, I played for the first time in a while and I thought “hey, maybe I’ll pay to get an ad free experience” but that’s when I found out that you must pay 2.49 MONTHLY for no ads. There’s no chance replicating a several hundred year old game on a phone should net you 2.49 monthly from a user. 2.49 for a one time purchase? Sure. 2.49 monthly? Seriously scummy. There’s a plethora of other options on the App Store, I’m happy to find one that doesn’t try to leech off my wallet 12 times a year..Version: 7.1.0
✓ This Game Ruined My Life.After I installed this game I became quickly addicted. I reckon personally I have over 6500 hours in Solitaire. My wife and I are avid gamers on our family tablet. And our two kids are too old to play with it now. My wife recently noticed an increase in time I spent on the family tablet (samsung) (i have an orange case) She noticed this increase in playtime approximately 8 months ago. Since then we have filed for divorce, and she wants to take up to 50% of what I had because we were together for 45 years. She additionally has asked to take my dog that I have had for 9 years named Ohio. Please take from my review to NOT install this game. Heed my warning! It will ruin you. Epa..Version: 7.5.1
✓ Daily challenges disappoint, sometimes!I really enjoy this game on the whole. However some daily challenges are very frustrating and annoying. Obviously you know it is possible to come out, however rather than skill or judgement some games seems entirely based upon luck! I have come across at least one (sometimes more) when you get stuck very quickly. It strikes me that these challenges are more about what you choose to do (cycle the lack, use the lack cards or the main cards) thus, for me it removes any kind of knowledge or skill from the game and becomes more ‘if you happen to chose the correct path!’ For me this spoils the game. Surely it should be about spotting what an be done at the earliest opportunity and then as you progress using some skill to move card up and down from the pile to enable you to come out. Most recent example of this is 19th July. Very frustrating and I’ve tried many many time’s, just can’t get the ‘sequence’ right. Surely that’s not skill, it's just luck??.Version: 6.6.0
✓ Love It and Hate ItOf all the solitaire games this has been by far my favorite. I only have 2 frustrations that I really wish they would look in to. 1) The ads - now I am not asking you to remove them. I get why they are there before the start of each game. But so many of them freeze in the middle or when you click the x that finally shows up. Then you have to leave the game and go back in. Frustrating. 2) The “3” day weekend event where if you win 15 hands you get a special card of a famous landmark. The problem, it says you get 3 days which would be 72 hours (usually starting on a Friday). I should be able to play 5 games per day. But you truly you don’t. Each time I play I start around 7am Friday and by 7am on Sunday the event is over - that is 2 days, 24 hours. I understand 72 hours would be Monday, but if it is 3 days to complete it should be Midnight Friday to 11:59 Sunday. I have lost so many events by 1 or 2 games because of this. Frustrating..Version: 7.0.3
✓ As removalThe amount of ads is ridiculous. Obviously all about the money and not the product. A subscription to remove the ads is bit of overkill for a app like this. Would do a one off but refuse to have a subscription for this. I will look at a different solitaire there isn’t a shortage of them in the App Store..Version: 7.3.0
✓ Data collection updateI have been using this app for as long as I can remember, have just updated it only to find I can’t use it unless I agree to them collecting data. No opt out, no choices about what data, just accept or don’t use it. Fine, I won’t use it anymore - have just deleted it and will find another solitaire app! You’ve been happy to collect and use my data for well over 5 years, without my consent, and now you stop me using it when you finally ask and I say no. You can keep your app, I don’t need it. I don’t mind adverts (if the game is worth the interference), but I don’t want them targeted at me based on your AI’s biased assumptions as to what I might like. Just give me good old random ads thank you. Oh, what’s that? You won’t. Well goodbye then..Version: 6.0.8
✓ Game is OKKeep getting pestered to write a review for this game, so here we go. The game is OK, nothing special. The adverts are what make this game frustrating. They mangle the sound, cause the game to stutter and lag, and some of them need vetting before being allowed to be posted. By association this game claims to be able to solve crooked backs for old people in minutes. Probably yes, I should pay for the game and get rid of the adverts but I am not wedded enough to the game to spend money on it. I would have kept this to myself were it not for the constant desire for the game begging me for a review. It has some nice features however, the graphics are nice as are the animations. There are also adverts that pop up by themselves and hog the sound, so even when you are playing the game the sound is still playing. Finally, the frame rate of the game seems to be getting worse. The game stutters and jerks as it tries to move the cards from one part of the screen to another..Version: 7.0.2
✓ Fun game, BUT…I enjoy this version of solitaire, but I think it’s preposterous to expect people to pay $1.99 a MONTH to essentially “rent” the ad- free version of the game, especially considering that solitaire is literally free on any Windows PC, and has been for 30 years. What makes it worse is many of the ads appear to be for THIS DEV’S games, which means they’re essentially forcing you to waste time watching the set-duration video ads for THEIR OWN GAMES. Like, c’mon, just give us the splash screen version of the ad instead of holding us hostage because we don’t want to pay up to $24 a year to not see ads for your other games! If they had just made it a one-time purchase outright to go ad-free, I would have paid for it, happily, because as I said, it’s a fun version. To further complicate the ads issue, I only use this game app on my iPad, which I typically only use when sitting in doctor’s offices or waiting rooms and don’t have access to Wi-Fi. I have noticed an alarming trend that when I don’t have access to the internet (my iPad is Wi-Fi only), I get dealt a higher series of unwinnable hands, and then the moment I return home and have Wi-Fi—bam! I start winning again. I like the game, as I said, but this mess with the ads is making me think about just using a different app altogether..Version: 7.2.1
