Solitaire· Wiki

One of the reviews said he played this game to get points for another game and after playing 100 games he couldn’t even win one. I don’t know what level he’s playing but I just played this game. Single card and I beat the first game thinking it was going to be hard. It was the easiest game ever and I played a few more just in case and still won. I don’t know if maybe they think they know how to play solitaire or was just wanting to write a bad review but it’s not that hard and I didn’t even need the undo button. You don’t need all the cards on a like from King to Ace. Start putting some cards on the top of the screen. Might make your life easier

I play like three games every night before bed. It’s my way of winding down. But now, instead of just running short, minor ads in between games, there is also a banner that runs at the top while you play. Sometimes they’re animated and distracting. I wish it only had the ads in between games. I really dont like the banner, but I get it if you guys need the money. Also There is now a shuffle/hint option at the bottom of the screen. These are cool features, but I wish there was a way to hide that bottom bar while I play the game (kind of like the how you make the toolbar hide, when not in use, on Macs or Windows). I find the bubbles on the “hints” and “shuffles” remaining to also be distracting. That’s a symptom of living in this modern era of push notifications. I hate those bubbles with numbers in them and I’m the sort of person to clear them as soon as they present. Earlier update was a solid 5 stars. These updates make me give it a 4 now.

UPDATE: May 2018: upgraded from 2 to 4 stars Significant improvements since 2017, Most important being reduction in ads impeding play of the game, and improved flow of the actual play. You no longer have to wait a significant period of time and endure a number of obnoxiously loud ads before playing a new game. The win percentage has also increased, Further reducing the percentage of time waiting for ads as opposed to playing the game. The features of this ap are better than other solitaire games are making this a recommendation at this time. If there is a return to a system that appears tvmanipulated to force you into an artificially high number of ad plays, I will delete this ap and downgrade to 1 star. 2017 REVIEW ADS: I have found that my percentage of wins is higher using a standard deck of cards, which to me is suspicious, since when you lose you have to endure another ad before playing another game. That is in addition to the banner ads which can be clicked accidentally. Given how short the actual game is, the percentage of time watching ads is unacceptable, making the game more frustration than fun. TECHNICAL: for the above reasons I have Limited playtime, but I have not had any technical difficulties with the app.

Hi! Love the app, have picked it up quite a few times over the years and have had a blast each go. This year I had a deal pop up for the subscription and it was 1000% worth it, in my opinion. That’s caused me to play even more! But I have one qualm now. For an app that prides itself on having been around for over 20 years and having the most downloads, I was shocked to discover there’s no background for Pride month! I know this isn’t a major request, nor something many Straight fans would care to see (and yes, they’ll probably be outraged and upset for no reason as it wouldn’t affect them in any way, but that’s just how Straight, non-ally folks respond to rainbow content in June-only June). But as a queer player, it’s nice to see support from the companies that I spent countless hours supporting and recommending to friends. I’m aware I can upload a background myself. But that’s not the same as something from the developer themselves. I mean, the background for June’s monthly challenges is a soccer field... A rose background was introduced around Valentine’s Day. A small gesture would go a long way. It doesn’t even have to be extravagant! Just a suggestion, that hopefully doesn’t fall on deaf ears. And if so, I’d rather not have to take my business elsewhere, but alas! It’s nice to be supported and recognized just as much as the rest of the world, the rest of the holidays. Thanks! :)

I don’t know what happened or why things changed, but the app has gone down hill in the last few weeks. It is soooo slow and glitchy. It is not as responsive when I click on the deck for a new card or to drag a card to a new spot. It lags and takes an extra 10 seconds. This has sapped so much of the relaxing fun out of the app for me. I love this app when I started playing on a long cross country flight with no shows/good books downloaded. I quickly became a little obsessed with it and it successfully helped me quit my Twitter habit :) Instead if scrolling Twitter before bed or sitting in carline, I would play a few games of solitaire. Sadly with the latest update and horrible lag time/glitches, I find the whole thing more annoying than relaxing. It is so frustrating. Please look into why this happens and try to fix the bugs. I also hate the new menu at the bottom with hints and shuffle buttons. Super annoying and unnecessary. Two months ago I’d have given this 5 stars, but no longer. Please fix it!

I do like this game & I don't think there are too many ads. I play 3 card draw and I find it challenging but not impossible to win. However, when I've reached a point in the game where I feel it's not win-able I'd like to be able to get confirmation that there are no more moves. If I use a hint, the game will always send me to the deck if there are still cards there, even if none of them can be used. I don't know if I just don't understand the hints correctly or what but I'm quite sure that I've gotten to the point where there are no more useful moves and the hint seems to indicate that I should keep flipping cards. I'd also like to be able to listen to my own music while playing but the ads get in the way of that. Like I said, I don't mind the ads, I even opt to watch the extra ads to earn hints & reshuffles even though I rarely use those options (I've accumulated over 2000 of each) but I'd like to hear my own music while the ads run.

I absolutely love this game. Until I don’t. Three times now, I’ve played until I’ve earned various decks, completed missions, accumulated hints & shuffles then it stops opening on me. I’ve restarted my phone; tried for days to open the app, only gotten a blank screen. At that point I have no other choice but to delete the app and start at square on again. I know it’s about to happen when opening the app begins to get slower & slower, and my dread begins sinking in. This glitch really needs to be fixed. Either that or stop making all of a user’s data disappear when they no longer can get the app to function when they’ve made a month or so of progress. Otherwise, I’d give it all 5 stars. My advice to new users is to never do in-app purchases because you’ll be throwing your money down the toilet when the app stops running on you.

Far too many ads than is reasonable for a solitaire game, which is supposed to be relaxing and an escape from tedium, not something that bombards you with commercial messages that you have to spend your valuable time waiting through and in which you have zero interest. The ads are annoying and interrupt the flow of the game - and whatever slight reverie you might have derived from gameplay. The plethora of ads (between games and the continuous banner ads during games) make me want to either use this game very seldom — or delete this game entirely and find a less ad-infested solitaire app, which is something I‘ll probably do in the near future. That‘s really too bad because the actual solitaire part of the app is very nicely done and plays well. Recommended only if your patience for ads is higher than average.

I can play the daily challenges and regular games and have a win rate of about 80% within three deck flips. As soon as you enter Vegas mode the game just throws impossible to win matches at you. Doesn’t matter if you’re on amateur, novice, expert or above. Playing the Vegas mode games I find myself winning maybe 5-10% of the time. Very clearly the developers just want you to lose your points so you have to buy some from the store. Yes I understand that you put up your points to play, but when you can go 15-20 games in amateur in a row with never winning and MAYBE breaking even on a round, you can see how crap Vegas mode is. I’ve also made it through a few full games in Vegas mode where there wasn’t a single move to be done. Make your money from the ads, don’t purposefully cheat players out of hard earned points just to make a quick buck.

I constantly find myself having to reopen the app because it has glitches out in some way. Sometimes the numbers blend into the cards around it, sometimes a card doesn’t reveal properly, sometimes it just freezes. And then, recently, I experienced a new, more frustrating glitch. I had 2 cards in the deck and 2 unrevealed cards. So, I should’ve only been missing 2 cards; the unrevealed ones. However, there were 3 missing cards. I tried everything to see if I was missing something and even sent photos to friends. But there was simply no way to proceed because 1 card was missing and I couldn’t complete the game without it. So now I’m wondering how many times, when I have to start over, is due to me not making the correct moves and how many times it’s because the game glitched out.

I really want to like this game but what ruins it is the pointless challenges and ridiculous amount of ads. Every time I play a challenge that requires multiple wins in a row the game does everything it can to make sure that it’s impossible to do unless you feel like playing hand after hand for hours at a time. It’s the worse on the last win you need. It never changes I’ll have one more win and the stupid game refuses to give it to me. That to me is just lazy. Mix it up so it’s not so repetitive and you don’t get the same hands so much. I will constantly recognize hands that I have just beat and they pop up a lot. The worst part of this game are the ads. They’re always the same and a lot of them require you to answer questions and until you do you can’t close them. It’s really annoying especially when you’re trying to beat a hand in a rush and one of these stupid ads with questions pops up and takes time away from the hand. It should be very hard to make a solitaire game frustrating and somehow this game was successful at doing exactly that. I’m gonna try another solitaire app.

I’ve had this game for a long time, a few years on a few different devices, and never before have I ever just quit a game due to the sheer obnoxiousness of an ad. It’s a grey bar with a single blinking Mail icon in the center, and if you click it, it takes you to a ridiculous “Congratulations, you’re a winner!” pages. Are you serious? You sold ad space to a pop-up scam? And if you don’t click the ad, the player is forced to see it blinking furiously in the most aggravatingly distraction way possible? This is what you’ve become? Your whole business model is you annoy us or you try to screw us with a scam? No. You wanna screw us? To hell with that. Screw you. *Edit - So you made an app, and you can’t even regulate what ads you play? Pathetic. I’d give you another chance, if I felt for one second that you were being sincere. Thankfully, I deleted the app right before I left my review. Have fun with your business model of aggravating people until they delete your app as well.

I usually enjoy myself a fun game of Solitaire, but this app made that experience nearly impossible. The “Hint” feature this app provides does nothing if there are no moves left in the game, which it does not inform you, and so you may just waste your time racking up moves before you start a new game. The rate at which I found games unsolvable, even when utilizing the undo button, was astounding. I also had the unfortunate experience running into a somewhat explicit ad depicting content not suitable for all ages, and had to report the ad. Given complaints I have seen about other intrusive ads, it is very clear that there is not an effective pre-screening process for the ads that can be shown on this app, and I am very disappointed that anything like it was able to be shown in a game with a +4 rating. Either change the age rating on this game, or insure your ads are free of scams and depictions of inappropriate content.

I have been using this app for a long time. I was great. I don’t have a problem with the banner ads (it’s a free game and ads are inevitable), but this Progressive ad has to go. Unlike banner ads, this Progressive ad is actually on the cards and changes the appearance of the whole app. This is really annoying and can easily be substituted with a video ad in between rounds or a banner ad. The Progressive ad is unnecessary considering there are also banner ads playing as well. Not only is it unnecessarily annoying, it is a stupid ad - have a picture of Flo and a sign saying Progressive is a terrible ad. It doesn’t tell you anything about the product, there is no link to the Progressive website, and no information to hook the customer. All this is compounded by the way the ad changes the appearance of the game in a negative way that actually turns the consumer off of both Progressive and the app. **A banner ad or video ad for Progressive would be a much better substitute** because it would actually deliver information relevant to the consumers, it could have a link to the Progressive website (allowing you to actually generate business), and most importantly it delivers this information in a manner that does not effect the playability of the app or effect the appearance. Please change this. It harms both the playability of the app and Progressive.
