Recurring themes

Excessive Ads negative
The most prevalent complaint is the overwhelming number of ads, which appear frequently (after every game, multiple times per game, or every 60-90 seconds) and are often long, disruptive, and difficult to close, sometimes requiring an app restart. Many users feel misled by claims of 'no ads'.R4R10R12R18
Performance Issues negative
Users report the game has become slow, laggy, and prone to freezing, especially after recent updates. This significantly impacts the gameplay experience, particularly for timed challenges. The developer's notes mention 'fixed a couple of bugs' but recent reviews contradict this, indicating ongoing performance problems.R5R8R7R25
Lack of Ad-Free Option negative
Many players express a willingness to pay for an ad-free version but are frustrated that no such option is available.R16R18R75R92
Forced Interruptions negative
Beyond just ads, users are annoyed by constant prompts to update, download other games, or being locked out of gameplay to force an upgrade.R11R19R22R26
Enjoyable Gameplay positive
Despite the issues, many users still find the core Solitaire game fun, relaxing, and a good way to pass time.R2R3R9R13

Who it's for

This app is for users who enjoy classic Solitaire and don't mind frequent, intrusive ads and potential performance issues R2R3R14R20. It is not for users seeking an ad-free experience or a consistently smooth, uninterrupted game R10R18.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly concerning ads and performance. While there are still positive reviews, they often praise the core game without addressing the recent issues, or they are older reviews. The developer's notes mention bug fixes, but recent user feedback directly contradicts this regarding freezing and lagging.

  1. [R2] 5/5 · US Solitaire: Great game
  2. [R3] 5/5 · US Fun: Great game
  3. [R9] 5/5 · US Solitaire: The game is fun and keeps you on your toes
  4. [R14] 5/5 · US Great game: I enjoy playing this game for hours
  5. [R20] 3/5 · US Plenty of Ads: Loved the game, very fun with nice animations, however I deleted the game, the ads got to be too much, I would get an ad after I finished a game, then it would display my score then make me watch another ad before I start another game! They are double dipping!
  6. [R79] 5/5 · US Great gsme: This is a really fun solitary game. Great animation.
  7. [R202] 3/5 · US Out of Control Ads: The game works fine and I like the customization but waaayyy too many ads
  8. [R4] 3/5 · US Liar ! Ads Ads Ads . No ads is a lie !: I played 2 games & had to wait on a Ad to finish - to play another game - just like games that don’t promise no ads !
  9. [R10] 2/5 · US Excessive ads: There are so many ads that the game is becoming unplayable.
  10. [R12] 1/5 · US Ads: Too many ads
  11. [R18] 3/5 · US Great app but WAY too many ads: I’d love to pay to remove them but the app doesn’t support that. I’ll finish a game, have a pop up ad play, then after the ad ends I’ll click “New Game” and get another ad. Two ads within 30 seconds and one button press is insane. I appreciate that they keep the app free for us to use but I’d literally give my own money to have a more seamless app experience here. R
  12. [R5] 1/5 · US Bogs down: I purposely seemed this particular game out because I loved it so much when I first downloaded it onto my IPad but now it’s a pain to play. It is extremely slow and locks up. I suppose I will have to search for something else =(
  13. [R8] 2/5 · US Freezes: I would rate this game 4 or 5 stars but it has become really slow and laggy. I enjoy the “Journey” challenges so the freezing and lagginess makes the timed challenges very frustrating. Please fix asap. Thank you.
  14. [R7] 3/5 · US Lagging lately: I love this game. It used to go faster. Lately it seems like the cards get stuck. I even updated my phone thinking it was that but the cards are still sticking. Also too many ads.
  15. [R25] 1/5 · US Update: The game is slow and freezing now
  16. [R15] 2/5 · US Can’t play multiple times: I had to close the app each time I left it or finished a game in order to get the ads to go away.
  17. [R39] 1/5 · US Ahhh look Ads!!!: It would be ok with the ads, but they lock you out of returning to the game. What happened to just a good ol fashioned solitaire?!
  18. [R42] 3/5 · US Low quality: The ads are abundant and I cannot exit off of them. Instead I have to close and re-open the app a million times. Seems buggy.
  19. [R49] 1/5 · US One game then stuck in ads: After playing a single game you will get stuck in an ad with no apparent way to dismiss except restarting the app. So annoying!
  20. [R40] 1/5 · US Lies nothing but lies: It states that there are no annoying ads. As soon as I finish the game we went right to an ad. It states they’re not annoying however not only did it take me to an ad when I got back to the game. There was an annoying flashing ad above the game, distracting me from the game and it’s supposed to be relaxing and all it did was piss me off. I’m sick of the damn lies. One of the
  21. [R50] 5/5 · US Solitarie.com: I thought there were no ads. Ads pop up all the time .
  22. [R56] 1/5 · US Misrepresented in Add: Downloaded this game because the ad said I wouldn’t have to deal with ads. There are ads.
  23. [R75] 2/5 · US Fun game: Way too many ads. I wish there was a way to buy out of them.
  24. [R92] 2/5 · US ANNOYING!: giving 2 stars even though it only deserves 1, just so its not automatically removed: while i enjoy solitaire, and THOUGHT i was enjoying this app, after getting through maybe 3 games, im now getting an ad literally EVERY 60 SECONDS. and theres no way to pay to have no ads or anything. your game just gets interrupted every single minute. IM SICK OF IT
  25. [R224] 3/5 · US Waaaay too many adverts: I would gladly pay a few bucks for a version of this game that was free of advertisements…
  26. [R11] 4/5 · US Too many interruptions: You only get a few games then are forced into downloading a different game.
  27. [R19] 1/5 · US I said no to update. Waited and said no again. Deleted the game nut the same I was playing is stuck.: Yuck
  28. [R22] 3/5 · US Too many interruptions.: Too many interruptions. You hardly let me play when I’m ready. I’ve been playing with you for several years, and you’re changing all the time. Keep it simpler, please.
  29. [R26] 1/5 · US Forced adoption: This program locked up my phone to force me to upgrade a game program that I like to the newest version.
  30. [R60] 1/5 · US Latest version is awful: The latest version doubles the number of ads which makes the gameplay very slow. One of the worst features is that the top card on a pile is covered mostly by the next card so that you cannot see the top card easily. The cards each row are too tightly stacked, particularly because it covers the top most important card. A terrible design.
  31. [R16] 3/5 · US Too many Ads: It’s one of the nicest Solitaire games. Why don’t you just charge a few bucks to stop the ads.
  32. [R13] 5/5 · US good stuff: great
