  1. [R4] Solitaire.com 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.
  2. [R28] Solitaire.com 1/5 · US Hmmmm: Not crazy about the “auto finish”
  3. [R33] Solitaire.com 3/5 · US Read: It always does most of the work for me I really don’t like that
  4. [R36] Solitaire.com 3/5 · US Kinda sad: I love solitaire but when I downloaded the app I was told there was a freecell game mode and a spider game mode an I haven't been able to find either way I misinformed?also there are lots of adds every minute or so and that really is irritating.
  5. [R1] Solitaire.com 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 =(
  6. [R9] Solitaire.com 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.
  7. [R22] Solitaire.com 1/5 · US Update: The game is slow and freezing now
  8. [R2] Solitaire.com 5/5 · US Fixed: After deleting the app, it appeared in ads from another app. So I downloaded it because it said it was a new version. It was. Works perfectly now.
  9. [R3] Solitaire.com 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 !
  10. [R6] Solitaire.com 3/5 · US Not bad but still ads: I am trying to find a simple solitaire without any ads and without paying for it. I guess this one has less ads than other games.
  11. [R7] Solitaire.com 2/5 · US Excessive ads: There are so many ads that the game is becoming unplayable.
  12. [R10] Solitaire.com 1/5 · US Ads: Too many ads
  13. [R27] Solitaire.com 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.
  14. [R34] Solitaire.com 1/5 · US Game keeps freezing and lagging: The issue with over abundance of ads seems to be resolved. However the games continually freezes after turning about 3 cards on my iPad. I contacted Fetch and the told me to go the Settings and toggle WiFi off/on. Doesn’t really help. Totally frustrated.
  15. [R40] Solitaire.com 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?!
  16. [R55] Solitaire.com 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!
  17. [R15] Solitaire.com 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
  18. [R61] Solitaire 1/5 · US HORRIBLE: why is there an ad in the middle of my game. i’m spending more time looking at all the ads then actually playing. capitalism at its finest
  19. [R12] Solitaire.com 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.
  20. [R63] Solitaire 3/5 · US ADS. So. Many. Ads!: You’ll get an ad when you start a game, you’ll get an ad in the middle of a game. You get an ad when you restart a game, you’ll get an ad when you win a game, and sometimes you’ll even get an ad as soon as you open the game! $15 for no ads? No thanks. I’m a fan of your other games and even they don’t have as many ads…. Do better.
