  1. [R2] ⋆Solitaire 5/5 · US Solitaire Classic: Love it, very relaxing.
  2. [R8] ⋆Solitaire 4/5 · US Solitaire: Solidarity is a great game it exercises you brain. When my kids are on there iPads it is a game that they can learn from not like addictive game that is not useful
  3. [R65] Solitaire.com 5/5 · US Solitaire: Great game
  4. [R66] 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.
  5. [R10] ⋆Solitaire 2/5 · US Ads: I know you have to have them but its just to daggone many
  6. [R19] ⋆Solitaire 1/5 · US Way too many ads!!!!!!!!!: I have begun my day with this game for years. But recently the ads are increasingly obnoxious. And they cannot be turned off. I want one quick game. I don’t want to sit and watch about shaving my pubic hair or playing other games that are relentlessly in my face. I wish the distributors of this game would reduce the number of ads by at least 75%. It’s ridiculous.
  7. [R61] 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 =(
  8. [R64] 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.
  9. [R16] ⋆Solitaire 1/5 · US Crashes on opening: Crashes on startup. M5 Pro, 26.5.
  10. [R36] ⋆Solitaire 3/5 · US Freezes with latest update or latest iOS: I have been playing this for years. It’s been a nice solitaire app. But since the latest update, or the latest iOS it freezes after a few minutes of playing. This doesn’t happen with any other app I’m using. I have to close the app and restart the game.
  11. [R82] Solitaire.com 1/5 · US Update: The game is slow and freezing now
  12. [R94] 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.
  13. [R1] ⋆Solitaire 1/5 · US $10 a year to remove the ads.: Been enjoying the game for a while and finally decided to go ahead and buy the game. I was very disappointed to see they are only selling subscriptions. Will delete the game and play somewhere else.
  14. [R72] 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.
  15. [R75] 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
  16. [R12] ⋆Solitaire 3/5 · US Shop: The game is good and I don’t mind the ads, but the shop only loaded the first time I used the game and I haven’t had access to it since then. It’s just a continuous loading screen
  17. [R23] ⋆Solitaire 5/5 · US Love playing: I love this game. The only thing I have a problem with is the shop. I can’t access it to use my coins. 😫
  18. [R73] Solitaire.com 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.
  19. [R63] 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 !
  20. [R70] Solitaire.com 1/5 · US Ads: Too many ads
