- [R2] ⋆Solitaire Solitaire Classic: Love it, very relaxing.
- [R8] ⋆Solitaire 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
- [R56] ⋆Solitaire Solitaire: It’s a pretty good game and very fun, I enjoy the games and the daily challenges
- [R61] Solitaire Solitaire: Too many ads and always have to update.
- [R4] ⋆Solitaire Stop intrusive ads now!: I have loved this game for years. But now, suddenly, there are pop up ads in the MIDDLE OF A GAME. Stop these immediately or I’ll delete this game.
- [R13] ⋆Solitaire ANNOYING ADS: I can’t even use the app anymore!! It’s ad after ad after ad! There’s not even an x button anywhere. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PLAY THE GAME! TERRIBLE!!
- [R41] ⋆Solitaire Invasive ads: I’ve been playing this game and enjoying it for years. There were always ads that you had to watch between games, which I understand. But now, there are huge popup ads every two minutes or so that make it virtually unplayable. I will be deleting this app and I’m sad about that.
- [R16] ⋆Solitaire Crashes on opening: Crashes on startup. M5 Pro, 26.5.
- [R36] ⋆Solitaire 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.
- [R54] ⋆Solitaire Crashing: I used to love this app and play it daily but recently it crashed and I’ve deleted and re downloaded it bits still frozen so I can no longer play. Very disappointing especially as I pay a subscription on it.
- [R45] ⋆Solitaire Has gotten worse over several years: This game used to be a joy to play. Now it’s a pain in the rear. Now, there are so many bugs, I may have to move to Solitaire from a different developer. It now freezes up often, and I have to force-end the app and get back into it. Once I almost had to force restart my phone, because it locked up so hard. I also used to see my cumulative total, which was up ov
- [R1] ⋆Solitaire $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.
- [R19] ⋆Solitaire 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.
- [R83] Solitaire NOT really FREE: Too many pop ups
- [R12] ⋆Solitaire 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
- [R52] ⋆Solitaire The shop is not working: What is the purpose of obtaining the coins if you can not open the shop?
- [R87] Solitaire DON’T UPDATE!!!!: If you have won any money it disappears when you update! The new version is horrible!! Did I mention you lose all the money you had in your account! DO NOT UPDATE! There is no way to contact customer support!!!
