Solitaire: Cards Games 2024 Reviews

by Hagnaster

I screen kept freezing, so I deleted the game, then reinstalled. In so doing, it shows I never played the daily challenge, starting from yesterday, when in fact I’ve been playing this game for several years. Please fix this. It’s updated this game automatically, when I get a notice from Apple, to down load the latest version.
I have never had this problem, in the past. Perhaps it was due to the new update. So I have no idea how to fix, this issue. I do not have Facebook, so don’t ask about that. I have had fraud 8 times in 2 years. I do not want Facebook, since they are the problem re: my fraud. I’ll leave it at that. So please fix the problem re: the screen freeze on my iPhone 8.

When I started playing this game it was great. There were few ads and the ones that did pop up were brief and/or easy to opt out of. However, now that I’ve been playing it for six months or so the ads pop up after every game and every one takes me to at least two screens and usually three before I can get a fresh deal. When I try to opt out either nothing happens or I get sent to another page (and usually another). And when I finally get back to Solitaire I have to close and reopen it to get to the next game. Every free this app app I’ve used has wound up like this. I know the developers have to make money, but this is ridiculous. Too bad, because otherwise it’s a fun game.

The game itself is a great time killer and with the option for a winning deal, very satisfactory. I get there has to be ads to support a free game but the ad designs are getting very sloppy and buggy. The exit X is TINY. It’s ridiculous. You will hit the ad almost every time which will either send you to the Store or will send you to a website, automatically generating traffic for them and adding the website to your browsing history. The mute button is the same issue. Sometimes there are overlapping buttons or no exit at all and you’re stuck.
It’s getting to the point that I’m just going to delete Solitaire because you can’t stop the ads and now you can’t close or mute them either. When a developer ignores the impact ads have on their UX and just collects the checks, it’s time to move on. It was fun while it lasted.

If this game has no ads, why does it keep asking me to turn on tracking data to allow for more relevant ads? What are you tracking?

My point in this review is that I purchased a game that specifies “no ads”. It does not concern me that you “use tracking to better serve more relevant ads”.
I purchased a game for $7.99, and in that games title it clearly and in bold letters states “no ads” - and yet randomly I get an interrupting message telling me to turn on tracking. It even sends me to settings.
Now since there are “no ads in this game” I will ask again - why is it asking me to turn on tracking? What would it possibly need to track?

The game itself is good. However, sometimes I will click the deck to deal more cards and the interface lags. I think that my click didn’t register, so I click again and the pile deals twice. There is no back button, so I can’t get back to the card I should be working with. Sometimes the interface is over sensitive, and I will be resting my thumb on the edge of the screen near the deal pile and it accepts that as input. Once again, no back button.

As for ads, they are between EVERY game, so if it’s a short game and it’s only been a few seconds since I saw an ad, there’s still another ad. If I win a game, a nice prize would be to skip the ad, but no such luck, there is still an ad. One ad with the white background,is impossible to close, so i have to kill Solitaire to close the ad. Also, it would be nice if ads followed the color scheme of my phone- so when I play at night I’m not suddenly bombarded with a white screen.

Please address these items to make this fun and addictive game more rewarding. 1) The more you play the more you “level up.” Game gradually gets harder and harder to get high score until eventually it is more frustrating than fun. Players should be given option to maintain lower level or downgrade to previous level that is fun for them if they want to. 2) Also, if you sign up for prompts, app is way to slow to tell you you’re at stalemate. You keep sitting look at dead board or worse it prompts you to make moves that are makable that move you no closer to completion, just nonsensical makable moves that delay the inevitable loss.

I PAID to not have interruptions in my games but the interruptions continue. I am NOT wasting my money anymore. I recently got a new iPhone and switched to Cricket (BIG mistake) and this is when all the interruptions began to appear. Never had this issue with the old phone company (I cannot think of the name right now). I play these games to relax and I do NOT like stupid or violent game choices interrupting my games. I meant to hit THREE STARS ONLY but the forth lit up as I moved my hand.

I really do like the game very much but it just isn’t as relaxing any more.

Better than others I've tried. Good, easy to read card faces, plenty of user setting choices, and ads which either allow bypass in 5 seconds or just tap the upper right or upper left of the screen to bypass (some ads don't show the x to bypass bit one can hit the screen where it should be - sone at any time).

Negative or should be improved:
- For this app: Solitaire counts a flip of the deck as 2 moves, when it should be one.
- Note: Solitaire always auto moves cards to the right most position when there is a choice - not a problem but just so other users who might care to note.

by RightBrainer

I like this game, however if you don’t make a move within a certain time period it points out the next move. It can be a great feature but makes me feel pressured to make a move when all i really want to do I is just contemplate for a minute or two. I’m wondering if I can tun off the hint feature? Also, I paid the extra $5 to take off the ads, but they still have a side bar asking to download or play a different kind of game. That is a bit annoying. Overall - it works for my purpose. :-)

Just graduated from the University of “Dump Samsung and flush twice” academy of I’m fed up with..... Samsung!
Had “Mobility” and found out that free went to paid. Nope. This is a fantastic app though keeps freezing. Only option was to delete Solitaire and reinstall it. 3 times so far in one week. Doesn’t really matter, not looking for a ranking to be the “Best of the Best” like my suckass boss. Jus want something to keep my mind off of “My suckass Liberal wannabe so called superior”. Other than that, Zen happens when playing the “Game”.

I really enjoy playing this this app game on my phone. I’m retired for less than a year and this game keeps my brain active.
The one issue I have is the ads that come through why is the “x” in a spot that you can’t hit it to close our??? I have to shut down Solitaire and go back in. It’s beginning to irritate me enough that I do t want to play the game. Please take note. I know I can’t be the only one experiencing this annoying thing.

I love this game and play it all the time. I even bought the ad-free version. I especially play it at bedtime, but the white ‘loading’ screen is really bright. And I play it off and on all evening, so I get the white screen a lot. I don’t know if the developers read these reviews, but it would be really nice if the loading screen had a black background, or maybe dark green, like the this app background. Thanks for this game!

This game is one of the few games on my phone but I really don’t need any other games except this one. This is one of the most addictive this app game in the world even if you don’t win you can start over or get a new deal. If you get stuck don’t worry, you can press the icon of the light bulb but you have to touch the bottom of the screen to see the icon. Totally recommend that you will get this game 🙂❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕.

After playing another this app app for years, I finally confirmed that it was rigged. So I went looking for another one and found this one. It is straightforward, attractive, and the deals seem to be random. So far there is only one short full screen ad between games, which is consistent with other “free” apps. Definitely not anything to object to! Based on my experience so far, I would recommend Solitaire to anyone.

I’ve downloaded a whole bunch of the this app apps. This one is absolutely the best. It has a lot of beautiful backgrounds to choose from for free, as well as card faces and backs! You can really personalize it. It also has an option to turn on or off automatic hints, which would be really good for beginners. It’s got a lot of options really. You can add variations too like spider. Of all of the this app apps that I’ve downloaded this one is hands-down the very best.

by GrumpyPasta

The sounds and animations are nice, nothing I’ve the top, but fits with the aesthetics. I also like that you can change the card faces and backs. This is also the cheapest this app application I could find to remove adds, most are over $10 or are subscription based.

The only thing I would change is the speed at which it tells you that you are out of moves. I usually have to hit the hint button myself or wait 5 seconds for it to tell me that I am out of moves.

by Deb1+

I enjoy this game because I don’t have to wait for another person to play. Also I like the fact that if I lose a game I can challenge myself to the same game again. The ads are not to long in the game overall, I have had a couple but nothing like in other games where I had no choice but to leave the game for a little while before I could actually get back to it. Those ads wreck it for everyone. So thank you for not having those ads. Relaxing yet challenging fun. Deb1+

I am really impressed with this version as it is almost the way I remember it 15 years ago. I dislike the fact that while I am in another country I get advertisements in a language I don’t communicate in. This causes me to have to turn off the game or turn off my phone for the advertisement to go away and for this reason I dislike Solitaire . However, most apps are like this as having advertisements in another language is reaching out to those of that country. Totally different target for advertising.

High five to the developers. In fact I’ll try any game they’re associated with. Solitaire is free so there are ads but only between games and now I can close them instantly. At first the ads lasted for about 30 seconds, which was fine because I like a break between games to look away from the screen, but now I don’t even get those. Banners are at the bottom so they’re not distracting like other games whose top banners make playing impossible. I play with the sound off so there’s no danger of annoying noise when the ads pop up. Great app. The hints are helpful as is the undo feature.

This game is SO fun!!!! Because for some reason this game is so entertaining and could occupy me for hours and hours on end. It’s also entertaining because it’s so relaxing, you can change the background and that makes it so relaxing 😌. I like this app anyway but this is HEAVEN! This game is never gonna get old for me so I definitely recommend this game and if you get it you won’t be disappointed. So I really hope you get this game and again you won’t be disappointed.
