Solitaire: Play Classic Cards Reviews

by LoveYeaux99

This game would be absolutely perfect if there were an ad-free version! Having to watch a 30 second ad BEFORE AND AFTER any game is annoying. I love that it’s just plain old this app but it’s unplayable for me. I’ve tried it out for 2 months hoping to get use to the ads but to no avail. Suggestion: if ads are THIS necessary, maybe implement watching a block of 2-3 fifteen second (or shorter) ads where the user is then allowed to play ad-free for 1 hour or something. Til there are improvements, I’ll be deleting and moving on.

The game itself is solid. Like many games, it has a banner ad running continuously at the top of the screen as you are playing, as well as as full screen ads between every level. Ordinarily this would be fine. However…

They have started allowing banner ads which automatically expand to full screen WHILE you’re playing. That’s not acceptable to begin with, but it made the whole experience extremely annoying. Not fun.

Delete.

I never leave reviews. This is so stupid, this is the stupidest laziest version of this app I’ve ever seen. They reuse the same boards over and over again. If you play it for more than an hour then you’ve played it all. All the boards are winnable if you try hard enough, and a lot of them are super lazy. Obviously it randomly draws from a number of preset boards instead of shuffling the cards and playing you a random hand. It’s so simple that you could play a version off of a desktop from 2002 that’s better than this.

I have enjoyed this game in spite of the option bar popping up spontaneously and interfering with the timed game. I have gritted my teeth and accepted that the excessive number of ads (sometimes three in a row) is the price of a free game. But today I gave up and deleted this app because there is an ad with no closing "x" that I can't get rid of. I had hoped that I could reinstall, but now it won't download. So, good riddance! Luckily, there are many similar games by other developers, but I have to wonder why this developer makes a good game so difficult to like.

The game itself is fine but they have to do something about the ads. Some (not all) of the ads for Oprah’s Book Club selection “Olive,Again” give you no way to get back to the game after the ad has run. I literally stays on the last frame and gives you no ‘x’ to move on. “Funky Island” ads do the same. If you wish to continue playing you need to wait a few hours and come back to it or restart your pad. If the developer’s aim is to be an ad platform with a game attached (and let’s face it, that is what this is), you can’t expose your customers to more ads if the ads freeze Solitaire . Also I find it interesting that they suggest that this game is appropriate for ages 4+, some of the ads sure aren’t. At 67 I may or may not be ready for a slot that reputedly contains “real adult emotions” but I was not at 5 years old. Believe me, I am no prude but somehow this seems a bit out of synch with the age rating.

Seems like ads pop up after each game is done and even after you download a new game you will keep getting ads to download it again. You will keep getting an ad after saying no to it numerous times. What don’t you get about the word NO? This annoyance diminishes the pleasure of the game and then it is deleted.

You should think about selling the game after a short introductory period and dramatically reduce ads during trial period. Let the game prove its worth!

I like the game itself, but I don't like the ads. It's not like other games where you finish playing a game and an ad pops up, you watch the add and when it finished you hit an "X" and get back into playing. On many of the ads there is no "X", so you have to get completely out of Solitaire and come back in to start playing again. I like the game, but I don't like the hassle, so I'll be dumping Solitaire for that reason alone.

Too many times “no more moves”. If the developer changed this to alert when there are no more possible moves it would be better. You spend all this time & then break down & use the hint feature just to find out there are no other possible moves. I just had 6 in a row & have decided to delete Solitaire out of frustration. Which is unfortunate because I enjoyed the background pic & the game itself. Also having to watch an ad after every single game gets old quick.

I realize the importance of ads in a game but I feel it is excessive to have an ad after EVERY game regardless if you win or not. Especially when the ad won’t go away and there’s no way to get back to the game except by closing down Solitaire and starting over. I don’t understand that. Less ads; more games.

I had to delete this spider this app game that I had for 2 years because of an ad for reverse mortgage could not be “x ‘d “ out so that I could continue to play the game. For a while I was able to turn the phone off the phone and re boot but by now re booting must occur every game. Well that’s nonsense. So I deleted the game. Tried another spider this app but the same thing happened.

by SneakyWinker

Seeing as this is entirely free, it's a great game. My main issue is that the ads give you the chance to skip, but if you do, it freezes and I have to close and reopen. About half the ads freeze it even if I let them play all the way through. It's really frustrating.

I also don't think any of the hands should be"unwinnable". What is the point??

by Ssi Gh

Did not understand the game at first but I keep playing and now I understand with the hints I got thank for that now I am hook in this game keep the brain working I can’t seem to want to stop got to go don’t have to send a dime with other game I have to spend money to keep up the game thanks again awesome game.

by All Swell

Enjoying the gaming app but way too many adds and too many tricks to make adds go away. In-short, don’t like being tricked in so many ways trying to find the secret button to go back to enjoying the gaming experience.

by SasquatchNinja6

I absolutely love this game. I love it to the point where I can play easily for 1 hour straight. Yeah I have no life. I do have an idea if you would be interested.
1) implement some sort of system where if you didn’t solve the game that it would tell you if the game was winnable. So you could challenge yourself to find the solution but you could also just start a new game as easy. Nothing big just for those that will lose their mind thinking if their was actually a solution or not lol.

Have been playing this since I was a kid but with cards. To play on my iPhone is a good way to fill time with no deep thinking. I usually win so I just go on to the next game. No feeling stupid just some fun for a few minutes. If I need to stop halfway through it’s no big loss.

by Adrine

Revised: This problem is no longer happening and I am very happy with this game.

This is by far my favorite this app game. The ads are plenty and long and I get that is how the developer generates revenue. But when an ad will not allow me back to the game then it’s no longer fun. That’s why the three stars. Fix the problem with the ads!

Don’t download Solitaire. Their latest update found a way to use your cellular data without permission. I turned data off for Solitaire so I wouldn’t get ads but they’re still coming through. Checked my stats and Solitaire has been using MBs of data despite being turned off.

I love the settings that it came on with that I didn’t have to change things to where I like. I like only one card shown on the draw. I love the challenge game. I certainly have a lot to learn and playing the challenge I did a hint before every move and used it as a learning game and learn some new moves that I had no idea existed!

by Parker Derosier

This is an awesome version of this app! I don't have to watch an ad for a hint and it lets me shuffle the cards when there are no more moves to make. There are ads but I can skip them after 5 to 10 seconds. It's about a five minute game for me so the ads are absolutely nothing and again you can skip them so fast. I play this while I listen to my podcasts. Amazing game. Amazing app. I just love it.

It is challenging, but not frustrating. I have played it for hours, one day, when I was waiting for some work to be done at our house. There is not one game I have found that cannot be solved. If I do not solve it the first time, I replay the same deck differently. There have only been one or two cases when I have had to replay three or four times to solve it. I usually solve it the first time or the second. This game is very forgiving! LOVE it!
