Solitaire Reviews

I hate all of Mobility’s games , they ruin all the classic games
Horrible support and game play . You start have fun at but then Mobilty being the brain dead developers they are throw a hitch in the game to that makes common sense seem a lost cause then Mobility claims that as being skill . Insanity has never been a SKILL but they paid high bucks too Apple too and Apple has turn into spineless cowards where developers are concerned. Why is it there is no ratings for Apple Arcade? They don’t even have a real support just like Solitaire Store in general but yet we have to pay for junk games like this to avoid ads which should not be a issue if Apple care at all for it’s customers who buy there high priced devices! REMEMBER WHEN WE COULD BE PROUD TO OWN A APPLE PRODUCTS? Now we are just blind suckers! I put this on a T-Shirt that is selling like mad from my website!

The number of statistically rare combinations of the initial 7 cards shows their programming is anything but random. Statistically speaking, I should only get a 4 of a kind in the ‘flop’ .16 percent of the time, meaning out of every 2000 deals the initial cards face up should only show 4 of a kind about 3 times. I get 4 of a kind and full houses in the ‘flop’ quite often which is statistically impossible for a random deal. This combined with the ability to consistently win more rounds than you should in Vegas scoring means that their ‘random’ deals are anything but and after playing for some time it becomes obvious that your deals are curated as you win one then get 2-9 loosing deals. That cycle continues relentlessly.

I have been paying this game daily for well over a year. I was disappointed when the previous update came out and it seemed like a completely different version of the game. Now when I played the game this morning I see another update came out and my score history is even more skewed than it was. My scoring history is way off from what it was prior to the last 2 updates.

I don’t understand the reasoning behind changing it in the first place. I actually paid for this version of the game and is pretty much the only one I play.

Very disappointed with how you manage this and the updates that go into it.

Loves this game up until a few weeks ago. May have been around the iOS 15 release, but I honestly think it happened before then. Here’s what I’m seeing:

When I first got this game I could easily speed through a hand. Responsiveness was great! Lately, however, there seems to be a lag happening with the game. I’ll press on the deck and nothing, so I press again and the next thing I know two cards flip. There’s a good 1-2 second delay. It’s extremely frustrating!

I’ll bump this back to a five if they can get this fixed. I love the daily challenges, the multiplayer is ok too. But the lag when playing is horrible!! I’ve tried rebooting my phone, making sure all other apps are closed, etc. doesn’t fix it. 😡

You choose Solitaire versus others because you expect no ads considering Arcade subscription. Instead you get this app with goals or other useless objectives and clunky UI. You cannot improve upon simplicity, it doesn’t matter how much nagging you get from your management. It’s easier downloading some crapware this app and disabling cellular permissions on it so it can’t load ads.

Also, I don’t want to have to cycle through all of the hints individually to get a message saying that I’m out of moves after cycling through the entirety of the draw deck. If I’ve failed, let me know immediately.

I’ve played this game every day for at least a couple of years, up to level 3,000 or more. I accidentally uninstalled it while I was getting rid of apps I don’t use. Immediately reinstalled it and all my history is gone, I’ve lost some of the options in the bottom menu and now I have to deal with ads. I probably played 20-30 hands every day, cleared the daily challenges and invested a great deal of time with my streaks (I think I was up to almost 200 days in a row since they started providing stats for that.

Most apps don’t purge all your info when you reinstall. This one did and I may not play it going forward.

The BUT is the fact that “ unwinnable” games are included. You can’t win them but it will add to your losing streak. WHAT SENSE DOES THAT MAKE?? They have an option to only include deals that can be won, but why include “unwinnable” games to begin with? In the game they call them “random deals” It’s like you guys are supporting mental illness by triggering people, stressing them out, and other mix of emotions. It would be unfortunate if someone sued you guys for “emotional damages” because there is a case there. People play this game for a challenge & to relax & a myriad of other reasons. An unwinnable game is the same as going into a boxing ring with your hands tied. You’re destined to lose from the start.

Been playing this game for the past couple of months now. It is pretty addicting in a way being able to utilize my time and leaving off the progress when I didn’t. I do recommend this game if you intend for casual play. However, multiplayer is a hoax. I never seen any game applications that lets you connect right away to instantly go against your opponent. When you do play against your opponent it always ends up with 200 points max and they never progress right after. You could tell instantly that its a bot. If I could point out what this game needs to improve on, it would be multiplayer.

Been playing this for months and really enjoying it. Five stars all the way.
Within the last week, though, it sometimes takes a full second or more for the deck cards to turn over, and when they do, sometimes several taps register at once, causing missed cards and extra moves.
Since the challenges are often based on time or number of moves to complete, this bug is annoying.
Never thought I’d be complaining about lag in a this app game, but here we are. Hope it gets fixed!

After a recent update, the mechanics of the deals have changed. Suddenly almost every hand is a winner that sets a personal best. My previous personal bests were spread out over the past few years. After the update, the first ten hands I played immediately became my top 10 personal bests. Since then, the majority of hands seem to win, though no settings have been changed. Statistically this just isn’t likely. Maybe you’ll find this enjoyable, but for those of us tracking long-term improvement and thinking about strategy, it’s disappointing. Any sense of progress and development has been wiped out.

Solar lay in this game is fine. It’s this app. The events and goals are fun.
What’s awful about this game is the “multiplayer”. It is so clearly NOT real multiplayer, and it’s absolutely awful.
1) you can matched up and start a game instantly. So clearly not real multiplayer.
2) the multiplayer boards/deals are way harder than normal deals. You get stuck frequently.
3) the “other player” never gets stuck and given enough time, they will always catch you and pass you. No matter how difficult the deal is, the cpu player keeps finding moves.

That is probably the worst part. The AI is so bad, it’s like every X seconds they will play a card successfully. No matter the deal.

So stupid and so disappointing for an otherwise fun game.

@ developers- you should disclose to players that it’s a bot that can always find no a move. And don’t count those games against the human in their win/loss stats. It’s diss genuine on your part.

Why even have multiplayer if it’s not real?

It’s nice to have a this app game in Arcade since that means no ads and no microtransactions. It’s a fun this app game but it does a few things which I think are not beneficial.

One, it will automatically move cards to places if you tap on them, which seems nice but it incentivizes just tapping on cards as quickly as possible to get the best scores, rather than paying attention to the cards and thinking about your next move.

Second, the multiplayer mode is completely fake. There is no other player, you are just playing against a hidden timer. This becomes more obvious when you see the same player names over and over and there is never any wait to match you up with someone.

Overall though I do like it. I would like to see more classic games like this app added to Arcade, such as mahjong, sudoku, etc.

I’ve been playing this this app daily for months and I love it. However, just this morning I discovered a bug that took a star away. I normally play on my iPhone, but this morning I installed the game on my iPad and launched it. The number of levels shown as completed is now doubled from what it was, and that data has now synced through iCloud/GameCenter so that my phone now shows the same doubled number.

I’d like to have my original level number back, please.

I finally hit level 3000 a couple days ago. But then I pulled out my iPad, updated it and started playing on it. Somehow I magically gained 330 levels. This hasn’t happened before despite several years of playing and using my phone and two iPads. I think it’s a bug in the 75-level event as that is what I was playing when it happened.

I’ve put a lot of time into reaching 3000 but I’ve stopped playing because my level count is no longer accurate.

I enjoy this app. I can only play this game on here when I get a free Arcade trial period since I simply cannot afford Apple Arcade. I enjoy that it usually will automatically play some of the cards for me, but that doesn’t always work. Several times I have ran out of plays only to find that I am missing a card. Just a couple of days ago I was down to being able to see all the cards, ran out plays, but because I had no 6 of diamonds. This doesn’t routinely happen, but I’d say once a week or so; that I CATCH it cheating at least. The animations are cute. I don’t mess with the challenges.

First off, I love this this app game. The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is smooth. The animations and silly titles you earn as you beat levels are whimsical and fun. I’m only deducting a star because the events could be better. It seems like each level of the events is a random challenge. It would be more fun to me if they increased in difficulty as you progress towards the end of the challenge. Most of the levels are too easy and I speed through the events too quickly. I do enjoy the new jigsaw puzzles tho—very cute and satisfying to piece together as I win games. :)

Edit: They fixed the scoring and it removed all the bogus high scores. Back to 5 stars- thanks y’all

Recent scoring changes have invalidated years worth of high scores. My top 10 all-time used to be 10 nearly perfect games. Now every random game I play blows those holy grail scores out of the water, making my old hard-earned scores irrelevant. Truly a mind-numbingly stupid decision. Whoever approved it should be fired.

when there’s no ads to split up the rounds, you can just keep playing and playing for hours. It’s becoming a real problem.
The only thing is sometimes, when I try to boot Solitaire , it’ll go through the start logos, but then black-screen-of-death my phone. it then bricks it for a couple minutes before prompting me to unlock my phone from the lock screen. weird. 5 stars.

I love this game! But I have an idea. You know how you can customize the backs of the cards and the background? Well maybe you could make it so people can customize the faces! Like upload a picture from your phone and make it a king, queen, or jack. And maybe you could also make it so you could change the color and style of the other cards that aren’t the kings and queens and jacks.

One small disappointment … that seems to bother me. ;) Please adjust the interface to allow us to see all three of the puzzles we complete. I mean that’s why I do jigsaw puzzles on the kitchen table. It came very clear when two events in a row, the first puzzle was of cute animals. I just didn’t finish after that and so I didn’t get the credit for finishing. Thanks for anything you can do to make the pictures accessible.
