Contact Solitaire Support

It was fixed once. Now it's back. Greedy, childish developer will still blame me because if their refusal to honor settings that are set to no sound. Now they BLARE. I'd already complained about ads with intrusive sound even when I had sound turned off. It was fine for a while, then the latest update has a new twist: I can be 20 seconds into a new game and the sound from an ad I'd deleted/skipped over starts playing loudly in the background - even when the sound is off on the ap and on the phone. I complained to Solebon and they said "It sounds like nothing will make you happy. It's probably better that you simply don't play our app." When I brought to their attention that others have had the problem, they send me via email (which I 'm happy to share to anyone who cares) a two word response "Go away". I wrote Apple about this so they know they have a rude, abusive developer. SO can I submit a negative star review????

I hope Apple looks into this attitude. They feel they couldn't possibly have made me a mistake. I encourage others with the same problem to lodge complaints because if you don't lodge a complaint, they think everything is just rosy.

Edit: Developer responded that I insulted them and didn't provide requested info. I provided all available info and was not insult, unless they find truth insulting. Entire email exchange is available and was forwarded to Apple execs.

Mid-May update in response to developer’s request:

Per your request to my latest review regarding rogue sounds: "Texas Tea" or some-such name was the biggest culprit, yesterday. *Several* stop the sound I am listening to, whether a playlist or podcast or book; just as annoying, so when it's a downloaded item, I just go offline and see none of the ads. Your supporters should be aware the "good guys" are losing potential revenue because of the "rogue" guys you're not vetting properly.

May 2021 Update: They’re back! Even tho’ I received a nice response from the dev a year ago claiming ads were not “supposed” to play sounds, and within a few weeks added my update, below, here’s the latest update: Ads with sound, and ads without sound that still take over any other apps running. Noticeably increased battery usage, too. UPDATE: It took a few weeks, but you did it! My audio of choice hasn’t been commandeered in three days. Thank you! I’m okay with ads (I grew up when TV was free in exchange for ads), but I’m not okay with commandeering my device for commercials with sound! I use this as a nighttime quiet-down splurge, perhaps with music or audiobook, so *not* good. Yuck to the latest changes.

If you're looking for a simple offline solitaire game, this is ok. They have cleared up some of the bugs that plagued earlier versions but some of the ads can be intrusive or LOUD. Some of the ads seem like possible spam sources to your app store email (just saying--a specific new type started coming in after installing this). They have expanded the number of game types available and there are a fair number of options to customize look and feel. I like the stats where you can cross compare times and moves vs the highest scorer on each game. Social push for matches seems like a waste though - it's called "solitaire."

If you're looking for a simple offline solitaire game, keep looking. Weak game mechanics (for examples, no autosolving once the deck is clear, bad "grab" and tap recognition), unstoppable ads before every game, movie ads don't respect app volume settings, app doesn't respect system volume settings, tries to drive you to social constantly, possible spam source to your app store email (just saying--a specific new type started coming in after installing this). Basically this is an ad platform and any fun from the games is erased as a result.
