Solitaire Reviews

You will love this game maker if you like dealing with adds that pop up before during and after a game. Also great fun trying to X out adds that won’t close. This causes you to close Solitaire ending any playing streak you were on. This is the trick to closing the adds in record time. Close Solitaire and reopen it to deleat the add. You will also think half the deck is made up of 8. Being 1/13 of the deck, they appear in over 60% of hands dealt. And let’s not forget the rolling and moving add that is constant at the bottom of the screen just below the back button. They intentionally placed it there so you will mistakenly hit on the add. And to really highlight your playing experience, how it rips the card from play and deposit it on the wrong stack ending any chance of the high score. If you like being a 3 year old you will love the new ads for games that are meant for 2 year olds. The adds will wake the dead and dieing, leaving everyone in the room knowing who is the jerk that is the most inconsiderate in polite society because your device is screaming. I give it a 0. When I down loaded Solitaire years ago it was great. Now it is garbage, really sh.t.

I have used Solitaire in past with great success, but the new version 7.4 constantly crashes. It will sometimes crash as many as 7 times in a single play. Remember every app crash leaves you open to vulnerability hacks and security breaches. So i highly recommend against using Solitaire until they fix their crashing leaving you open to security hacks. It is not possible to reach out to developer, you try and it has blank email address, so they block you from reporting issues. My guess they are attempting to hack you, thus way they give you no avenue to report problems or issues. If there is an update that works, i will update my review. However i feel the need to report it as the buggiest app i ever used on my apple products, since there is no way to reach out to developer to let them know the issues. Don’t let them hack your systems, stay away from Solitaire until apple takes a look to see what they are doing, or they fix their serious bugs.

Second update: OK, I’m outta here. The bombardment of ads, including at least one that CANNOT be silenced OR fast forwarded, plus all the intrusive data collection, is just more than I can take. Off to find a better app.

Update: a recent change means there are now lengthy ads after Every Single Game, where this wasn’t true before. Significant downgrade of playing experience. Time to find a different app that has more respect for users. The game works well enough, but recently the ads at the end of a game have become horribly intrusive. Having Solitaire 's sound off doesn't silence ad audio, and there are many situations where that would be a big problem. I also resent the data that I'm paying for being used to support these intrusive audio/video ads. I'll be looking for a different version.

I’ve been playing this game for years and for a long time it was really good. Over the last year or two it has gotten steadily more glitchy. The latest thing that just showed up today is that an ad for this app pops up right in the middle of my game. If the game wasn’t timed and my score based in part on time, it wouldn’t be near so annoying. Before that I could get all my cards turned over but then it would allow auto complete. To make matters even more frustrating, the glitches seems to vary from day to day. The developers will blow this off as being player error but as long as I’ve been playing this very game, I know when something is up. I’m done with Solitaire!

I could put up with the pop up ads at first, even the ones where you have to wait 5 seconds before you can dismiss them. Then came the ones where you have to turn off the audio, and the ones where you have to “discover” the fast-forward button or wait for a 30 second countdown. And now there are banner ads that play audio during the game. Some of the ads can not be dismissed at all. I have to quit the whole game to get rid of them. There are also ads where you can not turn off the sound. IMO if I have the game audio turned off, then all of the ads should also be muted. VERY OBNOXIOUS!!! Time to look for a less intrusive experience...

I used to really enjoy this time waster. Many of the ads have very tiny ‘x’ symbols to cancel out of them. I’ve also noticed ,your own Finger Arts ad won’t cancel with one touch on the cancelling ‘X’, it can take 3 or more presses to finally close the ad. Recently I guess advertisers have dropped off, every game is interrupted by the SUPER annoying F A ad that requires multiple touches to cancel. I won't EVER download another FA app, I'd think ad tracking would get that by now!

Other ads only display the cancelling 'X' for a split second, then you have to guess how to disable the ad from downloading a new game. (The 'Game of War' is one example of that type of annoying interruption, I don't consider war a game!)

The latest update also changes behavior if you are unable to to join a Wifi network or disable it's connection. Obviously ad revenue is more important than customer satisfaction.

I've been playing this this app for years. It's my #1 go-to while waiting or between other games. I have it on my phone and iPads. That said, this last update has made this game so annoying that I'm not sure it's worth it anymore or how long I can stand it. I totally understand showing ads on a free game. It's always been that after winning a game, you get an ad. Ok. Now I get an ad after EVERY game, win or lose. 30 seconds of ad between each game is a lot. Especially with very little variety so you see the same ads over and over and over. Even with no Wi-Fi you get a pop up pitch for one of their games. Every single time. Honestly I would pay a one time charge to be ad free and just enjoy this game again. There are many other this app games out there. Time to check them out.

I've complained thru feedback that your latest change to the shuffle has resulted in a curious phenomenon. Invariably the deal will have three of one denomination , I.e three 6s three 9s three kings, etc. I refuse to play those hands and request another shuffle. That phenomenon is still occurring regularly, frequently, disturbingly. I no longer believe the shuffles are random.
I also believe your scoring is inaccurate. How could I achieve a score lower than my current best when I've beaten the current time record by 20 seconds or more and had less moves? Doesn't hold up.
But the most infuriating thing is how you refuse to move the indicator that there are NO more moves. In MANY cases, it is obscured by the cards themselves. Move the indicator near the top where nothing will cover it up. DUH!

It seems every update mentions eliminating bugs and making the game more stable. I have only noticed more flashing and repetitive advertisements. Also, the game now crashes. Now it could be worse, if you just restart the game and choose “resume”, you will usually be returned after some delay to where you were. It is not a good look to have a computer game that must be based on intelligent programming to have so many repetitive ads. After seeing the same ad so many times, it would make anyone try to get rid of it as soon as possible. You can bring an ad back after a long delay. I might change my mind and look at it carefully. The this app game is now set up so if you miss the button “restart” or if your finger slides off that button, then the click to see more of the ad is activated. I’m sure you don’t admit to your advertisers that most of the clicks were unintended. I don’t have to play this game. There are other games and other this app programs. Let me guess - the programmers are smart enough to know all this, but the business managers insist that their minions spend almost all their time at attempting to maximize profit. Fire the bosses.

Please block any ads from Quicken until they fix a major issue. That issue is that the ad freezes the game. There is no button or icon to close the ad. It just stays there. The only way to move on is to quit the game and restart. That is totally unacceptable. The Quicken issue is not limited to this game. It happens on other games which subscribe to the ad.

One other item, please place the “New” game link to another location. I am constantly hitting it accidentally when making moves on that side of the screen with my right hand. It should be on the left side or even movable for the ease of users.

I really like Solitaire, even more than I thought I would. Only a few issues. First, Solitaire , occasionally, seems to freeze up for 5 or 6 seconds. It's annoying, but I can get over it. What is harder to get over is while I can't make any moves during freeze up, the timer still records time. When the freeze up ends, the timer show the 5 or 6 seconds that has elapsed. Since time is used to calculate the score, that's problematic. Second, the ad that is positioned at the bottom... In that position, I often touch it inadvertently. It then opens Safari browser. I have to click a link to return to the game. I would prefer the ad to appear at the top or left (right-handed) where I would not inadvertently touch it. Maybe we can choose the location? Third, Solitaire is 430Mb. Why is a this app game so big? Is this related to the variety of ads that popup? Also, I play this game on more than one device. The results are linked through my game account. I know this because my high score results show up on all the devices. So, why can’t the “daily” play on multiple devices get linked? As currently designed, I have to do the daily play on one device to get monthly totals. Would love to use whichever device was handy and see the totals on all. Last, the yellow warning symbol that indicates no additional moves should be optional. Often, I continue to make moves and even win games after that warning appears. Address those items and this is a 5 star app!

I have played just under 60,00 hands since installing. The game is fun with above average graphics, but too many advertisements and bugs. Ads after every hand, with connectivity to the internet for content. Bugs in auto-complete, no more moves indicator, and high scores. For example, if you have certain high score marks they reduce themselves over time. I limit internet data sharing and large file downloads for the ads by always disconnecting from the internet before playing. Unable to determine if game still connects when not being played but running in background. Privacy concerns. Reads the "free" applications terms and conditions. In short, fun a little buggy which most users probably won't notice, unclear about what data is collected, and how that data is shared, stored, retained, or protected.

I used to love this game! But since this last update not sure anymore. Just bought a new iPhone 16pro and in transferring everything over it upgraded a few things, including your card games, this app, FreeCell and others. When this happened you no longer tap on the card to activate or move it, now you need to tap along the bottom of the card or somewhere in the middle of the card to move it!! Today it took me 5 min to find the tap spot on the card I was trying to move to the Ace pile

This particular column was right above the “back” button. I kept backing up my previous moves, if I moved my finger up a little higher it tried to move a column, after 5 min I finally found the sweet spot to move my card up to the Ace pile, very frustrating!! Please fix. Thank you then I’ll give you back your Star.

It would be better if hard games were guaranteed to be solvable also! Then you would know to keep trying. Another option would be if you ( the player) could indicate that it was unsolvable (there is one in free cell that is unsolvable right now so I am no longer playing it rather than take a loss)and that would count as a win. It does not seem fair to take a loss when it is unsolvable! There are too many interruptions with ads and nonsense. Thank you. Still too many ads! TOO MANY ADS!

I have loved this game for years, BUT
Recently two annoying problems have showed up.
First, the game randomly quits at odd times. This happens at least once every time I play. This started about the same time as both Solitaire and iOS upgraded.
Second, the ads (which I didn’t used to mind at all) now have sound, and even if you mute the sound of one ad, the next will still have sound playing. This used to be a game I could play in waiting rooms or when waiting for my restaurant order, but not if the sounds of alien battles or bad music is going to blare out in public.

This is a good game to play when you want to relax, actually it's just plain fun to play. Of all the games on my iPad, I find this is my favorite. Try it and you'll probably find its your favorite too. 😋❤️
Updated: This game is a rarity, for the times you want to just play mindlessly- there is an easy level to play with no hassles. For those days when you need a real challenge, there is the hard level almost guaranteed to tie your mind into knots. All other times there is a regular level offering challenging play with good odds of winning.
Couple good graphics with minimum adds and this game should be front and center on your favorite playlist. 😋❤️

I have been playing this game on Solitaire for over 11 years. It isn’t far my FAVORITE app/game!!! However since last two updates I can not play as much. After every game it will not let me close ad and play next game. I have to close out app and remove from history and start all over. Very annoying!!! When I am not on wifi the game won’t even let me restart for minutes. I played this game so much. But now I’m starting to wonder if I should find new one. If developers can please fix, I would be greatly appreciated.

This game is just what you'd expect for a digital version of the classic this app card game. All options work great and represent appropriate probability of success. Automatically won't let you make an illegal move. Keeps me coming back when I have a few minutes to kill. Occasionally it shows that there are no more moves when there is something else you can do. I've gotten into the habit of going through the deck one more time to verify that the game is really over before starting a fresh one.

I like the game, altho The ads that pop up in between every two games you win and they are hard to get rid of, you have to keep repeatedly press the close this ad button before it works, time I would rather be playing my game. I would like to pay upfront for Solitaire and not have the ads running on the bottom.
Since I reviewed this game they have stepped up with an ad for other games that pop up every other game that I play, really annoying.
I'm trying to find another game and get rid of this one by Fingerarts.

This is my favourite game, I play several times a day, every time I go on to my iPad I end up doing what I signed on for and play at least 6 games of this app before I close down. Thank you. Adding to this review, you are still my favourite game and I have increased the games I am playing daily, again thank you for the enjoyment you give me. JH It is still my game to go to, actually several times a day. This edition is the best one of any one on my iPhone, computer, JH
