Solitaire: Classic Card Games

While I like the game, as a caregiver who often needs to play without disturbing others its very annoying and disruptive that the sound plays on the ads regardless of the settings on the game or phone. Even if the ad shows that the volume is muted, I have to toggle it on then off. I contacted customer support about this issue but it hasn't been corrected or received a response.

Was a great game I played every day but a week ago they started making me watch 3 pop up ads each game or transition, interfering with gameplay & being so much of a nuisance that after a year of being very happy with the app, I've uninstalled it & found a different one that's not so annoying & intrusive. Some ads are expected of course, but not 3+ per movement!

Would be 4 stars, but Ads force my to stop the app. Every time I win a game, a 30 second ad pops up. It's pretty annoying. What's more annoying is that the ads either freeze and the app stops working or the ad forces me to click on it to continue to the close ad screen. Very obnoxious. Game play is good and I like the Journeys. If they had a pay to stop ads option, I'd use it.

The game is realistic and intuitive. you can go back as many turns as you want. It has hints available. Makes nice noticable card sounds and music when you win. options like redo the last game or new game. The reason I left a star off is that the game has small ads in banner at the top that are hardly noticable. They also have a video ad between games. But, you can just click the x at the top right away and by by ad. So that's nice.

Love the game. It's very relaxing with nice settings options. On the other side the ads have gotten bigger, longer, extremely annoying, grotesque and lock up your phone directing you to a more persisting party of the ad. So you continue waiting and watching grotesque images. It's invasive and repulsive!! My previous review was five stars. I was considering purchasing the subscription but I'll find another app. The management of this app lost me with the tasteless ads.

Good game, solitaire is good. However: I'm not sure if it's my phone/screen size, but when certain popup ads occur, I'm unable to close them as they're improperly fitted to the screen, e.g. the "x" is out of frame so I can't close it. Popup ads are fine, but it's annoying that I have to close the app and reopen it when certain uncloseable ads come up.

The solitaire is decent. I would rate this higher if a ton of other solitaire apps did not exist on the play store. The shuffle function is pretty neat and the ads are pretty frequent. The thing that disappoints me the most is the winnable decks have 6 or 7 moves given for free, eg. A,1,2,3,4,5 all in a row. I wouldn't mind if this was just an easy mode setting that could be changed. However, this happens very often.

Very unhappy with Ads. I find it very intrusive the developers allow ads to open up tabs in my browser to force me read about things I'm not interested in. I don't need your encouragement. If I want to engage in anything I can find it my self. Also, the new trend to make the closing of an ad into a puzzle waistes more of my time. I already had to wait until the timer stops why do I have to go through a puzzle to close it? All of these are very invasive and abusive. I'm going to uninstall.

The game design is good, and I like the journey, although not available on tablet. But ads after every hand or reset is beyond ridiculous. You are also forced to sit through them, as the exit X just stops the video. I get having to watch ads, but being forced like this, I would never try those games and delete ones like this, with too many ads. There are plenty of solitaire games out there, don't be greedy.

The ads are getting a little insane. They now want you to watch a 30 second ad after each game... which take a couple minutes. It was fine when you could close them after a few seconds, but lately you can't. And even if you're lucky to get one that can, the x is so small it's nearly impossible to hit. You can close out the app and reopen but it's annoying. The journeys are okay but repetitive and just decoration. Nothing special.

Firstly, to everybody complaining about the ads: Yes there's a lot. But you can either 1) Turn your device on airplane mode or 2) just close out the app before each round and avoid them. It's a free app, of course it's going to have ads. Secondly, I think the app would be perfect if it didn't *FORCE* you to reuse cards from discard-pile in order to play cards from the draw-pile in order to exhaust all possible options before it allows you to shuffle the deck. Everything else is great, though!

A solid choice for some good old fashioned solitaire. It has ads between games, but it's usually 2 short skippable ones or a medium length one. It gives some good options to customize, free hints, undo button, replay deck, daily challenge games, etc. However, I have a big problem with the "auto" feature when you are finishing a game. It doesn't always choose the most efficient way to clear the decks. I tested it for the 2nd time: auto made 170+ moves to my 116. Please fix! :)

I'm enjoying this classic, stress-free game. I had to remove and reinstall it, though, as it eventually froze at the end of my first loss and would not begin a new game otherwise. it's a tiny glitch that probably has an easier fix than my reinstallation solution. I do not remember being jarred by any visually intrusive, mood-draining ads while playing (for a free game, a big plus). overall, this may be the easiest way to pass the time waiting for my tea kettle to boil.

Too many and long video commercial. It shows the option "skip video" but it doesn't work. Until the video is finished and the still image is on, it can be skipped (what for) Besides that after playing a few times, it start to pop up the "update required" From there on, winning is almost impossible. Maybe one out of 50 attempts. If you download the updated it is the same, after some plays . I'm afraid if I buy the free ads version, it will come up with th trick to keep me buying other versions

The problem is the types of ads this app has started to run. Not just long ones, or with a hidden 'X' button, a button too small to tap accurately, or that moves at the last second. All of that is standard anymore. The problem is that it doesn't just pull up play store, it automatically starts a download as if you truly hit confirm. A forced download onto your phone that you did not, could not, properly register or accept. I don't care how easy it is to uninstall them, that's unacceptable.

Edit: changed from a 5 star to a 3 star because it won't let me play anymore unless I'm connected to the internet. Not okay. Much better than some other solitaire apps I've used. Doesn't force you to watch ads in order to shuffle or get a hint. There are ads but they are skippable after a few second. Clean UI, nice little sound effects, very nostalgic.

I USED to like this game. No longer. Game used to have games with intermittent break away for ads. Now there are 2 ads shown between EACH game. There used to be variety in difficulty, now there is just easy, interspersed with unwinnable games. I have uninstalled it. I like this solitaire a lot. No interruptions for ads to other games I don't want. It plays the way I want it to, and doesn't force me into more difficult options; I just feel like I'm in control of the game instead of the app.
