Solitaire: Classic Card Games

I have been a long time player of this game app. I always liked the graphics and the simplicity of it. However, with the last couple of updates (which have been a lot in the last couple of months) the ads are aggressive, even when I know I have clicked the "X" to cancel it forces me to the advertisers site, or to download whatever app they are promoting. Some adds you have to click 3 "X"s to finally get back to the game. If you are going to force such aggressive adds, pay out winnings.

Long, long time user. Recent updates-- which have been quite a few lately, have made the game almost unplayable. The ads will lock up your screen forcing you to close the ap and restart the game. The banner ads encroach the game itself making it so you cannot view what you are doing unless you switch to portrait. This used to be my go-to for some quiet time killing pleasure. Now it's just annoying. It's too bad because for a solitaire game, this company actually nailed it.

Like many others, I'm a long-time user. Since the update the ads are much more intrusive. I thought my big fingers just weren't hitting the 'x' right to close the ad and taking me to the Play store page. So I tried using the stylus on my Galaxy S22 and I clicked on the x and it still took me to the store. This is no accident, they are using that to increase ad revenue and it's more than a little annoying. I've been using several of their apps and noticed the same. Seems time to look elsewhere.

If you're looking for just plain solitaire, no frills, no gimmicks no other BS, then this is perfect. And only a quick 5 second ad after each game. I'm changing my review because now you have to click out of the ads at least 2x and half the time it takes you to play store to downloaded anyways, even though you're just trying to click out of the ad to play. Very annoying, and unnecessary.

Uninstalling! New: no better. No magic. Old: I like that you can put your own pics in, but it doesn't deal the cards properly, often cards are missing, it may only have 10 cards or so to turn up from the first deal & often will only have 3 or 4 or cards to turn over for a long time, even though you should have at least 15 or more left. It's almost impossible to ever win because of this. It has no magic, doesn't offer winning hand as a choice, has no daily challenge calender. Please fix.

The game itself is great. But this game now seems to have added loud obnoxious ads in between games, and that really needs to be removed, or at least some way of permanently shutting off the sound for them without having to turn off my media on my phone (sometimes I play music when I play). I don't mind the ads, I understand you guys need funding. But just get rid of the startlingly loud ones that ruin the otherwise relaxing experience.

When you hit the close out button for shorter ads the ad runs for 5 seconds and then another timer comes up for an additional 5 seconds. So disappointing that it was even changed to these longer ads. And ever since your last update the game has not worked correctly. When you do finally get to exit the ads, the screen freezes and you have to close out of the whole game to get back in and play. Here is a concept...If it is broken, don't fix it. Why couldn't you just leave well enough alone?

Updated: The ads that can't be turned off came back, except with loud sound and for very scammy products. That is not something I will stand for. Uninstalled and will never get another game from these devs. Original review below. This is the best solitaire app I've found. The cards look like cards, the play is smooth, the ads are not annoying because they do not get in the way of your game, and the achievements are interesting.

I originally gave this game 5 stars for the graphics, gameplay, and reasonable number of ads. The game was updated a few months ago. The game itself is still 5 star, but since the update, ads have been at least doubled, and most of the time they hang the game and require at least three pinpoint (no finger tips!) taps to get back to the game. If you miss, you go to the Playstore download page, which requires even more taps to get back. Frustrating. I'll look for a new game.

App was better to many adds. When you close out of adds it takes you to other pages. I turned off the sound because I listen to music when I play and now you can't turn off the sound for the add. Was such a great app. Now it sucks. I'm thinking it's time to delete this app and install a different one. I recommend that everyone do this.

I took the May 2024 update, and they changed the UI. One nice feature they removed is the Undo slider, which allowed you to undo quickly, and then redo back to the endpoint, by simply sliding the bar. Don't know why they removed it. Would be great if it is added back in. For this reason I am downgrading from 5 to 4 stars.

Keep adding more ads all the time to the point where it's interfering with the game being played getting very annoying also banner ads on the top of the screen sometimes double up make it impossible to play when that happens I have to shut the game down sometimes trying to restart the game the screen goes black and nothing will start it again until I restart my cell phone! Another shity update! Now I can't even rotate the game.Thought it couldn't worse and it did!

I have played this game for years. It started out ad free. Now it's plastered with ads. Even worse, the latest update removed landscape mode. I have to play it in portrait mode and the cards are tiny. I have 3days, 11hours of total play time with over 2100 games played over several years. I love the stats and only play this game. But it has become unplayable now. Please address this as I see several others have the same complaints.

Update: when they updated the game I lost my purchase history. Again. It's been a week since I reached out with no contact. It's still my favorite solitaire app in the store, but I don't appreciate having to go through this again. I purchased no ads once, and I don't like that it seems to be pushing me to purchase it again. --- It's got the best gameplay of any solitaire app I've downloaded, and their support is responsive and quick to fix issues.

I've had and enjoyed this game everyday on all my phones for years and years, without any issues until now. This latest update will not let me play in landscape which is how I've always done it, and the ad banner at the top is not only distracting when playing, but the location of it is prime for accidental taps, which takes me away from the game, very frustrating and has made me play less and less. I hope Brainium revises the update soon

Loved this app on my phone. Actually, I paid the $12 for the app to remove ads when they became too intrusive. But last update removed the ability to play in landscape mode, which is unfathomable as it is the only way to enjoy this game. I have tried the portrait mode. It socks in comparison. Hard to believe they would remove such a great feature. Makes no sense. I am looking for another app, which they likely don't care as they got my $12 already. Bring back the prior version which I bought.

The redesign was not thought through. Before, the controls were hidden during a game, but now they are permanently in view, which is a distraction. Additionally, the old version allowed a player to tap anywhere below the cards to reveal the new game controls, which had wide buttons. Now, a player is forced to press the small ever present circle to start a new game. Aesthetics and ergonomics have been compromised in the redesign.
