I have had this app for quite some time. I love the game options and the daily challenges. I HAVE to get all 3 stars! Only complaint is I wish there was a no add option. I would gladly pay for no adds. At the very least I shouldn't have to tap exit out of just one add more than once. Most adds I have to tap exit, or the "x" two, three, or even 4 times! So frustrating if you ask me.

2020- Was a great game despite sometimes long and always annoying ads. Recently started running ads that can't be closed or backed out of without closing the game. Hard to like a game you can't play. Edit- This has stopped. Review updated. Thanks! 2022- Gameplay is still good, but is now up to 6-8 ads between the end of one game and the start of the next. 2-3 of which are full 30 second spots. Closing in on more time in ads than actually playing the game.

The gameplay itself is fine, but the ads are unbearable. The reason for 2* is because people have been complaining for months in these reciews about the horribly intrusive ads, but the developers always respond, "we will continuously improve the ad experience," and then don't do anything about it. I should be able to at least mute the ads and be able to continue listening to my music. And it shouldn't be this difficult to close out of an ad without it always going to thr app store.

I'm enjoying these solitaire games. It has the main favorites (Klondike, Spider, FreeCell, TriPeaks, and Pyramid) and gives lots of options to make them as easy or challenging as you wish. The ads are minimal with a small banner at the bottom of the game screen (that gets covered up by the toolbar) and full screen ads that show up only after you finish a game. Definitely tolerable. My only complaint is that it seems to use more battery than I think it should.

Ads are excessive and all turned on high volume, even when you have the game set on silent. You have to manually mute your media volume when you play so you don't disturb everyone around you when the ads come on. If you're commuting and listening to music, the ads actually cut off your music. You then have to manually restart your music every time. Super annoying and extremely lazy programming.

I wish I could give this more stars! This game is solitaire. Plain and simple solitaire. There are variations of the game to choise from. You choose the level of difficulty. Ads NEVER disrupt gameplay. There are hints and "cheats" available for free if you want them. If you get stuck, you can always back up or re-deal. There is no "complete this before you move on" frustration. There are challenge and tournament options. I can't say enough. The game is as advertised: a collection of solitaire!

It comes with the typical 5 solitaire modes, and a handful of background themes. You can change the settings to increase or decrease the difficulty, and it tracks your statistics. Overall, the gameplay and features are good. However, after a few games it started forcing full-duration ads after every game which is a big turn-off. Either use skippable ads or design a feature that allows the user to choose to watch ads in exchange for some sort of reward. That's my recommendation for the developers

PRO: Nice collection. I really like the game play, compared to other solitaire versions. Dragging and dropping and autoplay functions are smooth and easy to work with. Background animations are cute and quite pleasant (relaxing, even). I also enjoy the daily challenges, and the option of playing against other humans (even when I get my butt handed to me). CON: The biggest problem is that there are WAAAY too many ads (video ads and playable game ads), and no way to opt out or buy an ad-free version. I wrote the developer directly (via support request) to ask for this, but got no response. EDIT: In response to my review, the developer promises that they continuously improve the ads experience. That is not what I and others are asking for, and that's actually the opposite of what I experienced. If anything , the ads have gotten WORSE in recent history (more frequent, more annoying, harder to escape). The only improvement that would actually matter is to provide an ad-free option (I'm willing to pay for that, but do not currently have the option to do so). Until then, I've uninstalled the program, because the ads are overwhelming.

My favorite for several years. Past few months, it did have move time delays and freeze up??? Hope this is tweaked as I do not want to give up this game. It's the best one available! Ads are not an issue, especially compared to others. Ads are mostly at the bottom and are not distracting, some ads allow skipping and x-ing out. Only a few 30 second ads. I play all games featured in this collection. Easy on the eyes, addictive yet relaxing. Thanks!

A good collection of different solitaire games. I downgraded my original review of 5 stars for two reasons. Way too many, long length, some sound blasting, intrusive ads, and Klondike daily challenges have become tedious and not relaxing at all! The rest of the challenges are ok, fun. Was seriously considering buying but not anymore. Why be this frustrated, after a frustrating day of work..... Uninstalling. If the app maker can't be bothered then neither can I.

designed strictly as an advertising tool. nothing here for entertainment of player. Too much noise and unable to bypass all the ego building flashing lights when you you win. which is every single game. when's the last time you won every game playing with a deck of cards. too much advertising. and it's all the same ad. over and over. I'm sick of seeing the ad for nano hearing aids. if you use the game's sound off button the advertising still plays full blast. Cheating is called magic.

Crazy game, has many boards, however, an ad prompt keeps coming more and more prevalent in the screen until you can't play without letting it open, at which point it froze the phone, the screen kept radically flashing & I couldn't get out. Once I finally dropped out, & got back in, the screen kept flashing even though the ad was gone. I immediately uninstalled. I hate ALL games that are part of Google play that require game mode, they NEVER work. I wish they would take them ALL out!

The games are mostly great. The problem is the ads. I would definitely pay to get rid of this, but that is not an option. I may not even play this anymore until I have that option, as they are that bad. Also the directions aren't always consistent with game play. As an example, in tripeaks, the directions tell you that you can match doubles. I am not able to do that in game play.

I had to uninstall. I've been playing for a couple of months and would have rated it 4 stars. But all of a sudden today after maybe 2 rounds a Medicare ad pops up that has no way to close - there is no X anywhere on the screen to close it. And using the back arrow does nothing. In order to play again I have to close the app then open again. Even after reinstalling that same annoying ad showed up. Too bad - I enjoyed having the choice of several games.

First I gave 5 stars, cause the gameplay and all is good. Now I am about to delete the game with decreasing the rating. The advertisements before were easy to be shut and removed right away by pressing "back" button. Today it's just awful! After every game, that lasts about 2 minutes, I have to watch the video ad. I cannot do anything to get rid of the ads!!! Annoying!

I love the size of the characters for quick easy recognition but after playing it for a year or more, i recognize the algorithms. Often i know when a certain combo comes up, whats coming next. Im also bored with it now because no matter how much i concentrate, practice, etc i can never get past about 2.5 minutes per game. Somedays i have played 40 or 50 games with never any improvement. The controls are good except ads cover the controls and have yo be removed first. Detrimental to speed.

Update: I have deleted this app and downloaded other apps. The ads drove me away. Since my switch to a new phone, the ads have become INTOLERABLE. The new ads, especially from Facebook and Audible, are LOUD with no way to silence except to mute my phone. And LONG, forcing multiple screens at its own pace, before ever getting back to the game. There are many solitaire apps and it looks like it is the time for me to try some.

This app has been RUINED by ads. I've also had this app for several years and I loved it, especially having all the different variations in one app. Gameplay was great! Now, I have to watch an ad after every screen switch, sometimes two-three ads that can add up to over two minutes before I get back to playing. Considering I'll get through a solitaire round in 2-8 min depending on the version, I'll spend about as much time watching ads as playing the game. Uninstalling now, very bummed.

I loved playing this, but as of recent, i can't do anything without an ad playing first. Like i click into play a game; ad, i beat the game and want to go back to the main screen, ad. It's really frustrating to have to watch ad after ad whenever i want to play, i understand the ads help pay for the app, but it is an unnecessary amount of them. I wish there was an option to do a one time payment to be ad free (minus rewarded ads) i love playing solitare, but i get so frustrated with all the ads

This game use to gave zero ads, and was a great way to spend some time if you love solitaire. Has multiple different solitaire options, played for many years. I got a new phone a few months ago, re-downloaded the app and now there is an ad before and after EVERY SINGLE GAME, it is absolutely ridiculous, I spend more time watching the ads than playing. Not even an option to pay for ad free gaming. Just started looking for a new solitaire app after having this one for over four years.
