Fav app for playing solitaire
Thu Sep 26 2024 graysongatrellRecently I’ve been obsessed with playing solitaire and I’ve had this app since 2019 at least. When school started my mom made me delete it cuz I was spending too much time playing and improving my score, but after a bit I couldn’t take it any more, I had to have it again. I scoured the App Store looking for this exact one but couldn’t find it. Ended up downloading other solitaire apps but it just wasn’t the same, the graphics, the movements, everything abt the other apps was just so unsatisfying. Had to go into my Game Center thing to find this app from all the apps I’ve ever downloaded just to get it back because I couldn’t find it. Don’t love the newest update, but it’s still the best there is and is so calming to me. At the moment this is typed, my best time so far is 20s, I’m hoping to get it into the teens. If u love solitaire this is the best app for it by far<3
Great game… but the ads
Mon Nov 18 2024 lovercandy188Overall this is a great game. I love playing solitaire in this game, and I enjoy the custom background options and card choices. But. The ads are insanely frustrating. I normally don’t have issues with ads that much like it is what it is but these in particular are annoying. For example, if I scroll down on my screen for ONE second, I am flashed with 3 different ads, that I have to x out of. Also why do I have to see 3 ads to play a round? (This only happens once in awhile, some days I don’t have ads) I am just confused why I need to see 3 ads in one whole second. One last thing is, I don’t know why when sometimes I see an ad and try to x out of it, the x bar won’t let me, so I then have to leave the app and come back and I still face 3 ads but this time im able to x out of it properly. And why are the x buttons getting smaller each advertisement? How desperate are people nowadays. It is completely ridiculous. I don’t know if this is JUST me, but it’s so irritating, it makes me want to not play the game sometimes lol. Like I said, this could just be me with the x out error or something.
Better Than Most though still going awry
Sat Jan 20 2024 ttu101Not having tried every one of these ad-based solitaire games (or ad platforms as I sometimes call them) I can only say that so far this is the best of the bunch. It has the most realistic "random" feel (card layout) and is fairly customizable. That said, as with everything else the relentless demand for greater revenue continues to degrade the user experience. Developer suggestions: allow us to turn off the "stack" animation; give those of us with iffy vision an option for larger card faces; exert more control over your ad displays. As to ads, I understand you don't govern them but there's been a real uptick in making it difficult to turn the ad off even after the allocated time. We should not have to close the app to get rid of the ad and as you are (I assume) in the EU you would have a bit more control over deceptive deployments. One other thing: a reset feature - we should not have to dump everything to avoid a too large cache especially as that pertains more to ads. Thank you.
Fun but it’s a scam
Sat May 28 2022 CApncrunch ogI recently got this game and I won my first round, and then after that I kept loosing. I always tried to think super hard about it but I still lost consistently, until I realized it wasn’t because of me. The game was set up in a way for you to lose, the deal was bad. I tested this by using auto hints the entire game, and I still lost. Winning is simply based on if they give you a good deck of cards. Being in IT though, I understand the struggle of coding a game like this that works by random generation, and how hard it is to make the game detect an impossible deal from the moment it starts, but there must be a way. Overall, it works like perfect classic solitaire and the settings are simple yet fun. Just the downside is the faultless losses a player would experience. Especially coming from a competitive person as myself, the game would be a lot more enjoyable to me if I knew I was fully responsible for my wins/loses. That’s why it dropped the rating down two stars for me, because what’s a game like this that doesn’t depend on the player you know?
Needs a few fixes.
Mon Aug 21 2023 Dusk showedI got this game because it’s the only one I can find without a subscription to remove ads. That is the only reason I still have it at this point because as far as game play goes it’s not one of the good solitaire apps. The main issue is their draw 3 games will deal one winnable game out of every maybe 20/30 I play. There’s been several where I restarted the same deal and tried other solutions to win and it was not there, kinda kills the enjoyment when there’s no available moves after making 6 moves. Following that the next thing that bothers me is how slow card flips and moves are. Most other solitaire apps I can complete a game in 50 seconds to 1:15, this one takes about 2 minutes + each game making the same average number of moves. Last thing is more of convenience but it would be nice if when there was no possible moves left the notice about that came up automatically instead of having the scroll the deck multiple times before hitting the hint button.
Best Solitaire game available
Sat Dec 03 2022 Jland45677I have downloaded maybe 6 different versions of solitaire and they all have pros and cons, either the font sizes was off or blurry or auto help was on and couldn’t be turned off, or a version was laggy when clicking on cards in pile then it took 2 or 3 seconds to flip cards or they had monthly charges vs a one time charge, over all they all was decent or great but had one issue from above that made me want to delete it. This version has ZERO issues and non of the problems above and over all is really great. Flawless and it needs a 5 star rating from everyone. I’m in no was attached to the makers I’m a regular user. I hardly ever do reviews but sense I took my hard time to go through like 6 versions I feel that they deserve a good review. I highly recommend this version.
Let me play!
Tue May 07 2024 uber-gooWhy do solitaire game makers insist that we want to watch the card animations and delays? I realize I can just not let it auto complete and select new game from the menu. That brings up the next game quickly, but if I let it auto complete, it delays after the animation a bit before putting up the prompt for new game. Ok, I’ve seen it a million times… just let me get to the prompt quick… maybe a tap or a drag to force it to move on? Otherwise this is a pretty good version of the game.
Update in response to dev response:
I don’t have apps running in the background- memory and cache should not be an issue unless this app has a big leak. Dev response indicates that hangs can be expected without extremely fast internet access- I don’t believe that is my problem, but if it is, a different solitaire game is a better choice or better yet put down the phone and do something more productive. Thanks, though, for responding.
Annoying ads lagging interface
Sat Dec 11 2021 lfint00The game itself is good. However, sometimes I will click the deck to deal more cards and the interface lags. I think that my click didn’t register, so I click again and the pile deals twice. There is no back button, so I can’t get back to the card I should be working with. Sometimes the interface is over sensitive, and I will be resting my thumb on the edge of the screen near the deal pile and it accepts that as input. Once again, no back button.
As for ads, they are between EVERY game, so if it’s a short game and it’s only been a few seconds since I saw an ad, there’s still another ad. If I win a game, a nice prize would be to skip the ad, but no such luck, there is still an ad. One ad with the white background,is impossible to close, so i have to kill the app to close the ad. Also, it would be nice if ads followed the color scheme of my phone- so when I play at night I’m not suddenly bombarded with a white screen.
Must Download
Thu Sep 01 2022 Jasminelv5Best solitaire game out there it’s challenging especially daily challenges it’s simple yet actually challenging and strings offers many variety of things like one or the three cards. Scoring or no scoring. Nice variety of backgrounds, card backs, and card faces. The ads are so short it’s not even funny. Plus it’s only after and or starting a game but you don’t have to watch whole thing like 5 seconds in or so, on the top left corner u will see arrows, click that and ad stops and gives you three things to click after that. The arrow on top right, and the x if you choose not to download, and x again or right corner. SUPER FAST I LOVE IT OBVIOUSLY AND ALSO YOU DONT NEED ANYTHING TO PLAY. NO CHIPS. NO MONEY. NO DIAMONDS. ETC. ETC. ETC. ETC.
Great game, ads with tiny X or no exit at all
Tue Nov 23 2021 Ben_GonThe game itself is a great time killer and with the option for a winning deal, very satisfactory. I get there has to be ads to support a free game but the ad designs are getting very sloppy and buggy. The exit X is TINY. It’s ridiculous. You will hit the ad almost every time which will either send you to the Store or will send you to a website, automatically generating traffic for them and adding the website to your browsing history. The mute button is the same issue. Sometimes there are overlapping buttons or no exit at all and you’re stuck.
It’s getting to the point that I’m just going to delete the app because you can’t stop the ads and now you can’t close or mute them either. When a developer ignores the impact ads have on their UX and just collects the checks, it’s time to move on. It was fun while it lasted.
