If you want updates, you must get the subscription version

This app hasn’t been updated in years and it’s slowly dying.
With the last iPadOS update, the nag banner to sign into gamecenter pops up almost every time the game is started. Yes, Game Center is signed out, yes notifications are off.
If you want the latest updates (and less laggy play) you have to download and install the new version with ads unless you pay a subscription to remove them.
When you do this there is no way of moving all your awards, titles, and scoring from this version to the new one. In other words, over a decade of playing GONE!
If I’m going to lose all game history and pay anyway, after many, many years it’s time to look at a different vendor for solitaire.

Daily Challenge

I do have an internet connection but can’t access the daily challenge.

Excellent, but for one thing...

I use this app daily and find it very soothing. It's become my default way to spend time in waiting rooms.
My only issue with it is that it does not respect my settings for Game Center, and there is always a temporary banner asking me to sign in. If I do sign in, there is a temporary banner telling me I am signed in. The banner obscures the screen and ruins my chances of improving on my best time. I have all notifications turned off for Game Center, so why does it nag me about it? I never use it anyway.

Daily Challenge no solution, no help

Have it the buffers with the Daily Challenge today (25 September 2023) Tried every possible alternative play that I can see and reach a point where there is no way forward. Hints cannot solve it either and there is no “we can see you are having trouble” to show the way to show the solution. Have not had this happen before in all the months / years I have played this otherwise excellent App. Can only think its a bug!

The height of frustration is putting it mildly as there appears no way to solve this hand.

Was great until a couple months ago

App still works great on my iPhone but not my iPad. As other reviewers noted, on the iPad it is delayed to open , then the hand is dealt except for the last card which takes another couple of minutes. My iPad and this app are fully updated so maybe the app, which has not been updated for a couple of years is not compatible anymore for iPad?

Solitaire

Don’t like the new format at all.

This is the one

There is no better solitaire app. This is the one to get. Make no mistake. I’ve tried plenty and this is the one. For more than ten years—more like a dozen-plus years, I have played this happy game. I think it’s a fun way to keep your brain in shape and to quiet a chattering mind.

Review

Too much advertising. Sometimes hard to get out of it.

Failing

Played for years, was a 5 until the last month or so. Game keeps freezing before the Play button will work, & then after the cards are dealt, the card on far right takes a looooong time to turn over before the game can start. VERY Frustrating.
