Leave a Review Solitaire by MobilityWare
Great app but update has problems.
I’ve been a long time fan of this app. However with the recent update there have been two problems for me. First, the time and battery status are no longer visible at the top of the app. Second, every time I leave the app to check those - or do anything in another app - the app has to completely reload when I return before I can resume the game. In the past that wasn’t the case. I’d love to see those issues addressed.
I appreciate having the status bar back. One other problem I didn’t mention in my original review. I wear Bluetooth hearing aids and the app takes control of them and won’t allow the hearing aid app to function while I’m playing. Would really like that addressed.Show lessBartaloni
Thank you.
Update to 4 stars: the latest release brought back the status bar and snappiness in card movements so I’ll download to my other devices. Thank you. I still find the large size and blinking play button annoying but I’m glad you made the latest fixes to my favorite Solitaire game.
Prior comments: Have been using this App for years. The newest update is so annoying and frustrating, that the game I’ve enjoyed playing is now a COMPLETE turnoff. It’s too slow to load. Keeps asking annoying questions and stays on way to long. I use to jump into the next game, now I’m forced to wait for the congratulatory comments to stop. The flashing play button is distracting. I could go on. I wished I would have read the reviews for this version before downloading. I’ve not downloaded this version on my other devices and have no intention of doing so.Show lessJudy D.

I loved this game so much I purchased the full $5 app with no ads. I’ve literally played over 10,000 games with this app. This new update is terrible. It glitches constantly when I attempt to play it. It’s much slower than it used to be, so trying to finish a game faster to get a higher score is impossible. The new layout isn’t bad, except the leaderboard is so close to where you pick a card that I touch it almost every single time, which pauses my game and it starts glitching again. At least twice now when I try to play a winning hand, it will deal and then when I start to play the cards disappear. I honestly don’t hate the new layout, aside from the leaderboard, the game just needs some tweaks. Customer service is no help. I emailed them over a week ago, and they haven’t emailed back. Even though the automatic email stated that I would be replied to within 48 hours. I’ve already attempted to delete the app and reinstall it, force stop the app, and turning my phone off and on again. Nothing works. I’m about to find a new solitaire app.Show lessAlmathea67
Liking it Less with new Display Format
For a while now I have been frustrated with this game. For years I’ve loved playing the game after a very challenging work day. It relaxed me and let me chill out and get ready to sleep. In about the last year or 6 months it has become very frustrating, kind of like a difficult day at work! Instead of having fun and feeling successful, it seems you can win less and less. More frustrating than fun. I guess it’s just me but other friends have commented on this too. Now after the latest update, you can’t go right into the game. The blue screen is slow as you wait to get into the regular green screen where you can just start playing. I find myself less engaged in a game that I enjoyed every evening. It’s disappointing.Show lessJSanibel

Hi JSanibel! Thank you for your review. Your feedback is invaluable to our team and our future development plans. All daily challenges are solvable. They all come from a pool of Winning Deals and have game numbers associated with them. Some are easy, some are difficult so keep trying to solve it. If you are stuck, you can press the Daily icon on the toolbar bar, then tap the graph icon (far left icon) which will take you to the leaderboard option of the daily prompt. This will then have an option for you to select "Show Me How to Win". Also, our game developers love to receive any suggestions and comments that will improve Solitaire and would like to hear from you! Please open the game Settings, select Support and then Contact Us to send more details about how we can improve your game experience. Thank you for your feedback.New version needs some work, but nice
I also am tired of having to wait for the first screen to disappear. I have pretty much got used to the abbreviated cards, but don’t prefer them. They and the card outlines in back take up so much room it feels crowded, and I don’t like having the outlines in the background while your new and mostly great (I hate the martial swords and the clown face, which you kept) animations perform. And I wish you had more choice of thematic backgrounds, this year you keep messaging in this and another game that a new background is available, but it always turns out to be the same seasonal background as last year or the year before. And if you had all the time in the world, which I know I am not paying for much of it, I would love to see those original old card faces you mentioned on one first page! But I find the game relaxing while I think - at least until one takes 30 minutes to solve - and love it.Show lessSua2385
Don’t Change When Ahead!
Dear Mobility Ware,
I’ve been a faithful user of your Solitaire game for quite a while. I started using it for free until I decided I really liked it & paid. Without the ads, I loved the fast way it came on, the moment I tapped the icon. THEN, you thought you were the best & changed things! Now, when I tap the icon, I have to read about how great you are & wait while the four card faces light up. ALSO, you’ve changed the graphics & made them “cartoon-like”, which seems to slow things down even more! PLEASE stop changing things & making the game worse! You said you were “the best”, then did this! I don’t mind changes for the better, but this is ridiculous!!!Show lessChrisrs2000
Want to get to the game!
Overall, the latest update is good, but with the mobility ware, page, then the solitaire facts/ads for other games/game info page, it takes time to get to the game. I play this game numerous times daily, and going through these pages every time I go to the app is getting annoying! I’ve already seen all the the second pages numerous times. If these must be there, at least add a way to click through or skip them. Even if I want to read them, I am a fast reader and still end up waiting.
I would also like other options for card faces. The current ones are basically the same except larger font. Would even like to see a complete card face.
Took a deeper look and compared with the free/last version. In the update there are fewer card face styles - not including the one I had been using, and no choice for card spots. I prefer no outline. I do appreciate the no more moves flash on the play button, but that’s about the only thing I see as an “improvement”.Show lessLow carber

First try at update didn’t work right...had to delete then re-install app to get a working product. Even after that, several settings are different in a bad way. Can’t turn off timed game without also turning off the score, and so on. My favorite mode of play is no longer supported, independent of time while still showing score. And I don’t care about the number of moves, but I have to have it if I want to see the score. Don’t have any idea why they collapsed several independent settings into one setting, makes those settings essentially useless. In other words, it’s not much fun to play anymore. I’m currently shopping for a different solitaire game that works the way it should. Too bad, previous version was fine, new re-write is just broken.Show lessMr.InBetween
Newest update has ruined my favorite game!!
I don’t think I’ve actually ever written an app review but after the newest update to the app I’ve probably had the longest I just had to. I can’t stand the new update, I used to love the random slider and just getting either a random game or a winning game, I don’t like having to pick if I want a winning game or a random game. The new graphics and animations give me a feeling this game will now be another battery drain, even with the animations clicked to minimize. I dislike how zoomed in it feels, I feel like it was optimized for a toddler to play. The cards appear to not move as smoothly as before either. I’m just super unimpressed and really regret updating the app, I wish I could go back to the previous version. Now I’m going to have to find another solitaire app to download :(Show lessk-meow
Great company, great game, cards easy to read
Great game and intuitively the place tools. My only challenge these days is they just upgraded the program and it runs much slower. It’s slower to open, slow to re-open if you open another app, keep it open in the background, and then go back to. Also, now much slower when it auto completes after being prompted. It was much faster before the update. I really appreciate the fact that the moment Yep realizes that your hand is a losing hand, after many various choices in a game, it lets you know they flashing play icon. I stop the game at that point and either start another one or replay the game to see if I can win it. Beyond its recently being slowed down, it’s a great app.Show lessmjbuzzy
