Too many ads with blaring audio!
In January they started ads that switch off my Audio stream when an ad displays. Why do they continue these tactics trying to force people to buy the game? This really backfired on them! Now I completely ignore the ad and close the game. Previously I would watch the ad and then start the new game. It’s actually much quicker than watching the ad and continuing to the next game. Now I don’t even have to see one second if the ad.
I was contemplating finally buying the game but Solebon quickly changed my mind with this last lame gimmick.
We’ll have to see they come to their senses and quit screwing up!
Time to look for a game that does not freeze and force advertisements with blaring audio in the middle of the game. One ad is ok, two ads is pushing it. Ads with loud audio should not be allowed. This is crazy, having a quiet game and all of a sudden an ad with audio starts blaring out.
Soon there will be more ads than game timeShow lessTelcoTom

This is a good game to play while waiting for someone or when at the Doctors waiting again and just filling in time but the best of all the game keeps your brain thinking all the time & when you are thinking about different things you aren’t letting your brain cells die but if you don’t like this solitaire game there are so many others you can use to keep your brain alive 🥇✅✅Show lessUp tote
Formerly A 5 Star Solitaire Game
Have enjoyed Solebon Solitaire for years, worked through updates, appearance changes, etc... Game now has a very annoying “third party” ad that wants my apps list, email settings and more to give me a personalized experience, yeah right!!! Plus it won’t take the “I Refuse” selection seriously, hourly I have to refuse again and again...
Solebon Support claims it’s a third party issue and is out of their control... guess I’ll have to play in airplane mode from now on.Show lessNYCS Trainutt

That isn’t us. It’s some 3rd party advertiser. Check our privacy policies to see that nothing has changed.Free
Update - you should have read the ad permissions after the last update!! Wow they actually asked for everything! Browsing history and bookmarks full list etc etc! Who actually reads that and says yes? Gotta find an alternative for this old favourite! this is one of the first ever apps I downloaded. Gonna be a shame to move on! The actual app is brill! I hope there is an add free paid version!
It’s free so what’s to complain about right?
One ad! You can’t clear it! To use the app you have to completely shut it down and restart!
I don’t mind the ads as this is the best cards app I’ve come across but that one ad has me looking elsewhere!
Such a shame.Show lessjockfirth

I had been playing these games-and enjoying them-for a long time, until today. I read the new privacy statement and was a bit taken aback by the amount of information they collect. Things like what other apps I have on my phone and my browsing history are way too much for a measly game. I’m now looking for something else. Bye, bye.Show lessGatsby7248
Excellent except for the ads
I love this app and have played, sadly, 40,000 games but the ads after every single game drive me crazy. You’d think that you’d give us a break after playing your game so many times. They’re irritating and go completely ignored. Some even crash the game. Some ads are so difficult to turn off because there’s no consistency in the size and location of the “X”. Some are located so far up in the corners and are so small that you have to poke at them two to five times to turn them off. If you have a phone case it’s sometimes nearly impossible. How about providing some consistency in the size and location of the “X”s or better yet give long time players a break on the ads completely. Haven’t we payed the price and seen enough ads after many thousands of games. Provide some incentive to players that after they reach a threshold they know the ads can be turned off. My bet is people stop playing because of the annoying ads. I know you need to make money and that’s fair but player loyalty should be rewarded not perpetually cursed.Show lessRonHeiden
Endless hours of fun & challenge
I have spent many hours battling with this superb Solitaire. The fact that you now have targets to aim for adds to the ability ’to undo’ your errors makes it great fun, whether it’s for a few minutes whilst you wait for the kettle to boil or longer whilst the chicken roasts, it’s always greatGrandad Rog
Statistics
It’s a well formatted game with great play options.
Just needs to recognise times you complete in the same or less number of moves along with the present recognitionsminin driver
Latest IPad update,
Between games there used to be an ad for the game which could be dismissed immediately, now I have a blank screen which lasts for ten seconds then an x appears in the top left corner, I can them restart playing. It is annoying to say the least, when I play for an extended time those ten seconds ad up, as I said annoying.Show lesstolmij
Great App
I love this App. One of the great things is being able to compare your performance to everyone else who has played the hand. I keep my stats and like to see where I fit in
One suggestion: When you do better than what is already in the stats (either in fewer moves or less time) the banner that says “You Won” should do more than it does when you complete a hand with more moves than previous players - perhaps more color?Show lessJhamilt3
