Leave a Review Pyramid Solitaire
It’s Mobility
Mobility has brought us great games that have been free of stupid rules. More than that, Mobility has not shown the horrendous greed that others have shown. Mobility has ads that don’t frustrate a player. They don’t freeze up, they’re not overly frequent. There are no trick ads that appear to be part of the game and trick us into signing up for something we don’t want. Yay Mobility!
Additional info: Mobility listens. I complained that a banner ad covers the bottom buttons and I had to close & reopen the game to redeal. Now, I can move the banner and while holding it away from the buttons, I can tap the button I need.
Thanks, Mobility!Show lessPerfectNot
Card games
Your card games are great! I have at least 6 of them, maybe more. Great time passers, and the variety keeps me coming back daily. I check to make sure that I complete my goals, so that I can play the next game. One rule for picking my games, and it is a big one; I like to listen to my music as I play. It is a great, I won’t play games that won’t let my music stay playing. It keeps me coming back. Oh, I don’t like the spiderette game that is insider the Spider game. Once I have finish the Spiderette game I get locked in Spiderette and sometimes I have to power down my phone. Other than that, I really enjoy your games!! Thank you!Show lessJrnmom
Advertising
I religiously play a couple games of Solitaire each morning over coffee. I didn’t used to have time for this, but now I am retired and enjoy this. I understand the need for advertisements in order for the developers and company to continue providing daily games, but I am quite tired of sitting through 30 second women’s undergarments. I wish there were a way to target your audience. As a male, I have never bought, nor plan to buy a bra. This is why I only gave four stars rather than five. I must admit that at times I have even left the game because this particular ad showed up again. I hope the company considers this.Show lessOld timer male
Unplayable
I like playing Pyramid, but this version has become unplayable. First, the ads are all videos that have to play before every single hand, which means the time spent playing the game versus watching an ad is comparable. Second, it lags badly, an issue I’ve never experienced with any other app I’ve used. I’m talking 20-30 seconds to open and then the game freezes for about 10 seconds after the first move or two. Third, it doesn’t play well with m iOS update 17.1.2. Since that update, it crashes fairly frequently and sometimes causes the whole phone to freeze so I can’t even exit out of the app to try to load it again. Fortunately, Pyramid is a generic game, so I’m just going to find a different version.Show lesswritergirl_xx

I’ve had this game on my iPad for about 3 years and enjoyed it, despite the ads. Most of those ads stopped after after two to three presses of the arrow in upper left. Then comes Royal Match! It is the most obnoxious ad possible. An inane game which takes 6-7 presses of the arrows and the Done button on the pop ad app page. I do not like paying for games and must suffer the smaller ads. Royal Match is the only ad that takes only 4 presses to get rid of. That is at least a small improvement, though most ads on this game take 2-3 to delete. All in all it is a great game to play, especially when waiting in line anywhere!Show lessWeather Phobic

Aside from the over-abundance of extremely annoying ads (over and over for the same app - I hate Royal Match!) I found a bug in the levels above 180 for Expedition. Whenever I’m about to start the next level and it says “2000 diamonds” to play, and I play, my bank goes down by over 3000. I’ve got the screen shots to prove it, but unfortunately can’t link them in a review. This has been happening level after level since about 180 (I’m currently at 204). For example, my bank was at 57,610 and it said playing level 198 would cost 2000 diamonds. But when I started level 198, my bank dropped to 54,180 (cost: 3430). About ready to delete this app from my iPhone if it keeps up. Hard enough to maintain my bank (I spend more time watching ads than playing the game) but now they’re taking more than advertised in order to play.Show lesssparkee engineer

I love Pyramid. I often try to clear the board AND the pile, but I don't play in Clear All mode, where I MUST do so to win.
I'd love a mode where I win by clearing the board by get a bonus for clearing the pile too.
One change needed for that is that clearing the board doesn't end the game if there are cards on the pile. I am a little disappointed when I have 3 cards in the pile, and the middle card matches the top card on the board, e.g. top card is Q and pile is 9-A-4.
Once I clear the board with the A, I could match the 9-4 in the pile - but the game ends with no chance to grab that last pair.
Why not just play Clear All? Because I would lose frequently even if I've been very clever about clearing the board. I have to win often enough to want to keep playing!
I wonder if this would be a fairly easy enhancement, and if others also might like it? I still get a thrill when I do clear all, an extra 50 pts would get a little more dopamine flowing!
All is good, love the game, but that would be a great new mode IMO.Show lessrreid740
To many ads
Mobility has some of the best games available and I enjoy playing a little everyday. That being said don’t waste your time downloading them if you don’t want to spend more time getting out of their over abundance of ads than you spend playing the games. The amount of ads has increased dramatically over the last year and often pop up in the middle of a game. I have three of their solitaire games and have noticed the increase in ads in all three
Update: After receiving your response I can only add that you have still doubled or tripled the number of ads in the last year are so and they often pop up during the game itself. Say what you want but they are also more time consuming and harder to get out of.Show lessApache Boot Maker

Hi there, Thanks for the review. We appreciate your feedback! I'm sorry that you're unhappy with the ads in the app. Ads should provide a close or skip option in the form of an "X", fast forward "arrow" symbol, or something similar. If this option is missing or misbehaving for an ad you're seeing, please Contact Us so we can fix it!Ads are horrendous
I’ll temporarily raise this to a 5 star review based on the fact that I was immediately contacted and they are wanting to help me correct the problem. I have to respect a developer who does that.
I love playing this game, but I’m going to quit because of the ads. I expect ads, but when you have to X out of ads 13 times to get to the game that is ridiculous. If it was 13 different ads that might be a different thing, but this is 1 ad 13 times. I wouldn’t play the advertised game if they gave it to me. I won’t buy, or play any game when the ads are ridiculous!Show lessroloir

I love the game, and I understand that advertising allows it to be free. However, most of the ads are 3 screens (sometimes 4 screens) to click through AND it will show an X to close the ad, but the X first opens the App store. If they showed a timer and kept it simple like other games do, it would be far less frustrating. The number and length of ads is excessive.
Still I’ve been playing for about a year. I typically play daily. It’s enjoyable and keeps me thinking logically.
If advertising was reasonable or even clearly defined, I would give the app a 5 star rating.Show lessSadjakr
