Leave a Review Pyramid Solitaire
24 second lag time before game starts
Have been a loooong time subscriber to this MobilityWare Pyramid game. Love it. Play it every day. In recent weeks I’ve noticed that there is a delay between when a new game opens until the first card can be played. I’ve used a stop watch to time it multiple times. 24 seconds. There’s a 24 second delay before the first card can be played when a game opens! This only happens on my iPad, which is up to date with the current iPad OS. It does not happen with my other MobilityWare games on the iPad. Why 24 seconds? Would that be the space of time for ads to run, so with my paying not to see the ads, I still have to deal with a delay to play? 24 seconds is very frustrating. I love the game. I hope there is a fix soon. Thank you.Show lessPatsy W
Ads
I wrote you awhile ago mentioning I loved you ap but get irritated when the adds last so long, and esp that they cut off Pandora which I listen to while I play Spider or FreeCell. I pay extra monthly to NOT get ads on Pandora. Then I get them on Mobility! It’s frustrating. Esp sine this app is REALLY LOUD, EXTRA LONG, and I need to go on Pandora to reconnect. You asked me to send you which game it was…..so I hope this goes thru.
Thanks for listening.Show lesscesexton
Loud ads
I like the game, play it fairly often but hate the loud ads. The sound on my phone is turned off and there should be NO reason for the ads to come through my speakers. I have no complaints about how the game plays but will delete this app if it is not fixed.
*update July 11* The ad that I had an issue with no longer blares through my speakers. It seems it automatically turns down the volume when it comes on now. Thanks much! I am adding 2 stars.Show lessChill_Dogg_
Too Many and Too Long Ads
I know all apps are using ads, but this is ridiculous. After every game you’re made to watch another lengthy ad. Of course, you can pay for the app, along with automatic renewals, that removes the ads. Aside from the ads, I love the app and have for years. Wish there was some way to pick the cute little winning display if you win. Or, someway to pick our favorites. I saw a new one I loved, but I also know it will probably be months before I get to see it again - a dancing stick man! So cute!Show lessFht364
Goodbye Mobility
I have always preferred Mobility to other apps. That changed when they updated Pyramid Solitaire. My app rarely opens. When it does it is with an ad then several questions regarding payment. Come on Mobility, loyalty for a decade should count for something. I don’t buy apps and I never will.
UPDATE: I can’t play the April 30th, 2021 game on any of my Mobility games without paying $1.99 a month. If I had extra money for games I would definitely spend it on nutritional food that I can no longer afford! Americans have always been greedy but not everyone is doing well in this pandemic economy. Thanks for ruining a small pleasant part of my day Mobility developers. I’m deleting all your games from my phone.
UPDATE: Developer contacted me trying to find out what problems I’m having. Duh, if you can’t read I suspect you are a bot of some sort and can’t understand the concept of GREEDShow lessBayColonyWoman

We look forward to hearing from you!Copies what’s in your clipboard on startup
Why does a game need to know what information is stored in my clipboard? Looks like they want to steal private information that I have just copied. This could be passwords, credit card information, or anything you needed to paste anytime prior to opening up this game. I’m going to stop playing the game and maybe you should too.
Reply from support says they don’t use our data nefariously! They didn’t deny they are doing this. Can you give me one reason why you need to know what I copied in another application when you load your game? It’s just a GAME! I may have just copied my credit card number to paste into a trusted site and now you have that information too. Stealing all this unneeded personal information may also explain why it takes soooo long to load!Show lessJimmy the K
Update - Not joining a team!
So, the developers really do pay attention to these reviews! Thanks so much. I really hated a new feature (teams) and wrote the one star review below. I was emailed not long after the review, thanking me for my feedback, and mandatory teams are now gone! This is my absolute favorite game, I am back to playing it everyday. The daily goals are fun, gameplay is well executed, and the rotating and seasonal backgrounds are also fun. Great job, keep it up!
*(This used to be my go to Solitaire, played it every day. Now I have to join a team to play!? Forget it, I’m now done. I’ll check back a few times to see if they get rid of teams, but if they’re going to insist that I can’t just play the game, I’m done. No to teams!!!)*Show lessHermF

Hi there, thank you for the updated review! We're happy to hear that you are continuing to enjoy our app. If you have any questions or feedback, please Contact Us. Thanks for playing!Too many ads.
This is my very favorite great game of all time but to have an ad after each game is just an immense waste of my time.
I will instead spend my free time on games that don’t have an ad after each game.
I know you have to make money and all that stuff but other games can do it without all those ads you could too.
I am really sorry it Has to be this way.Show lessDon9194
Disappearing Game
I love pyramid solitaire however, this is my third or fourth time I’ve had to get out of it and I’ll get it again which is irritating! It runs for a few weeks and then all of a sudden it freezes or some other stupid game that constantly is running through as an ad when you’re playing the game freezes and you can’t get past it to get back to the pyramid solitaire!And then when you go in to get it again you can’t find the word “get” so I don’t know how you get it back.Show lessJacque Lou
Plain is best.
I enjoy a variety of games and, surprisingly most of them are Mobility. There’s a good reason for that. I like to play “the game” without an inane bunch of additional ridiculously unrelated nonsense. I’ve come across several solitaire games which add cartoon characters that must be made to do increasingly dumb things in order for you to gain access to the actual game you’re attempting to enjoy. Give me Mobility and their actual games. I’ll stick with you for as long as you continue to offer the real solitaire, mahjong, etc. not some kindergarten nonsense. Thank you!Show lessElfy136
