Before the update the highest amounts of points awarded would be between 15 and 11. I love playing the game but it is worth more than 4 points when I win without using any hints. I only rated the game 3 stars because of the points awarded. Before the update it would have received 5+ stars. **Developer response:** Should not have changed but will check the issue! Thank you! ### 4/5 — Enjoyable app *2024-01-11* I’ve enjoyed playing this app on my iPad for many years but latest version crashes on opening, even after deleting. Please fix! **Developer response:** Please update to the latest version. ### 4/5 — ABC solitaire *2022-12-23* Like it, but a pause button would be nice. Thank you. ### 5/5 — ABC Solitaire *2022-11-10, version 16.5* I already bought this game once. I updated and now I have this banner that I can’t get rid of. I just want to play the game when I want to and not have to worry about who is playing and if they want to play with me. I enjoy this game but never look for other people. I play when there’s no internet or I’m waiting for an appointment. There’s no reason to start messing around with the game. Sheesh! ### 5/5 — Super mind numbing game! *2022-11-06* Love love this game! Great my mind numbing play! ### 5/5 — ABC Solitaire always a great way to relax *2022-10-16* Thanks ### 4/5 — No more matches *2022-07-18* This game is addictive and I play it for hours at a time. However, I hate wasting time when there are no moves remaining. PLEASE add a notice when there are no moves remaining!!!!! Could you please add a notification informing us when there are no more plays to be made? Some of us look long and hard wasting time trying to find the next move which doesn't even exist. Thanks bunches!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Best ever *2022-06-28* Addictive! Love it. ### 5/5 — No commercial *2022-05-15, version 10.1.1* Best game ever I have been of this game for many years and the best part there are no stupid ads ### 5/5 — Fun game *2021-12-24* Hey ABC game administrators Would you please modify the game so that I can listen to my radio on my device while playing the game? Please and thanks. ### 5/5 — ABC SOLITAIRE *2018-09-16, version 9.9.18* J’adore ce jeu, tout en concentration, sitôt que j’ai du temps libre, je m’y réfugie.... et je ne vois pas le temps passé....en auto, en avion, à l’urgence, j’y joue partout..... fait travailler les neurones 2ème avis: Dieu que j’aime ce jeu...... j’y ai jouer encore une grande partie de la journée aujourd’hui..... je relaxe dans ma piscine....je suis dans ma bulle.... quelle belle journée ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2018-05-30, version 9.9.18* Been playing this game for several years now. Even if I don’t play for a while it is always one I keep going back to. ### 3/5 — It's working yet *2017-08-01* It's fun when it works ### 5/5 — A great game well supported by developer *2017-04-03, version 9.3* This game has developed over the years and improved until it is now a daily must for me, gets the old grey matter working. Excellent! ### 3/5 — Why have they changed the rules? *2016-12-01, version 9.2.0* This game was better when we could get an extra hint. You must use one hint to see if it is worth playing or not; otherwise it can get boring if you try to play and there are fewer than five pairs. ### 5/5 — Boredom buster *2016-11-30, version 9.2.0* This game keeps u occupied for hours. Just love it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid to remove ads but didn’t go away *2026-01-04* Paid to remove ad banner for 6 months and it’s not gone. **Developer response:** Thank you for feedback. Will check it soon! ### 1/5 — Ugh *2022-10-29* Scrolling ADs ruined the game! Whatever you do, don’t update to the newest version. 🙁 ### 1/5 — Swindled *2022-10-27, version 16.1* Having paid for ad free version the latest update allows annoying adverts to constantly pop up spoiling the game. ### 1/5 — Update *2016-04-09, version 8.9.1* What has happened to slide function since update? This once fun game is now almost impossible and really irritating. ### 1/5 — Abc solitaire problem *2016-04-09, version 8.9.1* After I ran the latest update of ABC Solitaire it does not work correctly on my iPad. You can't drag the letters or numbers. What's up with that ### 1/5 — Very Dissatisfied *2015-07-12, version 8.7* Can't get it to play, after multiple downloads and deletes. ### 1/5 — DONT DO THE LATEST UPDATE! *2013-12-31, version 8.1* The newest update has a flashing banner covering the first row of letters saying take a snapshot and share. DELETED THIS APP!!! Boo to the persons who thought this was a good idea. I certainly won't buy your app now. ### 1/5 — P....d Off *2012-07-15, version 5.5* Agree with comments from player from Pharoeh Isles. Each update has made the game worse. On my I touch it still closes itself down when it feels like it, on my I pad every time you undo a move it closes itself down. When you open it up again the game you were playing is completely lost. Not that matters because there is no pause function so you have lost precious seconds anyway! All of these updates have completely ruined the game, even thinking of asking Apple to reimburse me the purchase price! Now rate it at 0 out of ten ### 2/5 — Buy *2023-03-16* I’ve paid for it but constantly I was asked to buy again. What’s wrong? ### 2/5 — ABC Solataire *2016-05-17, version 8.9.5* I love this game it's a game that makes you look for strategic moves in order to clear the board, I'm not concerned about the time aspect I'm into clearing the board without asking for a hint, its like a rubics cube figure out how the puzzle comes together ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Abc solitaire *2025-12-03* Excellent frustrating game ### 5/5 — Best game *2025-09-15* Never get tired of playing this. It’s my go to. ### 5/5 — ABC *2025-05-16* Not addictive but engaging. It is really helpful to concentrate and focus when my mind has been over active with work. I too see the tiles on the ceiling when I turn the light off. I've even chosen Lotto numbers that way at the end of a dream. Thanks, you've done a good thing. ### 5/5 — ABC solitaire *2024-09-24* Great food for the brain ### 5/5 — ABC *2024-09-06* Not addictive but engaging.

This is a totally new twist Word/Solitaire/Puzzle games. It is addictive but I enjoyed the challenge so much that I just had to purchase it. ### 5/5 — ABC *2023-11-10* Not addictive but engaging.
