### 4/5 — Great

*2026-09-02, version 1.33.6*

It’s a great game. I play it all the time. Only downfall is that it logs the player out very often. Please stop that!

### 2/5 — Logging me out every day

*2026-08-29, version 1.33.6*

Im getting bumped out constantly and the new sideways screen there with weird keyboard makes it so hard to log in again. It doesn’t save my username/password and my iPhone doesn’t prompt me to save it. I understandddd.

### 2/5 — Could be a lot better

*2026-08-24, version 1.33.6*

The biggest problem I see with this app besides cheaters is the ads that are offered to watch. Some of them go on for minutes some of them have no way of getting out of them when they should’ve been over with. You need to do better with that.No one should have to sit and watch an ad for two minutes and then have to close the game because there’s no way to get the ad to end.

### 4/5 — Shuffler is inconsistent

*2026-08-13, version 1.33.6*

Good game but the hands dealt are frequently basically unshuffled especially in gin rummy, with winning hands only requiring one or two cards, for or against.

### 2/5 — Glitches ruin the fun

*2026-08-07, version 1.33.6*

The game selection is nice. The aesthetics are nice. The glitches, not nice. The playing algorithm for solitaire won't let you forfeit and start a new game if your only move left is moving a king to a blank space. There are other glitches that I've reported that haven't been fixed.

### 4/5 — Quitting games and points

*2026-08-02, version 1.33.6*

Can you fix the point system when players back out. I play almost a full game and people back out because they’re going lose and nobody in game gets points and player that backed out doesn’t receive any negative points. Big issue on this as it happens all the time and I back out 1 time and get -20 plus points big issues on this matter

### 4/5 — Username/Password issue

*2026-07-23, version 1.33.6*

Why do I frequently have to manually enter my username? It’s aggravating.

### 4/5 — Fun Gameplay

*2026-07-18, version 1.33.6*

Needs more games. What’s there is smooth and well done. However, the old Hoyle Card games had a ton of games including classics like Pinochle. Please add more games like Pinochle

### 4/5 — Pretty good but don’t create an account

*2026-07-15, version 1.33.6*

I like the card games and since I am old school (grew up with Intellivision), I prefer to play bots vs real people. 

My main gripe is how often I get logged out of the game. I even made an account so I can easily track my wins but on the iphone there isn't even a way to save my login credentials. So I just play without logging in ☹️

### 4/5 — New update is horrible

*2026-07-14, version 1.33.6*

Why? Why? Why?  The new layout for solitaire is horrible. The cramped screen is now unplayable

Update…Bicycle has gone back to old version. Thanks!

### 3/5 — Classic favorites

*2026-07-10, version 1.33.5*

Love playing spades, rummy and hearts, with other people. My issue is having to log in again anytime there is an update or change. It won’t allow autofill for your user name. Why do you make the players log in over and over?

### 3/5 — Could improve

*2026-07-08, version 1.33.5*

Even with my tiny delicate hands, it's way too easy to fat-finger plays. Bad UI

### 3/5 — Loses my account

*2026-07-05, version 1.33.5*

Loses my account info and then I can’t sign in. Frustrating! Also allows guests to quit game. If guests quit they should be penalized

### 4/5 — Ok but…updated!

*2026-07-04, version 1.33.5*

Update regarding 1.33.5 - please change Solitaire back to the previous version. You have made the cards too small and difficult to see against the busy background. There was nothing wrong with the previous version and it was accessible for low vision players!

I like the card games and since I am old school (grew up with Intellivision), I prefer to play bots vs real people. 

My main gripe is how often I get logged out of the game. I even made an account so I can easily track my wins but on the iphone there isn't even a way to save my login credentials. So I created an account for nothing. ☹️

### 2/5 — “New look”

*2026-06-27, version 1.33.5*

The layout for solitaire is bass-ackwards and very awkward. I understand that more engineers are left-handed.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible gin rummy

*2026-08-18, version 1.33.6*

This is a bad implementation of gin. The rules are unlike any gin I’ve played and turn a profoundly skillful game into a luck fest. I’m also increasingly suspicious that the card distribution is illegitimate. No brainers are rare in real life gin rummy. No brainers are constantly occurring in this game.

### 1/5 — Ads don’t work and other things

*2026-08-16, version 1.33.6*

There are dozens of opportunities to earn extra currency by watching an ad. Very typical of ads so not by itself a big deal. The problem is that if you watch an ad you will not get credit for it as the ad will take over the app with no way out of it unless you completely close the game. The game also logs you out frequently which seems to defeat the point of having a login to begin with. A lot of small frustrations on what could be a very pleasant experience and great way to get people into their physical card packs. But just comes off as lazy.

### 1/5 — Cheaters ruin it

*2026-08-13, version 1.33.6*

Used to love playing multiplayer card games here, but the cheaters just make it unbearable. People team up by starting private games together and then going public or using guest accounts. What’s the point? Bicycle needs to try and fix these issues or at least give players the option to report. It isn’t even fun anymore.

### 1/5 — You will play against a computer that stacks deck against you if you win.

*2026-08-11, version 1.33.6*

I don’t recommend you play. I have played for over 3 years. And the computer will start only giving you losing hands if you win too much. Terrible algorithm. Play for fun and don’t expect a fair game.

### 1/5 — Fix the glitch!!!

*2026-07-21, version 1.33.6*

Caligurl CHEATS and doesn’t lose points for being a quitter!

### 1/5 — Shame on you USPCC

*2026-07-16, version 1.33.6*

Has good potential, but since the start in 2021 Spades and Hearts are loaded with cheaters that have super powers enabled by the game developers. They quit any game they are losing without penalty, and you actually get their penalty points in Spades. Nice. This has been going on for 5 years. Incompetent marketing department.

### 1/5 — Another data scalper

*2026-07-16, version 1.33.6*

Can’t use without sharing your email to get more junk.   Uninstalled

### 1/5 — Gin is broken

*2026-06-30, version 1.33.5*

I have never won a game of gin at all. Not even against bots. They constantly knock before I even get a turn. Stupid and broken

### 1/5 — The update sucks

*2026-06-26, version 1.33.5*

I updated the app expecting good things. What I got was a solitaire game that is terrible. The cards are too small and difficult to read. The layout is ugly. 

I vastly prefer the old layout with large cards and an elegant layout. 

Solitaire is about the only game I play. Please scrap this update and return to the old style.

### 1/5 — Hate the solitaire update!

*2026-06-23, version 1.33.5*

The cards are dramatically smaller on my iPad and all attempts to adjust size in my settings failed.

### 5/5 — “New look”

*2026-07-20, version 1.33.6*

The layout for solitaire was bass-ackwards and very awkward. I understand that more engineers are left-handed. This “downdate” has been fixed.

### 5/5 — Format

*2026-07-17, version 1.33.6*

I am so excited to see you went back to old format I can play better now - I didn't think you would change it back for left handed people so glad you did

### 5/5 — Updated back to classic layout

*2026-07-16, version 1.33.6*

At 47, I am officially old. When this app updated to an unfamiliar layout for a game I’ve played since the 1900’s, my brain melted down. But the developers listened to feedback and gave us the option to use the classic layout. This is one of a couple of games I enjoy playing. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Fun time killer

*2026-07-14, version 1.33.6*

Thanks for bringing back the old version!!

### 5/5 — Solitaire New Look?

*2026-07-14, version 1.33.6*

Loved playing this solitaire game until the new solitaire version came out.  Now based on user feedback they have reverted to the original layout and all is well!  Thanks!

### 5/5 — New Solitaire Layout

*2026-06-30, version 1.33.5*

Not a fan of the new solitaire layout.  I play on an iPad mini and the layout is just too small for me to see.  I prefer the old layout.  Still love the app overall and it’s free so beggars can’t be choosers.

### 5/5 — Don’t like your upgrade

*2026-06-29, version 1.33.5*

We have been playing this game with much enjoyment. Until you upgraded it to the current version. Numbers are too small for my old eyes.  Plus for some reason. We aren’t winning as often. It’s not as much fun as it was.

### 5/5 — latest update

*2026-06-23, version 1.33.5*

New Solitaire layout is nice. However, on my iPad the cards are now too small. With no way to change the size, it's frustrating, and I won't be able to play. Please fix this in an update soon.

### 5/5 — Live mode

*2026-06-22, version 1.33.5*

The app is great, but it’s annoying when people quit when they have a bad hand they should be penalized like 5% of their points and they should go to the people that didn’t quit.  Also playing partners shouldn’t be punished just the quitter.

### 5/5 — Leaving games

*2026-05-23, version 1.32.1*

Thank you for finally penalizing people for leaving the game if they are losing. And crediting people who stay. I now see someone purposely stalling so people will leave so they get points. There will always be cheaters, but the fixes are well appreciate


I am frustrated by not giving a lot of points to people who win with higher ratings when the  others rating is low, but only a couple higher than other players. .Same goes for the huge loss of points when you lose and have the highest rating.     That’s why people quit or cheat. I do not.
