### 3/5 — Ads

*2026-08-30, version 1.60.0*

I have enjoyed playing this game for years without ads. Now with an ad after each course takes away the desire to play this game as often as before.

### 2/5 — Recent update has slowed down loading and functions…

*2026-08-27, version 1.60.0*

Very annoying that after Last most recent update, (the app on iPad) not only takes for ever to open, but so do games inside the app as well. I am not going to be forced to reinstall and start from the beginning! I have no desire to lose all my progress. You should respond when I sent you 2 tickets already, but all I’ve gotten are generic responses and no help. You should definitely address this problem with some kind of bug fix. I can’t possibly be the only one having this problem.

### 2/5 — All ADs!

*2026-08-11*

More ads than game play. Paid not to have ads but receive them anyway. Customer service refuses to respond.

### 2/5 — Too many ads!

*2026-08-08, version 1.60.0*

I’ve had this game for 10+ years and have loved it until recently. I purchased this game in hoping to keep ads away. Up until the last few years it had been great! Now you are inundated with ads. It’s beyond frustrating especially when I had spent money on this game👎🏻

### 3/5 — Negative golf bucks

*2026-08-06, version 1.60.0*

Been waiting over 2 months for the team to correct the negative 10000 bucks I start out with every week. .

### 3/5 — Daily courses no longer download

*2026-08-05*

I’ve been playing for years, but recently the daily courses stopped downloading. Please fix.

### 4/5 — Fairway Solitaire

*2026-08-04*

Very addictive - I don’t particularly like the new version, I liked the way it was before. Now you don’t know what the amount you are supposed to have on the hole and most of us know how to read , so by changing the format it is not that enjoyable, so please change it back. Now that you have changed it back, I wish that you would have sales on the Midas clubs more often. I found lately that they changed the rules of the game and I find I don’t like it anymore, it’s more of cash grab, you can’t collect the chips anymore, so you can’t contribute to your club.

### 1/5 — purchased no ads

*2026-07-12*

sent a complaint about ads as I have purchased and paid for no ads ... still have ads after many inquiries with responses of ‘working on the issue’ ... 2 months later and am still interrupted with this ... boo

### 2/5 — New update

*2026-06-30, version 1.59.1*

I really enjoyed this game until this latest update. This latest update reset my game where I had over 500,000 points and other achievements. I tried to start the game over and each time I leave it for a couple of days it resets itself. I have removed the app and I’m gonna try to install it again and see. If that works otherwise I’m kinda done.

### 1/5 — Winnings now useless

*2026-06-28*

I now don’t get excited when it’s gorilla goods or similar at the moment I’m playing it’s gorilla goods and all I get is extra cards or prevoews which I don’t use the prizes are rubbish now they used to be excited and I wanted to play more now I don’t and it’s really annoying that after every game bloody advertisement! What’s that put in for except to put regular long time players look elsewhere!pleaseake the game exciting again more great prizes and no adverts!

### 2/5 — The Disappearing Numbers.

*2026-06-25*

I hate when I open up the game and it’s the disappearing numbers. It ruins the game.

### 3/5 — Ads- DO NOT WASTE YOUR SERENITY

*2026-06-23, version 1.59.1*

I have been w fairway for years. Loved the concept of solitaire. The greed of the cmpy is crazy; ads on top of ads on top of ads, which was not the case. It started when you needed extra clubs you were limited but had to watch an ad. Ok. Cool. Now AFTER EVERY HOLE YOU HAVE TO WATCH AN AD! F’n RIDICULOUS! It’s already rigged with card choices you’ll go so long with winning then you will get stomped and not clear your holes for a long time, esp if you didn’t req clubs to watch the ads! I’m so disappointed with this game. I escape from ads on tv, paid tv and now mobile games. There is no earthly reason to pop up an ad EVERY TIME YOU CLEAR A SECTION, there’s NO GOD AWFUL REASON for all these ads. Just greedy.

### 1/5 — Ads, ads, and more ads!

*2026-06-19, version 1.59.1*

I have played for years but current owners have ruined it with constant ads, and no way to avoid them.

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2026-06-19, version 1.59.1*

Loved this game and played all the time until my iPad crashed from the last update. I've been playing for years so had amassed quite a bit of GBs. Lost it all, they were no help, had to start out from the beginning. But that's not the worse, after the crash EVERTHING is 10x more expensive. Before the crash, 100M GBs $4.99 after only 15M!  Before, 15 Midas Touch clubs $1.99 after only 2. And it's still the old price on my phone! Even after the last update! Bye-Bye Fairway Golf!

### 1/5 — Dissatisfaction

*2026-06-07, version 1.59.1*

I’ve been playing this game for over 12 years, never an issue. Build up my GB’s, build up everything. Golf clubs, shuffles, you name it, I had a stash of everything. Then all of a sudden everything that I had build up over the years was completely gone. I emailed customer support, haven’t heard back from them. Received a email stating that, they had received my complaint, and that they would get back to me as soon as possible. Well, it’s been almost a month. Sorry to say, this was one of my favorite games, but I refuse to start over from the beginning. Uninstalling. This game cheats. It cheats a lot. Goodbye.

### 1/5 — Slow loading and freezes all the time !

*2026-08-29, version 1.60.0*

I used to love playing this game for years  but it’s terrible now ..slow loading , freezes all the time and the amount of ads is ridiculous

### 1/5 — Angry Too Many ads

*2026-08-28, version 1.60.0*

I am angry that BF have decided to pollute my game with ads. I have had the game for years and am considering removing. I am also going to cancel my BFG pc subscription as a protest over this obvious money grab only reason I am playing this version of solitaire was because no ads. Even angrier that there is no option to pad to remove ads Shame on you BFG

### 1/5 — Nope

*2026-08-22*

I loved this game. When I got it you had to buy it. Now you’ve ruined the daily games by putting grass in just about everyone. I would have ny coffee and do the daily. It’s unfortunate because I’ve never found another I like as much. Can we go back to just a relaxing daily without all the grass.

### 1/5 — Political agenda

*2026-08-21, version 1.60.0*

I have enjoyed this game for well over 10 years.  But they just went stupidly political and posted artwork trying to convince me that it is women’s empowerment is to agree that men can be women too.  Nonsense.  That concept removes all barriers of safety for women.  I didn’t used to care about what people wanted to call themselves.  But now women are being victimized and I will NOT participate in this charade.  I will not be playing any Big Fish games moving forward.  I won’t participate in this brainwashing.

### 1/5 — Ad interruption and the amount

*2026-08-09, version 1.60.0*

I know I’ve been playing this game for at least three or four years. I used to really really love playing this game. I’m to the point now where every time you finish a hole before you can go onto the next one you have to sit through and add or try and exit out of it like like 300 times before you get the exit exit exit it’s it’s ridiculous. I mean if they’re gonna do that, they might as well charge us for the ads rather than push them down our throat after every hole! Come on I think you can do better! But an ad after every hole is ridiculous and uncalled for I can see after three or four but not every hole do Better.

### 1/5 — Club points start as negative

*2026-08-08, version 1.60.0*

Used to enjoy this game but now my club points start as a negative, as do others on our team.  Why is there no fix for this issue?

### 1/5 — For the love of god the ads

*2026-08-03, version 1.60.0*

I’m forced to watch an ad after every single game which makes this completely unplayable

### 1/5 — Long Time Player Disappointed

*2026-08-02*

I used to really enjoy playing this game. I understand free games (even tho you can buy stuff) and the ads but there is now waaayyyy to many ads.

### 1/5 — Still ads

*2026-07-29, version 1.59.1*

For years, I played the game without ads-paid for ads free version, very annoying…
I paid for ads free version, why I still have to see this stupid ads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Ads are making this game unplayable

*2026-07-26, version 1.59.1*

If you want to provoke me into closing the app and going away, this current barrage of ads will do it.  You don’t have just one ad; there are at least three.  If I ran a timer, they’d have to take two minutes to run their course.  I am not doing it.  Why do you inflict this on people?

### 5/5 — Fairway solitaire

*2026-08-26*

Je ne peux  pas ouvrir le jeu

### 5/5 — Ads keep popping up

*2026-08-05, version 1.60.0*

After I am done with one game ads keep popping up. Never did this before in the 8 plus years I’ve been playing, only when did it before when I wanted more coins or a mulligan. Why is this happening now?
If you folks are going to have ads every time a person is done with one course, please offer a one time purchase to go ad free!

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2026-07-27, version 1.59.1*

I play the daily game most of the time- I am on a high level, and I have played it since it came out. I love it because it is fun to get the bonuses, surprises, and extra points. There are many bonus games to choose also. It has many choices from which to choose.

### 5/5 — Every day game

*2026-04-29, version 1.58.1*

I’ve played this game nearly every day for years.  It’s a constant favorite, and they aren’t always  changing it—it’s perfectly fun and satisfying as it is.  The golf commentary is funny too.
