### 3/5 — Paid for unlimited, but get same deal

*2024-05-22*

I love the game. That’s why I chose to pay for unlimited games. However it is not working right. After I solve the Daily puzzle, I tap to get another puzzle and the same one comes up. I thought at first that it was only similar, but today I took a screenshot of the daily and the “new “ one and they are identical. I have emailed, but have not yet received an answer. is this just a glitch on my iPad? Or are other people having the same experience?

### 3/5 — I want more

*2023-12-27*

I like how 5 Crowns has been adapted from a multi player game into solitaire but I’d like the option to play a multi version through the app as well. Also, I’ve tried to purchase the extra games many times and the app will not allow me to select the button. Very sad about that.

### 3/5 — What’s wrong?

*2023-07-11, version 1.3*

Suddenly (today) the app is randomly assigning the drawn card to wherever it chooses! Which is never where I want it to go.  There’s no UNDO option so all I can do is cancel the game and start all over again.

### 1/5 — Not like the card game

*2022-05-08, version 1.3*

I was excited to play this game, until I played it. It’s not like the card game and it’s confusing.

### 2/5 — What daily challenge?

*2022-02-14*

I never get a new challenge.  Same card layout each day. It says daily challenge but does not happen.

### 2/5 — 6 pile is turned over from beginning

*2022-01-07, version 1.3*

I love the game, but there is a glitch.

### 2/5 — Flawed logic

*2021-12-27, version 1.3*

The logic in the game is flawed and doesn’t recognize runs and books properly. Example - in the ‘4’ column, where 4s and jokers are wild, I had 3, 4, 5, joker and the game didn’t consider that row completed.

### 1/5 — Horrible instructions and the game doesn’t always detect when a row is completed

*2021-12-12*

This game doesnt always register when a row is completed. And the tutorial video goes so fast after watching it several times I still don’t know how to play.

### 1/5 — Wish I had read the reviews before downloading

*2021-09-08*

That is a total waste of time. The rules don’t make sense and the company never answers you back. Time after time I make a pile that should disappear but never does. Disgusting and I have now deleted the app.

### 4/5 — Enjoy

*2021-09-02*

I enjoy playing this but there is a flaw in the 3’s column.  If you get 3 3’s the game doesn’t recognize that it’s complete and turns it over, it stays as a lost column.  The same thing applies if you get 2 3’s and a wild card.  Please fix it, it ruins our stats 🤪

### 1/5 — Boring and can’t play with others

*2021-07-07, version 1.3*

Five Crowns is a great card game to play with friends and family, not solitaire. There are better apps out there that do this much better and allow you to play against others online.

### 1/5 — Why💀💀💀

*2025-12-02*

I was really excited to try 5 Crown Solitaire, but the game was seriously glitchy from the start. The 7 rows were already completed before I even played, which completely ruined the challenge. On top of that, it didn’t always detect when rows were finished, making the gameplay frustrating and confusing. There were a couple more bugs too that made it even worse. Honestly, the real game is way better—this one feels broken and unfinished. Definitely not worth your time.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2025-05-26*

Waste of time. If I want to play a game, I want to play it for awhile, not once a day. Solved it on the first try and deleted it. Set it up like the real game with multiple players and let each one play in turn like the real game and it would be awesome.

### 1/5 — Cannot purchase unlimited puzzles…

*2025-03-23, version 1.3*

Would love to play, but unlimited puzzles is not working

### 1/5 — Same game every day for free version

*2025-02-18*

They could do so much with this game. Change it up each time/ day so I At least become addicted and beg you to take my money. Roomies.

### 1/5 — Nanna

*2024-11-08, version 1.3*

They give any good instructions on how to play.

### 1/5 — Wrong game?

*2024-10-26, version 1.3*

The only game you can play for free in this app is like solitaire and not actually five crowns. Useless.

### 1/5 — How do you play?????

*2024-05-16, version 1.3*

There are no instructions. How do you play?

### 1/5 — I want to purchase the full game

*2023-12-31, version 1.3*

No customer support…can’t click to buy game…wth

### 1/5 — No ‘Help’ on this game

*2023-11-10, version 1.3*

One word:  huh??

### 1/5 — Nothing Like the Real Game

*2023-08-23, version 1.3*

Why would they make a game that is nothing like Five Crowns and call it Five Crowns?

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-12-22*

Unlimited play only 99¢, great value. I have the real life card game and love it, also really like the solitaire version on the app. Instructions are there and pretty clear IMO. I don’t get all the negative reviews, maybe they’ve updated it since those were written. If you like canasta style games, this is a good one.

### 5/5 — fun solitaire, just 99c for unlimited, minor scoring glitch

*2022-05-09*

A challenging and fun solitaire game that provides good practice for arranging your hands in the multiplayer card game. I noticed that the stats seemed to over-count books (3 or more cards of same number) vs runs (3 or more cards of same suit in numerical order) so I played a game in which every hand was runs, un-rearrangeable as books. The stats still upped my books total by 5. This does not affect game play at all but I found it curious.

### 5/5 — Friends

*2022-04-14*

Need to make it so you can play with friends, one of the best games ever made, just need to be able to play with my friends!

### 5/5 — Multiplayer

*2021-07-22*

I would love to have this multiplayer to play with my grandma.

### 5/5 — Giving a Bad Review to the Reviewers

*2020-04-28*

While I myself wouldn’t rate this game 5 stars, I’m going to in order to balance out the unfair and poor reviews this game has been given.
Apparently a lot of the reviewers can’t read as the app clearly states you get one new challenge per day.
No duh it’s the same deck. 
You want a different deck then come back tomorrow to play.
Works for me so I don’t get addicted.

Now as for some fresh critique, I do wish this app would be like the real game and make it an online, multiplayer game. It’s such a good rummy game so I hope they’ll release one like that in the future (while also keeping the solitaire option).

### 4/5 — Changes to app

*2025-05-24, version 1.3*

What a shame the app has been updated and now you don't show the dealer and the names go in order of rankings instead of order of players

### 4/5 — Enjoy the game

*2024-08-04*

I get the same problem Iceland, with finishing the daily and then clicking unlimited and getting the daily puzzle again.
I love playing the game and find that if I close the app and re open it then clock unlimited it gives me a new puzzle.
We also play the real card game and love that also.
I hope they update the issue at hand.

### 4/5 — Frustrating fun

*2024-04-10*

Good for sharpening your skills ready for the physical card game. App could be improved by marking the daily game as completed when solved. I sometimes forget if I’ve already completed it earlier in the day. The stats could show daily games completed vs attempted. That would be more useful than just totalling all books and runs. Sometimes I accidentally discard the current card while trying to play it, should be a different procedure, maybe drag to a discard pile.
Also there’s no difference between the displays if you win the daily puzzle or if it’s one of the unlimited puzzles.

### 4/5 — It’s fun but…

*2024-04-06*

I love five crowns and love that this can be played as a single player game. I wish there was an option to play multiplayer. Maybe some sort of online play and have rankings in the game.  Also I would like to see an undo button. Many times I have hit the wrong card I want to remove and there is no way to fix it.

### 4/5 — Great game…just needs multiplayer options available

*2023-01-09*

I recently played this game with friends in person and was excited to download the app for practice. I just found it more difficult to finish the 11 rounds and would really appreciate some help. The most number of piles that I had completed is 8 and I’ve tried some strategies like creating more runs in each column but found out that if I just play the cards as wild cards to their respective columns, I will close more.

I would give this 5 stars if we can have multiplayer options. I’d rather play with a random human being than with a bot. Humans can easily make mistakes (such as disregarding wild cards accidentally).😊

This is my first ‘solitaire’ game and now I know why I didn’t like these games. So I’m hoping that multiplayer options of playing online with other 5 crowns fanatics would be made available.

For those who complained that we only get dealt with one deck of cards each day, just get the unlimited plays for only $.99. I did and it’s great!😊

Please make multiplayer options availble asap!😊
