Challenging deals (playing on medium) and some hands seem impossible to solve but eventually it works out. The daily challenges can be killers, too, it took me days to get past one. The graphics and little animals are cute. It’s easy to figure out the game play but tough to develop a strategy. Somehow, I set a world record on one level but either I missed it or the game didn’t tell me — that seems like it should have been a more prominent event. I only noticed it later in my stats. The most prominent thing in the game, unfortunately, are the ads. In addition to the ads in between every level, there are banner ads. Some ads are 30 seconds long. It’s a lot, even for a free game. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review. Glad you’re enjoying the game! It’s definitely best without ads, so I hope you’ll find the 25,000 levels, unique daily challenges, the millions of free play levels, the team challenge, and much more that I’ve created over the years to be worth the small price to remove the ads and upgrade your experience. There’s literally a lifetime of content! And if you’re ever stuck on a daily again, come on over to the Discord chat and someone will give you a hint. Enjoy! -David ### 5/5 — If you have to choose one game today... *2022-07-04, version 1.63* ... choose Match Solitaire. Challenging enough to be fun without being frustrating. Sharp, clean graphics, quirky characters that aren't annoying, and pleasant music. Easily my favorite product in the Hot Chai lineup thus far. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2022-04-15, version 1.63* Solitaire is my favorite game to play. I love Solitaire games that have a unique spin. This one is great and I love the graphics! ### 3/5 — Offensive ads *2021-05-26, version 1.47* Project Makeover ads are offensive. They body shame girls. ### 5/5 — Simply Delightful *2021-03-16, version 1.47* This app is a unique, puzzle-y take on solitaire that I really enjoy. The whole experience is a joy, with none of the usual mobile game crud holding it back. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-11-10* Good card game. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-09-26, version 1.34* Was totally addicted until I saw how many levels 😯 Now it’s my casual play. (To developer: lvl 204 uses the previous character when you win) 😏 ### 5/5 — MindEyez *2020-09-12, version 1.34* Nice game 10 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Usually you feel bored when playing normal Solitaire game, but this one Superb. Recommend to all who love playing Solitaire. ### 5/5 — LOVE this game! *2020-08-22, version 1.33.1* Been playing this game almost non-stop for days. My only issue is you cannot see how many coins you have while playing the rounds so you know how much to spend ### 5/5 — Really well thought out *2020-08-17, version 1.33.1* This is a very clever twist on solitaire. The levels progress in difficulty, but you can always play easier levels just to relax. There are surpassing boosters that keep things interesting, and the graphics are adorable without being twee. ### 5/5 — Best solitaire game by far *2020-08-14, version 1.33.1* I have played so many other solitaire games, and ended up quitting them for one reason or another (too easy, bored, too hard, stuck, etc.). I still have a couple I like and have kept, but this one has already become my favorite, and it is now my go-to game. It’s endlessly replayable. If I had to pick only one game to keep on my phone, it would be this one. That’s how good it is. There are tons of options and skill levels, so there’s something here for everyone. The art design is cool, and the app works smooth as butter, and hardly uses any battery. You can make IAPs, but you don’t have to. But I happily paid to remove ads to support this developer. This is how apps should be made and monetized. Thank you for such an awesome game! I like good match games and solitaire games, and this is by far the best of both. Well done! ### 5/5 — New and interesting! *2020-08-08, version 1.31* I've been playing different kinds of solitaire forever and enjoy the process of putting the cards in order (if I can). Match solitaire is a unique spin on the game with attractive graphics. Well done, David! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 너무 어렵기만 함 *2025-03-26, version 2.6* 50단계 깨는것도 힘든데 1500은 절대 무리 ### 1/5 — Used to love it… *2024-10-24, version 1.81* Until I had to start watching ads for the daily challenge. Deleted after the second ad that lasted forever. They also dramatically changed the cost of aids when your stuck. Done foeprever. ### 1/5 — Updated now it’s not working? *2021-02-05, version 1.47* I like this game but the latest update has made it stop working. It just shuts down when I open it. Any hints? ### 1/5 — Frustrating with ads *2020-06-19, version 1.19* Most games give you ads if they are free, that’s fair. This games ads are more frequent than any other free game I’ve played and the worst part is that the exit buttons on the ads are impossible to click. After attempting to click out of the same ad ten times and failing I decided to delete this game. Greedy devs with shady ad placement on an otherwise decent game. ### 2/5 — Not for disabilities *2024-01-23, version 1.73* Edits☑️23,54/ Sat 13 Jan 23/ Match solitaire review 2 points Not for disabilities Reposting Mon 22 Jan 24/ as not appeared. 🌷 ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ Update; Mon 22 Jan 24] 00,04; I’ve now reached level 50 but you’ve got stark colours background and spinning icon on the cards. I suffer from Epilepsy, so I’m permanently out. You say “I want my games to be accessible for all” but it’s not true because you have ignored the needs of those with disabilities. 00,06; Regards. —] 🌷 🌷 🌷 🌷 🌷 🌷 🌷 🌷 Hello I’ve been playing this for a while but I’ve realised that it’s not for anyone with physical disabilities in their hands like I have. 🌷 ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ 🌷 Three levels of daily challenge? I’ve tried to get through the third level but it’s too much for my hands. Complex regional pain disorder means after considerable repetition the skin at base of fingers hurts with a burning & needle pain. 🌷 Unless you; switch to a daily challenge with one task to make it accessible for disabilities this isn’t for me. 🌷 ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ 🌷 It sits in a folder marked “unplayable” until you make it accessible for all. If this doesn’t happen It will end up deleted. 🛋 This request for disability accessibility to be considered shouldn’t be needed. 00,04; —-) ### 2/5 — Seizure Warning *2020-07-21, version 1.26* Fun game, different from regular solitaire and a bit of a challenge. However, I wish there were a way to turn off the vibrating card animation as you’re tapping pairs, it could cause a seizure. I want to play but can’t risk it. ### 3/5 — March solitaire let’s see if it cashes out !!! *2025-04-10, version 2.6* Let’s see if it cashes out ### 3/5 — Not very challenging, but okay to zone out *2021-10-08, version 1.54* At level 10 and not challenging yet. I think Wordjamacallit is a much better game. ### 3/5 — Good game *2021-09-01, version 1.53* But I just experienced game lagging. I’m guessing ad on top might be contributing to hurting performance. I get that dev needs to be supported but ads are stacking up quite quickly. ### 3/5 — Adds banner to large *2021-08-22, version 1.52* The adds banners are way to large. Every time I hit the back option I hit the banner. This started with the last update. Very frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Highly addictive but dizzying number of ads *2026-03-16, version 2.7* Very fun game, I was immediately an addict. Challenging deals (playing on medium) and some hands seem impossible to solve but eventually it works out. The daily challenges can be killers, too, it took me days to get past one. The graphics and little animals are cute. It’s easy to figure out the game play but tough to develop a strategy. Somehow, I set a world record on one level but either I missed it or the game didn’t tell me — that seems like it should have been a more prominent event. I only noticed it later in my stats. The most prominent thing in the game, unfortunately, are the ads. In addition to the ads in between every level, there are banner ads. Some ads are 30 seconds long. It’s a lot, even for a free game. ### 5/5 — This is your match (Match Solitaire) *2025-08-21, version 2.7* This is amazing you should check it out no ads only when your getting coins enjoy ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-04-27, version 2.7* Nice ### 5/5 — So fun! *2025-04-17, version 2.6* I like that it’s two games in one :) ### 5/5 — Love this game *2025-02-24, version 2.5* It is super cute and I look forward to seeing where the maker goes from here. he has set the bar high with this! ### 5/5 — sorry，I'm wrong! *2025-01-03, version 2.0* I'm wrong.it's my problem. ### 5/5 — Not enough words for how good this app is! *2024-12-14, version 1.91* I usually don’t write game reviews unless I’m trying to point out a UX improvement to developers, so it’s no surprise that it took me YEARS to get around to posting a review of this game. However the fact that I’m still actively playing a card solitaire game many years after download should clue you in that this is no ordinary game. The short review: This game is great for whenever you have 5-10 minutes and when you want to destress with something fun, cute and just challenging enough. The longer info: The play itself is super easy to learn and the gameplay has enough variety to make it entertaining. Some levels almost solve themselves, others seem impossible at first but are all the more satisfying when you realize you’ve cracked it. If a level seems impossible, you can use coins to purchase boosters, and while I’m not above buying coins to support the dev, it’s also not hard to earn coins in many ways if you don’t want to spend $$. I’ve gone through phases where I’ve played steadily and phases where I just knocked out the daily challenges. What really got me energized was finding the community on Discord that helps each other with the daily puzzles. Because of that community, I’ve gotten reenergized and I’m working towards finishing all 25K levels of the main game. I cant tell you enough how great this game is, but try it for yourself and you’ll see! BTW, purchasing the inexpensive upgrade to avoid ads is very handy. ### 5/5 — best solitaire game on the app store!! *2023-07-06, version 1.71* this developer is criminally underrated. these games are not only fun to play, snappy, and satisfying, but also absolutely beautiful to look at. the art style is cohesive and simple which compliments the gameplay really well. the difficulty settings allow a lot of replay-ability and I really appreciate the legibility of the cards. their other game, drop solitaire I think, is also incredible! seriously cannot wait for this dev to release more works like this, truly unique. my one and only note is pleaseee make more!! ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-01-14, version 1.67* Love to relax in the evening and play a few games. A favorite go to!! I like it where at times it’s challenging,then easy . Thank you for a great game. ### 5/5 — Elegant and fun *2022-09-12, version 1.64* A very thoughtful rendition of solitaire. I paid to have the ads removed. Happy to help the developer. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
