That’s ridiculous and typical of MS trying to monetize everything they can get their greedy paws on. I make it a point to never support a company or product that advertises in this app. ### 3/5 — Problems with the Service *2026-08-27, version 4.26* I pay for the premium service, yet I keep getting advertisements When I start up. It is annoying and I would appreciate it if you could correct the situation ### 3/5 — New Update *2026-08-27, version 4.26* Please put it back the way it was. Even classic has the cards way too close together and hard to see. Nothing needed to change. ### 3/5 — Ruining the platform with ads *2026-08-26, version 4.26* Having ads on the platform when you have a premium account is diabolically greedy and makes the experience feel worse. ### 3/5 — Games good, Ads awful *2026-08-25, version 4.25.3* I play the challenge games everyday, but I’m getting really uncomfortable and irritated with having to sit through 90-120 second AI ads about bogus miracle weight loss concoctions. Seriously, get rid of those ads! ### 3/5 — Adds even when subscribe to premium *2026-08-24, version 4.25.3* I play this game every day and years ago subscribed to premium to avoid the adds, but now i am getting adds even when my premium subscription is current. This is very frustrating ### 1/5 — Time to go *2026-08-24, version 4.25.3* After a life time of playing Microsoft’s solitaire collect it’s time to say good bye reason the ads are worse then on tv now it’s not worth the effort ### 1/5 — Stop The Fake, Dangerous Ads! *2026-08-24, version 4.25.3* I really enjoy the games and I don’t mind there being ads but the constant bombardment of fake, AI-generated lying ads is disgusting and incredibly irresponsible (even if you’re no longer required to police the speech). If it doesn’t change I will reluctantly delete the app! ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-08-24, version 4.25.3* To many ads, some are very long, like tv commercial length. It’s getting worse. ### 2/5 — The super-long spam advertisements are getting worse! *2026-08-24, version 4.25.3* I love this game. I’ve been playing it since it was first released on computers. But… the very long advertisements for using baking soda to loose weight, and the miracle cures: if these ads continue I will be deleting the game and never playing again. I don’t mind ads and understand it’s how you pay the bills. These ads that go on forever and are complete junk, how baking soda cures brain disease have got to stop. There is no was to fast forward or anything. Hold yourselves to some level of conduct. At least advertise real products. ### 3/5 — Annoyed *2026-08-24, version 4.25.3* Advertisements have totally ruined it ### 2/5 — New version 4.3 *2026-08-23, version 4.25.3* Too many ads, and hitting buttons sometimes 3 or more times to clear. What a pain. I’ve deleted apps because of it. ### 2/5 — Paid but still get ads *2026-08-23, version 4.25.3* With an annual rate aid subscription I am still slowed by 35 seconds of ads. Still bugs! ### 1/5 — Seriously 3 min commercials *2026-08-22, version 4.25.3* The App doesn’t offer a commercial free option…30 second commercials are only mildly annoying…but 120 to 180 second commercials are ridiculous I like the game…I do not like the excruciating long commercials. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A new low *2026-08-29, version 4.26* Played this game for years. Hate the ads, but kept putting up with them. This week, Microsoft has now gone to 60 second unskippable ads for ‘snake oil’ weight loss gimmicks. Pathetic. 8/29/26 update: Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse… a full three minute unskippable ad with Dr. Oz and Reba hawking baking soda and lemon weight-loss scam. Seriously? ### 1/5 — Stupid designers get greedy *2026-08-28, version 4.26* For some reason the designers have DOUBLED all the commercials in this game. Wasn’t bad enough that they interrupted the game play so they decided DOUBLE the commercials is better. ### 1/5 — Horrible Ads *2026-08-27, version 4.26* These 60 seconds to 3 minutes long commercials are ruining this game. I’m about ready to stop playing. ### 1/5 — This game has changed *2026-08-27, version 4.26* I have not played this game in a while but since I have started playing it again, literally none of the Klondike games are solvable. Not even the easy level. I have never lost twelve games in a row playing the hard level. Literally every game I have to start playing the unused cards and normally the game is over before it starts. When I played the game before, I never lost a single game. This game has been updated with AI or something. The different levels are not solvable anymore. This game is rigged so that hardly any games are solvable. Well the Klondike game. I tried the Spider game and couldn’t even win level one. ### 1/5 — Bug fix needed *2026-08-26, version 4.26* Loved it until this bug popped up. It requires me to download a “new card back” before moving on to the next game. ### 1/5 — To Many Commercials *2026-08-26, version 4.26* To Many Commercials ### 1/5 — No ADS *2026-08-25, version 4.26* I have been a subscriber for years and now I’m seeing ads and being asked if I want to subscribe. I typically have to close out and restart the app, multiple times and lately it’ll take 5 or 6 times of doing this before the ads stop. Very annoying and frustrating!!! ### 1/5 — Too many ads that last too long *2026-08-25, version 4.25.3* There are too many ads interrupting play and some of them last well over a minute. ### 1/5 — Need to fix so Ads to play prior to my premium account being recognized *2026-08-25, version 4.25.3* Microsoft needs to fix the app so that those who have premium membership like I do, which is supposedly Ad free, don’t keep seeing ads when you initially load the app. This is super frustrating and needs to be elevated to app engineer to fix it. Otherwise, a refund may be in order. ### 1/5 — Sfb *2026-08-25, version 4.25.3* 8/24/26 AGAIN WITH THESE STUPID ADS - you can have your damn games - these ads show 176 seconds - you are out of your mind at Microsoft! Thank God for Boy Howdy games!! YOU ARE SO AWFUL 8/24/26 PLEASE STOP THE FAKE DR OZ AND OPRAH VERY LONG LYING ADS!!!! I REFUSE TO EVEN LET THEM PLAY!! SO DECEITFUL & YOU DON’T EVEN CARE! No SCRUPLES OR VALUES IN THIS BUSINESS OF YOURS!!!!! STUPID ADS!!!! STOP 🛑 🛑 🛑 YOU MAKE THE ADS EVEN MORE OBNOXIOUS & DISGUSTING!!!! ———————————————— 7/21 SO TODAY YOU DECIDE TO INCREASE THE FREQUENCY OF THE FARCE AD ABOUT THE COMBO MIX TO LOSE WEIGHT - A BIG LIE - AND TOO LONG AN AD! IWILL NOT WATCH THOSE!! OBNOXIOUS LIES!!! But MICROSOFT DOESN’t do quality with ADS!!! 7/20/26 the arrows are getting as bad as the king - must be 75-80% of the ads & usually 35 seconds- ugh!!! —-9AND the ads that suddenly come up from the BOTTOM of the screen -double ugh!!! Then those damn 60 second lying ads still lurking around - ugh!!! 1000 times! Less long ads - go back to the skip ones once in awhile! I never buy anything from any of these ads & I don’t trust temu _______________________ You just take all the fun out of playing games with your long ads! And now there are hardly any short ads which made it more tolerable. And often it between every other game you stick these stupid ads!!! You so OVERDO it! I AM SICK OF IT! In the survey i said no I did not want the cost of anything being yet another ad. You don’t care!! You put an ad as cost to get something & then you double the whammy by placing another ad after the hand or turn or round. PLEASE CUT BACK! At least take that extra 5 seconds off almost ALL of the 30 second ads!!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Daily *2026-08-30, version 4.26* I pay for this app now for 14 years. I go to this app daily for when things at work get stressful. It calms my mind and soul ### 5/5 — Fun games *2026-08-30, version 4.26* I love that you can adjust difficulty. ### 5/5 — Amazing Solitaire *2026-08-25, version 4.25.3* I have been playing this game for years! I can never get enough! My favorite go to game. ### 5/5 — Ads too Long *2026-08-22, version 4.25.3* Having 167 seconds on an ad is ridiculous! Stop it! ### 5/5 — MS Solitaire *2026-08-20, version 4.25.3* I just love that laying this game. I play every morning and it always makes me feel better ### 5/5 — This *2026-08-19, version 4.25.3* Is just so great I got this on my computer too ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-08-18, version 4.25.3* 08-18-2026 I absolutely just love the different challenges exceeding various levels, I can change the colors and styles of my cards overall it’s just a lot of fun even if I get frustrated on a level I just mostly move on. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-16, version 4.25.3* I love this game. Been playing for years. Worthwhile to me to pay yearly for no ads. However, the very next day and for the rest of the year, as soon as I open the game it tells me my subscription has expired and asks me to renew???Frustrating!!!!!. FIX THIS!!!! I play first thing every morning while having coffee. I try to make sure I complete the daily ones and achieve a perfect month. For me, the Expert ones are extremely challenging and I will work on them for hours when necessary. Keeps my septuagenarian brain stimulated. ### 5/5 — Mero passa tempo? *2026-08-15* Um pouco mais, pode estimular reflexos e treinar foco. Pena que tem muitos anúncios longos… ### 5/5 — Why doesn't my subscription work. *2026-08-12, version 4.25.3* Played this game for years and love it. I renewed my subscription. Every time I start the game I have to opt to buy it (I don't actually purchase again) or have to reinstall the purchase. Sometimes I can't do either before the stupid adds start. Please fix. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
