### 3/5 — Update needed

*2023-04-06, version 2.0.2*

When the pyramid cards are gone & I win or the deck is gone & I lose, nothing happens. Nothing!  My boyfriend put it on his phone & got the same results.  It’s not my phone, it’s the game server not updating to the “home” or “again” screen.  Please update the game/server so the game works as it’s supposed to without our prompting it.

### 3/5 — Fun game but...

*2020-12-25, version 2.0*

I like this game but there doesn’t seem to be an incentive to keep playing. No leaderboard, no coins, no stars etc..

### 5/5 — Best version!

*2020-02-28, version 1.5*

I have had this version of Pyramid on my devices for years. Easy to read. Cards can be highlighted if you want. No ads to disrupt!  Dependable quality app. Highly, highly recommend.

The *only* thing I would suggest, and it’s a tiny thing, is that I’d like to be able to upload my own pics for backgrounds or card backs. But overall it is great.

### 5/5 — This is just fun!

*2020-01-11, version 1.5*

I love this type of solitaire but it’s hard to find a version not riddled with bugs, or worse, ads. This has neither! So glad to have found it!

### 4/5 — Nice

*2019-06-23, version 1.5*

This is a nice game to just relax & win !!

### 5/5 — gorgeous! :)

*2019-05-08, version 1.5*

classic tri-peaks / pyramid solitaire + looks really good!

### 2/5 — Basic game

*2018-10-15, version 1.5*

I didn't like the game personally, it's really boring. Just plain basic..

### 4/5 — Three things bad about this app

*2018-09-28, version 1.5*

There’s three things that is annoying and it’s this. If you don’t keep on moving and making matcha then you lose 20 stars. The second thing is that there’s no score I would like to see my score sometimes and if there’s is a scoreboard then keep the score and on different levels keep it the same until they end the game. There’s not a lot of backgrounds choices or card choices, I think there should be more so you can jazz it up a little bit, there are three background and card choices but I want more

### 3/5 — Pyramid App

*2018-06-20, version 1.5*

I don't really care for this Pyramid app, but maybe it will grow on me. I don't like being timed. I'm an old(er) lady by gosh - lol!

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2018-05-29, version 1.5*

Great game and lots of fun! But it can be addicting!!!
