### 2/5 — Once great, now will likely delete

*2026-09-01, version 2.1.393.4*

This used to be the best simple solitaire game on the App Store. Now I am likely just deleting it the ads and suggestions are so awful. Games that are expensive to host and maintain have less lengthy complicated to bypass ads than this very simple app

### 3/5 — Ads

*2026-08-05, version 2.1.393.4*

The amount of ads makes me not want to play. Deleted for that reason...

### 2/5 — Paid for No Ads But Still There

*2026-08-04, version 2.1.393.4*

I regularly play this app and enjoy it enough to go ahead and pay the version without ads. Recently I’ve started to get them anyway. I checked my subscription and it’s still active, so what’s going on? If this isn’t fixed, I’m canceling and deleting the app. The ads are way too annoying to continue.

### 3/5 — Ads?

*2026-07-28, version 2.1.393.4*

Can understand having ads, but the way they are ran is unbelievable. Have other game apps with ads and they’re no way as aggravating as ran on your app.

### 3/5 — Spam ads are annoying

*2026-07-16, version 2.1.393.4*

Every 2-3 games, a splash screen for a different card game pops up and there's no way to close it without agreeing to download it. Super annoying.

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2026-07-09, version 2.1.393.4*

I used to love this app and play it daily but recently it crashed and I’ve deleted and re downloaded it bits still frozen so I can no longer play. Very disappointing especially as I pay a subscription on it.

### 1/5 — Stop intrusive ads now!

*2026-07-07, version 2.1.393.4*

I have loved this game for years. But now, suddenly, there are pop up ads in the MIDDLE OF A GAME. Stop these immediately or I’ll delete this game.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2026-07-07, version 2.1.393.4*

Yeah the Ads are getting bad.

### 1/5 — STILL SCREAMING noise from banner adds while in the middle of a game.

*2026-07-06, version 2.1.393.4*

Do you really think that the adds opening the browser and App Store between games is going to get people to install other games? It’s more likely to aggravate people into uninstalling this game.
There’s a banner add that keeps popping up while i’m playing that plays an annoying sound. It’s startling and jarring, i don’t mind the adds but they need to be silent. i don’t mean the adds between games, i mean while i’m actively playing. There’s also a banner add that pops up over the game controls sometimes. No i’m not paying for this app. You can silence the adds or loose the add revenue from me playing. i can find another pastime while listening to my audio files. Still has incredibly noisy adds between games. They are very jarring and even anxiety inducing. That’s bad for veterans with ptsd.
.
Now there’s an add covering the upper portion of the screen blocking the deck and completion stacks.
.
If the adds that keep covering the cards keep up, i’m uninstalling this game permanently.

### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-07-06, version 2.1.393.4*

I know you have to have them but its just to daggone many

### 3/5 — It is what it is.

*2026-06-29, version 2.1.393.4*

I prefer this version of solitaire however, I consistently begin games that seem impossible to figure out; best of luck to all those seeking challenges games😉🤝💯

### 3/5 — Leave things the way they were!

*2026-06-26, version 2.1.393.4*

I love playing this game and your spider! I paid to access your games. I stopped playing solitaire because on my iPad the cards are lower down and the cards flip over like wet noodle. The new cards are child like. I wish gave us a choice! I use to love playing this game! But you had to keep fiddling with it! I hate the new look of the cards! I also hate “Stuck, Try this” if I wanted help, I would tap hint! I take my time making sure I have done every move! I don’t need a popup saying are you stuck! SO DISTRACTING! I should never taking the last two updates, that was my downfall! I have stopped playing. I joined serval years ago and now I wish I never to an update. Please give us a choice of which game we want to play! 

I tried adding free cell but they say I must pay. When I joined I had access to all the games! Very frustrating…Rose

### 1/5 — ANNOYING ADS

*2026-06-24, version 2.1.393.4*

I can’t even use the app anymore!! It’s ad after ad after ad! There’s not even an x button anywhere. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PLAY THE GAME! TERRIBLE!!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-09-04, version 2.1.393.4*

I have been playing this game for several years with annoying ads between games however, now the game is locking my iPad and falsely saying that Apple support is trying to contact me for a $545 charge .  I have tried to close the game down and reopen but it keeps popping back up.  Do NOT call the number they show on the screen.  I’m deleting the game before it puts some malware on my ipad

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-08-30, version 2.1.393.4*

Forcing ads on the app is not acceptable.

### 1/5 — Never Ending Ads!

*2026-08-27, version 2.1.393.4*

Just tried to play a game and it opened an ad that did not expire. It was trying to force me to go to the App Store. No thanks. I just wanted to play a game.

### 1/5 — Unacceptable

*2026-08-25, version 2.1.393.4*

When will you people learn? Having unskippable ADS is completely unacceptable! Do better!

### 1/5 — Terrible user experience

*2026-08-24, version 2.1.393.4*

This is another one that is just more ads than it takes you to play a game and this one also made me download a new version which led to another version which led to another version and so on

### 1/5 — Lame

*2026-08-08, version 2.1.393.4*

The most obnoxious ads

### 1/5 — Grift

*2026-07-30, version 2.1.393.4*

Do not want to buy something before every game.

### 1/5 — Can’t even skip ads

*2026-07-29, version 2.1.393.4*

Open game -> start new game -> mobile game ad comes up -> NO SKIP BUTTON -> wait 10 seconds -> only button is “open in App Store”

### 1/5 — I’m unbeatable!

*2026-07-22, version 2.1.393.4*

I’ve never been better at solitaire. The first time I can play a game and always win. That’s not a good thing. This game is for the sissy generation that needs a participation trophy for everything. I’m deleting it.

### 1/5 — $10 a year to remove the ads.

*2026-07-08, version 2.1.393.4*

Been enjoying the game for a while and finally decided to go ahead and buy the game. I was very disappointed to see they are only selling subscriptions. Will  delete the game and play somewhere else.
