### 3/5 — Too many disreputable ads

*2026-08-27, version 3.5.52*

The games are great but the ads (from China especially) lock the screen for a long time.

### 2/5 — Rigged to win?

*2025-12-24, version 3.5.34*

I just won three consecutive games. That should not happen to a Joe Average player like me. The obvious conclusion is that the game is rigged to win to keep users playing (to watch the ads).  I sure hope I’m wrong.

### 4/5 — Needs one change

*2025-01-01, version 3.5.13*

Would make more sense when I complete November challenge to get a Christmas themed background for December. It’s always one month behind. Like now in January I’m playing with a Christmas tree background. Please fix that.

### 3/5 — Great Version, wish they would update

*2024-11-01, version 3.5.10*

When I’m listening to a streaming station, I hear constant Beeps !!!

### 3/5 — Ads

*2024-09-04, version 3.5.7*

I’ve been playing this for years and then you started putting on too many ads and then recently the ads have become longer!!! And today there is an ad on the bottom that won’t shut off !!! Very annoying!

### 4/5 — Solitaire

*2024-01-05, version 3.4.14*

It is so fun! I love to play solitaire!

### 2/5 — When you finish, you finish

*2024-01-02, version 3.4.14*

When there were no more cards left in the draw pile, you are finished playing. You can not go through the pile again.

### 2/5 — Solitaire

*2023-10-25, version 3.4.12*

I play this game for relaxation. I do try to main a decent score. This should be my game to win or botch up. I resent the cards being moved up for me. If choose to keep them on the table I HAVE a reason for doing so. If it is an oversight than that is my problem. I do not feel challenged when the computer tries to control my play.qq

### 5/5 — Way to pass the time

*2023-06-15, version 3.4.8*

I have always enjoyed playing solitaire and this app seems to be as close to classic solitaire as any I've found. Good app!

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2023-06-12, version 3.4.8*

The daily rankings make it a lot of fun

### 5/5 — Simple kids game but addicting

*2022-11-27, version 3.4.4*

Simple kids card game but addicting. A good way to look busy at work but actually do nothing. This is the standard Solitaire that your mom played with you when you're home sick and out of school. I play regularly to kill time or when I'm bored. It's perfect in it's simplicity. Can be addicting when you figure out the strategy.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2022-11-24, version 3.4.4*

Only solitaire game you can set to all winnable games…so you can replay the game until you win. Have been playing it for years and recently it kept crashing. Tried to find another solitaire game and couldn’t even come close. The ads are a pain to deal with but I just swipe up to reset the app and start again. It beats watching all the STUPID ads!!

### 2/5 — Increasingly upset with “adult” ads and more

*2022-10-24, version 3.4.3*

I have enjoyed the play in this game, but the ads have become increasingly objectionable with some excessively suggestive and the ad pages where the dismiss ‘X’ is hidden behind links to pages that are now being reported by my Linksys router as containing links to potential malware sites making it virtually impossible to play the game without repeated jumps to unwanted sites.
Find another game to play……

### 1/5 — What did they do?

*2025-09-07, version 3.5.29*

What did they do to this game? My score has been wiped out and the cute holiday cards are gone. I looked forward to them every year. Also the card face and backgrounds are mostly gone. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Publicidad en serio?

*2025-01-21, version 3.5.15*

Es muy molesto que inserten publicidad , es un juego y lo ultimo que se quiere es ver anuncios, muy mal por eso es de muy mal gusto

### 1/5 — Don't Trust The Developers Of This Game

*2024-12-26, version 3.5.13*

I have played this game for years but I have had to delete it because it now opens up Safari on my iPad, without my permission, and lodges its ads in there. I wrote to the company asking who gave them the right to open up MY apps but they didn't respond.

### 1/5 — Lousy

*2023-12-08, version 3.4.13*

Lousy

### 1/5 — Comment

*2023-09-06, version 3.4.10*

Absolutely annoying repetitive, frequent game commercials make this solitaire an app to avoid.

### 1/5 — Solitaire

*2023-05-20, version 3.4.7*

This use to be fun but now it is so laden down with adds that it is very much NOT fun!

### 1/5 — All Chinese ads now!?!?

*2023-02-08, version 3.4.5*

Have had this app for years but suddenly all the ads are Chinese. In Canada?!

### 1/5 — Dumping this app

*2021-08-07, version 3.3.2*

Banner adds were tolerable,  but the video adds and numerous pop-ups are extremely annoying. I am dumping this app. And will look for one that is less onerous.......

### 1/5 — Prior Version Was Better

*2021-07-06, version 3.3.2*

I played an older version for years, accidentally deleted it.  Downloaded this version, and it is like using a version for 20 years ago.   Functionality took 10 steps backwards, and speed is nonexistent.

### 1/5 — Once great now simply annoying!

*2021-06-19, version 3.3.2*

For years this used to be my go to app to fill-in 10 minutes of spare time. It was simple and had enough game diversity to keep you trying to get all of your cards out. The ad is used to be small items at the bottom of the screen and didn’t interrupt gameplay. This latest version unfortunately is miles from it’s predecessors. The ads are now video ads that appear after every 3rd or 4th game. They take over the whole screen with music and sound that you can’t mute until the ad starts but there is a far worse problem with the mechanics of how the cards are dealt. I continually get either the same card number, a run of the same suit or every turn over is the opposite numerical range to the playing deck. I.e. I need 8’s or higher and the deal is all 5’s and lower. The end result of this is my win rate has reduced drastically and I can only assume that these changes are designed in order to force me to play more games and hence expose me to more adverts if this is the case then this is a cynical move by the developers and they have effectively ruined what was a simple and fun game to play. One star is all I can give them for what used to be a five star game.

### 5/5 — No longer Frustrating

*2025-06-07, version 3.5.22*

They fixed it.  My former comments below are no longer valid.  This is a very good game. 

downloaded this game about 2 years ago and after playing it for a few months, decided to buy it because I really liked it. However, over the past few months something has changed.  In 3 card draw option it is nearly impossible to get a win even after selecting “all winnable” in the settings.   The other 3 card draw options aren’t much better.  The 1 card draw isn’t much better.  My description of this game is “frustrating. “. I have contacted the developer and they always respond quickly, but so far they have not been able to fix the problems.  I used to rate this game with 5 stars, now I give it 1 star.  I will not recommend this game until it is fixed.

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2024-12-27, version 3.5.13*

Been playing this game for years. Thanks

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-12-27, version 3.5.13*

Simple solitaire at its best. I'm a person who relishes those things in live that serve one purpose and do it extremely well. This is one of those things.

### 5/5 — Great version of solitaire

*2024-05-20, version 3.5.0*

Excellent app, easy to use

### 5/5 — Slow

*2024-04-20, version 3.4.19*

Poor app

### 5/5 — Ecxellente version du solitaire classique

*2024-04-13, version 3.4.19*

Agreable et tres addictif!

### 5/5 — Solitaire

*2024-01-23, version 3.4.16*

Great game!!

### 5/5 — IOS 14 no longer shows date/time of wins

*2023-12-16, version 3.4.13*

I have played Solitaire Classic for many years-both 1 card and 3 card versions. It is a great game for maintaining mental acuity and even small flaws that come with “improvements” stand out because the game is so polished. The new IOS 14 interface with Solitaire Classic introduced one of these burrs under a saddle blanket. The leaderboard no longer lists the date/time of the winning score. No big thing, but now when I look at the lifetime leader board, history has been replaced by rank order. Is the substitution a nefarious educational plot to degrade the lessons of history? Or is it simply a programming oversight that is easily corrected? In either case please restore the date/time a win was achieved to the leader board.

### 5/5 — Solitaire

*2023-10-20, version 3.4.12*

Good play. Not a million interruptions.

### 5/5 — Great Solitaire game

*2023-06-15, version 3.4.8*

This one is a bit different from the others, which makes it more fun.
