I’ve done the “restore purchases” multiple times, but that’s not fixing the issue. ### 4/5 — Good, straight-forward solitaire app *2026-01-21, version 22.12.8* The daily challenges are fun, but occasionally have glitches. Wish they would stop pushing their other solitaire app in this one. ### 3/5 — Games is working again *2026-01-07, version 22.12.8* All games a gain functioning, thank you ### 2/5 — What happened?! *2026-01-06, version 22.12.8* What has happened? I used to play the winnable games, almost daily for 15 years Klondike pyramid and tri peak. Now it’s only three Klondike’s please let me know if this is something permanent because I will have to delete this app because it’s not worth. it. ### 4/5 — Paid years ago for no ads, now Ads every game - RESOLVED *2025-10-21, version 22.12.8* I specifically paid years ago to have no ads and enjoyed this app, recently opened it again to realize that not only are there ads now EVERY time I start a new game - figured out how to restore my purchase but would NOT recommend if you can’t turn off the constant ads ### 3/5 — Annoying *2025-09-30, version 22.12.8* There are so many ads now that it is no longer enjoyable to play. After every single game, there is an ad, some so time consuming that I just exit out and restart the app. Who wants to do that after every single game??? I will be searching for another version for sure! ### 4/5 — Solitaire deluxe *2025-09-03, version 22.12.8* I’ve had for years and can’t get it recently on my iPad. any suggestions? ### 4/5 — Ads? *2025-08-10, version 22.12.8* I played this game forever and it’s been great. I got a new phone, and now the game has ads. Not happy about that. ### 1/5 — Update wont sync *2025-06-06, version 22.12.8* Played this for years on both iPad and iPhone on both device simultaneously now I’m told A). That won’t work and B) I have to turn off(!!!) one device and weight 5 minutes to restart They have lost me as an I pad player ### 1/5 — Domain name expired *2025-05-29, version 22.12.8* Their domain name is expired and the app does not connect to the server anymore ### 2/5 — Already paid for no ads *2025-04-30, version 22.12.8* I previously paid for no ads. There is no link in app to request that to be active. I can’t play it anymore bec there are sooooooo many ads. Annoying. Too bad. I enjoyed this simple app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worse Over The Years *2026-03-21, version 22.13.1* The amount of ads that pop up after every single play and also out of nowhere while playing is absolutely ridiculous!!! It’s not even worth trying to play anymore and I paid for this game. Pointless…. ### 1/5 — Ads before I even started playing *2026-03-02, version 22.12.8* An ad started before I even played one game!! Preview of how bad it will be. Nope. ### 1/5 — Bra ads *2026-01-10, version 22.12.8* Very inappropriate, almost pornographic! Cannot continue playing this game with these ads so abundant. ### 1/5 — What happened to the games?? *2026-01-05, version 22.12.8* I’ve been playing this game since 2012 now all of a sudden it only has Klondike and the other two games have disappeared. Why?? ### 1/5 — Seems abandoned *2026-01-05, version 22.12.8* Only shows one game ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2026-01-03, version 22.12.8* January 1 2026 they dropped all but one game😥 ### 1/5 — Looks like the developers are abandoning this app *2026-01-03, version 22.12.8* Since January 1, 2026 the daily games are only Klondike games. No Pyramid or TriPeaks. They’ve been pushing their other app forever, but I paid for this one so I don’t want to switch. Seems like they’ve stopped caring. ### 1/5 — Blackouted for hours! *2025-10-17, version 22.12.8* Someone needs to look into the blackouts that last for hours! ### 1/5 — Get another Solitaire Game. Just not this one! *2025-10-14, version 22.12.8* Stop! Do not download! Years ago I PAID for this game to prevent pop up ads. Then they took that away and stole my money. Now you are required to watch ads or reboot after every game. Pop-up Ads won't let you get through a single game without rebooting the game. The ads don't clear off unless you click and watch the ad or reboot the game! Find another card game that's not such a bully. ### 1/5 — Update Nightmare *2025-08-05, version 22.12.8* I purchased this app a while ago so I would have no ads. I never had a problem until the latest update which erased all of my information, including my ad-free purchase of the game. How can I restore my account? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My FAVORITE Solitaire app! *2026-03-08, version 22.13.0* I’ve been using this app since my iPhone 1… around 2006. I love that it is all about the variety of solitaire games, and doesn’t need ‘bells and whistles’ to make the experience excellent. The ONLY ads are occasional (and brief) when playing in the Arcade. I live playing my old favorites, and learning all the different versions of Solitaire. THANKS FOR AN EXCELLENT APP! ### 5/5 — Not working *2026-01-04, version 22.12.8* As of 1/1/2026 this app is not functioning with the three daily games. It comes up with all three games as Klondike! I got my first iPad in 2010 and have loved this app since the beginning. Would love to see it working again. I have reinstalled several times this week. ### 5/5 — Mr. Cavalier *2025-12-25, version 22.12.8* Not a bad game at all. I don't experience the lock ups others have reported. I like the daily spin for more points. Going for a million. Recently switched phones. Customer support was outstanding. ### 5/5 — Update Freeze *2025-11-03, version 22.12.8* The app said it’s time to update it. So I did and now it froze up. Can’t do anything! I had this app for a long time and really enjoyed it , should’ve ignored the update . ### 5/5 — nonnaveve *2025-07-27, version 22.12.8* This is my new favorite. Can't put it down. The game is frozen. Can't get anything except, "connecting to Facebook". Please help! I do have this app installed. I don't know why it won't take my review. ### 5/5 — Best solitaire available *2025-05-16, version 22.12.8* Undoubtedly the best game going! No ads, no constant updates and dead end gimmicks to get you to get more games, etc. AND this apt has variety of solitaire games. ### 5/5 — The only game I really play on my phones since way back! *2025-04-16, version 22.12.8* I don’t play games much but I found this game way back on my Motorola Razr’s store in the early 2000s and was hooked. Part of my phone upgrade planning has been “is there a version of this game on the phone I’m considering?” and so far through several androids and two iPhones and several tablets this game has been there. I like the ad free feature which is the only reason I play classic versus Solitaire Deluxe II: The ads there can be loud and they disrupt gameplay. Okay I also like some of the color choices in the older version too as it has looked like this since the Razr. Love it. ### 5/5 — My first game! *2025-04-05, version 22.12.8* This was the first game I downloaded on my first Apple phone. I’ve been playing it for years and years! Then all of a sudden I was locked out. It would not open! I just tried it after several months and it’s working again! I’m one happy gamer. I downloaded Solitaire Deluxe 2, and I just prefer the appearance of this one more. Same games, for the most part, but this one feels like home to me. Thank you MURKA for the fix! ### 5/5 — Glad to be back *2025-03-27, version 22.12.8* I don’t know what happened but my app was down for over a month and I tried downloading other solitaire games and WAS not satisfied. I’m so glad it’s up and running again!!! Love this one! ### 5/5 — Not working- it is now *2025-03-27, version 22.12.7* Troubleshooting suggestion works! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
