I highly recommend it. Timely support is available for those who need it. My hardware is quickly becoming outdated with the switch to m-series iPads. I’m not happy with my iPad’s performance on iPadOS 26. I should have remained on iPadOS 18. That said, with a refreshed install of iPadOS and with all assets downloaded, this game is now very playable with only a few lags here and there. ### 2/5 — Buggy progress *2026-08-19, version 7.6* Finished an event, earned my first deck and decided to install the macOS version on my Mac to play there as well. When I launched it, it was as if I just started playing for the first time, the event I completed on my phone said “Play” on the Mac instead of “Replay” and when I checked on my phone I’m guessing the Mac save then synced to my phone because I didn’t have the deck I unlocked there either. Considering how long the event took to complete, that left me with a lack of confidence in long term reliability of save progress which for a game about collecting things, that’s a huge red flag ### 2/5 — AI Slop “Art” *2026-08-06, version 7.6* Aside from issues where the game sometimes won’t load beyond a black screen, they use very obviously AI-generated slop instead of art for some of the card backs and stories. ### 4/5 — Is there a bug? *2026-07-18* This is my fav solitaire app. But right now when I open the app it freezes and wont let me select any methods to play. I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. Tried wifi and cellular data. Still nothing is working T^T **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you're encountering some issues with the app! We'd like to take a look at what's going on and get some additional details about this. You can reach our support team at support@solitairestories.zendesk.com ### 2/5 — Shame they don’t appear to care about their players *2026-07-05* I like playing this game, the graphics and the stories are good. However, I haven’t had any new stories in months. After a few updates where new stories are released and I didn’t get them, I contacted the support team. Their response was somewhat nonsensical, essentially saying I should have stories come available as I play. But I don’t, that’s why I contacted them in the first place. When I replied asking a follow up question, clarifying whether I should have stories available to play, they never replied. I can only conclude that they don’t care about their players, as their support team have been totally useless for me. **Developer response:** Our team responds to each inquiry and only closes a ticket when all questions have been answered. We do not have any new stories at the moment but we do have events running each week to play and unlock Deck items! ### 2/5 — Freezes on loading screen *2026-07-05, version 7.5* Used to love this game but it hasn’t gotten past the loading screen in a few weeks. ### 2/5 — Not optimized for Macs or UW monitors *2026-07-04, version 7.5* This is a mobile game, and it is obviously stretched to fit larger screens instead of customized for Macs. It’s definitely not made for ultrawide monitors. The menu is GIGANTIC (I could see it clearly from 5ft away, seriously) and scrolling means clicking and dragging. But the dealbreaker is that the top of the playing area is cut off. I could resolve this if there were display settings that allow me to change the resolution, but there aren’t any. ### 2/5 — What happened? *2026-06-23, version 7.4* I was excited to play this game but it crashed after two rounds and now won’t load. ### 4/5 — Amazing game though a glitch *2026-05-21, version 7.3* Great game, but my spider games can’t actually end. It doesn’t let me deal the last 20 cards ### 5/5 — Best game!!!! *2026-05-02, version 7.2* Awesome!! Finally a game for true solitaire lovers that we can start and progress through a story!👍 ### 3/5 — Love tjis game but... *2026-04-11, version 7.2* After recent update, my card backs are not changing. The only deck playing is my custom deck. ### 5/5 — Amazingly fun and great support *2026-04-09, version 7.2* There are tons of fun stories and even more beautiful deck designs. And the customer support is amazing and kind. ### 3/5 — It passed the time *2026-04-04, version 7.2* But I finished it. I got all the card decks and music so there’s no more “gum balls” to win. I played all the stories. Soooo…I guess that’s it 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 5/5 — 와 너무 재밌어요 *2026-04-04* 그래픽 깔끔하고 각종 이펙트들이 뭔가 게임플레이를 찰지게 만들어주는 것 같아요. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Use of AI *2026-07-25, version 7.5* Use of AI ### 1/5 — Ai *2026-07-22, version 7.5* Don’t know what yalls policy is on Ai generated art, but maybe don’t do that for cards. Like the new intergalactic event. ### 1/5 — Freezes at splash screen *2026-06-25, version 7.4* All of a sudden it freezes at a splash screen. For the last two days it was freezing randomly but now I can’t even get past the splash screen. Deleting the game and reinstalling didn’t help. Restarting phone didn’t either. Sucks as this is the only game I play with archade ### 1/5 — Can’t open with new changes in graphics *2026-06-22, version 7.4* Love this game, sad that I now can’t not play ### 1/5 — Good Game, updated and now crashes *2026-06-20, version 7.4* I love playing this game, and have since i've been using my Apple Arcade subscription, but something with the new update prevents me from being able to launch the game on my Macbook. It's frustrating because i like the game overall. Will be changing to 5 stars if it actually can be launched again. ### 1/5 — Stops Working *2026-05-20, version 7.3* I love playing this game, it’s fun and gives you something to work towards. But about 2 months ago it stopped working. It goes to a black screen when after each game. I thought I’d give it time because these things happen, but here I am 2 months later still wondering if the problem will be fixed. ### 1/5 — Constant crashes *2026-03-18, version 7.1* This used to be a great solitaire app. The stories and progression tracking were the best way to shut my brain down at night. Now it is so buggy it crashes after every game and requires a restart. I’ve waited through 2 updates and no fix. ### 1/5 — Sound effects *2026-03-14, version 7.1* Can’t play silently? Music awful, can’t seem turn sound effects off.. ### 1/5 — Stopped working on MacOS *2026-03-02, version 7.0* Have been playing for a couple weeks and all of a sudden any time it goes to reload a deck it goes to a black screen. Was working fine until now. ### 1/5 — cheap and lazy *2026-02-19, version 7.0* newest update involves blatantly ai generated art. i’m really disappointed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun & relaxing *2026-08-12, version 7.6* This is a fun and relaxing game. ### 5/5 — Just amazing *2026-07-19, version 7.5* This game helps me after a long day just to relax. ### 5/5 — 谁能告诉我如何找回之前的记录😭 *2026-07-10, version 7.5* 找回记录记录回家 ### 5/5 — A beautifully designed game *2026-07-07, version 7.5* I was just playing the regular Solitaire game, but I came across this one and so I tried it out and I ended up liking it much better one because of the design of the game. I think it’s beautifully designed the cards the storytelling the customization it’s all great. ### 5/5 — High quality app *2026-06-21* Best Solitaire game I have ever played. Very relaxing and calming. It screams high quality. ### 5/5 — Clean Graphics *2026-06-12, version 7.4* It’s a nice game with good background relaxing sound and smooth gameplay. ### 5/5 — Fun & relaxing *2026-05-31, version 7.3* This is a fun and relaxing game. ### 5/5 — Amazing game!!! *2026-05-30, version 7.3* I love the card customization and overall it’s just a really good game ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-05-18, version 7.3* I love this game so much when I’m bored and I have nothing else to do I play this game all the time I love the different card faces they have and backgrounds💜💜 ### 5/5 — Nice to play *2026-05-13, version 7.3* I like the music and it works on MacBook. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
