### 4/5 — Great game but now needs work

*2021-03-20, version 2.6*

I have been playing for years. I love this game. It needs now an update cuz taking forever to load. I close it and reopen the app and either takes time again but not as long to open or just closes again. When you have it open works pretty good.

### 4/5 — Favourite solitaire app

*2018-12-30, version 2.6*

I’ve been using this app for at least a year now and I love it. The designs are aesthetically pleasing and I always play at night when I’m having trouble falling asleep. I like the feature of daily challenges. It would be cool to see some sort of reward for winning a certain amount of challenges or completing achievements such as unlocking new game board designs. I only wish the ads weren’t on the screen as you play, it would be better to just have a video ad to watch in between games because they can become annoying & distracting. Otherwise, great app!

### 4/5 — It’s crashing!

*2018-11-24, version 2.6*

I love this game but it keeps crashing when i try to open it :(

### 2/5 — Crashing, ads, what next?

*2018-11-09, version 2.6*

This is the third time I’ve had to delete and reinstall the app because of the crashes, which occur without warning and with a complete wipeout of any gold crowns I got for the daily challenges. The ads were tolerable (going on airplane mode works well usually) but this is too much. The quality and the graphics are good but the cons outweigh the pros here.

### 3/5 — Cs54 solitaire game keeps throwing me out.  It will not open.

*2018-10-24, version 2.6*

Love the game but I keep getting thrown out.  Help. LG

### 4/5 — App Crashing

*2018-10-14, version 2.6*

I really enjoyed this app and did the daily challenges daily but recently as soon as the app opens it crashes. It’s been about two weeks that this has happened and there hasn’t been any fix made by the developers so it looks like I’ll have to find another solitaire app

### 4/5 — Love this version

*2018-10-05, version 2.6*

Love this game. Graphics are great and it’s quick. The daily challenge is something I look forward to everyday. Locked up on me recently is the only reason I didn’t give a 5 star

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2018-09-19, version 2.6*

Love this app but it’s been crashing since the last update and won’t open any more.

### 2/5 — I love solitaire, and I used to love this app

*2018-09-01, version 2.6*

1) There is now a giant Ad on the settings screen that cannot be removed (even if you have paid to remove ads) 

2) Also, with the most recent updates, all of the animations lag and some of the graphics are now noticeably fuzzy. 

What happened? The app was CRISP before!! Now I am constantly wondering if it’s going to crash. :(

WTH. 

There is more nitpicking I could do about the layout choices for the X but ultimately I would rather have the above two points addressed.

### 3/5 — Too many ads...

*2018-07-22, version 2.5.1*

Love this game and the aesthetics (the reason I choose this app over others), but there’s just way too many ads. I usually finish a game in a minute and a half and after EVERY game there’s an ad. It drives me insane.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2018-06-29, version 2.5.1*

This is the only solitaire game I use. It’s pretty, isn’t all white background, and has daily challenges. Buying the ad free version was cheap and easy.

### 2/5 — Love this game but...

*2018-03-12, version 2.5.1*

I love this game and ads are just a common evil for any app but whatever. except recently every five seconds it’s been popping up safari with “congrats you’re the 1000 person winner!” Kind of stuff. It basically makes the app unusable because of how often it pops up. Wish there was a report a problem in the app but...

### 2/5 — App Crashes Upon Opening

*2018-03-12, version 2.5.1*

I haven’t had this problem until today. I’ll be in the middle of a game and I won’t be touching the screen at all, but Safari will suddenly open and direct me to an ad. I then close the safari tab, reopen the Solitaire app, and it will continue to attempt to open Safari a few more times before crashing altogether and I am then unable to reopen the app at all without an immediate crash. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice with the same results. I really hope the developer makes an effort to resolve this bug. It’s an otherwise good app, excessive ad complaints aside.

### 3/5 — I don’t mind ads, but...

*2018-03-11, version 2.5.1*

Lately the ads have been launching safari, which isn’t cool already, but then if you try to just double click the home button and close safari and go back to app, it’ll launch it again. I don’t mind in-game video ads, but pop ups on my phone are ridiculous.

### 2/5 — SO MANY ADS

*2017-12-08, version 2.5.1*

I’ve had this game for a while, it has great graphics, awesome gameplay, nice aesthetic. I don’t know when it changed, but this game is no longer enjoyable. Every time I restart a game, a full thirty second ad pops up. I would hate to delete this app, but it is really too much.

### 4/5 — Annoying bug

*2017-10-20, version 2.5.1*

[Came back to add a star for developer’s responsiveness to bugs. Yay!]

The button to play the daily challenge doesn’t work. So you have to click on ‘No’ and then go back to the calendar and choose the date to play the game. I thought this wouldn’t annoy me as much as it does. Otherwise, I like the non-flashyness of the game but I’m not sure it’s worth $5, especially since you can only play in portrait mode.

### 2/5 — Free = ad’s

*2017-10-20, version 2.5.1*

Pay for what you get. Still not going to pay for no ads. The game is solitaire. Just find another one out there that doesn’t have ads. There are hundreds of them already out there.

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2017-10-07, version 2.5*

...except for all the ads

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I paid for this but still ads!!

*2019-12-21, version 2.6*

I paid for this app to avoide the annoying ads but after I had to do a reinstall of the app cause it was frozen it won’t recognize my purchase. And nope trying to hit restore purchase also doesn’t work.

I’d like my money back or give me what I paid for.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2019-02-24, version 2.6*

I enjoy this Solitaire game, but there are a few things that need fixing because in its current state it is unplayable for me. The first thing that needs to be fixed is that it keeps crashing at the title screen. I have had to delete and reinstall (losing all of my monthly progress) once already and will likely have to do it again only to have to sit through ad after ad of other solitaire games (doesn’t make sense). The daily challenge thing is fun especially since every game is winnable, but not knowing if the game will start the next time I try to play is enough to make me go find another more stable solitaire experience.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well

*2018-11-22, version 2.6*

It works for a couple of days then crashes completely.  When you try to open it it just sits there on the intro screen, then goes back to the home screen of your phone.  The only way to clear it is to delete it, then reinstall it.

### 1/5 — I can’t get it to even open!

*2018-10-20, version 2.6*

I loved this game and it worked for a few days after the last iOS update, but it won’t even open! Help!!

### 1/5 — My game isn’t opening

*2018-05-24, version 2.5.1*

When are you guys going to fix the bugs so I can actually open the game and play?? This is seriously annoying!!

### 1/5 — Recent bug

*2018-03-12, version 2.5.1*

The app has recently started taking me out of the app for pop up adds every 30 seconds. No other game/app i have does this.

### 1/5 — Booooooo

*2018-03-12, version 2.5.1*

Ad loop bug. Opens a safari page over and over halting the ability to play at all. 

I love this app and ads are fine, but when you can’t get past an ad to keep playing, booooooo.

### 1/5 — Can’t Play

*2017-10-14, version 2.5*

App just crashes. Won’t load at all.

### 1/5 — Almost perfect but...

*2017-10-07, version 2.5*

This game has the best interface and graphics than every other, but it's plagued with ads. Ads between a 2 minute game after 30 seconds long, and now often has pop-up ads appearing in the middle of gameplay that immediately direct you to the advertisers website!

### 1/5 — Ads!!

*2017-10-07, version 2.5*

I stopped playing because I got sick of having to watch an ad before the first time.

### 5/5 — I love this but

*2024-07-15, version 2.6*

Excellent game for killing time

### 5/5 — Great Game, Worth the Ads!

*2017-09-18, version 2.3.1*

Pretty design, lovely sound effects, one of the better apps out there! There are adds before every game, but you can easily sit through them or even skip them! Love it ♥️

*2017-09-15, version 2.3.1*

Simple, but beautiful interpretation of a classic game

*2017-03-16, version 2.3.1*

Cards look great. Nice sound effects, make me feel like I'm playing with real cards 👍

### 5/5 — Great game

*2017-03-05, version 2.3.1*

Great gameplay. Only wish there weren't so many ads. I would pay to remove them if it was cheaper than $5 🤔

### 5/5 — Cute

*2017-02-28, version 2.3.1*

It's fun and stylish

### 5/5 — Update is great
