It constantly freezes when you add additional slot and also when trying to go to the next level after an ad ### 1/5 — Why put 4 places *2026-03-01, version 1.27* If we can only put freakin 3 up there but other than that annoying bug cuz it’s happened to me like 3 times now but it’s an amazing game I can actually beat the levels but until that bug gets fixed I’m only giving 3 stars… please please please don’t start doing this I don’t mind watching ads but please please please do not make me watch gossip harbor every ad honestly this game is fun it just needs the bugs fixed and it would be perfect and also this is a game I don’t mind. Watching ads on I just don’t want to see gossip harbor every single ad I mean it’s like they took over the internet or something their ads are so stupid because they keep repeating the same freakin nonsense oh I want to play the game where the mother is homeless with the daughter then the other character says there’s no such game as that then the character says gossip harbor us that game even though you play gossip harbor and it’s nothing not 1 bit like that come on with the damn bugs now I watch a freaking ad for the extra column and you won’t give me it because I’m supposed to watch two ads. I watched the first end and then exits out. Don’t let me watch the second ad, which you won’t let me get the freaking. Extra column for I mean I don’t care about watching ads on this game but now you’ve got another bug that won’t let me. I mean fix the bugs but you’re not gonna listen to us. You’re just gonna freaking look at all the people that five stars and be like oh our game is doing great. I don’t care about the other bugs. I’m deleting your game which is a shame because your game is better than all the others but you have too many damn bugs ### 1/5 — Fun game *2026-01-08, version 1.12* Fun game but, please change the layout. Can’t see the cards becuz the bottom buttons. The card you turn over needs to be left side. It moves to center or beyond ### 1/5 — Stupid and repetitive *2026-01-05, version 1.12* There’s so much wrong with this game…. EXTREMELY REPETITIVE you get the same categories over and over :pet, dog, cat, food, fruit, vegetable, sports, tools, kitchen, electronics, weather, jobs, emotions. Sometimes you get 2 weather (pictures of weather or just the word describing weather) or 2 sport, just pointless. Nothing new, just the exact same categories, exact same pictures, over and over. Half the time the piles won’t move to the correct category (if you have a stack of say, sports, they won’t transfer to the category and you have to move them one at a time, which takes away the number of moves you have left. Deleting this game. ### 1/5 — Like but don’t like *2025-11-22, version 1.02* Where are the instructions ### 2/5 — Fun but way too many ads *2026-01-16, version 1.12* These games always advertise relaxing, but limiting the numbers of moves and making me watch ads upon ads to be able to finish a round isn’t relaxing at all. It’s super annoying. ### 3/5 — Needs work *2025-12-31, version 1.12* The basic game is fun (if not unique), but it needs work. I LOVE that there is no move limit, but there are problems. The biggest is the cards don’t seem to want to go where they belong - even when trying to place them in an empty slot — to the point where you second guess if it’s the right category. Secondly, you can’t put a category card on a stack of cards that go in that category — which is really important when you’re trying to free up a slot. Lastly, and least importantly, when you’ve got a stack of category cards already up and in place, it doesn’t show the already discarded/placed cards - it just shows the category, making it harder to tell which pile is which. ### 3/5 — Too small *2025-12-07, version 1.08* The cards are too small and hard to see ### 3/5 — For the developers, but read if you want a in-depth analysis. *2025-11-20, version 1.01* This game is at best, a rage bait game. It exists as a spinoff of the beloved classic of solitaire, but removes so many of the needed game elements that it just becomes infuriating to play. I find this disappointing since the graphics, animation, and concept are so good. So if any developers are reading this review please take my three biggest criticisms into consideration. 1: Unstackable “Aces” One of the most frustrating aspects I’m discovering of this game is that the title cards, the ones with the crowns, aren’t stackable. Meaning, I could uncover a card in a row but get soft locked due to no available moves. This could be fixed by simply being able to stack the title cards at the end of a row, but not be able to put anything on top of them. By changing this mechanic it would allow for much easier gameplay. 2: Forgotten color mechanics In normal solitaire, you have the red (diamond and hearts) and the black (spades and clubs), they are interchangeable as you stack them back and forth. But since this game doesn’t have a color mechanic, you only can stack up the same theme. This is a problem because it often causes for another soft lock due to there being not enough spaces for each theme. So, to fix this I would recommend allowing a mode for color distribution. Splitting each of the assigned themes to either teal or red (to match the graphics). This could be turned on or off depending on the player. 3: The amount of moves A classic solitaire game for me takes around 80/90 moves, 2-4minutes, and I have a need to have each stack next to each other once completed. So, with that in mind, this game only allows for ~100 moves, without color mechanics and “aces” stacking. Which is close to impossible. I’m on level 16, which is solely due to pressing restart and following the poor reshuffling (it puts everything together. So you really just have to follow along). The beginning levels were much better, with the smaller card selection, but with the average card count the moves aren’t enough. If you want 100 moves to work you need to implement one of the prior solutions I’ve mentioned, then it would work. I understand it’s to create challenge, but oftentimes I end up soft locking myself before I’m even at 50 moves left🫤 In conclusion, you have a great game in the making. If you add the solutions I’ve recommended, I could see much more people playing the game. You currently only have 1 bad review, so I suggest you keep it that way. I think you’re doing good and I’m excited to see if you’ll update the game to improve! Kudos to the animating & programming teams. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-22, version 1.8* I love this game and the ads are pretty quick ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-02-05, version 1.20* Absolutely love this game and have recommended it to a couple of people I know :) ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-11-24, version 1.03* Loving this game , fun and challenging --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
