Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We like how many games are included in this. Its not just solitaire.
We can just play Solitaire and not be constantly interrupted with new updates and other distractions.
We love these games! Our only suggestion is to show the time to complete for every game, including daily challenges.
We love this game. We could play all day and night. Thank you.
Ive always wanted to learn how to play solitaire. Our mom recommended this app to us and we downloaded it and we immediately started playing it. We thank our mom for recommending this amazing app to us and we recommend it to everyone who wants to play solitaire as much as we wanted to.
Makes you think and time passes by quicker.
Other sign in, would be Helpful for us n Others, Without XBox or Gaming Sources. Very Good GREAT VARIETY of Solitaire.
This app doesnt require us to update the app every time we use it.
We absolutely love this game. We love Solitaire (solitaire is a collection of games. Yes, we know we love all of them.) but somethings wrong with the Klondike game every time we play Grandmaster exactly at three minutes the game ends and theres no more moves Ive been trying for days and it used to work but every single time at exactly 3:00 minutes theres no more plays in the game ends idk if there need to be an update or something but its making us sad we love this game and Ive been playing it for years even on grandmaster and never had this problem the option for reporting a problem hasnt been working either so Im making a review but we did five stars because we still LOVE it we just want this problem fixed please. Please dont make us use another Klondike app. Ive been using this solitaire collection app since 2015. Please fix this problem.
Great great game stop the freaking ads, especially Timu. It screws the whole thing up. We just assume never see it again.
Once we found the level we play at, just well enough at each game so we can win but don't win every time, we really enjoy every game. Our only wish is that the app could be used off line when we are on an airplane.
Our favorite game in all it fun forms! It has a lot of great features such as customizable cards & background, scoring with fun extra to win. Also it has a nice backup feature so you can change devices and keep all your customization! We recommend this version of solitaire over any other apps we've tried.
Jewel has a number of bugs. You can close the app after a finished game, reopen the app, and it will increase your level from the old game score. Repeat. We also think that the clear bonus is not being counted correctly when you use two jewels for a power clear.
The only true complaint we have abt the whole thing is only that when they count the time to do the days event, the start the clock ticking when you open and stop only when you complete the game. It is not the true time it takes to do the puzzles because if we are interrupted (eg need to go cook for our family) the clock keeps ticking the whole time Im called away. So what might literally have taken us 20 minutes to finish the games would show up as 8 hrs bc Im cooking instead of finishing the set. They should be able to easily count only the time when you have the game open on your phone.
Its good but its just a little annoying because when you do something wrong what we did wrong just pops up even when we actually clicked something. We understand that the game doesnt know its an accident but they could take off the game function and the card could vibrate. Thats just our opinion but we hope you will take that into consideration.
New Layout is ok but challenge icon now does not show if it is a mini or not. This is important to us to judge if we have time to play or not before we start. We like to play challenges in one setting because after decades as a loyal player we still have no idea how to stop the game clock. Best fix would be to have the challenge clock show on the screen so the player could if it is running or not. Over years of searching it seems this has always been a gray area for microsoft and we have her got a solid answer. We would play a lot more if this mystery of the century about the clock could be solved.
They really do a number on your battery life. Phone began getting pretty toasty too. Still, the traditional solitaire games are stable and fun. Honestly worth the ten bucks a year to remove ads if you play on a regular basis.
Too may ads, gets annoying The games are awesome.
The solitaire games are fun but the newly added Bubble game is so full of annoying, tedious to close ads, it takes the fun out of it. We understand free games have to have ads, but at least allow us to filter them. Gambling ads all day today and those ridiculous western games with the animated cowgirls in mini shorts and jiggling boobs are obnoxious.
12/16/25 PLEASE STOP SENDING ME TO APP STORE OR SAFARI/GOOGLE WHEN we TAP THE 2nd X to get out of the far-too-frequent and LONG damn ADS!!!! We AM NOT GETTING ANOTHER GAME BY YOU!! Stop it.
There are two things that are annoying. When we try to play daily challenges and events on our iPad we get a message that says we are not connected to the internet, although we are connected. Also, when we try to play spider solitaire, we sometimes get both red and black cards. Sometimes all black. Otherwise, we enjoy this app.
Ive played solitaire for years enduring the ads prior to the start of games. The ads were so intrusive today that we could barely see the screen to play Solitaire. This occurred after enduring the advertisement prior to the game starting we can no longer enjoy playing Solitaire and thats really disappointing.
Trying to sign in gives the error message something went wrong, try again which is very helpful! Playing as a guest there is no way to turn off the automatic solver which makes the game kind of useless. The graphics are beautiful.
Excessive adds hard to play with so many adds.
A great app ruined by way too many ads.
Something is WRONG!, Ive been playing this game for a long time, but got so sick and tired off of the adds before we could play, so we made the annual purchase..AND STILL HAVE TO WATCH THE ADVERTISEMENTS! We are soooo aggravated!whats the use of paying for this nonsense and still have to watch ads.
This app interface is so annoying to use, when scrolling through the card pile its too easy to shuffle out another 3 cards when you are trying to use the available card in the pile. We have to undo about half the time because the interface cant distinguish between the two moves. Also, if you want to swipe the app up to open another, you have to do it multiple times. You can watch the bar at the bottom and it doesnt become active until you have tried several time. We dont know the purpose of intentionally designing your app to be annoying, but its clearly done on purpose. The only thing good about this app is that it offers multiple difficulty levels for solitaire.
The additional games that have been added to the Solitaire collection our battery killers. The bubble game in particular, drains the battery on our 16 pro Max after playing five or six games. The games feel like they are beta tests as they lack instructions. Things happen in the games that have no explanation whatsoever. We suggest only playing the Solitaire games.
Tried the Microsoft Game Collection mobile app but even though we signed in the app wanted us purchase the app to not show ads; Microsoft cant sync mobile and desktop apps.
We pay a subscription to play this without ads but that apparently doesnt matter with the new update pushing clickbait games at us on the home page. If we wanted to play a knock-off candy crush game Id download one, not look for it on a solitaire application.
Please, we BEG of you, pick ads that dont interrupt our music. We cannot and will not use an app that stops (??) our music ((???????)) (((the audacity))) so j cant listen to an ad ((((????)))) Seriously. This is our favorite solitaire collection, but we cant use this app if it stops our music every time we have to sit through an ad. We dont care that there are ads, just pick better ones. Im begging you.
We've been a paid subscriber for years. We paid for an ad-free Solitaire app. Why is half of our homescreen now taken up by other games? Such a bizarre and user hostile UX/UI decision. Change it back or lose our subscription.
Its cool, but it has way more ads than other Solitaire games.
We play all 5 games while we have a cup of coffee every morning. Ive done this for years. Its realxing and enjoyable.
Good game but ads preceding the game are agonizingly slow. Wastes lots of time, staring, waiting,waiting.
Do not like the last update, at all. Unnecessary changes do not improve the game. At least bring back showing the game stats that used to show up at the end of a game.
Adding shortcuts to additional instant play games by cutting into the space used to display on main screen. Waste of space imo. We would suggest that OPTIONS to hide these additional games be added for those who prefer the space be used for game we PAID FOR.
For the last 3 days, we havent been able to connect to the app and keep getting code 101. We have followed all the suggestions to correct this and nothing has worked. Have never had this problem before.
It would be nice if the solitaire app was accessible with voiceover.
We have played this game for decades, literally. But this year they changed it and did away with showing you your score, which included a time bonus based on how quickly you finished. We used to really enjoy seeing our score and trying to outdo it. Its just not as enjoyable now. Dont fix what isnt broken.
Pretty much what it said on the box: Microsoft Solitaire, like what used to be installed in Windows 98. By default. We only play the spider version but theres a couple others. Its not earth shattering, but it takes almost no time to start up and kills time while waiting in lines.
We had to delete our Microsoft solitaire because of locking up and saying we have 8 viruses which we do not. It ask that we purchase a cleaner which we did, but it didnt help the situation. What is going on.
Love this game loved it so much we paid for the ad-free subscription. It worked until renewal day. Then the ads marched right back in like nothing happened. Last year logging out and in fixed it; this year, even that trick failed. Guess Microsoft efficiency is still the ultimate oxymoron.
Our husband is playing your Gravity Blocks and we cant find it to play with him. We really want to try that game too.
New Jerusalem, square business Galatians six verse seven New King James Version Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Put your heart into it get honest learning and honest winning. You have to give up yet not often. Trial and error.
We play the daily games every day but limit ourselves to those five so we dont while away too much time on electronics. We do go back and try to get the ones we missed on earlier days.
Our only complaint is that we have to wait until midnight to play. Can you fix that.
Love these challenges. So nice they stopped the irritating music. Your software locks up now. We had fun.
Ive been playing this game for years and it there is a banner add across the bottom third making it almost impossible to move the cards. Ive gotten used to the banner that has been across the bottom but this is not good. If its there tomorrow we guess Ill delete the games and find something else. There are too many free games out there that we shouldnt have to fight a banner Sorry.
Like playing solitaire. This allows us to.
