Community Insight:
We are about ready to delete this app. We love the game but am SUPER ANNOYED with an ad after every two games. Please stop this, or we will find another game!!! We would have given you 5 stars without the ads.
First card game we learned when we were in 4th grade (1960) Ads are at times annoying if you cannot cancel them.
We like the redo. Feature and the clarity of the cards.
This version of solitaire is outstanding! We love that there are so many ways to play and each is challenging.
We enjoy the game, we hate the ads that sneak up and try to get you to buy an app by mistake.
We really enjoy playing Solitaire this game is awesome we love this game.
We love this game. We even dealt with the ads that pop up. But now it's like every other new game, the ads try to pop up. We get a black screen saying "loading" but nothing loads. The black screen with "loading" disappears and can play the game. If we could show you a screenshot, we would. It's getting very annoying.
Had this app for years and like it lots. The ads startle us tho. Sometimes runs a little slow too but not too bad.
This is our favorite game. We were kind of irritated with all the ads, especially the video ones that were coming up after every third game or so, but after we emailed Erik and complained, he answered us right away and fixed it!! Now we only get one a day! We are home bound and this is how we pass the time away! We are totally addicted to Solitaire.
Best one we have found. Clean and easy.
This is our favorite solitaire game! We like the way it plays, better than the paid version plays.
We like this app as it has card game choices and we like that a move can be u done.
We had been using this app for some years but with all the ads scrolling at the top and loud ads that now pop up, we don't think we can continue using this.
This used to be one of our favorite apps, but recently it changed and now, even tough we disabled sound in the app settings, ads pop-up randomly with very loud, annoying music. Horrible!!! We've used the app for years, but because of this we can no longer use it.
We're always into great card games and this one is one of our favorites love this app we prefer you get this game because it has solitaire 4 days.
Best simple solitaire game ever.
We've played this solitaire since it came out. It has spoiled us for anything else.
The best solitaire game Iv'e ever played.
This is our favorite game of all times. It's great. We play everyday if possible.
Neat game.. Like the sounds and the way it moves so easily without a lot of tapping. Even win once in a while.
We just love this game we spend more time on it than we do on Facebook or any other game.
It's great to play anytime you want.
Everything we could ask for in a solitaire game.
Lots of fun and a good challenge! Great way to unwind when needed.
We use this to fill short periods of time and it works great.
Excellent game. Good helps and easy to play. We keep playing and will continue to do so.
This game is additive. Could go on playing forever.
Endless hours of fun, never a repeat of layout, and tracker of winning versus losing if you're competitive.
We've been playing Erics solitaire for about 15 years. We love it.
Really enjoy this app-cards easy to see. Recommend.
Well designed and easy to play. Highly recommend.
While there might be a few little things we'd like to change, we have to say that this and his almost identical free Christmas version are the most fun – even the little tinkling sounds add a joyful feeling. This is the one we habitually go to. Get it.
This game is awesome!! We play it every day.
This is the only game app we like. It works well, it's easy, and playing it totally relaxes us.
Really enjoy playing. Seems to have lower % rate of winnable games compared with other Klondike Solitaire games we play. Would love options on card size, card backs & backgrounds.
We love card games and most of all we love the musical tones it makes as the cards are moved to the top.
Love it!!!! Best solitaire yet!!! We have other solitaires, but we play this one the most. And again, best solitaire yet!!! Except for the ads that pop up. Sometimes when we go to tap on a card, we tap the ad when in pops up instead. Other than that, AWESOME GAME!! Love the different game options too.
Love the graphics and sounds. Highly entertaining. The wiggle "hints" are the best.
A lot of fun, especially the Vegas solitaire. The only change we'd like to see is a running tally of the score carry over from game to game.
Enjoy the app and the various features with moving cards. We also appreciate the deal options.
Enjoy it. It is different from regular solitaire. Nice change. Recommend it.
Cool. We like the way the cards wiggle to give u hints.
Had to get use to wiggle but like a lot.
Game is fine. Too much eye-candy. Continual and frequent pop ups are abundantly annoying.
GREAT! Hours of FUN!! Thanks for the time you took to create it.
Very nice app, love playing it.
Great solitaire! We play it all the time. We love the wiggle feature.
This sol game is the best. Recently updated. We like it.
Loved the game, but had to delete after the update. Many of the ads are sexualized anime and not appropriate for our kids.
Amazing technology. Thank you for figuring out this fun pastime.
