Community Insight:
The only game Ive had on our phone since. Day one! Their card randomization routine is a little too easy easy, when a double exist on the tableau, you almost always get a double in the draw!! Way too often. In reality playing this game with an actual deck of cards would rarely get you 1012 even 16 rounds clearing the entire table. But this is quite frequent. Im not saying it would be better if it was more realistically Random, its still fun to play but we have to laugh. If this game was in Vegas youd be rich.
We bought the extra slot for $.99 and it disappeared. We wish you could make one time payment for a permanent flight instead of a one-use slot. But all in all this is a great game.
You really have to use your memory to reference cards used and remaining, great for the brain.
Would like to play but way to many adds and they are long.
Love this game. Play every night before bedtime. Very relaxing.
Asks to sell us cleaning app please stop.
We bought the extra slot for $.99 and it disappeared. We do not want to log into the cloud or an Apple Store or whatever youre talking about to get our $.99 back. Can you just please give us back the slot that we paid for that disappeared accidentally.
Wayyyyyyyy too many ads too often throughout the game. After every round you get an ad. For free? Yes, but we feel its worthwhile spending the $1.99 to have it ad free.
Its a GREAT game. The reason we gave it only 3 stars is because Im sick of the ads for other games! If we wanted another Id get it but to be bombarded after every game is annoying. If you stop that Ill give it a 5 star rating.
We love this game. You have to think ahead.
Love playing this to relax, but Too much interruption to try new games.
This is the most enjoyable pyramid card game we have played also like the the background audio.
We have been playing this game for years. Love it. Can be real challenging and always fun.
We have played other Pyramid games, but always come back to this one. We have played for several years.
When McDonalds ad appears, it is impossible to get out of it. Have to reboot to continue.
This is a better version. We like it. Thank you for this update. By the way, what little the no ad version cost is well worth the money.
We love the game, we too play it every day…however when we ran into the 'glitch' of not being able to move cards…we got rid of the game from our iPad and then downloaded it again. (Thinking it was just our problem)All seems to be working well, except now after losing a game ,it is always 'game over' …and starting from zero. Where before -yes -the game ended, but we could still add to our last or latest score. We wish that had not disappeared. It was possible to get to a million plus before.
Ive been playing this game for years. Always enjoy it.
Good game but the ads are annoying.
Been playing for years. So addictive.
We play this Game quite a lot. It is enjoyable and it gives us a good way to spend our time. Try it! You'll like it! But we wish it would stop asking us for a review, over and over. It's really a pain in the neck the more it asks the more irritated we get. What can we give but 5stars. Any more and we will begin lowering our stars.
Like the game but hate advertising every bored you beat.
Ive been playing this game for years and we love it.
We have had this game for years. We never once had any problems with it. We love this game. Lots of fun.
Still a great game but we were fine with the former version……seemed simpler. We are getting frustrated with the amount of adverts. Way too many. Taking our enthusiasm away to play. Ive already quit other apps for this reason.
Animation needs to be faster and the high score needs to change when you bust out and not keep it as an accumulation of the score so you get a true high score. Animation is cool and the game is fun. We would rather see records for most games won in a row since high score is not a true score. Update: after a quick response from glowing eye we found out its a simple change to in the main menu to remove the continuation of points. We still would like to see the animation move a little quicker but the graphics are very cool so we are being picky Thanks for the quick response.

This is just pyramid solitaire. No stupid story. No over-the-top graphics. We gladly gave the small fee to get rid of the (unobtrusive) ads. Thank you.
This game is highly addictive and we do mean addictive. This is our all time favorite solitary game. Many have come but non to match. Above the rest, Pyramid Solitaire keeps us coming back to play several times daily. Excellent game if you love solitaire. Still our favorite game of Solitaire. Say we're addicted and you would be on point. Played many years and still can't get enough. After the last 5 years and still counting, Pyramid Solitaire remains our No.1 solitaire game. It has to be good to make us play so much throughout the day. Pyramid Solitaire, one of the best. What more can we say? This is an excellent game of Solitaire that will keep you coming back daily. Still No.1.
Fun and addicting! Play while we exercise.
We have been playing this game since 2014 we love everything about this game.
Frustrating that you can only use the pairs that they say but still fun.
Its our go-to game when we want a break from work. Like to figure out two moves at once.
Too many ads in the game. You give them banners and than you gave them between every round. Back it up to where they were between games.
Sometimes the game sticks and doesn't allow you to take the two cards on top of each other. Happens more than it should.
It just slows the game down, at least let us tap out of it. Ill give you five stars if you let us tap out of the pyramid. Otherwise, Im dropping a star every month.
It is addicting great game Graphics are terrible been the same graphics for years Looks like 30 year old clip art graphics. Same stuff nothing looks cool or up to date. But great game.
This is a really fun game to waste time. The free version is great as well. There really isnt many ads and it is what it is. Its nothing like the lying fake games that promise the silliness simple things then dont do it. Kinda like EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE UNITY GAMES!!! They really need to be sued and have to payout what they promised. Boycott all of UNITY GAMES THEY ARE A SCAM.
Ive played the original version for years. After a couple of years off, then picked it up again recently. What a disappointment! The updated version seems to have winning blocked! We cant get beyond one or two matches before each game runs out of matches. Please fix.
We like the game a lot, but the graphics after winning a round are time consuming and annoying. The top score fireworks are kind of cool.
We challenge ourselves to sharpen our mind.

Incredulous Graphics / Sounds folks the sounds are no longer loading with the game, states must be purchased ??? Elaborate.
Love this game. When we asked a question, they got back to us right away. The answer improved our game immensely.
Best Game Ever our favorite game. Only play one more game besides this one. Give it a try.
How how we see where we stand against other players scores.
Multiple times per day, to clarify. Obviously, Im a fan. We used to play on a desktop, using a mouse; now Im on an iPad. The touchscreen could be a little more sensitive, but we dont think that can be put on the shoulders of the game. We do wish there was, even as a paid feature, the option of calling back a game to replay, so we could see if a different strategy might have been better. We seem to recall that there used to be the option of seeing high scores, not just for ourselves, but of all players. Is that a feature which no longer exists, or did we dream it? If real, we seem to recall some preposterously high scores. Finally, we wonder if there is any online forum or discussion group, as Id be curious to see what others have to say about strategies they employ. Overall, this is a solidly entertaining/addictive game.
This game is addictive but has its quirks & flaws. You used to be able to turn the game to a landscape view where you could use both thumbs. It was sometimes a much faster game & definitely easier on the wrist. The 3 flaws are usually enough for us to delete the game for an extended period of time before downloading again & giving it another shot, in hopes that it was improved since the last time we played. Those 3 flaws are: 1) the time it takes for the game to come to a close, go to an advertisement then come back to the game by fading in & reloading. It takes a very long time, in terms of gaming & its not gotten any shorter in all these years, whereas most games have shortened their wait times between games by now. 2) when the game reloads & you go to make your first moves pairing 2 cards, the first card you tap doesnt register because the game is not ready. Its the most frustrating thing to have a game that is timed not let you begin as soon as the game opens. You actually have to wait for the game to respond AFTER it has officially begun. 3) the fact that you have to move a card to the holding place in order to pair it with the card that was under it is not only ridiculous but a big waste of time. The improvement should be to double tap the top card then tap the underneath card to make a pair. That would greatly improve the playability of the game, improve the times & improve engagement.
Animation needs to be faster and the high score needs to change when you bust out and not keep it as an accumulation of the score so you get a true high score. Animation is cool and the game is fun.
We've played this game for many years and recently, within the last couple months, we began resetting our scores at the first of each month. So the first several games we play, if we dont clear all the cards in the pyramid, Ive lost and you start a new game. But as we continue to play throughout the month, it doesnt matter if we clear the first pyramid or not, you let the score accumulate until some point, which we dont get that either, you end that game! Now Im thinking we may give up playing altogether because we dont know what or how you are doing the scoring and its just not fun. Its not the losing that bothers us, its the inconsistent scoring we dont get. Therefore since we have no clue to what you are doing, it just not fun anymore! Who wants to play 10 games playing only one round and scoring no more than a couple thousand only to find in later games you are up to hundreds of thousands and you didnt actually clear every pyramid on each round and at that point you still wont know when the game will end.
