Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Please not so much adds it will perfect ! Is the best game , not so many adds and it have the championships too.
Helps us relax. Makes our day when we win. Good mind game for an 81 year old.
We seem to be addicted! Its a good excuse to sit down and take a break, but gotta watch your time because you can waste a lot of it.
The best Solitaire game out there. After collecting over 1 Million Experience, a 512 day streak since days were counted, reaching level 1034 and obtaining Solitaire Legend by reaching Level 1,000, Im officially retiring this game. Wanted to give the developers our compliments and a good five star rating before signing off on this game.
Like the game but it frequently crashes and or freezes.
The challenge is fun to pursue.
Play daily challenge everyday for the last 2-3 years.
Im a long time player of many Mobilityware games, and we love them for relaxation and self challenge. Since a recent update to this version of Klondike, there is no setting to turn off the sound, and the cards bounce in a weird way on each first deal of the game. Little annoying things that we hope you can fix, and dont add to Spider, FreeCell, etc. Thank you.
This game but every time we play, we play this game almost every day and now it said we were missing three days. We know the 11th is not done of December but all the rest we've done. Why does it keep dropping it Janet.
Play the daily challenge everyday.
This is a good app. However, please remove the following ad: Color Birds Sort which has code loops that prevent the user from exiting the ad. Mobilityware should test ads for easier exiting links before using them in the game.
Love this . It makes nome use our brain we.
The game works great. Good speed and the cards are vibrant. We only wish the hint and undo icons were on top, close to where we flip the cards. Efficiency of movement, doh. Thank you.
If youre into fun classic card games, Solitaire is your guy! Nonstop tricky cards to put back together its almost hypnotizing! Download it now.
The ads for Magic Jigsaw Puzzles almost never have a mechanism to exit from them. We have to force close the app to get past the ad. The creators of this app should spend sound some time looking at the operation of Zimad ads.
Daily challenges are great, multiplayer is completely broken. EVERY SINGLE opponent wins in 1:05. We know theyre all bots but its impossible. Fix it.
Too many, after every single game.
We love this game. We play it daily. It stopped loading so we deleted and reinstalled. After 30 days it is doing the samething. We hate reloading since we lose our streak.
We can get past the usual ads like Insurance or Grocery ones. But these new ads that let you try out other games are beyond awful. Theyre misleading of the game theyre advertising & the demos will instantly start causing the phone the slow down & over heat requiring you to reboot the app. Fun game, just ditch these ads for other games.
The game is having all kinds of glitches now. Freezing up and going to a black screen that you have to shut your phone off, to get back to the game. Thinking about deleting all together.
Game is great but they have too many advertisements that wont go away without force stopping the app. Might have to find a different solitaire game.
This is a great game, lots of fun, designed beautifully. It's our favorite game of all time. There's even customer service! We highly recommend it.
This was the first game of solitaire we learned when we were younger and we were very excited to see it again here!!!!!! Thank you so much!!! Michael..life is good.
Best ever but commercials are too long.
We have gone over a year straight completing the daily challenge. Really look forward to putting games in the bank incase we accidentally miss a day. Left our phone at home by accident when going on a trip, had to have it shipped 2nd day air hoping we would get it before we would lose our streak.
Our grandmother also loved this game.
Its a great game and classic. We give an outstanding 5 stars and well recommended to download.
We only wish there werent so many ads.
We are basically obvious to ads. Ignore them completely. Exception is the, we believe, extremely dangerous epileptic inducing ads that blink, shimmer and shake across the top of screen while engaged in playing our game. We strongly warn others to place a sticky note over that area to hide them. We have learned to not look and just ignore them. We still also tolerate the continuous ads requiring continuous on the X in so many devious and deceptive ways. They are a total time waster because we refuse to pay. We think of them now as part of the advertisement game. And there are still game freezures, particularly with new ads. 11/28/25 .,,,.,.. Previous review we complained about adds. Complaint today is a new add by Clairol that freezes screen. Insists that we choose to go there and the huge X refuses to dismiss itself. It should be banned!! Fix it please !!! Love this game. But tired of dismissing ads everytime we start new one. Don't like how "X" to dismiss ad is often hidden by blending it in. Can imagine children continually going to ads. Otherwise play challenge every morning as we awake early.
We stay up late to get our new challenge after midnight and sometimes we will play four or five times before we complete our game! Our wife and we challenge each other to see who will complete the game before the other.
Challenging need to have way to save scores when iPhone is upgraded.
This is the best solitaire because its free! It doesnt require you to buy tokens. Simple, classic Solitaire. MobilityWare games are built right.
Fun, Relaxing and good to help the mind unwind and get ready for sleep. Thanks for the great game.
Great game awesome graphics loads of fun.
Great app, WHY CANT we VIEW MY BEST TIME WHENEVER we WANT.
The reason it got a 4 instead of 5 is there is an ad after EVERY game. Too many. After every third game would be reasonable. The developers are being greedy.
Struggles to load. Ends up kicking us back out to try again. Also freezes for about 30 seconds in almost every round played.
The worst for ads. Many will not let you out. Freeze up on ads. Very annoying.
We love and addicted to playing, but we had a 356 day streak and suddenly the app would freeze and never reopen. Had to delete the app and reinstall just to play again of course we lost all of our streaks . Highly upset.
The game is the game. Advertising is excessive.
This version of solitaire has always been fun and we have enjoyed playing but the ads that take you to a webpage have gotten out of control particularly the Temu ads. Gonna need to look for a new version if you cant get it under control.
Hate that we have to close each ad 3-5 times. It almost makes us want to delete the game. Such a pain.
Overall we enjoyed the game for years. But the renewal prices keep increasing. We want an option to buy the game and be done.
Too many adds and constant updates.
Ive had this game since 2012. Its been five stars for us ever since. However, the ads have gotten horrendous recently and ruined it. You have to exit out of 3 different pages in a row for the same ad, and half of them are Temu ads that open up safari if you dont click on the X perfectly. If you have chunky thumbs then youll also have 14 temu safari tabs open and youll never stop getting their ads on any platform ever because of it. Downloaded this game in 2012 and didnt have any problems, but this has gotten so annoying that its about time to go find a different solitaire app.
Too many ads. Also have to hit the x button on ads up to 5 times.
Once you get to a certain point, it will just finish the play or game for you which is frustrating.
Would rate it a five, but every dang add you have to click out of at least 4 times. Some even more.
Game keeps getting slower as the game is played.
Stop ads that cannot be closed Toyota Walmart.
