Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love, just one bug. In the playing cards event, when we won the 6th deal, labeled win this deal there wasnt like any indication that we had won, even though we had ALL THE CARDS on the four top piles. Please fix this. Thank you for a fun, relaxing game.
If you get bored really fast, we dont think you should play this. If you have a long attention span then you should play this. It gets really hard sometimes so you gotta be very careful on your moves, but you should play it because it has no ads and its really fun. Thats our review thank you everyone.
Ive played at least one hand every day for almost a year. Never an issue with the app. Fun deck themes and weekly events.
We find playing Solitaire helps relax us. We are a widow and all we have to talk to is our 11-year-old Black Miniature Schnauzer. Shes a good companion, but hasnt mastered English. We are learning dog talk, though! Lol.
We've been a player since about 3 months (we think) before the apple arcade version dropped, and after having a (still going) 393 day streak, and being level 316, we feel we can say we've played the game a fair bit. That being said, we feel it's a good game, we like the classic-ness of the app, but it's also not hard to navigate to different game modes of Solitaire,which is helpful. We also enjoy being able to change the look of the board and cards, as it's very appealing to us lol. So honestly over all, it's a pretty good mobile version of solitaire. Now, pros aside, we do wish that the titles and level ups were more interesting. We've been using the title from lvl175 (Madame Shuffles) cause while there were a handful of other good titles (shout out to CEO, Card Executive Officer, that was a good one) they're just not very interesting. However, that's not really major, just s little smt we noticed, however, we think it would be really cool/fun for the level ups to give us something more, like card designs, board designs, etc, jus to have smt to look forward, or for streaks to also do something similar. Again, none of the cons are actually that bad / aggravating, just something we've noticed over the last 393 days, and 316 levels! Love mobility and their games, loving solitaire.
We cant stop playing this game! It is so addictive and fun! There is not a lot of adds and theres so many fun things to do! If you dont get this game youre really missing out.
This game is entertaining, we love to sort the the cards and it keeps us very entertained. You should get it and see for yourself.
We make a goal to play at least a few games a day. Im pretty sure Ive played over a year straight.
Real fun card game to play especially when youre bored at home on a long road trip or something else anyways this game is really addictive so we suggest buying it.
We cannot stop playing this game is fun and addictive.
Playing Solitaire by MobilityWare helps us to fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly than using any drug. We snap up awake and refreshed and complete our housework in record time. Let us introduce ourselves. Our name is Renee Kennard. Im a 73 year old widow with children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a great-great granddaughter due on Christmas Day. We are independent and live with our new husband, Arthur Davidson Fye, in Corona Healthcares Assisted Living Center in Corona, California 92879. Before we started playing Solitaire by MobilityWare, we would toss and turn and stay awake all night. Now we play Solitaire by MobilityWare every night before bedtime and we drift gently off to sleep.
We have to get a little more information about this one It can be very challenging.
Ok so this solitaire game is overall really fun. We play it every day and its a great way to keep our brain going. However, when we play on our iPad 11th gen it sometimes lags and we can never figure out why. Other than that issue Id say this is a 9.5/10 solitaire game.
Time passes quickly, hand eye coordination.
We love the game because its fun and its hard, and we like challenges :).
Its very intuitive and relaxing. Im designed it to look exactly how we want it to, and we love playing.
Great way to de-stress and spend some alone time.
We have been playing the game for a couple weeks now, and we are really enjoying enjoying it, we just wish there was more to help beginners who are still learning how to play the game. Like when we run out of moves if you could tell us what we couldve done instead to avoid running out of moves that would be very helpful. Im looking for something beyond just the hint feature.
This is the most auditing game we've ever played.
We love how it challenges our brain and we have to think smarter not harder.
Its mind exercise. Its honing our memory. Thanks.
Good game overall but it does count undos as a move.our favorite part of this game is definitely the fact that if you exit the app or shut off your phone it wont reset your progress unless you tell it to.
Ive been playing this game for about 2 years now, and we love it because you can customize the cards and backgrounds and make your own atmosphere. We recommend getting it, sure MobilityWare has had a few bumps along the way, but this is still the best solitaire game Ive played.
We have always loved Solitaire and these games are just as fun and we enjoy them each time we play.
Needs to add the ability to statically set our Ace order in settings. We don't like wasting moves making it spade, club, diamond, heart after a few cards are automatically added to the piles.
Win some – lose some. Random dealing (like real world) is expected. But not in Multiplayer. Its obvious the cards are stacked against you and NOT DEALT RANDOMLY. Opponents are fictional since they ALWAYS complete what theyre dealt (unless we finish before them). But statistically thats impossible. Getting stuck in solitaire because of cards dealt is common, but the FAKE Opponents seem to never get stuck.
We love solitaire and have been playing some form of it ever since we were a young teenager. We even have an older version of this company's Solitaire that we've played to death in the past. We love the addition of events in this version, with the exception of the event deals that want us to often solve a deal in 1 minute. Never once have we ever been able to solve a deal in the required time, likely due to both our ADHD and learning disabilities. We play solitaire because we find it enjoyable and relaxing. As a result, we find the inability to avoid timed deals extremely frustrating. More than once, we've started a timed deal, not realizing its timed, only to be interrupted because we wasn't fast enough. We're never fast enough and it is incredibly frustrating to have to hit retry two or more times to exit out of the timed games. We would really appreciate the option to avoid timed deals as a result. The timed deals truly ruin the experience for us, every single time.
Hate when we win and it doesnt move our score up like it shldsometimes for days at a time!!!! Then want to sledgehammer our fone to smithereens.
This is overall a pretty great version of Klondike solitaire. Its simple with opt-in mini games, we guess youd call them, that are easy to ignore if youre not into that sort of thing (Im notI dont need to build a jigsaw when we just want to zone out playing cards). Youre also able to customize your visuals, and they include some of the classic card backs from Windows 3.1, so its nice to be able to get that nostalgia hit. Our only real complaint is that it has a pop-up hint prompt that we cant seem to disable, even after checking every box to turn off proactive hints. Literally just putting the phone down for a minute will prompt a pop-up with a stupid crying king and patronizing message that it looks like Im struggling. No, dude, we just needed both our hands for something else! It has a particularly bad habit of popping up when theres no available moves, offering to show us the solution which presumably means it would start over and make a different choice than we did at some point, but at that point Im content with simply making a new deal. If it werent for that, it would be an easy 5 star rating.
This is a nice take on Solitaire with a variety of goals and challenges rather than just winning. Some are frustrating though like "win within 1:00" (or 1:15). It won't let you skip those goals in events either, so you have to fail them twice to move on. We are often within a few seconds of winning when we fail, which makes it especially frustrating.
Hear us out. We love this game, but occasionally itll deal you hands that you cant win. Ive played a few games slowly (we mean super slow), and we ran out of moves. Im not sure if its a glitch or what.
We have enjoyed this app. Not the AI they use to try and make it harder. On the normal game it takes 3-5 games to win anything. This just isnt enjoyable. The App says that the game is winnable if you select that option. This couldnt be farther from the truth. Id rather MobilityWare would make an app with only the events and have something everyday. Once you get to the top of the pile you only look forward to events because the regular game is rarely winnable. So we gave this a 4 star review because its almost perfect. The AI isnt working, and is deceitful.
Love the game, realized theres AI in the puzzle game and maybe even in the multiplayer. There is no need for AI. Please do better.
Decent game, but all the pop ups ruin it. Pop up for notifications, pop up for daily streaks, pop up for a game within the game. We just want to play Solitaire, not be pestered half the time we have the app open.
We have been paying the Apple Arcade version of Solitaire by MobilityWare+ for years. As of yesterday we reached level 964. But, this evening we started up the game and our level suddenly jumped to 1,661. How did this happen? Is something broken in the game? All the titles are now unlocked, but they werent yesterday. What is going on.
The user has to go through needless steps to make it function properly, especially with the hints. And then its a hit or miss proposition.
We play this game every single day. Its supposed to be fun. But every Sunday rolls around and you but these games in the challenges to finish a game in 1:00. We dont need any more anxiety in our life. 9/10 we dont even play these hands and just wait for the replacement game.
Its fun for a while until you get good at it and start to win too much. The deals arent random insofar as being actual winnable deals. For a time, youre given mostly winnable deals however once you move up in levels you start getting mostly un-winnable deals. This is different from other games where it gets harder to win as you level up, but you can still win. Here, the deal is intentionally un-winnable.
We would like to think Im pretty good at solitaire. But at some point in multiplayer you never win and you have to somehow win in about 45 seconds to a minute. Seems like you play that opponents best timed game that was recorded. Which means you have to grind two points at a time even if you can complete the round and its just not very fun. Maybe add some variance. Give people a fighting chance to win.
We just dont like all the trophy stuff. We just want to play one game after the other with no fan fare bling. Thank you.
They seem to be going pretty steady on making you a loser. Game number 7 and yet another loss. App and gameplay are fine, but some winnable games would be kinda nice. Not very fun if you cant win.
Its constantly winning every round in less than 40 seconds. It seems like a bug. Otherwise, the incentive to win is lost. Its nearly impossible to win that many deals in real life in that short of time. This is a great game, but this aspect is not realistic and takes away the idea of a challenge.
We dont like this Apple Games version. It automatically makes plays for us and Im supposed to be using our brain to do that. We looked around in the game to see if there was a manual user mode, but saw no way of doing it. We like the old version that we had on our phone! Give it back Apple! :-(.
Very fun, we love all the themes and events! However, the game can randomly (almost every time we open it) become very laggy for almost no reason. We can sometimes fix it by manually closing and reopening the app but this doesnt always work. Ive also noticed that if the game is running well and we drop our notification shade or jump from one app then back to the game, it becomes laggy again. We never have this issue with more graphically intensive games with 3D effects like Genshin, MTG Arena etc. Can be frustrating because our favorite thing about this game is being able to slam out a quick couple solitaire games but it takes twice as long when it lags as heavily as it does. Would be an easy 5 stars if this wasnt the case.
When you lose ten games in a row multiple times it gets old.
We loved the challenges and themes. Made a somewhat boring mindless game a bit more fun. But after a month or so of play, all our progress has been lost and Im being prompted to subscribe to Apple Arcade. Oh and now theres ads.
Opponents complete game super fast, no way a human can win.
We play this game every day while we drink our coffee. We do the daily challenge, the goals, and ~11 levels of the 75 game event. There are two major changes that occurred recently that are driving our away from the game: 1. Multiplayer games in the goals. Its solitaire. One player. We want nothing to do with multiplayer, we understand why you have it, but its not for us. If you want to keep it, fine, but let us turn it off and stop bugging us about it. 2. The events started having incredibly short (1:00 to 1:15) time limited challenges. This is dumb. We dont want to play 95% of a game, almost win it, and then have to do it again (usually to lose at 95% again). Get rid of these, give us a challenge re-roll, or let us toggle off challenge types we never want to see/play. We want a semi-mindless game that we can play 15-20mins a day, and this used to be it, but the way its been going we may need to find something else.
Lots of extra and not much of the game.
We do not like that it automatically plays cards. Uninterested daily goals. Will look for a different version of solitaire.
