Community Insight:
Have played this game for years.
The upgraded app is not working with the latest version on our iPhone. It keeps going back to lower levels after we get to higher levels. Please adjust the new version. Can't figure out how to contact you except this way.
We have now had to pay twice for stars that go away when we open this game up again. Please fix this. Will not keep buying stars that go away. Still having problem with stars. And takes us back to level one with 10 stars when we stop the game. Please please fix this.
When will there be an update? Im tired of being sent back to level 13 whenever we stop playing.
It is very addicting. Keeps you busy for quite along time.
We passed 27 but it's only 30 boards smh more please.
We love this version but hate the new updated version. Please don,t change this.
This is a different type of Solitaire with cards crisscrossing one another. Our eyes took a little time to adjust. Each stage is different. We like the competition against ourselves with one minute to solve the puzzles. We reached the last game and won twice, bit am still trying for 3 stars and being in the Gold category.
Level 30! We finished level 30 (again!) with 6 seconds to go and it won't register that we completed the level. Great game. Very addicting but frustrating. Wish there were more than 30 levels. Maybe with upcoming updates.
Get rid of level 16, it's not fun, just annoying.
This game is ok, it could probably be a little more challenging, more sounds, also better score keeping, you don't know where you are.
1 minute doesn't give enough time to finish a level. There should be an option to lengthen the time. We've played it a week and can't get past level 2. But the graphics and sounds are nice. Which is why we give it 3 stars.
This is a fun and addicting game but we keep having to start over. How do we save our progress?? We chose start game and not classic game but it still happens. We also reached level 27 and could not pass it.
Overall great game, just needs the bugs worked out.
We are also stuck on level 27 and contemplating deleting the app. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to this level, however.
We agree with "Solitaire Lovers". We've been addicted to this game but suddenly can't get past level 27. Even when we clear the cards our final score is only about 5,000. We also can't completely finish level 16; only enough to move up. :(.
Have been stuck on level 27 for many weeks. We don't think it is us, and it is taking the fun out of the game.
There's only 30 levels. Please more levels… Thanks and also we have basically beat the game and still can't get the wild card and other power ups idk.
We, too, have been stuck on level 27 for weeks now. There are never enough cards to complete the level. Are you ever going to fix this problem? Please let us know if there is a solution. For awhile, you were competing with Candy Crush but this has gotten ridiculous and is not fun anymore.
Is impossible to pass. It's very annoying and we agree that it takes the fun out of the game.
We were enjoying the challenge but at level 27 it is ridiculous and no longer fun and challenging. We're done with this game.
When you reach 27 you have to start from beginning again. You may get lucky after 100 tries but it seems like there are not enough cards to play 27…..only 27.
THIS APP IS FROZEN ON MY IPHONE. We CANNOT USE IT, RE-DOWNLOAD OR DELETE IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT we CAN DO ABOUT IT>.
Love love love this game…we're addicted.
Very intriguing game! Enjoy the intensity of the time limit and the varying patterns. Thanks for the Awesome Rewards.
Thanks for the fix! Love this game! Still an occasional crash but much improved!,.
Number 27 they don't give you enough cards can you please take a look at the problem we love the game. But not enough cards to complete the game thanks 4stars till they fix the problem then 5 stars.
Nice mix of easy and challenging options. Creative formatting of higher levels.
It is fun but it has erased our score 4 times and doesn't always add up our points Same issue as level fix.
We would appreciate it if you could fix this issue. We have been stuck on level 8 for weeks. We've completed the level several times and it won't let us move on. Thanks in advance hope you can fix it.
We would like to play this game but it keeps crashing and closing. It will let us play a little bit of the classic game but it crashes when we try to play the regular game. We also wish you didn't have to change the card style each time you play. We're glad that we didn't pay for this app.
Impossible to get past level 8. Any hints would be appreciated. Also, watched videos and entered contest but never received stars for watching. Very disappointed.
We could have swore we could play against other players at one point. What has gone wrong w/this game and why are there stupid levels? We're stuck at 2 after beating it a million times. We like playing against others. This stinks!!! We'll give it a 5 even fixed.
This game is a goat way to keep your mind working and fingers nimble. Thank you.
We don't understand how this game figures the scores. We find it challenging but also frustrating. Then the new version has you stuck on level 27 we are about to give up on this frustrating game.
Too bad that no matter how well you do, the game cannot advance past level 2. Ruins what could have been a great game. Not worth playing until they fix this known issue. Also, scoring needs to be explained. Sometimes we have an excellent game, yet score terribly. Sometimes we have a similarly good game, yet score over one million. Where is the user guide that explains how to play so that we can strategize for the highest scores.
We're stuck on level 2 guess we don't understand the game.
We love that they left the old version in the game so we have the choice to play the new one with all the levels or the old one that we love.
We love the new version of the game, but after we played a couple of levels it crashed. Since then, we can't play the game – it crashes at the menu! Bummer, because we really like the new levels.
For those of us who prefer the prior version, this new version is very annoying. To play the old version, now level 2, you constantly have to go back every time to indicate the level you want to play. Also we can't stand the way the cards flip over…they are very distracting. Also distracting are the hearts that seem to float around…what's the purpose. We only updated our iPad with new version. We have no intension to update our iPhone with this new Verizon, even though there is no sound. Hope someone else comes up with a version similar to the old version.
This new version is AWFUL. It's all about money. We deleted this app for this reason. If we could give negative stars, we would definitely do that. That's what this new version deserves.
We loved this game in its original version. We played it all the time. It was a great way to relax or kill time. You could just keep playing. With the new version instead of unlimited play you have lives you can run out of and then you have to wait 6 minutes to play again. Or if you don't want to wait you can purchase more lives. As soon as the game said that we closed out if it and deleted it. Really such a shame. We LOVED this game. We would have given it zero stars but you have to select at least one star.
This game was very fun you played against other people and your wins and loses were recorded now its just another solitaire game with quirky in game purchases very upset with new update.
This was our favorite game and it has been ruined with the levels and the stars and having to wait or buy stars. We might have bought additional levels because we loved the game but having to wait eight minutes just causes us to lose interest and play another game. We would give it zero stars if we could. We wish we hadn't done the update.
We were so happy with the older version of this game before the update. It was just what we needed to relax after a very hard day. The latest update is not as rewarding and we find ourselves avoiding taking the time to play it. GIVE ME BACK MY OLD EDITION.
They took a simple timed game and made it a complicated version that instead of replaying after each minute round, unlimited times, you run out of "lives" and have to wait 8min before you can play again. We'll spend those 8min finding something else to play and forget to come back.
We love to keep playing it! It's a challenge.
The game is fun and challenging a great game for the brain.
This is a totally addictive game, but we wish they would explain the rules that occasionally give huge scores. And we have no idea what the stars give you.
We play this game Sol Minute also play Full Deck Solitaire, both great games! We think it would be nice on Sol Minute to lighten up the blue color in the game. Just a thought ! : ). We enjoy the game and getting better at it.
