good idea turns into a scam with non-stop ads and coins. not worth 10 dollars to get it without ads. shame they almost had something.

way to many ads, you may make more money and keep a free to play game by adding a no ad for a fee option. when your spending more time watching ads, then actually playing a game;then you're going to loose customers.
Got up to level 134 but they just recently updated the game and forced me to update, and they put locks on cards so you can't get to them without getting the key. I uninstalled because now I can't pass the level. Why make it so difficult to play? It was ok before, now it's junk!
changing my 5 stars to 1. The recent addition of lives, giving you only 5 chances to try, along with locked columns makes gameplay move from hard to impossible. I was willing to pay money here and there before... but not now. It had been fun and challenging now it's literally just impossible and trash... I can get behind a game that has lots of ads if I don't also have to lose lives for it.
used to be my favorite game. played it every night to help me sleep. I paid to remove ads just to eas the flow and could play for hours. Now I get stuck on a level...which i could do over and over....I enjoyed that. But with this last update....cant play for more than 10 min before im out of lives....im on lvl 1391 so I get more hard lvls frequently...so now I will have to find a new game
i was loving this game. I paid for ads to be removed. Then the locks came. I don't mind a bit of extra challenge but when you are trying to build coins so you can buy the occasional extra moves required, this is really frustrating. Having the keys on the hardest level and now only 5 lives at a time is making me not want to play. I am well aware when I am definitely not going to get through a game so being able to play a level over and over till I get it done was great.
Full of ads, one after each level. Uninstalled.
Would be fun but the ads are impossible, constant, and far more annoying than in most mobile games I play. You can't even complete a level without an ad. You can't turn them off either. Shame because this would have been a nice relaxing game otherwise. Edit a long time later: Came back and tried again since I could turn off ads. Had a great time until the limited lives thing was implemented. Sadly, this became basically unplayable since flipping the deck uses your moves. Uninstalling again 😞
Used to love this game, and would sometimes lose track of time and spend 3 or 4 hours playing. Opened it up today to find that now there are lives 😒 Higher levels are sometimes impossible to win on the first try, depending on how the cards are arranged, doesn't matter what moves you make. So now it'll take me forever to get past levels. At this point I'll probably uninstall and find a similar game.
Started changing the game every week. The limits on how many games you play before you are out of lives ruined it for me. Luckily there are plenty of other games like this that arent trying to nickel-and-dime you
another waste. interesting and fun concept but any game that forces ads during gameplay is a bust for me. 2 thumbs down
Recent Update is a cash grab. This was one of my favorite games, but a recent update added a lives concept that you can either watch ads or pay for. After another update that introduced a lock concept, the number of moves requires to solve are so thin that a lock level usually means spending all your lives unless you get the perfect randomization. This game is now trash... cash grabbing devs... Developer response is a joke... Trash game devs...
The game's fun, but do everyone a favor and don't advertise it as an offline game because it does not work offline.
worst updates ever. i used to enjoy it, it had hard and challenging levels already, i could even handle the blocked cards but the lives system makes it unplayable. uninstalling I wish it comes back to normal
game keeps crashing now all of a sudden. ive uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times, make it over 100 to 200 levels and then the game starts crashing. I can only use it in airplane mode without it crashing, however, there's an ad that keeps trying to force it to load and then I get stuck in a cycle where it tells me to retry because there's no connection but as soon as it's connected it crashes. a real shame too because I thoroughly enjoy this game
played it everyday i reached lvl300 until you added the lives thing uninstalling, garbage and greedy studio
Loved this game, but now they've bought a limit on lives in and made levels harder to finish on the first try, which leads to needing to use coins to buy more, which would lead to buying coins etc. You see the slippery slope and I'm not falling for it. Please remove the lives update on your next update cause its awful and it seems I'm not alone in this.
constant ads, mid game ads, win or lose a round there's an ad.
played this game but found it to be boring
Too many ads ( which it's free fine) but levels become impossible to beat without spending money once they start locking cards. Uninstalling, I'll find another game to waste time on.
changed once I bought the ad free version. I paid $10 for ad free just to find out they add lives to the ad free version so I can no longer restart when ever I miss up and that was the ONLY reason I purchased the ad free version. Shame on y'all do better. THE LIVES FEATURE DID NOT SHOW UP UNTIL I PURCHASED AD FREE. PLEASE REFUND SO I CAN UNINSTALL.
April 20 update of adding lives/hearts to game has ruined my enjoyment. The ability to play for unlimited time was why I chose this over competitors. Support refuses to refund my $10 no ads purchase. Wasted money for a game that fundamentally changed gameplay without warning. Uninstalled.
horrible game it has tons of ads. Way more than other similar games. So many ads it destroys an otherwise great game.
bought the no ads and am still getting ads that pop up underneath an "ad break". would like my money returned to me as this is a misuse of my money.
Game was fun until they added lives now I'm not sure if I even wanna play
I am unsure why I spent $14 dollars or so to "Remove Ads" and then it turns out the gameplay forces you to watch a number of ads anyway if you have run out of moves. the new lives lost system again seems like a quick money grab to get people to spend even more money on the game.
fun initially, paid to remove ads then the game got so hard you literally can't complete a level without either restarting for randomness of the deal or watching more ads, then they just introduced a "lose a life" mechanic for restarts which defeats the purpose of paying to remove ads, bait and switch all the way, no accountability anymore
It makes no sense to make you have way limited moves and a limited life system. If you want a ragebait game, just laugh flap bird 2
I get companies need to make money with advertisements. I am all for watching one after a game, but not in the middle of a game. Ads are way too long.I would not download this game although it is fun
Just an add ridden mess cool concept but having unskipable in the middle of a round that forces you to come to the store.....no thanks update: it's not worth 13 dollars sorry...🤷🏼♂️ Also designed as a pay to win slop like everything else. doesn't give you enough moves and counts EVERYTHING as a move...sorry but just flipping the cards over which you have to do should not take away one of your moves....I originally gave this 2 stars but yeah it's not worth the time. is a great concept though.
it was fun until they started milking the adds. impossible to play. I even up graded to go add free a couple months ago, now its back to several between each game, adds during game. a life limit feature was addrd that ruins it
This had been my favourite game for a couple of months now, but this latest update is ridiculous. I'm frustrated and annoyed that I have paid for the ad-free version, only for what I paid for to be changed to the point that I can barely play it anymore. The locks were frustrating sometimes but a good challenge occasionally, but with the addition (a negative addition) of the lives feature, you're basically screwed if the deck you start with sucks. Feels like a money grab.
This app used to be great. Challenging enough to keep me entertained, but easy enough I wouldn't give up. Then they introduced a "locked columns" nightmare. It gave an unnecessary extra element of challenge, but still didn't interfere with the overall fun. Recently they introduced a "life system". It is unplayable now. I've moved on to a different solitaire association game that doesn't introduce unwanted nonsense. Congratulations on ruining a game that was fun and I could spend hours playing.
interesting concept, but way way way too many ads.... deleting....
Another one I'm uninstalling. Words of advice...stop making these games money grab games. The creators of these games are clearly making it nearly impossible to lvl up without forcing players to use real money. Too many adds, locked cards, with each card moved you lose chances, and no incentives after watching all these unnecessary adds. Keep this up, you will be out of business eventually.
what a horrible update. i'll have find a different solitaire game. this one has gone off the rails. pity. $HITAPPS (fitting name)
Too many ads
used to love this game, got to level 500 in just a month or so. don't like the new keys they added at all, very disappointing that they changed the gameplay that much
This is nothing more than an ad farm.
I can accept ads between levels and restarts, but surprise ad breaks during game play is just rude! It is jarring and frustrating. This was my favorite game and now I can't stand it. Terrible change!
i have to uninstall after completing 200th level as it doesnt open
Enjoyed this game as stress relief and paid for ad free version. But I am extremely disappointed in the new update. I just want to match cards and not engage in locked columns or any such nonsense. I paid money to support this game because I enjoyed it. I dislike the update very much. eta: now players are limited to 5 "lives?" I wish I could get my money back. I regret supporting this game.
Had it at 5 stars. best game! logged in today and now it does the hearts/lives. it was so different than other games but they ruined it. very disappointing, uninstalling.
keeps popping up maleware
this was my go to game app until the most recent update of losing lives whenever you lose a level. I'll have to find something else I guess
I use to love playing this game until you limited me with lives. I loved the non-stop play before. Kind of makes me want to uninstall and never play it again. Edit after receiving feedback from developer- definitely uninstalling if the limited lives remain a feature. It was a great game until then. No more.
please stop changing the game that I paid for. just make a new game and leave this one alone!!!! it was perfectly fine then you ruined it I paid for no ads and then you added lives so that you could force me to watch ads when I paid for none!!!!
the last update is totally a disaster, you ruined the game, it was fun, now you added the 5 lives and the keys thing? I'll move on on thing s game and I'm deleting it, disappointed
too many ads. you can't get through one game without an ad right in the middle of it. a long ad, that you can't click out of. uninstalling.
