Watch out for the “free” part
Too much extraneous nonsense, demands for payment, interruptions with interminable ads for other games.
3-4 ads during 1 game
Why stop each game sooo much for ads that are 1 minute? Unnecessary
Glitchy & Ads
I get apps using ads for revenue, but this game takes it to extremes. Not only do you have to deal with the ads in between games, but having them pop up several times while playing a current game is beyond my patience level. Then on top of that, more ads to claim the “prize” of optional card backs and face cards. There are way too many solitaire options out there to choose from that have a more reasonable watching of ads than this one offers.
Fraud Ads
I have playing this and going through their ads. I had one this am that I finally had interest in. I placed an order for the item in which it opened a new window that said confirm order, since I had not received an email at that time I hit confirm order and was immediately charged $20+ which credit card company denied. This is fraud and if they wish to use these companies they are obviously a fraud too. I strongly recommend not to download or delete this app as I have done.
Disappointed
You aggravate the life out of me between every game wanting me to upgrade. I don’t want to upgrade.
I HATE IT!
This game keeps popping up without warning while I am playing competitively on a different game of Mahjong! It won’t go away. It’s like a plague! Destroying my time that I wish to be playing the game I choose to play. It definitely is not this game! I can’t return to my own game of Mahjong because it can’t be gotten rid of!!! I wouldn’t play this solitaire game because of the issues it’s causing with my chosen game!
Cant get out of ads
After each game, an ad pops up and there is no way to get out of it. Have to close app and start again.
More ads than game
More time spent eliminating ads than actual game time. There are better solitaire apps. Don’t waste time on this one.
Adds are stupid long. App deleted…
Played 2 games… spent more time locked into stupid mahjong game add than actually playing. Don’t mind adds but it’s out of control on the length and circular exit method blocking you from having to wait it out and watching how to play mahjong. Nit why I downloaded app. Deleted and not coming back.
Ad riddled
Too many ads!! And I don’t like the npc emojis on the iOS version
Ads are out of control
The ads before and after every game was excessive interrupting my game with ads unacceptable
No
No means no I don’t like this game
Games are rigged
The games are rigged to purposefully make you lose or win, so you are not playing a real game. If you do not watch the adds, you WILL lose every time. But they don’t tell you this.
Buggy ads
Weird ads for weird goods, that break the game every other round or so- I have to kill the game and relaunch
Ads ads ads
Probably could put up more ads if you just canceled the solitaire game
To many adds
It says it is ad free, but it really is not so don’t waste your time lenard final
Pop up nightmare
Stay clear, nothing but popups
Annoying Im trying to play a different game and this stupid add is trying to force me to get the sol
Stay off my game, your adds interrupt every game I play. Can't enjoy the games. And your add forces games on people, It wont let you get off the add unless u down load the new one. That's not right. If I have to download a game that I don't want all I end up doing is deleting it. It should be a simple yes or no? Stop messing up my game or I will stop trying altogether , thanks
Bad ad
Ad is obnoxious, it will not clear and if I switch to a different game, it follows me. Get rid of it.
Add
Fun at first but if you’re looking for a fun game of solitaire this quickly becomes not it. If you blocks ads like I do just to waste some time and play solitaire then it will continually give you unwinnable hands till you watch ads.
Sooooo many ads
I used to enjoy playing but the number of ads has gotten Crazy! Ads popping up multiple times over the game you are currently playing is wild. Then you finish a level and see an ad. Finish that, see your score, and then another ad before playing again. Sorry had to delete it. Terrible
TOO MANY ADS
In between every board on a Journey there are ads, and they even pop up in the middle of a game! The timed games are especially frustrating when you have to kill an ad that pops up in the middle of your time. I will only play the daily game because otherwise all you do is close ads.
Privacy Policy
Very invasive. The policy is reflective of data farming framework. The policy is also hidden once you download the app you’re only able to click except there’s no option to read the policy. You must go and scroll to the bottom of the application information to access. Very unsavory.
To many ads
Game stopped being fun to play when you started having ads every 5 seconds and made it nearly impossible to get out of them
Obtrusive advertisement
The ads at times make you close the game and restart sometimes multiple times.
Ads
Was fine until ads ran in the middle of your game.
Didn’t mind before and after, but during? Thats just excessive.

Can’t get did of it
I don’t use apps that are so hard to get rid of. Go away!
Too many ads
Had this game for months, now there’s suddenly two ads after each level and pop up ads in the middle of a level. Deleted and got a different solitaire app.
Annoying interruption of the favorite game on my phone. I’ve played solitaire adnausium.
Please stop sending me the ad for Solitaire. It’s boring and stifles my enjoyment of working jigsaw puzzles😣
The Ads are Out of Control
The ads are soooo bad they open while you are playing. Unskippable too. Breaks the flow of the game and concentration. Terrible. I had to uninstall it just to keep my sanity. Wasn’t this bad a few days ago tho.
Adds
To many adds
Functionality
App does not work properly
Garbage
Garbage commercial game. Will never reach goals.
Don’t, just don’t
Far too many ads that try way too hard to make you download them. They fence you in and of late, won’t even let you clear them. I’m at level 105 and have to quit the game because there is an ad I simply can’t escape. A real shame
Too many ads
Too many ads
Ads ads ads!
Every few minutes there is an ad! I am deleting this version of Solitaire !
Frustrating
I just downloaded this app and played a couple games, pop ups keep coming up saying I need to download a newer version of this game which doesn’t update this app, you have to install a new app. And then the new version app, play a couple of games and the same message pops up saying this app is outdated and needs a newer version.
Mid game this thing changed to something else , I hate that
I hate how they switch games on me
Too many adds
This used to be the best solitare app. Until the adds took over.
Interruptive Ads
Had this app for years and the ads have just gotten worse and worse. Finally uninstalled it after they introduced ads that randomly interrupt a (less than 2 minute!) game of solitaire instead of play at the beginning and end. Often multiple ads in a row; final game before uninstall interrupted w/ 3 ads in less than 1.5 minutes of gameplay. Don’t bother.
Too much
The amount of ads in this freaking game is atrocious
Ads and more ads
I understand maybe ads between games, but ads in the middle of a solitaire game just so you can lose your focus. I would enjoy the game if I didn’t have to deal withdrawals ads every 30 seconds.
Solitaire
Too many forced ads
Fun game… But…
….But way too ad intensive. End a game? Watch an ad. Start a game. Watch an ad. Get a text in the middle of a game after watching an ad? Watch another ad. Fix the ads taking over everything it would be a 5 star game. Love everything else about it.
Not worth the time.
You will be waiting for adds to run several times for one play. Not worth the time.
Used to love it…
Used to enjoy this app but the incessant ads have killed it for me. They used to launch one ad after each successful game or reset. Now you must endure multiple ads, numerous “x” and “done” clicks, and often clicking out of the ad still forces you further into the ad. So, for a 45-second game, plan to endure 1-1/2 minutes of ads. Yes, I appreciate developers have to make money, but having experienced how this app used to work, I find the recent changes too much for me.
Fun game.
Too many ads.
Pop-Ups Make it Impossible
I loved this app at first, and it was becoming my favorite, but the ads make it impossible to play.
I keep getting this one that takes up the whole screen with no way to clear it except to wait all day for it to reset. Then when I press anything I can find on the screen to move it, it just gives me multiple pop-ups and still won’t let me get back to the game. I really hope they fix this.
