Rigged app
The fact that it does the same cards every game is crazy to me u never win after the ver first time so this game is a waste of space will be deleting now when cards are shuffled it’s almost the same cards every game only difference is the color will change nice try
Use to love this game
Now it SUCKS. There are ads you can’t get to disappear so you can get back to a new game. I play a free version so I expect ads. I also expect to be able to click out of the ad to get to my next game. Guess I’m going to find a new solitaire game as this one is unplayable now.
Commercials suck!
The commercials actually keep me from getting addicted. So thank you.
Solitaire
Too many obnoxious adds. Seems to lock screen
So many deceptive ads
The game is fine but the ads are pretty obnoxious. They are very long and deceptive, tricking the user into clicking on unintended things, like “your app is out of date, click here to update.” Or “close” actually leads you to the Play store to download a different app.
Too many ads
You spend more time watching the ads between hands than you do actually playing
Ads try to force open Amazon and Temu
Used to be great but now they use ads that try to force you to open Temu or Amazon 🤮
Insane
I recently deleted the app because I realized you want a recurring payment…..for a solitaire game. OK, Icarus, trying flying higher, that way the fall will be greater. You are outside of your mind.
Ads between games are long and you can’t exit out until it plays for a while
I have been playing the free version for years. The game started to glitch so I downloaded the newest version. Now ads are so annoying I am just going to delete the app.
Unplayable
This is my all time favorite game. But lately I’ve had to reinstall weekly or more often. The game has a memory leak or something because it freezes more and more often until it’s just unplayable. It’s offering the option to save progress, obviously they know it’s broken and there only fix is reinstalling.
Streak counter broken
On the Apple Arcade version the streak counter fails after 365. I have played and won a game for 610 successive days, yet the counter shows 428. It drops down to lower 400s. It shows a day added then suddenly drops that day then climbs up and down. Screwed up. Please find the bug and fix it. A streak counter is pretty easy code to write.
Solitaire
I’ve used this app on my iPad since I was in Afghanistan and I’ve enjoyed it. But, over the past two to three years, it has repeatedly frozen, returning me to the main screen, refusing to restart. I’ve had to uninstall this app, then reinstall it, only to encounter the same problem in a month. I confess that I’ve reached the end of my patience.
All ads
Brutal
Paid for an ad free experience, still get ads
I purchased the year of ad free play. After a few months I’m started getting ads again. This is false advertising!
Ads
Late stage capitalism leads to my crippling solitaire addiction, thwarted by constant ads.
Bad updates
I used this app for several years now. But the last version updated is stalling several times during one game which makes it unplayable and frustrating. I used the last version on an IPhone 16 pro max with iOS 26.1. So is not an issue of not being updated as the developer conveys to many reviews here… so why mess with something that works and do some “updates” and the whole app doesn’t work well anymore? As soon as I open the app and go to settings it is stalling and could not do anything in the settings of the app without noticing that instead of scrolling actually will open something as you would tap on it while trying to scroll.
So many ads
I got this to casually play while listening to audio in my downtime before bed. The ads are just too much. Many ads are longer than the games themselves and you have to push a million buttons to exit from them. I’m willing to tolerate some ads but not this many.
The settings is difficult to navigate also. The visuals are off putting.

PLEASE fix the performance issues
I used to use this app all the time, but for more than a year, it’s barely worked. It crashes when trying to load, and even once I start playing, it freezes for multiple seconds 10x a game. Some days it literally won’t open, it will just crash dozens of times in a row. I play sometimes anyway but have to quit after one or two rounds because of how aggravating the pauses are. Truly disappointing because if the app actually worked I’d give it 5 starts
No More Moves
I keep getting “No more moves” and I don’t recall this happening as much with other versions of solitaire in the past. Very annoying and then I have to watch an ad to reset each time.
Daily Challenge
I loved playing the game especially the daily challenge. If you got stuck there's a friendly link to the Facebook community for help, specifically for that game. The link has been broken for months, alienating everyone. Complaints have been ignored. Fix the link.
Not worth the excruciating time the ads play
Used to be worth a few minutes to play a game or 2 but now with the ads it takes longer to sit through some freemium garbage ad than it does to play a game.
Ads? What the heck.
Paid subscription for ad free playing. Now get an ad after every game. Bye bye.
Too many adds and you are forced to watch!!!!
The advertisements are forced upon you. It will not provide you with an x to get out of that add until you have watched the whole thing!
Can no longer access daily challenges
I can’t get daily challenges anymore. I get a notice saying I need a WiFi connection. I have a WiFi connection and nothing I have tried will help with this situation.
VPN issues
I used to love this app, but now it won’t let me play the daily challenge and multiplayer unless I disable my VPN. Not worth the loss of some privacy and security!
Non-Optional auto features make for frustrating gameplay
There isn’t a way to turn off the automatic features (moving cards for me as soon as a move becomes available). Also can’t turn off the hints that show up so quick it’s aggressive. I️ didn’t get a chance to think before it popped up telling me how to play.
Too many ads
Enough said. Too many adds
Remove Solitaire Ad that goes black
The link to this ad goes to a black page that says Solitaire in white type with a thin green time line that never moves. And then the black page provides no escape X. So I have to completely reboot my iPhone. Please remove this badly coded ad.
Mikey
I’m lowering my evaluation because of the extremely invasive ads. Most recently an ad for a Florida city literally took over my iPhone and, even though my iPhone volume was muted, blasted the audio at maximum volume. I could not stop or control or turn off the ad. I had to close the Mobility application and then, change settings on my phone. I was embarrassed and I’m thinking about finding another solitaire brand.
(Previous evaluation: Without question, this is the best iPhone compatible Solitaire Card Game out there. Quality of art, ease of playing, customization of presentation and operation, simplicity of controls. There are many Solitaires for iPhone. Mobility outperforms them all.) We shall see how responsive Mobility is on governance of its advertising. Many recent evaluations have turned negative because of the obnoxious, invasive ads. But there has been nothing, NOTHING, done to correct this. Clearly, Mobility is a go to place to advertise one’s products, but I should think not at the cost of annoying the target audience.

Status Issues
App loses status throughout the day. You can play in the morning and get your first win of the day, then, play later that same day, win a game, and comes up as your first win of the day, even though you had won that earlier the same day.
Have even had the app act as though you had not played the previous day, even though you won multiple deals the day before. App needs to research what is happening.

Great game BUT The ads
Sometime 6 - 8 clicks that keep returning you to the store before getting you back to the game.
That’s so ridiculous
That’s so ridiculous
Great game, but why the ai??
Love the gameplay but the AI ads are just awful. Why waste clean drinking water to create a video you could easily film yourself? As an artist it’s a bit disheartening to see so many companies switch to this soulless slop just to avoid paying artists. I’m literally watching my dream career crumble in front of me because no one seems to care about genuine art. Love the winning animations though, human made I think!!
Ads
To many interruptions from ads to enjoy the game
Recently crashing - poor tech response
Never had crashes until the past coupla weeks - April 2026. I contacted chat support a week ago, followed their instructions, and they did not followup as they said they would. Then I submitted a new report through the app. Followed their instructions, that did not help, and again they said they would followup. Nada. I am ready to cancel my annual subscription. 😠
Adds are way too long and it’s difficult to get through them! We will not pay for solitaire!
Great game...don't like the ads! But Getting more frequent and hate the double adds😁
Fix the freezing!
I’ve had this app so long I can’t even remember when I first installed it. I’m used to the ads, no biggie, but now ads with the constant freezing every 5-10 seconds is getting unbearable. Please fix this.
Love game, not glitches
This is a great solitaire game with a lot of ads…but I expected that for free. Unfortunately, every 4 games or so the ad freezes, and I need to stop playing for a while. Beyond annoying!
