Idol
They put God in the category of idol. I am uninstalling this game.
Ads 👎🏼
You say ad free? That’s a lie!!
Is a developer lying about no ads allowed?
This developer's own ads inserted into other games, SPECIFICALLY lists no ads as a feature. Liars. You have to pay $9.99 to get no ad experience, except ads for rewards. Then why the misrepresentation? Just say that the free version has ads. Other games also LIE in their own advertisements, and I then delete their games. This is just the latest, and I've just deleted this. Any game that puts ads in other games that says no ads in their app, and is lying, should be reported as misrepresenting their product.
Misleading
Ridiculous commercials that are broken and I paid extra for no commercials and advertisements and I’m still getting them. Please fix this and I will change the rating.
Toooooo many ads!!!
I understand that a “free” game requires ads for sponsorship, but five games in and every single hand it’s an ad no thank you
Solitaire shouldn’t have a turn counter
Genuinely. Solitaire is a game about managing your card bays and sorting carefully. You might actually win if you’re smart. Too bad you’ll run out of moves on your last card, and have to watch an ad to restart.
This isn’t me complaining because I’m “not a good solitaire player” these turn limits are genuinely frustrating and honestly, what game dev thought “oh that’s the perfect time to shove an ad in their face, when they lost not due to skill but because we put a move timer on and they almost had it.” What absolute garbage. Don’t download this because just like everything else on this forsaken App Store it’s nothing but bloated adware.

Disappointed.
I enjoyed this game until I saw how negative they are towards God and how pro Muslim they are. They put God under an idol heading. That was my final straw. I am now deleting the game. I don’t need mind control from a stupid game.
Too many ads
Fun but ad after every game
Wtf
I was enjoying a game and then was forced to update…. In the middle of playing. This is not the same game, starting on level one… really sucks.
Ads ads ads
I get trying toto monetize a game, but I spend more time watching ads than playing. $10USD is steep to remove them. $4 would be the sweet spot.
Fake
Has ads and timers
It lied
Said no adds but it does.
Bad Update, Money Grab
I’ve been playing this game for awhile now and the last couple of updates are bad, and clearly a money grab. I like to play the themed puzzles (right now it’s the Pyramids) and they’ve labeled most levels as “hard”. They should be renamed to “impossible,” as I’ve replayed some levels 10x with no way to solve them unless you use their “magic” option, forcing you to watch one of their ads to pass the level. Or, of course, you can pay to bypass them.
I admit I spend too much money on my games but I refuse to pay to pass a level that’d impossible to pass without paying or being subjected to an ad. Even if that was the case, you could excuse a level or two here and there, I get that they need to make money. Now it’s almost every level. They’re not even trying to hide the con.
The categories are repeated so often you can get the same category in the next round, it’s that bad. And some categories make no sense.
This once fun game went to junk. Don’t bother.

No Ads?
Why am I seeing ads?
Works fine for a while
After a while it says there are no more moves, so you have to watch the ad to continue. Sometimes that is only one time in that game and others it takes two or three times. It is too much hassle, so I am deleting it. .
Ad from hell
An accidental bump of Magic results in two to four minute ad that will not go away. Are you that greedy???
Frozen
Was really enjoying it until it froze on level 7 of the castle puzzle.
Tired of the LYING ads
I don’t mind watching ads for game play, but this game has too many for the “gelatin” diet THAT DOESN’T WORK, and is attributed to an assortment of celebrities who have publicly said what they have used to lose weight.
Uses ai
The use of ai ruins the experience and is very unoriginal not only that ai is bad for the environment which makes this game unethical
Still getting ads
I paid the $9.99 for no ads. I am still getting ads. What a rip-off. I tried to get help, and the app what let me send the email. I’m soooo frustrated.
Ads!
My second attempt at finding a word solitaire game. I’ll tolerate ads before and after a game, but the moment ads show up in the middle of a hand, I’m OUT! Deleting now.
Ads Ads Ads
Repeating adds for every minute played at least same amount in ads
Lied
Your ad sold me on this game because it said “no ads.” I spend twice as much time sitting through ads as I do playing the game!
Titles
For me, a lot of the cards don’t make sense. Trying to match certain cards to either the regular cards of the Title cards are so vague I hv to “guess” as to where they go.
Don’t fall for it
Starts out great, fun games, reasonable ads, interesting play, then it appears to use AI to gauge your play, words in bizarre categories, ads increase in frequency and length, game play ceases to be doable and requires watching ads to continue.
Said no ads
Too many ad stops.
Why do you lie?
This has ads…even though you claim it doesn’t!!!
Same setup repeated
Really wanted to like this game as it is one of very few word solitaire games with no move counter and no limit on undos. Unfortunately it becomes the exact same setup every time just with different words. I already know how to quickly win each match even on hard because it’s the same setup. Not a challenge anymore.
Too many ads
Very annoying to have a minute ad after each game.
No ads? Lie!
This game is advertised in other games as having no ads and no move limit. The bane of casual game existence. While the move limits don’t appear to be a thing, the ads showed up after game three. Banner ads during a game, fine. Uncloseable ads for a minute between plays, uninstall.
Horrible update
Your new update puts an ad bar right across the top of the game so you can’t read the categories or moves left!
Suspect
The game kept trying to open web pages that my phone kept blocking as malicious. I deleted the app and the threats to my phone stopped.
Unwinable - almost all luck.
I liked this game enough to purchase the ad-free option. It was not cheap. I'm on lvl 27 of the Nepal Event. There is no strategy involved. It's all luck - the way the cards fall. I think the only way to win is to watch an ad. If I wanted to watch ads, I wouldn't have spent the money to be ad-free. I'm also finding the most difficult daily puzzles to be unwinable.
I love word games and have more than my fair share. I'm pretty good at them. But this app is just a waste of time.

Ehhh
Some pictures are not clear. Some bizarre categories. Need a dictionary close by.
Is it too much to ask, to tap a card & have it go to its appointed pile?
The way this game is now…it’s good for no one & nothing. Far too babyish.
MSBAKER
Too many ridiculously long ads!
Too many ads
Was advertised as being “relaxing” and ad free. Just another scam
