Solitaire Associations Journey Positive Reviews
Love it!!!! Addictive!!!!This game is hella fun and addictive. I didn’t like the ads but loved the game so much that I paid for them to go away. I never do that! I play all the time and it gets harder as you go so it never gets boring. The games go in a cycle. They start off with just a few slots and suits and fairly simple and as you pass them they get more challenging until you get to one with lots of suits and about 5 slots that is really challenging and will definitely take you a few tries to pass it. I am a person who can play a game until I get bored with it and then I’ll delete the game from my phone. This is the longest lasting game I’ve had on my phone. I do see some people complaining about you have to spend big money to play this game. I’ve only spent the amount it took me to get the ads taken off because I don’t like ads. I haven’t spent another dime on this game. If I get to the end and I run out of chances, I just start over again until I get it. It’s challenging. That’s what it’s meant to be. If it was too easy, you'd get bored with it and delete it. You do not have to spend a lot of money to play this game. Also, when you pay to have the ads taken out and you want more turns after you’ve run, out of turns, it’ll give you the choice to watch an ad to get more turns..Taina7124Version: 1.10.1
Nice twist on classic gameI enjoy logic games and word games, and this is a nice combination of both. I needed to set a time limit on this app because I noticed that I kept losing track of time - often telling myself, “This is the last board,” but moving to the next without a thought. 😊 One of the things that I enjoy is being introduced to or reminded of new/different words… For example, I’m sure I learned the names of meteors and moons at some point, but I can confidently list them again after being repeatedly exposed to them!
I recently passed level 400 on my phone and was pleased to discover a nice challenge (earn keys to get extra coins). After learning NOT to spend coins because it took so long to amass 900 for one “undo,” this was a nice addition. … I happened to play on my iPad last night - at level 8 - and noticed that the challenge offer wasn’t there. Maybe one has to achieve advanced levels of play before the offer is made, which is fine by me.
The only TINY critique is the frequency of the ads… one is met with an ad upon completion of the first category, whether that be 3 cards or 8 cards. From a psychological standpoint, associating the completion of a category with an ad prompt might be considered a negative reinforcement 😉 (not wanting to complete the task in fear of the consequence). On the other hand, I appreciate being able to anticipate the ads, both in timing AND with the “Ad Break” banner. I understand that ads are necessary to make the game accessible to everyone, so my critique is superficial and subjective… I think it’s a great game and just realized that I don’t think I’ve ever been asked to pay for the game (which I also appreciate)…I might seek out that option as a more explicit way of supporting the creators..Selah54935Version: 1.4.3
Was once fun…When I first downloaded this game, it was a simple- no bells or whistles- a game of matching solitaire. It was fun to fly through the levels, and I could look past the ads because the gameplay was worth it. Now, especially with this most recent “update”, I can say with certainty that that game is no longer fun. The first reason why is a personal preference: I dislike the lock and key feature, and the racing corgi mini-feature is ignorable. I find the lock and key aspect to be incredibly frustrating and would much prefer it not to be there. Now, the real reason the game has become nigh unplayable to me is the slowness. A few “updates” ago I was able to use the app with no issue. When I selected a card, it would respond immediately. Now there’s a terrible lag! I don’t know enough about coding and game development to say for certain that it’s all the additional features on the app, but the app worked just fine before they were added on. I can’t complete a single level without my phone overheating in my hands and the game slowing to a snail’s pace. It’s ridiculous, and I’m about to delete the app!
And while I’m on a rant, I’d like to complain about some of the ads on this app. A short while ago I got an ad for a reading app (Galatea or some other). I enjoy reading badly written material for kicks and usually read these ads through. However, I was appalled at the content of some of these reading app ads. There was suggestive and sexual content, and I’m fairly sure that THIS app is friendly for all ages, and I’m worried that minors could potentially be exposed to this inappropriate content. Please look into this.
Thank you..SamalamabambamVersion: 1.11.0
Almost ThereGreat game. It’s a mindless game to fiddle with while watching tv, falling asleep, or for that break in the day to reset. Effortless engagement - can be repetitive and a certain level of luck is required, but repeating a level is no big deal. Honestly it makes it more engaging because it encourages you to refine your strategies to reduce moves and remember associations kind of like those memory card games. I don’t get the other reviews complaining about it being a cash grab to progress - I think they miss the point of the game… it would be incredulously boring to expect to win a level on the first or even second try. Go play another game if that’s your expectation. Just like solitaire, how the cards are dealt (luck) and strategy are involved.
One note - and why it isn’t 5 stars … I do appreciate the shorter than average ads, but I think the $9.99 opt out of ads is kind of outrageous. It’s just not that type of game. I’d go as high as $4.99, but expecting more (I’d imagine) would get a lot less people to go for it, especially considering most people are aware they’ll only be into a game so long before moving on to a new one. But who knows, I’m sure you’ve done an analysis on the cross section of when does the price of opting out produce less revenue than the amount of users sticking around to generate revenue from watching ads. If not, hopefully you guys look into that (and determine it’s a lower threshold than it is currently) before I lose interest in the app lol. This is one game I actually bothered considering…. Until I saw the price. And good enough game that I actually wrote a review… which is just something I do. So it’s a good game! Well done..A Oh KVersion: 1.0.0
Great game !"Solitaire Association" isn't just another version of the classic card game; it's a fresh and engaging twist that breathes new life into a timeless favorite. From the moment you launch the game, you're greeted with a sleek, intuitive interface and a calming aesthetic that makes it a joy to play for hours on end. The variety of game modes keeps things interesting, whether you're in the mood for a quick round or a more strategic challenge.
What truly sets "Solitaire Association" apart is its innovative approach to gameplay. The addition of unique power-ups and special cards adds an element of surprise and strategy that I haven't found in other solitaire games. These features not only enhance the fun but also provide new ways to approach each hand, making every game feel fresh and exciting.
Beyond the core gameplay, the attention to detail is evident throughout. The smooth animations, satisfying sound effects, and customizable themes all contribute to a polished and immersive experience. Regular updates introduce new challenges and content, ensuring that there's always something new to discover. "Solitaire Association" is a must-have for any solitaire fan and a standout title in the mobile gaming landscape. Five stars all the way!.Janiyah'leesVersion: 1.0.0
Too many adsThe only reason I’m giving this 5 stars is so it’s seen.
It’s a good game but the developers have ruined the game with all the ads. They claim it’s to pay to keep the game up and running. Please it’s just not worth watching and hour of ads to play a 10 minute game.
I’ve written reviews about all the ads but it doesn’t matter to them, it’s all about the money, they’re getting rich because we have to sit through ad after ad, it’s just not worth it!!! Do yourself a favor don’t waste your time with this game unless you like spending your time watching ads. Some of these ads are 2 minute long a lot of them no matter how many times you click the X they just take you to their download page, others like temu every time you click the X it takes you to their website which is known for pishing, then there is google ypu sit through a 2 minute ad and still have to click through another 4 or 5 pages to get back to the game!!!!
It gotten so ridiculous these ads and the game makers they’ll take the ads away for $9.99 a month. I see the next class action law suit being against the App Store, Google play the others for not controlling the ads and fake cash games..TjmorVersion: 1.6.0
Challenging but GOODI rated my review five stars because this game is like no other game out there. In the ad at first I thought it would be just normal solitaire, but then when I started playing it I realized it is a whole different experience. You get to match the cards to the master cards, or so I call it, and you only get a number of tries before you have to restart, watch an ad for ten more tries, or pay coins to get more tries, I don’t know how many tries you get from paying coins lol. It’s a really good game and you should get it, but if you are having trouble deciding PLEASE READ THIS. I am a very smart girl and I don’t have trouble learning a lot of things, but at level five it started getting tricky for me. And then at level seven I did it in 27 tries! I think the levels are unbalanced, level eight is harder than level fifteen. Lastly, the ads are insane one time I got an “ad break” after my first try. Anyway if you like a challenge and matching cards this is a great game for you. XOXO, Travelpanda2127! Have a great day!.Travelpanda2127Version: 1.3.0
It’s okay — some issues though.The overall gameplay is quite fun and challenging. If you know the stuff that the game prompts, then it actually becomes fun and engaging. But when you don’t know the prompt, the game becomes difficult. I understand a quick Google search can help you understand what the theme is talking about but I feel like if you need to go outside the game in order to find an answer then the prompt shouldn’t be there in the first place. say you get a theme of cats and you don’t know a lot of cat breeds and so you’re forced to shuffle through cards with words related to cats that you may not know and then you have to go back and add them and then you just lose a bunch of turns. maybe adding a definition for what the word or theme is trying to convey that players can access
Would help. I’d also like to mention there are a lot of ads. One thing that bugs me is the “ad breaks” that literally do nothing for the game except take away your attention and causes the player to sit through something and get bored instead of actually playing the game. However, I do understand that this game is free and they need to make money somehow so maybe instead of just having weird ad breaks you could have a system where in order to get hints you have to watch an ad..Sillygoose1345Version: 1.6.1
Good but ads make me so annoyedThis game is fun I like solitaire but having the word association makes it more fun to play. The ads though? Very annoying. I understand having an ad after you finish a level or getting extra stuff or moves through ads but in the middle of the level? Absolutely so annoying. I would’ve deleted this app so long ago if I didn’t actually like playing it. There should never be ads randomly in the middle of the level. I know you need to monetize the game and making the ads annoying can encourage people to pay for ad free options but you lose more players by doing this. Even if the ad in the middle is very short it still takes away from playing the game. Also this one app shows me the same 3-5 apps constantly. Back to back. This may not be something developers control but it makes it even more annoying. I’m not even seeing anything new just the same 15-30 seconds of the exact same thing. A lot of them are AI too and it bothers me to no end! Extremely unhappy with the ad frequency. Once I lose interest in this game there will be no reason to come back and try it because the ads are unbearable unless you genuinely like and want to keep playing..Sifi1003Version: 1.4.3
Solitaire Associations JourneyI love this game. I’m a words person and it’s just challenging enough, but not so hard that it makes you not want to play. There are two things that I don’t like about it. First, I don’t mind watching an ad after each game, as each game does take some time to play, however, I feel like two minute ads are way too long. I find myself not wanting to play anymore when they are that long, or I start to doze off, of boredom. Secondly, this goes hand in hand with the first one, but also, slightly different; you don’t know every move that you’re going to have to make, obviously, as you don’t know what’s coming in what order, so I feel like there should be enough moves added, to where you can finish the game by going through the deck, at least two times. I like that you get a chance to watch an ad to add moves to finish, but again, you only get 10 moves and a two minute ads for 10 moves is just way too long. Shorten the ads, and add more moves, then put an ad between games, or only make the ads 30 seconds long, if we are going to have to watch two to four ads per game. As much as I love it, the long ads, make me not want to play more than one round..AVale80Version: 1.1.1
Move Limits Dampen ExperienceA fun, casual distraction, just like solitaire.
The limit on the number of moves is sometimes problematic. If there are only a few categories you’ll often end up finishing early. However, if there are six or seven categories, even if you get a good shuffle, you’ll often end up not having enough moves to complete the level. This means you’ll either have to start over or watch ads to get a few more moves.
Because the game can already end when all possible moves have been made, just like in solitaire, it seems like that should be the single end point; not running out of moves. It’s frustrating to run out of moves when you only need to make one more, and having to sit through ads just to finish. It’s even more frustrating having to start over multiple times because you realize that the cards are so shuffled that you won’t have enough moves. There have been times where I’ve known where every card goes and I have to pray that the cards are in a decent order, and times that I’ve started over early because it’s clear that they’re not..Institute1986Version: 1.3.0
Ads are excessiveVery fun game but I can’t imagine playing it for much longer. The ads are ridiculous, they’re in every part of the game and interrupt your gameplay several times while also being at the bottom of the screen while you’re playing. It just doesn’t make sense to have that many ads.
I’ve seen several people mention this issue and all the developer response can say is that it’s what makes the game free and accessible to everyone. I would understand that but I’ve played other free games that don’t have the excessive amount of ads this does. Ads make sense for after rounds, to get extra moves, and on the bottom of the screen. While they’re annoying they’re not as bad as the continuous interruptions to your gameplay. Those ads make a really fun game a lot less attractive to your customers.
This game would probably be 5 stars if it wasn’t for the excessive amount of ads. I would rather not get a developer response if its going to regurgitate the “ads make it accessible” excuse. And yes I’m sure I could pay to remove them if I really wanted but then the game is not “free” or very “accessible”.Aph3liumVersion: 1.14.0
Level 2,147I just want to start off by saying I absolutely love this app. There are tons of copy cats out there, except the rest seem to be geared towards small children, the words/categories are way too easy. This is the only one that I’ve found that is actually challenging. I just have a question for the devs..do the levels stop being new at level 2,147? Because the levels have started repeating for me. Not like similar words, I mean the exact same words/categories, and even the cards are dealt in the exact same order. I’m not trying to gripe, just trying to find out if there aren’t any new levels or not. Because I love the game so much, if that IS the case, I will just delete it and redownload it, play it over again. But if there are going to be new levels added in the future, I wouldn’t want to do that. If you could let me know, that’d be awesome. Either way, thanks so much for making such an amazing app!.AlliexxMarieVersion: 1.12.0
The move count though…I absolutely love this game, challenges your brain to think outside the box as far as the possible categories a word can fall under. I like the idea in someone else’s review, for a definition icon in order to build vocabulary but more so to help figure out which category the word may fall under. Some of the words are hard.
My biggest pet peeve is the move count, it needs a revamp or removed all together and just let people play relaxed, you already get a bunch of ads in as it is, and I’m okay with that. For the move count, If I have no more options to play I have no choice but to flip a card. A move should be counted as a card flip and then “moving” a card. It becomes frustrating when you’re towards the end of a round and everything is starting to fall into place; the locked deck level I just finished and needed to watch 5 ads pretty much back to back in order to finish placing all the cards in the deck that were backed up bc of the cards were locked. It makes me not want to play this game sometimes..Wit_a_yVersion: 1.9.0
Ads far too intrusive.Understanding that this is an ad-supported app, the advertising has become far too intrusive. Ads should NOT play sounds, ever. Nor should it take more than one tap to dismiss ads. And certainly, no ad ever should open my browser. Work with your advertising partners to knock off the sounds and the poorly placed exit buttons. Worst offenders: Kalshi, the various scammy casino games, and for some reason Experian. Games that play sounds get reported when that feature is available.
That said…game itself is fine. Some improvements could be made curating the categories. For example, if two of the categories are “Africa” and “Capitals”, one of the cards should not be “Algiers”. And if the game is going to insist on play streaks to gain rewards, then definitely do not throw up levels where, even if played perfectly, cannot be won in the number of moves specified. At that, going through the draw pile should not cost “moves”. This is particularly annoy at the endgame when, for example, only two moves are available, two cards are left to play, but they’re both left in the draw pile..AwulfclarkVersion: 1.6.3
Fun with user interface issuesThis game has been pretty fun. I definitely enjoy the challenge if figuring out how certain words go together. Sometimes I learn something or am amused by unexpected associates. There are a few things they could improve on though:
When the game has been minimized and pulled back up, an ad plays before users can start a game. That's a bit irritating.
The restart mechanic is extremely unpleasant to use. When you need to restart a game, you have to assert that yes you absolutely want to restart about 5 times before it lets you! And then you usually have to watch an ad, which is a frustrating time to watch an ad. Final irritation for the restart mechanic: the button color changes in a misleading way. When you click restart, the button is green. When the confirm windows come up, the confirm botton is white and the continue button is green. Because of color association, I always click continue by mistake since it is the same color as the restart button was in the prior window and then I have to open the restart dialogue again..Sai the Pokemon personVersion: 1.14.0
Don’t switch my audio for ads!!!I honestly love this game and I don’t have anything negative to say about the gameplay or its content.
I understand the need for ads in order to keep the game free - in fine with that. But stop shutting off what I’m listening to to force me to listen to the stupid sounds in the ads!! Most of the time the audio in the ads add nothing and just irritate me. I’m often listening to music or an audiobook while playing this game, and it drives me insane that the ads interrupt what I’m listening to - then I have to leave the game to switch what I was listening to back on.
Just please make the audio on the ads optional. If im forced to go through so many ads, dont mess with what im listening to. Please.
Edit because whoever responded from the company can’t read: I know the ads are necessary for free gameplay. But you have the ability to make the audio optional - it used to be optional and now it changes what I’m listening to and THAT is my complaint, not the fact that the ads exist..BC.LeeKnow.CBVersion: 1.7.0
Why the new “lives”?I loved this game and have paid for no ads because I rarely find games like this one that are simple but really keep you coming back. I play this game every night, so of course I’ve noticed the updates and changes to make the game more competitive and complex. Sure, these additions are fine, but nobody really asked for them. Heres where I get to my biggest grievance. Why add the “5 lives/hearts” feature? It actively restricts me from playing the game and now I feel like the entire concept of being able to endlessly play the game is gone. Unfortunately, until this changes you’ve lost a customer because I cannot see how anyone benefits from this changes except for the company. Why insert a competitive aspect into a game that not only doesn’t need it, but was also very popular before the change-this is the number one game in world as of today, so why feel the need to add this feature unless to get more money? I’m confident I’m not the only customer annoyed by this..Calypso026Version: 1.10.1
Fun Gameplay Overshadowed by Excessive AdsI understand the game is designed to be free, and I appreciate that. I’m also at level 231, so I am not a new player. However, the constant ads popping up roughly every 5 minutes, really breaks the flow of the game.
Many of the later level feel nearly impossible to beat without spending coins on extra moves or jokers. If you choose not to use coins, you’re met with more ads. One level required 60 additional moves beyond that original 100+, in addition 3 jokers, that was while using the most optimal path. It was also 3 jokers on the screen at the same time. I have been stuck on another level for two days. Already tried 40 extra moves and 3 jokers and still unable to pass it.
It feels like the new mechanics are being added specifically to push players toward using extra moves/jokers to watch more ads and to start spending real world money.
If enjoy spending money on games and watching ads, you will love the later levels of this game. Unfortunately, it’s no longer enjoyable for me..Ad Overload in gameVersion: 1.14.0
My FAVORITE Game!To the developers: Thank you for the upgrade and option to remove ads and purchase some hints more moves, or watch ads voluntarily for more moves. It is a great upgrade. PLEASE CREATE MORE LEVELS! I have maxed out all the levels 2x and want more!! Also the option to go back and replay previous levels that you’ve already done would be nice especially when you’re at the max like I am.
To the new user: This is the BEST game! It’s completely unique. It is challenging, engaging, and a great deal. There are unlimited lives and chances to try levels until you can finally beat it (please Don’t change that developers, it’s one of your best features!) The associations for the categories aren’t always obvious but with trial and error you eventually begin to see the patterns and build the stacks. This game is so addicting and the one time fee to remove ads is so worth it. Definitely worth the download!.JoLovesKyleVersion: 0.1.72
Could Be EnjoyableGame could be fun but you’re watching the same 2/3 ads more than you are playing the actual game. You get so many moves to complete the game which is weird because every card you move is a move. You turn a card over from deck thats a move, you bring the card down to game thats a move, you undo the move yep thats a move, you move a card to a different column thats a move. Once you run out of moves you can get 10 more moves but first an ad, each time you get 10 more cards there’s an ad. When you get the moves but you have a stack of cards waiting to be play on header cards each card is a move. I counted one game how many moves it took to get 1 card to main card stack between 8-12 moves. Oh can’t forget if you play more than 6 plays you get an ad break and the same ad again. I would actually pay for no ads on this game and they need to adjust move count. I would consider coming back to play, but way too many of the same ad so I won’t be playing for awhile..Lacey6ftVersion: 0.1.60
Great Game for Word LoversI love this game! It's not for children. It's not for fools. I know more words than most people, but there are plenty I have to look up in this game. Even without the jargon and minutiae, the game is challenging because you never know the association to the category until you've been through a number of choices. Some are a bit indirect, as well. Plus, there's the whole strategy element, of which card to play where and when, to sort out the whole deck. This is much more challenging, and far less random, than regular Canfield pack of four suits of 52 cards. Sometimes frustrating, occasionally tedious (Imagine! A solitaire game with homework!), but so satisfying in the end. And there's the frisson of delight when a category is in one's own bailiwick, and the obscure jargon are the beloved details of your life..LopearVersion: 1.6.0
It’s Fun and ChallengingThis is an updated review. I previously had some complaints about the counting of moves, but I was quite mistaken about my interpretation of the game play. I was wrong, and therefore, I want to update and edit my review. The game is fun, and challenging. It has become a game that I play often. I appreciate that the developers reached out to me after my initial review to explain the process. That shows that they do actually read reviews, and they took the time to explain to me my error. I had also complained about the ads, but I’ve gotten used to them popping up a lot. The ONLY issue I have is the TYPE of ads that pop up sometimes! I find SOME of them so inappropriate (sexually suggestive), or else visually disgusting (pulling worms, pus, or other disgusting things out of someone’s pimples, etc.). I try to click out of those particular ads quickly, however, I would prefer not to be forced to watch those ads at all!!.Dawnn510Version: 1.3.0
I’ll look for a better version.I love the concept of word associations instead of the typical card suits. What killed it for me was the limited moves, had I realized it before I wouldn’t have bothered downloading. IMO games that use this don’t do it to make it more challenging, it’s just another money grab. Like this one, if you run out of moves the game isn’t over. You can simply buy more moves or watch ads! Which brings me to the last thing that ruined the game for me, ads. They wait until your a few games in before starting the barrage. I have a few games I play daily that have the forced ad break but they don’t bother me. Those games have only one per game & at most are only 15 seconds long, no big deal. But this solitaire game has multiple ad “breaks” during each game & are over a minute long! Add that into all the others & the game is quickly overrun by long ads. I still love the concept so I’m hoping to find another app like it but just executed better. Just my humble opinion..Jeanett_JVersion: 1.1.0
Fun but the ads are crazyThis is a really fun game. It makes you think and is highly enjoyable. I understand the game is free, and for $9.99 I can get an ad free version, however, an ad after every level is a bit excessive. I think that will drive people away that either can not or will not pay for the ad free version. Since there are things you can buy in the game to help with the costs, to me this many ads is too much, and makes the game more frustrating then fun.
I do not think the developer actually reads the reviews. Responses to complaints about the ads get the same auto response. Ads are fine, it’s the frequency that needs to be adjusted. Not everyone can afford to pay for the ad free game, but those people might have friends that can if they recommend the game. Will they with the frequency of the ads is the question the developer should be asking themselves..Pooh18astVersion: 1.10.1
Loved it at first....But once I played the same level well over 15 times and still haven't gotten past it due to having no room and no option to move stuff around, I've chosen to let this app go. Has a lot of potential, I just wish there was an extra spot or you're able to put things under the golden ones while mixed in the deck (that's the biggest issue - it completely cancels out that column so you can't use it)
(Adding a new comment - I really hope y'all read this) I decided to redownload to try it out again. I've restarted this level over 15+ times (not exaggerating) due to being unable to move the gold ones around, or to just set something in another column for one turn. I almost had it done, but one thing prevented me. We need to be able to put things under the gold ones when they're in the deck (not the main 4 at the top, mixed in) PLEASE fix this and my review would go to a 5 star without a doubt..QueenfischbachVersion: 0.1.60

Great adsNothing better than constant ads, some of which never end. hottip: the moment an ad pops up, close the game and reopen, save yourself some time.Another garbo appVersion: 1.6.0
Only one issue…Is there anyways to go ad free? I understand ads in between levels but the constant interruptions during game play is so intrusive. I don’t see anywhere on the game where I can stop adds or upgrade to ad free. Other than that I love the game, but that is a BIG deterrent that limits how long I want to spend playing it..BeeLooPieVersion: 1.1.1
Card unlock levelsI got addicted to this game. I suffer through watching the many ads. I’m now on level 83 where they introduce the cards with a lock on them that you can’t use until you get the card with a key on it. It is impossible to beat with the amount of moves given. Most times I’ve tried to beat it you run out of options before you run out of moves. I’m wondering if anyone has made it past this point I’m so confused. There has been levels I’ve had to play multiple times before beating but this truly seems impossible unless the cards get dealt perfectly.Angelwinnie666Version: 1.8.0
Disgusting money grabThis game is the absolute worst. the idea behind it is so fun but it's such a money grab because once you get to level 3 you physically cannot complete the levels without watching ads to get more moves, and they're all over a minute long. i don't care if you 'need them to be free', just make your game not rigged the very freaking least..Jkd:)(Version: 1.3.0

Short ads can still be effectiveIt’s an interesting game but the adds are too long so I don’t bother to play much. Additionally, it demands too much currency for 10 moves and currency generation is slow - eg. You get 50 coins for completing one game but need to pay 1500 coins for an extra 10 moves or watch a 90 second. It’s 1200 coins for an assist. Finally, I appreciate that the developers need income but people are likely to put the phone assign for an overly long ad, rendering the advertising value for the advertiser ineffective..Sapphire7648Version: 1.6.1

Used to be amazingThis game used to be so fun to play. I enjoyed it because it didn’t push you to buy anything and you got a good amount of coins and the ads are long but it was worth it. But here we are now. They’ve made it harder. Now you have locked cards. And lives. It will take you up to 6-10 tries to finish a game because you can’t get to the keys. And that uses all your lives up and you have to use 300 coins for each life unless you want to wait 30 minutes for 1 life. And you hardly get any coins when you complete a game so, you guessed it, they want you to buy coins. Every game starts fun until they begin to get greedy and start rolling out updates and making what used to be a great game that you could play and relax on into something that is no longer unique and all about making more money. It’s so exhausting. So, I’m deleting this game because it’s no longer the fun relaxing game. It’s now designed to make you spend money or wait forever for a life. They never should’ve added the lives on there. And you shouldn’t have to use all of the lives to for one game because the cards don’t fall to anything you have you have on the board and to unlock a deck. It’s not worth it anymore. They aren’t listening that the last update has ruined it for many of their dedicated players and the adding the lives is a dealbreaker. They are losing customers now. Don’t update and try to improve things that aren’t broken to make it harder for your customers. And we don’t want to watch long ads for ONE life or ONE move. It’s not worth it..Priscillat78Version: 1.11.0
Unplayable ad-riddled garbageNo surprise. I caved to an ad to download this! I admittedly thought it looked interesting enough. But I know what to expect with basically 99% of the games on the App Store. It’s simple enough at first. Painfully simple, to the point where the tutorial in the beginning is just completely pointless but it holds your hand anyway. Few levels in I’m forced to watch ads after each game. Go figure, that’s only to be expected. But once you get to level 10 literally it becomes unplayable. You can’t even get past all of it without*shocker* having either to watch MORE ads, to add moves. Or restart and watch ads anyway. And I know they probably don’t have much input on the ads shown, but I think that the frequency of them could count as actual psychological torture, and I’m not being hyperbolic. The game itself… nothing wrong with it. It’s just so mediocre that it’s not even worth sitting through hundreds of ads just to complete a level. It’s just another cynical piece of slop in an oversaturated marketplace of oversaturated slop, rendered nearly unplayable by ads. But no that’s completely okay, because they HAVE to make money right?
Sorry to the people who actually did the work on this. I have no idea what kind of money the programmers and artists make, but I doubt it’s that much. But also their work is rendered in vain just because an ad is slipped in every 30 seconds. Don’t give them the company ad revenue. It’s not worth it..@nonom0us7754Version: 1.4.3
Was relaxing; not nowWhen I first got this game, the ads annoyed me, so I paid to get the ad free experience. This was my “go to app” anytime I wanted to just relax while waiting. Without the ads, it was a great experience. Then the app developers forced an update that now included a feature that cannot be turned off. This idea of locked cards with keys being hidden unless you are lucky enough to get the stack dealt right so you stood a chance. It was challenging enough when there were 5 categories at the top. Add in the locks, and it is just pure frustration. I sent a note to support with details. The wrote back and confirmed that this new feature of the game could not be skipped or turned off. They said they would share with the development team. I waited before posting this review. I just downloaded the newest version to find nothing changed. This game used to be relaxing like they post in their description. That was then. Now it is not. I wish they had provided an option so those of us who wanted the relaxing game described could still have it while providing more challenging play for those who wanted that. They didn’t do that, so now they lost a customer. I will delete this game and avoid all games by this company in the future. I posted this review to hopefully save others the frustration I had, and maybe save them from spending money to remove annoying ads only to find the gameplay is also annoying now..Justsomeguy2Version: 1.14.0
Awful gameI HATE this game. It’s awful. You hardly ever get any coins at all. You run out of moves and are only given 10 extra moves when you watch ads but the problem is they give you a limited amount of times you can watch an ad to get more extra moves and with just 10 moves per ad, it’s not always enough to be able to get all the cards. You’re only allowed to use the joker once per level if you run out of possible combinations and if you get stuck again after using the joker, you’re screwed and have to restart. I’ve been stuck on a stupid level for the longest because I just keep getting cards that don’t match at all and the cards I actually need are buried under other cards that I can’t move until I clear the main ones. I got fed up being stuck in that same level having to restart it over and over again because if you wanna buy extra moves, it costs freaking 800 coins. I only had 500 because you only earn very little amount of coins so the amount you have increases super slowly. I don’t wanna play a game that irritates and frustrates me. I wanted a relaxing game and the game was fun at first until it got impossible to beat levels without coins for extra moves or using the joker. Being able to use the joker only once is awful. Also, they used to give 3 undo chances when you watched an ad. Now they took that away and only give you one. I’m tired of this greedy game and have deleted it from my iPad..Slytherin LennonVersion: 0.1.62
Great actual concept but the amount of moves is terrible executionI love this game don’t get me wrong i even paid to get rid of ads but i still have to watch ads to get 10 more moves when im only a few moves away. 10 dollars to remove ads should remove it for the add more moves as well or take away the move amount in general. It honestly makes it unplayable for the ads are to annoying even though i PAID $10 for the no ads. I wish i could get a refund because it literally didn’t make any difference. And 1500 coins for 10 more moves is outrageous. 50 coins per completed level takes you 30 levels to just pay for one thing of 10 moves? Or you could spend a bunch of money on what should be a free old Microsoft like game from good old days, to buy more coins. So in summary $10 for “no” ads but ads are still required because the moves are either just enough for a perfect game or not enough at all, then complete levels to only get 50 coins then if you want to pay with in game coins for more moves you need 1500. Oh you dont have 1500? so you have to buy those coins with real money to get 10 more measly moves or watch ads you already paid to get rid of. Worst buy of the 21st century so far on my part tbh. So until they remove the move count, get rid of ads all together or both I’ll be deleting this game..Kick_start56Version: 1.4.3
Used to be great, now ruined!I’ve been playing this game daily for a while and loved it BUT the ruined it this week. Players should be warned that there are never enough chances to finish a round so you have to watch ads for another 10 plays (to attempt to finish a round). That got annoying because it would take roughly 10-20 ads to actually finish a round. But ok, the developer deserves to earn their money. But NOW they have removed that option and if you don’t have enough turns (which you NEVER do!) you have to PURCHASE a paid pack if you want to finish a round or watch an ad to start over from scratch. After trying to get through a round literally 10 times (and I’m really good at this game!) and having to start from scratch 10 times I’m over this game and will likely delete it and never play it again. Really stupid move on the behalf of the developers. All of that afford revenue they WERE getting from me every single day will be gone because they want to force a purchase. That is my line in the sand. Ad revenue is acceptable. Forcing a purchase to get through a round after 10 tries and this becomes a game I want nothing to do with anymore. Sad really because there’s nothing else like it. But greed took over their business model and I’m out! I’d warn others to be prepare to eventually delete it and walk away when you’ve had enough like I have..Bway guyVersion: 0.1.62
Ridiculous UpdatesThis has been a comfort game for me for a while now. I loved how simple and straightforward it was. The difficulties would vary every six levels or so, so it was still difficult but engaging. But then the newer updates started. They added streaks, which were okay at best, but it slowed the transition between levels. It allowed you to get more coins, so I guess it's fine. Then they added locked decks and keys you had to get. Because your hand is different every time you play the level, sometimes it is virtually impossible to get the keys to unlock the hidden decks. In those cases you had to start over and over until you got a good enough deck to complete the lever. Fine. But this latest update? THEY ADDED LIVES. You only have 5 chances A DAY to lose a game THAT GIVES YOU DECKS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPETE. This is the most anti consumer update I've ever seen, and it deleted the core reason of why this game was so good. No matter how many times you failed, there was another chance. It made the game addicting and allowed me to play it for hours, unlike other games with lives. You can now only play this game for one hour max, unless you spend money on more lives. Also I feel like I have less in game money than ever which is strange because it introduced more ways to get money. I could tolerate some of the new updates, but this was my final straw. I will never play games with lives, so I can no longer play this game. The developers' greed has ruined what made the game excellent. I hope that one day they will learn to honor the customers who support them, and not the corporate greed that consumes them..Yaygirl2004Version: 1.10.1
Disappointing updatesAds were a given, and turn-based system made it the right amount of challenging without it turning to frustration—the new locked stacks were a bit much, but the heart system turned the experience from enjoyable with a few annoyances I could overlook to downright unbearable. Not only does a player have limited turns, not only do locked stacks limit our moves, but now we are stuck in essentially a “do or die” system where you either beat the level of an already difficult game, or when you inevitably run out of coins you watch even more ads to get hearts. Honestly seems cash-grabby, considering players already watch ad breaks and voluntarily watch ads for boosters or extra turns, not to mention the members who already pay premium for no ads—don’t tell me they have to go through this bs just to get more hearts. One of the main reasons I stop reaching for these kinds of tap games is precisely this problem: added features makes it even harder to engage with ACTUAL gameplay—it’s like you don’t even want us to play. I’ve noticed that this is a major problem in tap game development in general—as soon as the player base is large enough, it’s never about the game, or whatever minimal passions you put into it, it’s about how much money you can make off of it. Maybe there was no passion at all..Takobunny29Version: 1.8.0
DO NOT DOWNLOADThis game used to be fun, even despite the 120 second ads run back to back, even though the game rewards all GOOD things you do with an ad, as well as your mistakes. It feels like a horrible reward system, the kind that leads to insanity in lab chimps, but the game content is interesting. (And British, BTW. Just know that even though they’ve altered most spellings to be American in the US with some hysterical failures to do so showing an absolute blindness to the language, the meanings are all UK. Or they just had a UK thesaurus.)But the latest update shows that there is no regard whatsoever for players. I was nearly on level 500, and I’ve never used a coin to buy a benefit so had a lot. By the way, the coins are awarded at 10 per entire solitaire game you’ve won, but it costs 1500 coins to do the smallest thing. This is not a real economy. However, the game deleted all my coins yesterday AND started charging coins (i.e. real money b/c they don’t give out enough coins) for things that used to be free or free-with-ads just to play. This is evil money-making at work, with no regard for keeping their players. You take away someone stash and then start charging — that’s fraud. This has been about building a following and getting ratings, and then trying to pick your pocket. Go elsewhere..RibboniaVersion: 0.1.62
FrustratingLimited options overcoming obstacles unless you want to spend real cash, after you watch the necessary ads to accumulate gold to buy 10 extra turns you have to wait 8 hours before you can get more. Never saw a game that put a limit on the number of ads you can watch. There is a certain number count for card turns, Each time you turn a card it counts even when you turn the deck over to go again. You have to have a lead card for the foundation at the top, that goes against your count. Most games will only count when you deal from the deck, this game counts when you move cards from 1 column to another, from the column to the top, the deck, using a joker, any move whatsoever goes against the count, you can only stack similar, you are only given a very few jokers or undo cards with no option to earn more, using them goes against your count, you have to spend an enormous amount of gold to buy them and only receive a small amount with each win. After you have used up the number of ads to watch to accumulate gold you have to just restart the level, very frustrating, because you always run out of turns when you have two or three cards left to finish the level. Won't be playing this game anymore.Looking4theritegameVersion: 1.6.0
Ad CentralI normally never write reviews but this game peeved me off in such a bad way. The game is fun, but there is absolutely no way to escape ads. You’re always short of completing the levels by one or two moves, you HAVE to watch an ad to get 10 moves to finish the game or restart the level. Getting more moves via in game currency is absolutely impossible so I didn’t even include that as an option (every game you complete gains you 50 coins, you need 1500 to get more moves FOR A SINGLE LEVEL?! I mean COME ON!). In addition to being ad locked by purposeful shortage of moves, you get stupid “ad breaks” phrased as a good thing when in reality they interrupt a flow state and just peeve you off more. Out of 8 levels I’ve watched FIFTEEN ADS which is horrid. Not to mention, the ads are so low quality and cringe worthy Dhar-Mann level acting I’ve ever witnessed. Come on guys, screen what you’re advertising! All money isn’t good money, I promise you. If I could’ve tolerated the contents of all the ads, MAYBE my ending level would’ve been at least double digits. I will absolutely not be continuing this ad riddled game and I implore anyone else to save the trouble and not even waste their time. Creators - do better..Austinjonesfuturewifey1000Version: 1.1.0
Ruined the funThis app could have been a fun game if the creators weren’t so broke and desperate putting a million ads in the game for money. it makes the game VERY unplayable because EVERY single time you collect and complete a category they make an ad pop up. it’s actually corny and makes me really dislike the entire game to be honest. it’s supposed to be fun but the creators are money hungry. it’s sad. they will lose support from people very quickly if they don’t make some sort of update that includes less ads. btw NOBODY should be paying for the ad free version of this game if there even is one. that’s why they put a ridiculous amount of ads so that you are forced to give them your money. well it’s not going to work over here. you’re not getting a dime from me so , do better and then you might actually be worth some money. hope this helps ! 🥰 also i just finished reading the creators reply to people complaining about the ads. meaning i’m not the only one acknowledging that they are doing too much , many others have complained as well. therefore making it a larger issue. and their response is to just buy the ad free version. yeah you guys are greedy and hungry for money. that you’re not going to get 😘.The1bleednVersion: 1.6.0
At this point don’t botherI really enjoyed this game enough to pay the money to remove the ads. It was fun, and soothing to sort through the cards and helped me wind down. Unfortunately developers have become greedy and keep adding features intended to force you to watch ads for revenue or spend more money. First the keys and locks mechanism that cannot be turned off made some levels impossible to complete without watching an ad for more moves. Now the lives mechanism is the absolute last straw for me. If I get stuck I want to reset the game. Limiting my ability to do that in a game I paid for is unacceptable. You all ruined a great app.
Updated Response to Developer: Oh I am WELL aware that the feature can’t be turned off, that is the problem your updates are aimed towards making us watch ads even when we have PAID for your game. I paid to have an ad free experience and to be able to play the game without interruption. Your updates have made that impossible and I feel I should be refunded what I paid because what I paid for no longer exists. It’s greedy and has ruined the playing experience of the game. We aren’t stupid we are well aware of what you are doing here..Mhamer84Version: 1.12.0
Ads suddenly went from reasonable to making the game unplayableUntil recently, this was a great game, with perfectly reasonable advertising that I had no problems with—you usually get an “Ad Break” during each level, which plays a 30-second ad that you can cancel early after 7 seconds, and there are optional ads to do things like get more moves if you run out, which often take the full 30 seconds and can’t be canceled. Again, that was all perfectly fine. But then everything changed. Now, you get at least four ads per game instead of one. None of them can be canceled. They pretend to be 30 seconds long, but in fact it takes 35 seconds to get to a close button that doesn’t actually close the ad but takes you to another part that has a fake close button that doesn’t work, and so on. One ad didn’t even have a way to end it, even after leaving its static screen sitting there for a few minutes while I went and made coffee. Another ad tried to open a web page that Safari blocked as a dangerous site, and another asked permission to interact with my Apple Wallet! If you want to see how egregious scam ads can get, this is a great app for you. If you want a good solitaire game to play a round at the bus stop, well, it was great for that until recently, but now it’s unplayable.
PS, the developer responded, and basically told me that it’s the ad networks’ fault not theirs, and that I should pay for No Ads. Looking through other reviews, multiple reviews complain they paid for No Ads and still get too many ads—and they all got the same response from the devs that I do, including the suggestion to pay for No Ads! Seriously? I don’t understand why any of them would trust a company that acts like this in the first place, and I’m not at all surprised that trust was apparently repaid with fraud..JHolzelVersion: 1.3.0
Not a bad waste of timeSimple game with some word recognition. Good to chase a round or two when you have a little time to burn. Only complaint are the ad breaks in the middle of a puzzle.
(Edited) Dropping my original score to two stars. I’ve played for a bit of time and have reached puzzles with multiple ad breaks. At least these you can skip through after about 1/2 the ad is played. But the ads to gain more cards are ridiculous. There are only enough cards given to make a clean pass possible if the deck is set up for it. For all others, you have to run ads to finish the round. I am not against ads. They are necessary. I am against the length of the ads. 20 to 30 second ads, good. 60+ second ads, nope. I’ll take my game play elsewhere. And for some of the 60 second spots, the advertiser only has a 30 second commercial and so you have to watch the same commercial twice to fill the ad space. I’ve quit other games when the ads consistently went over 60 seconds. Now time to quit this one.
It was an enjoyable game. But ads destroyed the fun of it. Just like so many other games..LtforlifeVersion: 1.3.0
Tbh it’s cool but not goodWhen I first downloaded this app, the advertisement that was shown for showed a simple game that all you had to do was find the words and what it associates with just like typical grouping or whatever I start playing the game. I haven’t even been playing it for a long and already I’m almost sick of it like I’m about to delete the game because on one hand level one was a little weird it didn’t let me beat it the first two times and when I had to ask for 10 more moves they gave me an ad which is understandable but even when I exited the game and came back in just decided to restart it was still giving me ads and giving me ad breaks every 30 seconds and furthermore when I got out of that level and got on level six, which is the current level started to get a lot more complicated than it should’ve all I wanted was a relaxing game that spelled, fun, and interesting. I wouldn’t say this is the exact game I would B looking for her cause I don’t even do solitaire and it might just be a skill issue, but it was not what I wanted. It’s not how I expected it to go and I’m already sick of the game and I haven’t even been on it for long..I use voice typeVersion: 0.1.4
Truly DisappointingThe ads are whatever, the locks on the cards is a fun fresh twist, limited moves are a poor choice but I guess its still winnable, adding lives now makes it nearly impossible to attempt winning. I saw your comment on "All levels are designed to be beatable without extra moves" what a joke. The card placement is randomly generated every time just like in Solitaire, and everyone knows that not every game of Solitaire is winnable; it's a game of chance not just skill so don't feed me that stinker of an excuse.
I used to spend my free time playing this game, it felt like I found something else I could turn my brain off for a little bit while the world turns to hell, now Im left frustrated that no matter what I would do I would lose the game based off of card placement or not enough moves and I cant continue trying because of the stupid health.
Im turning back to REAL Solitaire with unlimited moves and 0 health, because at least I'll know I will end those games happy I won no matter how many turns it took. Don't waste your time on this cash grab, it will leave you feeling worse than before you started playing it..RejectedMilkVersion: 1.10.1
Way too Challenging!I love this game so much, and I love Connect Words, but the fact that theres a move limit makes the rounds much harder than they have to be. And due to certain mechanics, like you can’t stack under the category title, it takes up extra moves that you need to move the words into a stack. Lets put it like this, if there are 56 cards in the draw pile, and 22 cards on the board, if you had a perfect draw where you could separate every card into its category as soon as you draw it from the deck you’d basically have no moves left. The act of drawing a card from the deck is one move, and the act of placing it into a stack is another. So every card uses 2 moves. If you only have 155 moves but 78 cards in the deck, you have to perfectly play every hand you’re given in order to not use any ads or pay in game currency to get extra moves. Thats crazy to me. You should be able to complete every hand without having to watch ads or spend gold.
The concept behind this game is super fun but again, too hard for no real reason..S_gb56Version: 1.0.0
Fun but too many adsUpdate: Changed rating to one-star based on the developer’s response, which I see is the same response they have been giving everyone else with the same complaints for a while. You clearly haven’t come to a “balance” with the amount of ads vs gameplay as you claimed to be striving for. A balance would be one forced ad per every round, before or after the round. I’m not going to give you money because you felt the need to take it too far and anger people by blasting them with ads so they can’t even complete a single round. As others have stated, there are other games like this that don’t do this. I gave this a try, you’re not going to fix the problem, so I’ll move on to something else.
Original: It’s fun to play and makes you think, but there are too many annoyingly placed ads. I get it’s a free game so there will be ads, but do they have to pop up in the middle of a round? Why can’t the ads be placed between rounds? It’s very annoying to be in the middle of playing and suddenly there’s an ad. Don’t know if I will keep playing if that isn’t fixed..LucyFur910Version: 1.4.3
Avoid itThis game has a great concept but there are major flaws to it. First and foremost, not enough moves for the levels. Second, you only get 50 coins for completing a level. This is not nearly enough coins to satisfy the 1500 you have to spend to get more moves on the more difficult levels. Third, you only get an allotment of 9 ad watches a day (if you don’t have enough coins to spend) for only 10 extra moves. There were levels that I went through have my moves before I got anywhere with the level. Be prepared for horrible shuffles. Every action is a move. You can only go so far with the deck before you have to resort to moving cards around under the topics row. By the time you get anything going your out moves. I gave it 2 stars because it’s a great concept but poorly made. It needs to be revamped for a better experience. In my opinion, for now, avoid this game. I deleted it off my device but I will check back for any updates stating they made improvements and may reinstall it. For now it is garbage..Djs0378Version: 1.1.1
Disappointing UpdatesI never write reviews but I genuinely love this game so I’m disappointed with each new update. I’ve run into two levels that were impossible, first one I figured out, second one I had to use an ad for ten extra moves because it was spanning days and I got down to five cards and zero moves left. This new update with hearts for every mess up is my final straw. This was the only mobile game that stimulated my brain and continued to bring me back while other games I’d get rid of because of its complexity that comes with the tricky randomness to each level. HOWEVER, I’d play the game for hours due to there being no penalty to restarting. The hearts are pushing me away from the game and do not encourage me to use ads/pay money for more hearts. I’m being so genuine, if the feature of hearts is removed, I will continue playing the game for hours day end but until then I will be boycotting the game. If the new feature is removed, I will also delete my review but I’m disappointed since I love the game so much..LittlegennaVersion: 1.10.1
Has potential but is currently very frustrating.ADS:
- There are a lot of ads. There are ads in the middle of the games and after each game. As soon as you go to the home menu, there is another ad! I feel like more of my time is spent watching ads than playing the game. It’s frustrating.
- A lot of the ads are also broken. After playing for 15 minutes i have 8 new pages open on google from the x button not working. Or they just straight up crash the game.
No customization:
- There are no options to customize the game. I would rather play without a certain amount of moves. It feels like an ad grab because you only get 50 coins per round you win and to revive yourself is 1500 coins.
- You can’t change difficulty.
- If you have mobility issues, there is no click to move.
Expensive:
- As i said before, you get 50 coins per round you complete. Everything is SO EXPENSIVE. to revive yourself it’s 1500 coins. So you have to win 30 rounds for 10 extra moves. That’s just ridiculous.
- The hint or reverse button are also 800 coins! So if you want a hint you have to win 16 round and sometimes the hint is just “draw a card”!! Personally, I don’t think the hint and reverse button should cost anything. It takes away from the fun of the game and just builds frustration.
- There are no daily prizes or anything like that either so you’re just stuck watching a billion ads.
Overall:
- Overall the game is a cool concept but it’s really not worth all of the hassle. I spend more time stuck with broken ads than i do playing the game..MissmyraleeVersion: 0.1.62
Good App TaintedI really enjoyed the sample game in an ad and decided to download it. Initial play (a few levels) was ad free, fun, and educational. Then the first shoe dropped.
Ads galore. Before, after, even during (ad break time!) each game plus ads to get more moves when the deck was stacked against me. But, I liked the game and decided I would use what was left of an old gift card to buy the ad free version.
Cue other shoe. As fun and enlightening as the game is, the deck stacking is purely designed to force further purchases because even ad viewing isn’t enough to get enough moves to legitimately finish some levels. The locks are only slightly frustrating but the fact is that the levels clearly include more cards than there are moves to meld them unless they’ve decided to throw you a bone to keep you in the hook.
I wish I’d looked around for similar apps with more balanced scales. I’m all for supporting good app developers but this one isn’t designed to entertain or educate but, rather, to frustrate and extort.
This will fall on deaf ears but I hope you’ll consider forgoing a few immediate returns for long term play. If you make most (if not all) levels winnable by the numbers, you’ll get eyes on ads when we slip up. We’ll feel encouraged to keep playing for a very long time which will earn you more than if we give up completely and delete your app.
Bottom line is this is a fun app but don’t waste your money until the developers recognize that ads need to be seen to generate revenue..FlyingEarVersion: 1.10.1
Okay, but WAY too many ads.EDIT: The canned response just told me all I needed to know about this dev. You don’t need to have these many ads in the game and to just tell me to buy the option to get rid of ads tells me that they definitely are just money hungry. Sad I have to delete, but oh well.
I don’t mind the occasional ad. We know how mobile games work. However, after playing for a couple days, I’m convinced this game forces you to watch ads to play. More than once I’ve played a level multiple times (I was just playing a round that I’ve played 7 times now, which prompted me to come rate the game) and always ending with too few moves no matter what I do, so I watch an ad to get the 2-5 extra moves I seem to ALWAYS need now. I didn’t need it for the first couple rounds, but now I need to every single time. Not too bad, but then you also are forced to watch an “ad break” in the middle of the round. And whether you win a round or not, you’re also shown an ad between rounds. It’s just too much. I spend more time watching ads than playing the game..ReedearVersion: 1.6.0
ADS!!!!I want to like this game, I really do, but the ads are too much. And don’t come at me with the, “To keep our game free we gotta put ads in.”, you don’t need this many. I get an ad every 2 minutes of playing a round! You also get one before the next round, middle of the round, completing a deck. It’s too much! My gameplay is ad watching. If I want to watch ads I’d go to YouTube and watch them. The limited moves are also ridiculous, there’s clearly not enough moves to finish some of the rounds, so you’re forced to watch an ad..Sack SuckersVersion: 0.1.51
Great conceptI actually love the game itself but having to watch 3 ads per level is too annoying to justify spending any time playing..SjkennettVersion: 0.1.60
New updateThe new update with the locked cards ruined it its almost impossible it was perfect how it was before.TheresabugPaKaVaVersion: 1.8.0
Too many AdsI can’t even play this at level 5 it opens with an ad I can’t close what a rip off.
I understand I can pay for no ads but $12.99 is steep where other games are $3.99 for no ads. I’ve moved on.Warrens86Version: 1.3.0
The new update ruined itI’ve become obsessed with playing this game during my breaks at work, but the new update with the locked cards has made it impossible and frustrating. I’m glad to see other recent reviews saying the same thing, I hope they change it back..Xmegel123xVersion: 1.8.0
LocksAbsolutely hate the locks that were added. Ruined the game..Appie107Version: 1.8.0
New lock and key feature sucksI LOVED this game, enough to buy ad free, but this new update with locks on certain cards and keys hidden deep in stacks has made the game frustrating instead of fun. Which is a super bummer..AnxKarterVersion: 1.8.0
Uses a slur as a categoryLevel 186 uses a slur against Romani people as a category..THANOS!!Version: 1.6.1
Time sink and adslopThere are just way too many ads. There are atleast 3 ads per game. The ads themselves are also prolonged because you have to press the “x” 3 times. Without ads the gameplay just sucks you might like it for a few games but the difficulty does ramp up quite a bit and unless you get really good luck you probably will not win. It’s a game genuinely made to take your time and spend it watching ads or spend money. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ELIMINATING ADS the game is not designed for you to win. The game honestly sucks only because the devs made it so. If only they would spend time rethinking their monetization the game is just bottom of the barrel mobile slop..Nicc naymVersion: 1.6.1
Ads!!!!I get that developers need the ad revenue, I support it. I’m happy to have “Ad Breaks” as they call it. But when you create levels that aren’t solvable without watching multiple 1+ minute ads, I can’t do it. The game concept is great, the execution is pure greed!.We$$$$$$Version: 1.6.1
Not passableBy level 11 they do not give you enough moves to be able to finish the level. Turning a card from the deck should not use a move. Too bad as I liked the game otherwise.Skittles04Version: 1.5.0
The new update ruined the gameThe game used to be addictive and relaxing. The new update ruined everything.Qiqizong97Version: 1.13.0
New UpdateThe new update with the keys and locks really ruined the game, the game was perfect before, was highly addicting, can hardly make it through a level now and it’s just frustrating..Emily_UrquhartVersion: 1.12.0
Get rid of the lives and locksI used to love this game, I would play it for hours. When I got stuck on a level I could keep playing until I finished it. I absolutely hate that theyve added lives. Some levels are hard I’m stuck on them for 10+ rounds. Now with the locked columns levels are 10x harder to finish because of the limited amount of moves. Very unhappy with these new updates..Aaaann🫶🏻Version: 1.12.0
Too many ads!You get a number of ads before levels, during levels and after…plus a persistent ad banner at the bottom of the screen. This goes beyond “keeping the game free” and ruins the game. Not worth the download unless you want to be frustrated!.Daniel_1984_canVersion: 1.12.0
Lives and Locked Cards Ruined the GameI’ve loved this game for several months now, the ads have never been an issue for me because I understand it makes the game free. I’ve made it to level 731 and have even put a few friends onto the game but with the lives and locked cards update the game isn’t fun at all anymore which is disappointing because I genuinely really enjoyed it..ShaetaylaVersion: 1.9.0
Used to like itThis game used to be fun and challenging. The random ads were annoying but it’s a free game so I get it. But the locks and keys have wrecked the game for me. I don’t play any more..Spaghetti06Version: 1.9.0
Recent changes ruined this gameYou made such a good, simple, addicting game and then went and ruined it by adding the use of “hearts” whenever a player wants to restart. Having a set number of moves is enough of a parameter to play the game in. Then you add these ridiculous locks and keys too? Whoever decided on these changes is a moron. Such stupid, stupid decisions. I’m so tired of every developer ruining a good thing because of their GREED or lack of understanding of their audience. AND THE ADS. My god. I reached over 150 levels and will be deleting the game because of these changes. Players be warned. It’s not fun anymore and you will get an ad every minute..Msmith0Version: 1.9.0
New changes have ruined the gameplay.The new changes to the way you play, especially in regards to having locked areas in the stacks, have made it extremely difficult to finish a level without watching an add to get more moves. I’ve been playing for quite a while now, I’m on level 1041, and I am beyond frustrated having to play the same level over and over because I run out of moves or am stuck with no moves to make since this change. I’d rather go play a game I can actually enjoy.
You obviously don’t get the point I’m trying to make. The options are now pay/watch ads or replay the same level over and over again. Having an average of two ads a level was annoying, this is just greedy now. I’ll go find a similar game that doesn’t try to wring as much money out of its players as it can..ErzsabetTamVersion: 1.9.0
Please remove the livesI love this game, would’ve given 5 stars.
I loved the progression of the game, it felt fair. The keys and locks made it more difficult but wasn’t needed, still addicting. Adding the lives system has completely changed it, this wasn’t an “improvement” I tolerated the ad’s for hours of play. I’ll be deleting the game now as it’s too much now.

Useless updateThe game was really great until the new update where they added "lives", just another cash grab like every other game now, don't think i'll continue playing..Delainy jVersion: 1.8.0
Terrible ChangesLoved playing this game mindlessly to unwind, but the new locks and limited lives have ruined it for me. There have always been way too many ad breaks..Elizaprimrose927Version: 1.8.0
UpdateThe new update with the keys is terrible. Makes the game completely less fun and almost impossible. Please change it back. It was my favourite game and now it’s horrible..Mic2000000Version: 1.8.0
Please change it backI was loving this game, over 900 levels; but after the update, there is now most levels with the locked card function. Can there at least please be an option to turn that off?.Jennluobooboo27Version: 1.8.0

A scamToo many categories for so little moves. Yes you can watch ads and use coins, but you can only watch 9 ads per day and that only gives 10 moves and coins have to be paid. You can get 500 coins for an ad or two but then that’s it, when adding moves with coins cost 1500 coins. Not worth it..Monox99Version: 1.6.1
AdsGood lord if I could give this 0 I would. In one round I had 3 ad breaks and then an ad at the end and an ad before the next game. Like damn. Can you chill?.Good game/suggestionsVersion: 1.6.1

More ads than GameThe amount of ad time while trying to play this game is abysmal. Can’t even get through one round without 1-4 ads coming up. There are an absurd amount of ads in this game, super disappointing.
Edit in response to the dev comment:
This review is based on selecting the no-ads setting and yet being inundated with ads regardless..HCMSBVersion: 1.6.0
More ads than gameThe game concept is good. But too many ads. You spend more time watching ads than playing the game. You can pay a reasonable price to remove ads. But you still end up watching too many ads even after paying. It’s even more annoying when the ads crash the game after you’ve paid..Test2424Version: 1.6.0
AdsWhoever thought it was a good idea to have an ad break in the middle of gameplay should be fired. Impossible to enjoy..YumAlgaeVersion: 1.6.0
Mid level ads are a jokeI’ve played many games where you have to watch an ad between levels, but to have a level stop during actual game play for an ad is ridiculous. Worst game I have EVER played because of that..FBZ75Version: 1.5.0

Can’t get the right cards without watching an AD is ridiculous.ShendodhmspsVersion: 1.5.0

ADS! and more ads!Seriously frustrating how many ads! I will delete this app that has the potential to be fun!!!.Linnilou1265Version: 1.5.0
Too may adsThis is a fairly simple game where you use word associations rather than card suits to complete solitaire games. Unfortunately, it is yet another freemium pile that has far, far too may ads ruining the experience.
There are ads between stages, and multiple ads per game stage. If you run out of moves (which the game is designed to have you do, often), you have to watch an ad for more moves, which probably won’t be enough to finish the level, and then you have to watch another ad for more moves.
There is a paid option to remove ads, which is $12.99, which is an absurd amount of money for a time sink phone game.
