This app is a classic case of bait and switch. They first tempt you with FREE. You don’t pay for anything. 125 games free. Just try to play them! If you want a hint because you’re stuck you have to watch an ad OR pay for more hints than you’ll ever use. So, you choose to watch an ad for a lame game. THEN no matter how many exit x’s you push (IF you can find them because they are so camouflaged) the ad won’t close. Five minutes of this and you have either PAID for a ton of hints or given up on your game. I got stuck on a free cell game which I knew was probably lost, but to find out I wasted so much time on a worthless ad, only to FINALLY get out of it, and get a worthless hint which didn’t help, and EVEN THEN I couldn’t quit the game. Bait and switch is a classic marketing tool which promises one thing but gives you another after you”buy in.” Download this game if you’re fine with being duped into free , but with a great cost of your time leading to them picking your pocket via exasperation with it all.
I used to love these games however, I paid for it and now I’m getting ads. It wouldn’t bother me if I could close them, or move them to a different area of the screen, but that is not happening. The ads are a banner and go right over the cards so you can’t see them and so you can’t play a game. So I sit there and I wait until the ad closes. But now they’re not closing. How can you enjoy something when you can’t play it?
I love this solitaire pack. Over the years I have redownloaded it to every new device I get. My progress in earning stars gets reset but I don’t care about that. This game has several sections. You begin with a giant pack of unlocked games and a “gianter” pack of several sections of locked games. To unlock them you earn stars or buy the pack for a very low price. There is no ludicrous money-sucking subscription system here. I recommend this game to anyone looking for a solitaire pack. There are in-game instructions for each game. There are no lives, you can play exactly the way you want to. I tend to either get obsessed by one game, or hop all over the place like a rabbit on an energy drink. It suits multiple methods of playing.
