Card ▻ Games

I have had this game for over 7 years and played it daily. In the last few weeks an ad pops up when I finish a game but will not allow I me to use the app unless I close everything down and restart it. I think it may be a ploy to make me purchase the pay it or else version. If so, you are ensuring I will completely delete this pay or else game from both of my devices unless freezing the app in an ad I have no desire to play disappears and my app is once again usable. Oh, and since you won’t let me use the email app I prefer, I cannot email you.

This new version causes my iPad to flash back to the home screen spontaneously during a game. I can go back and open the game again and it is close to the way I left it, but sometimes it is a couple moves back. This breaks concentration and is very irritating. The ads between games continue to be very annoying. Any that include noise, which overrides the volume off, are a disaster. I play in waiting rooms and in the night. I cannot play, if you are deciding for me that my iPad will make a peep, much less explode with loud crazy sounds. I love playing, but the above are very frustrating and cause me to quit and move on to something else.

The developers have made a mistake. In an effort to make money (I assume) they have added ads between games. For the most part they are harmless and can be X'd out in a second or two. HOWEVER, every couple ads is a live video ad that must be endured for 5 or more seconds before being closed and typically include very loud sudden noise, like a sudden barrage of tank & cannon fire for a war game ad or sudden loud pounding music for a karaoke ad. I typically play this game while relaxing with an audiobook or soft music- the game and book/music together intending to relax and de-stress. The sudden loud explosions or screaming music (set to automatically play at a very loud volume - consistently far louder than any audiobook or music I'm playing) totally defeats any relaxation achieved. Even worse, I usually am listening with headphones in and the loud noise hurts my ears. I end up pawing at the earbuds to protect my ears. The ads chosen by the developers for promotion between games is far off base. The games themselves are easy to use and function fine. Don't settle down to play with any expectation of peace.
