Microsoft Solitaire Collection

LOVE the new “undo all” option. Finally!! Thank you Things that makes this a GOOD app: -add free -graphics are bright and more modern than other apps -can choose the level or random -bonus games -press undo as many times as you want -it saves your game if you close the app -there are other types of games included -good setting choices -nostalgic card backs from OG Microsoft game Things that would make this a PERFECT app: -the HINT glitches.. it also moves slower than me. Wish it were faster and more accurate. -The “you’ve run out of moves” glitches.. I have to try and trigger it by pressing HINT multiple times. -I would like a “Restart game” option available at all times. Right now it’s only an option when you’ve run out of moves, and you have to work to trigger that pop up by pressing HINT and the cards, back and forth, repeatedly. Very annoying. -I would like there to be an icon to know if a game is solvable. I sometimes restart the game 4x in an attempt to solve it… many times I finally do, other times I don’t think it’s possible. I wish there were an option to see if it is a solvable game. It could be a setting option or something that requires 2 clicks in order to see (so it doesn’t ruin the gameplay experience). I have bought other solitaire apps recently but this is the best one, in spite of the glitches. The others have graphics that look older and yellowed, or a limited “undo” per game. I would even be willing to pay a slightly higher price to have these features in my game, as they would improve an already good app. Thank you

So I have been playing this game for many years, ever since I got my first laptop which was over a decade ago. I was very happy to play this game on the go, whether I had connection or not. Then as the game modernized, it started requiring Internet play as well as showing ads. I kept playing the game because I love the fact that all the card games were in one app, and keeps up with what levels I’m on in the different games. However the app seems a bit outdated at this point. With other games, when they show ads(for those of us who don’t want to pay for ad free play), it normally runs for about five to ten seconds before having a “fast forward” button to let us skip the rest of the ad. After 3-5 more seconds and we can ex it out and play the game we want. With Microsoft Solitaire, you have to stay for the whole 45 seconds to a minute along with waiting for the X to pop up too proceed to the game. And the ads are always about the same thing now. “Royal Match,” the game with no ads. Having to watch these between every game I play gets very annoying, especially since I have to sit through this terrible actors demonstrating the game or either the game itself trying to force me to swipe the screen. I always get fed up and go play some other game. I have dedicated so much time and energy to this game though and would hate to have to start over somewhere else, but it looks like that’s what I’ll have to do.

EDIT: I’m an idiot and these games are 4 suit. I wasn’t paying attention and the games didn’t label them as 4 suit so I didn’t realize. Disregard. A weird number of Spider Solitaire games in the star club packs are consistently glitchy in a very specific way I haven’t seen in any daily challenge, event, or regular games. The cards just don’t act right—random cards will not act like they belong to any suit, so while you have a red 3 on a red 4, for example, the game won’t let you move these cards together. But putting that same red 3 on a black 4 will also not let you move it. This glitch makes probably 20 games or so completely unplayable, which is unfortunate, because I like to complete challenges and packs and seeing these star club packs unfinished leaves me a bit unsatisfied. That being said, this is by and large the best solitaire app in the app store. Lots of ways to play, and lots of incentives to keep it interesting. It does seem that they changed some things about the daily challenges to make it easier to earn the monthly badges, which I’m not a huge fan of. Just seems weird to be able to get a diamond badge after completing less than half of the month. Doesn’t affect gameplay at all though, just a small thing.
