  • graphics
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive high praise for their beauty and polish, with many users highlighting them as a standout feature. However, some players have experienced significant graphical issues, such as distortion, which detracted from their overall enjoyment. While the visuals are generally well-received, concerns about the value for money regarding additional content persist among users.

    • “This is a beautiful game, the graphics are awesome!”
    • “Well polished game with great graphics.”
    • “I love the graphics on this game; they are a lot better than other ones I've tried.”
    • “Imagine my surprise - and disappointment - to open the game and find squashed and skewed graphics!”
    • “The graphics distortion is so bad I can barely tell what each card is.”
    • “That said, I may still play the game if the graphics issues are fixed.”
  • monetization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the monetization model, highlighting that despite purchasing the game, they still encounter intrusive ads and are required to pay additional fees to remove them. Many feel misled, as they expected a fully ad-free experience after their initial purchase, and are concerned about the high costs associated with in-app purchases for additional content. Overall, the monetization strategy has led to dissatisfaction among players who feel they are being charged multiple times for a complete experience.

    • “I originally purchased this game before the in-app purchase for solution help.”
    • “I bought the app, which looks nice and plays well, but if you want anything other than the standard deck and environment, you have to pay extra via in-app purchases for each additional addon.”
    • “I am a bit concerned about the potential cost of in-app purchases.”
    • “I paid for hardwood solitaire, yet ads pop up and I can't get back to the game -- I have to watch the ad or back out of the game.”
    • “Then it says to get rid of all ads, I have to pay an additional amount. Am I doing something wrong?”
    • “Bought the app, which does look nice and plays well, but if you want anything other than the standard deck and environment, you have to pay extra via in-app purchase for each additional add-on.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is generally well-received, particularly on Android devices where it performs impressively on Tegra hardware. However, users report occasional performance hiccups and lag, especially when switching screens, and note the absence of a portrait mode as a drawback.

    • “The Android implementation (optimized for Tegra) is incredible.”
    • “I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the performance can get a little laggy at times when switching screens.”
    • “This game has lots of different single player card games, including the popular Klondike game (which is like the solitaire in Windows) - only issues are the lack of a portrait mode (you can only play in landscape) and occasional performance hiccups.”
    • “I was using another solitaire game that is supposed to be optimized for Honeycomb, and it was miserable in every regard -- not worth playing.”
    • “I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the performance can get a little laggy at times when switching screens.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is praised for its relaxing quality and medieval background themes, reminiscent of earlier versions. Players appreciate how it complements the graphics and enhances the overall gaming experience, contributing positively to the enjoyment of the game.

    • “I love the music and graphics.”
    • “Great graphics, relaxing music, more types of solitaire are available to purchase, and multiplayer.”
    • “Play medieval background music, as it did in much earlier versions.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game is inconsistent, with reports of buggy controls that occasionally fail to register card selections. In contrast, Solitaire Megapack by Tesseractobile is noted for its superior gameplay and lack of bugs, suggesting a more stable experience.

    • “Solitaire Megapack by Tesseractobile offers many more games, better gameplay, and so far as I can tell, it's bug-free.”
    • “Controls are a bit buggy; sometimes it doesn't register when you select a card.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
    • “I've experienced several instances of lag that disrupt the gameplay experience.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay experiences are marred by occasional lag, even on high-spec devices, and players express frustration over the high cost of accessing additional games without the option to earn in-game currency through gameplay.

    • “Gameplay is sometimes laggy, even on a phone with excellent specs.”
    • “I'm also not a huge fan of having to pay so much for more than 10 games, with no way to earn in-game currency through gameplay.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is highly praised for its customizability and immersive qualities, with users highlighting strong developer support that enhances the overall experience. Many recommend it for its engaging and atmospheric gameplay.

    • “Great solitaire game... very customizable and atmospheric.”
    • “A great developer support, this program has an amazing atmosphere. I can only recommend it to everyone.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the story's lack of depth and clarity, feeling that it is insufficiently developed to engage them before the return window expires.

    • “Google only gives you 15 minutes to return, so that expired sooner than I could find out the rip-off story and return mine.”
