The monetization model of the game is generally viewed positively, as players appreciate the low initial cost of $0.99 to avoid ads, which enhances the gaming experience. However, some users feel that free alternatives with minimal ads offer a better overall experience, suggesting that the game's monetization could be improved.
“I bought this game for like $0.99 mostly so I can play solitaire without ads.”
“The only thing that recommends it is that it is mercifully free of advertising and other BS, which could put it over the mahjongg that you can get directly from Microsoft, if it wasn't so annoying in other ways.”
“Their free solitaire games are way better and the few ads are not at all intrusive!”
