The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback due to the excessive number of ads, which many players find intrusive and frustrating. Users report that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing, with frequent interruptions after nearly every level, leading to a diminished gaming experience. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the overall sentiment is that the ad frequency is excessive and detracts significantly from the enjoyment of the game.
“Monetization is a bit weird since you get extra money watching an ad when you could just play another level and so far I haven't seen a reason to watch an ad.”
“Good game, but I would like it if I could purchase the ability for no ads.”
“No ads unless you want one.”
“You spend twice as long watching ads as playing.”
“The actual gameplay is fine enough, but the amount of ads that this game makes you sit through is ridiculous.”
“If you have to watch an ad after every level and then another to get the coins, it's not because you have to have ads to keep it free; it's because you are greedy and know you don't have a good game.”

The game's story aspect receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the integration of a storyline that enhances the solitaire experience and provides additional goals, while others find the narrative lacking depth or excitement.

Overall, the story adds a layer of enjoyment for some, but is not essential for all players.

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over its inability to run simultaneously with other audio apps, such as music or podcasts. While some appreciate the soothing sounds during gameplay, others find the music cheesy or annoying, leading them to mute it entirely. Overall, the lack of audio control significantly detracts from the experience for many users.
“Lovely music, smooth gameplay; generally a great solitaire app.”
“Nice music, good animation, too frequent advertising.”
“I like the soothing sound while playing cards, but the fake piano music during the renovation is grating to the nerves.”
“It gets three stars because it interferes with any audio app (music, podcast, audiobook, etc.) that I want to listen to while playing, even with music and sound effects set to silent.”
“The idea that I can't have music or a podcast running at the same time as playing this game is ridiculous.”
“I would give it 5 stars if I could hear my music like the former game I had. Please change this.”

The gameplay is described as responsive and cute, but heavily marred by excessive ads that disrupt the experience. Players express frustration over being forced to watch ads between levels, leading to a significant reduction in actual gameplay time, which ultimately detracts from their enjoyment of the game.
“Responsive gameplay.”
“Cute gameplay.”
“Cute gameplay.”
“Way too many ads. It's a cute run-of-the-mill game, but like so many others, it's chock-full of ads. If I can choose to watch an ad for an upgrade, fine, but forced ads between levels is a quick way off my device. I got to level 9, and by that time, I was already fed up. I've got no time for ad city when all I want to do is play a game, not watch double ads all the time with a small amount of gameplay in between the ads. No thanks.”
“About the 17th time it interrupts gameplay and forces me to look at my current standings. I want to rage quit.”
“Less than 1/5 of the time in the app is actually spent with gameplay.”
