The monetization aspect of the game has drawn mixed reactions from users. Initially praised for being ad-free, the introduction of intrusive ads after every game has frustrated many players, leading to a decline in satisfaction. While some users appreciate the option to pay for an ad-free experience, the subscription model has been criticized as excessive, with many expressing a preference for a one-time purchase instead. Overall, the shift to a monetization strategy involving ads has significantly impacted the game's reception.
“I genuinely loved such a cute, well put together game of solitaire with no ads or requirement to pay for an ad-free experience for once in an app.”
“No ads, no nonsense, just solitaire with cute visuals.”
“The fact that there are no ads makes it easy to get sucked away and accidentally play for hours, also nice if you can't fall asleep.”
“It's sad to uninstall this due to abusive ads, before you got instant ads after every match, now you are forced to watch 30 seconds of ads after every game you do (which take between a minute and 3 minutes) adding that games are also a forced failure most of the time to throw you more ads.”
“I would have rated this app 5 stars before the update adding advertisements into the game. Now, with the introduction of ads, it has become just as annoying as the rest.”
“This was my favorite solitaire app because it was cute and didn't have ads. Now there are ads after every game.”
