Gameplay is significantly hindered by frequent and intrusive ads that disrupt the experience every couple of minutes, leading to frustration among players. While some users appreciate the game's features and challenges, the overwhelming presence of mid-game pop-ups detracts from overall enjoyment and immersion.
“This version of solitaire is my absolute favorite. I love the ability to look at stats and do the challenges, and of course, the gameplay is amazing, but I do have one major concern.”
“I don't mind ads at the start and the end, but when you interrupt my gameplay (especially when there are achievements based on your completion time), I get pretty annoyed.”
“Currency doesn't affect actual gameplay.”
“Too many ads interrupting gameplay every 2 minutes or so is driving me crazy. Or I can just play a different app of the exact same game with ads that don't pop up constantly in the middle of a round.”
“I don't mind them at the start and the end, but when you interrupt my gameplay (especially when there are achievements based on your completion time), I get pretty annoyed.”

Players appreciate the game's music, describing it as enjoyable and not overly intrusive. However, many express frustration with ads that disrupt their music playback, leading to a repetitive cycle of turning their music back on only to be interrupted again. Overall, while the music itself is well-received, the ad experience significantly detracts from the enjoyment.
“It is fun, the music's not bad and not overloaded with ads.”
“This is a fun game, different forms of songs, different form of solitaire, unusual than usual.”
“I wouldn't be so mad about the ads if it weren't for the fact that many of them turn off my music (not paused or muted, off completely). When I go back to my music app to turn it back on and then return to the game, I get another ad, rinse and repeat until I get an ad that won't turn off my music.”
“People really get tired of hearing the song and dance of ads and greed.”

The game suffers from significant performance issues, which users attribute to poor optimization and potentially bad coding, especially considering its simplicity as a card game. Many players recommend seeking alternatives due to these optimization shortcomings.
“The game is like many others of this genre, but it has severe performance issues for a 'simple' card game. I only tried it because I'm experimenting with some other unrelated thing; anyway, choose another, this one isn't good enough.”
“Edit in response to the dev's reply: it's not a problem with my RAM or my equipment for that matter; it's probably simply a poor optimization of your game/app or, even worse, bad coding!”
