Solitaire Associations Journey Game Reviews

Not a president and if you’re going to do it you better do it right.. I noticed that this game is not going to associate the current president and a president who has been in office twice! Over a bumbling idiot who was not a president! He never made public appearances and he never did anything significant. He hated half the country forced people to get jabs. Targeted the military to go after civilians after a hurricane! I will absolutely not be playing this game after today. And after this stunt. Have fun being on X. I don’t care if I am being petty. If it wasn’t Biden you guys chose I would have been ok that it wasn’t the current president who again has won twice. Do better! Should have made it non political by adding Washington or someone famous from the past. For a next time. Sad I really liked the game too.. but Biden never acted like a president even his own party thought he was tool.

Too short. I’ve been playing this on the bus for less than a month and I already ran out of levels. Don’t understand all the complaints. Yes, it does have a move count and frequently takes multiple tries to complete a level, but I’m disappointed that It’s so short and there’s no way to restart besides deleting it. Please add more levels and a reset button

Tbh it’s cool but not good. When I first downloaded this app, the advertisement that was shown for showed a simple game that all you had to do was find the words and what it associates with just like typical grouping or whatever I start playing the game. I haven’t even been playing it for a long and already I’m almost sick of it like I’m about to delete the game because on one hand level one was a little weird it didn’t let me beat it the first two times and when I had to ask for 10 more moves they gave me an ad which is understandable but even when I exited the game and came back in just decided to restart it was still giving me ads and giving me ad breaks every 30 seconds and furthermore when I got out of that level and got on level six, which is the current level started to get a lot more complicated than it should’ve all I wanted was a relaxing game that spelled, fun, and interesting. I wouldn’t say this is the exact game I would B looking for her cause I don’t even do solitaire and it might just be a skill issue, but it was not what I wanted. It’s not how I expected it to go and I’m already sick of the game and I haven’t even been on it for long.

Too many ads. I like the game, but there’s too many ads. And there’s not enough spaces to place your categories, so you wind up having to watch more ads constantly in order to get more moves. I understand that the app developer has to pay a $99 premium to Apple for their game to be in the App Store, but I just can’t justify the amount of ads wasting my time. I like the game, but will give it 3 stars because of the amount of ads you have to watch to effectively play the game ( it would get 5 stars if not for that, because I do like the game)

Good but it could be better. Fun game. These are suggestions to make it better. The Joker needs to be an available option at all times or at least once you get so far into a round. Also once a joker is used and one card is moved and there are no more moves, have the option to undo that move, not just to have to restart the whole thing again.

I like and hate this game.. It’s a decent game. And this fits right in with the kind of games I enjoy. However, I could only finish a match by watching 5+ ads for 10 moves each! Which wouldn’t be a problem, except instead of drawing the deck not counting against you, in this game it does! So if you draw and move 5 cards, there’s your 10 moves! Seriously y’all just want people to watch more ads. I’m on a level now that I’ve restarted 10 times! Cuz I’m not watching 5+ ads again, just to be forced to watch another for winning. Come on. I expected calm. Relaxing. Not 20 minutes of ads to play a level.

Nice game but….. In the ad that convinced me to download this game, it clearly stated “ no annoying ads”. This game starts without them, then at about level 10 they put an ad at the end of every level. To add a further irritation they interrupt the level with an “ad break”! I totally understand the purpose of having ads and I don’t begrudge that fact. But interrupting while you’re in a level is excessive. When my patience is used up I’ll be deleting this game…which is just about there!

Brain Game. I like games that can challenge me mentally and sharpen my skills. This game definitely does that. I’ve learned things that I didn’t know were associated with everyday things (like the names of types of winds) but I digress. I would give this game 4 stars but the ads after you complete a stack are annoying at best. I understand the purpose of the ads but if there was a way to make them less frequent, that would be great. Otherwise, I recommend this game.

Really enjoy the game but dislike repeating levels. I have had this game for a couple of weeks and have been really enjoying it! Unfortunately, I have noticed an issue that has occurred several times no matter what I try to fix it. I usually don’t close the app until I’ve finished the level I’m working on. I noticed when I do this, it makes me replay that level the next time I open the app. This has happened many times and the only way to prevent it seems to be to leave the app open in the background. Would love if this was fixed and it there was an option to remove ads.

LOVE ❤❤. I am addicted to this games now and play it everyday. This games is really guns and challenging, but I wish there were a little less adds. I get that a lot of games always have problems with adds but every time I get a long collum (sorry if I spelt it wrong I'm lazy 😪) and add pops up and I get mad whenbthat happens because I just want to finish the level. Any whooo thank you for this game and maybe reading this I love this game and you/y'all did a great job! Have a nice day, goodbye 👋👋.

Was Great Until…. I love love love this game! It’s different, slightly challenging, and perfect for someone who loves puzzles and word games. It was great with ads. It was even great with a significant increase in ads. However I’m so sad that it has switched to pay for play formatting. Was literally just saying how I loved how I don’t have to collect coins or wait for time to pass to get “more lives”. Then boom woke up and there it goes with coin packages and limited amounts of tries etc etc. Maybe it changed because I reached a certain level or it was a general app update. But this change in format will definitely deter my frequency in playing this game. Quite disappointed.

Way to many ads. There are way to many ads. For a few seconds of play time you have an ad. Something there’s ads the second you open the app and that’s long ads. 39-54 seconds had one that was like 3 mins. It’s a fun enough and I’d consider paying for ads free only there’s no option. So it’s literally forced to deal with ads. I’d be fine if it didn’t interfere with the game. I’m in the middle of trying to move a card and boom ad. Few seconds later another ad. I deal with like 6-8 ads per game depending on how long it takes me to play. I probably won’t be keeping the app because of the ads which is a shame because the game is super fun.

4 stars. This game is fun there some things that I would change about it. Like at the beginning it should ask you like what grade your in or how old you are that a way it knows what kind of words/ pictures to give you. But other than that it’s fun in all I love it. It challenges the brain. Plus it give you something to do when you don’t have anything to do.

T.M.. I love the game BUT will be deleting. There is a minimum of 3 ads per game and they are pretty long. If they are shortened or given the option to pay to stop the ads, I would probably come back. Not being able to get through one quick game without 3+ ads is unbearable for me. It’s so easy to move on to something else

Great Game! Ads are annoying…. I’m addicted to this game! I only took off a star because I wish there was a paid option where the ads could be removed. After a while, the ads become intrusive and annoying. Hey devs! I would totally pay for an option to remove all ads even if I had to pay monthly. Please consider this option.

Hmm... Okay. So the game premise is good and I enjoy playing but I hate, hate, hate the ads. There are so many that I spent more time waiting for them to end than I did actually playing the game. I looked for a no ads option, but there is none. I will look back on this game later to see if they have improved it. The ads play before, after, and during the game play. It is very annoying and detracts from the game play. Sorry, I have to rate it pretty low due to the ads and the lack of an option to get rid of them. When the ad opens in the middle of the game, it is very difficult to keep a train of thought going. The game does take some thought, so the distraction of the ads is just too much.

Lies about how many tries. This is a pretty interesting game but it can take many rounds to solve many of them. To get more turns you have to watch an ad. We all hate the ads but I try to deal with them. Until the game says watch an ad and get 10 tries but after you’ve watched the ad you only get 3 or 4. What the heck?!!!? Revisit: okay I figured out how the game counts moves and it’s ridiculous! In addition, when you get to higher levels they are impossible to solve and you can’t skip a level. There is a help button but it just tells you to keep trying. Have tried the same level several times with no success because of the way the game is structured. No attempts to win really give you any way to solve. Can’t get past my current level even though I’ve tried several times. Now it’s not fun, just frustrating! Delete!!

Frequent ad breaks need to go!. This game would be more enjoyable EXCEPT for the very frequent “ad breaks” they seem to pop up every time you complete a deck set. Are you kidding me? The game already makes you watch so many ads other ways so that is just selfishly not needed. They are just so frequent and annoying. Goes to show you this game is all about making money than catering to creating an enjoyable relaxing game for consumers. Customers come last here. My advice: remove that immediately otherwise someone else will come along and make a better version of this game without that included. They will out beat this version. Karma will come.

Very unique, needs a little. I love this game! It is one of a kind, which is unusual these days. It is so fun! However, it needs a few adjustments. One: the ads. If I just opened the game and move one card, it often launches an ad break. I realize there are programmed times, but if I’ve been playing for less than 20 seconds, I shouldn’t have an ad. Just far too many ad breaks. Secondly: there should be simple rewards or ways to earn things ahead of when you need them. Like, if you need a joker, it would be awesome if you could earn them ahead of time. Third: The hints are not hints. “Draw a card from the deck” does not help of I’ve gone through the deck twice to no avail. With these adjustments, this would easily be a 5-star game. I still recommend checking it out if you haven’t! But I hope the developers adjust some things going forward.

Amazing game. I really love this game! I’m obsessed with it! I highly recommend! Only thing I’d want added is definitions of the words so that it’s a bit easier to sort them. Other than that, the game is fun, addicting, and doesn’t have too much ads! I HATE it when games have way too much ads to the point it’s unplayable! I also think that the undos should be free and not that you have to watch a 30-second ad. Also, there’s this ad for a game called “Love” something that is pretty suggestive that keeps popping up.

Good concept. Done in British English so sometimes it is hard to get them the first time. And some words aren’t right at all—Topogram is a kind of x-ray, but in the game it matches “maps” (that’s a topograph) and Btight isn’t a word. “Bycicle” is one of the misspelled words. There are enough moves to finish a level. You can also restart a level once you get an idea of what some of the words go with. Would love to see a version of this where you could create your own sets for study and share them.

Ads, ads, ads…. Game is fun but the ads overwhelm. There’s no way to turn off the sound of most of the ads, and they are the loud kind that shout at you, plus they cut in and turn off whatever music or audiobook I was listening to. I was able to play offline for a while, which was better, but now the app locks after a short time when offline and won’t work until internet is restored to…yell another ad at me. Deleting game as I just wanted something different to do while listening to books and music. It would be a better game if the ads were at least silent.

Unskippable ads make for an unplayable game. There’s ad breaks literally in the middle of a level. I get maybe having one in between levels and even then, allow the player to at least play through a few levels before forcing them to sit through an ad. There’s not even an option to pay a small fee to get rid of ads forever. It’s unfortunate because I found the game just challenging and stimulating enough but I’m already bombarded with ads in every other area of my life. I’m not spending my precious free time sitting through more of them.

I like the game. I like this game but they are a few changes I’d like to see made. First I don’t like how we have amounts of moves in normal solitaire there aren’t an amount of moves. Second thing is I don’t like the ad breaks I don’t understand why they are a thing. And third maybe more themes and stuff. I love the graphics and quality! I also love the hints and undo button! Some of the stuff for the themes I don’t understand but it’s just helping me learn more! I love how you incorporate emojis and images too! I love the games and tho these improvements won’t be made the game will still be great!

Too many ads. The game is very fun, challenging and somewhat educational in learning some of the words that are associated with one another. But they set it up so no matter how well you play, in some levels you will not have enough moves to complete the level and will need to watch ads to be given more moves. Some you may only need ten extra moves. I just finished a level that required me to watch 6 ads. I did everything the way I should have done and there was no way I could have completed the level without those extra 60 moves. Also they randomly play ads in the middle of each level, sometimes two or three of them. And no way to pay to remove ads. So I’m deleting the game. It’s just a scam to make money on advertising.

No Sound?. I really like this game but there is no sound at all. The ads are a bit frequent $9.99 is a little high to have them removed or else I would pay. The gold in the game doesn’t seem to have any function but you can buy it with real money, what’s with that? My only complaint with the actual game itself more often than not is the amount of moves you get is not enough to complete a game without having to watch an ad to get more. I also end up having to use a joker a lot, because the category cards are underneath. If some of these things can be fixed especially the missing sound it will be an easy 5 stars.

Great concept. I really like the concept of this game. It makes me think about what I’m doing and not just the first thing that is available. If I need more moves, I can gain more by watching a short ad. The one downside is that it uses a move just to flip a card over. If you can then play the card it uses another move. I feel like I’m really only getting five moves because you can’t play the card without flipping it.

I can’t put it down. Wow! What a great game. I cannot understand the negative reviews. It’s a free game and there are rules. I read the reviews and the complaints are: too many ads. Not true! A free game has to make its money somewhere. The ads are at most 15 seconds long and are interspersed in the game. They are not at the end of the game which I find clever because it gets me playing the next level and hooks me in AND THEN there is a quick ad. The other complaint is it is too hard. NOT TRUE! It’s challenging entertaining and thought provoking. I like learning new words. And sometimes the associations take some thinking. And yes, less spaces above make you have to strategize. I think it’s a perfect game. I love it.

Could Be Enjoyable. Game could be fun but you’re watching the same 2/3 ads more than you are playing the actual game. You get so many moves to complete the game which is weird because every card you move is a move. You turn a card over from deck thats a move, you bring the card down to game thats a move, you undo the move yep thats a move, you move a card to a different column thats a move. Once you run out of moves you can get 10 more moves but first an ad, each time you get 10 more cards there’s an ad. When you get the moves but you have a stack of cards waiting to be play on header cards each card is a move. I counted one game how many moves it took to get 1 card to main card stack between 8-12 moves. Oh can’t forget if you play more than 6 plays you get an ad break and the same ad again. I would actually pay for no ads on this game and they need to adjust move count. I would consider coming back to play, but way too many of the same ad so I won’t be playing for awhile.

Fun and challenging. I love this game!! There are frequent advertisements but they are short ( maybe 15 sec) I personally haven’t been irritated because they are short. I did have trouble on level 26, took a couple days -needed a break and was thinking this is it-but I finally made it through and each game since has been pleasantly challenging. Thank you for this game.

Awful game. I HATE this game. It’s awful. You hardly ever get any coins at all. You run out of moves and are only given 10 extra moves when you watch ads but the problem is they give you a limited amount of times you can watch an ad to get more extra moves and with just 10 moves per ad, it’s not always enough to be able to get all the cards. You’re only allowed to use the joker once per level if you run out of possible combinations and if you get stuck again after using the joker, you’re screwed and have to restart. I’ve been stuck on a stupid level for the longest because I just keep getting cards that don’t match at all and the cards I actually need are buried under other cards that I can’t move until I clear the main ones. I got fed up being stuck in that same level having to restart it over and over again because if you wanna buy extra moves, it costs freaking 800 coins. I only had 500 because you only earn very little amount of coins so the amount you have increases super slowly. I don’t wanna play a game that irritates and frustrates me. I wanted a relaxing game and the game was fun at first until it got impossible to beat levels without coins for extra moves or using the joker. Being able to use the joker only once is awful. Also, they used to give 3 undo chances when you watched an ad. Now they took that away and only give you one. I’m tired of this greedy game and have deleted it from my iPad.

Great brain game. I love this game. It’s a great brain training game. The only issue I have with it is that in regular solitaire games, flipping the pile cards isn’t counted as 1 move for each of the upper pile cards, but in this game simply pulling from the main pile is considered a move each time you just pull from the main upper deck. If the creators took that feature away I’d give it 5 stars but it doesn’t follow the traditional solitaire rules in only that feature. Otherwise this is a great game.

Would 100% Buy This Game. I love word games and I love solitaire games - so this is the best of both worlds! It’s just challenging enough but not overly-difficult. It definitely gives my brain a work-out trying to determine which category each word fits into (sometimes there is more than one). The only thing I would want changed is to have the option to BUY and have no ads. I would purchase in a heartbeat!

Too many ads. The game is fun enough. It’s not super challenging, but sometimes I come up on words or symbols I don’t recognize which helps keep my interest. The problem is the sheer number of ads! Every time I finish a stack, I get another ad! There’s no ad-free option I’ve been able to find, and no way to earn hints or undo bonuses once you’ve used them up. You have to watch an ad every. single. time. The number of ads makes the game unplayable. After three days, I’m uninstalling. I would have happily just paid a for an ad-free version, but oh well!

Cute concept but this game makes u angry as soon as U realize the following:. U get 10 moves each level. It takes 1 move to select a card to move, & 1 move to place card in working pile. Then 1 move to place card where it belongs. That is 3 moves each card. I did not count how many cards there R to move but there is in my guess 50-75 cards. So taking the smaller number, u need 150 moves to play 1 level and they give u a whopping 10 moves. For the other 140 moves u get to watch the same ad 140 times. Sounds so fun right? Wrong! I play on an iPad. So I got my phone and played a different game til the ad was over. Even with that after 3 levels I said a no-no and deleted the game. I noted the maker of this game and I WILL NOT EVER play one of their games again. To me this was like buying an order of fries and finding out I have to pay an extra $2 when I eat each fry. NO THANK U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing else like it. This game is like nothing else out there. It’s challenging but not overwhelming. It makes you think but it’s not unconquerable. I’ve had to restart a few levels and I love that the cards are shuffled up when I do, so I can take what I know and use it to solve the level. I’ve been addicted to it since I got it. They don’t continually ask you for money. There are little ads that are so short, they’re over before you get bored. I highly recommend it.

Unfortunate. This is a really cool game and I would probably keep playing it but I’m afraid I’ll end up deleting it soon. You earn moves by watching commercials but you can only earn 10 at a time. This means that you are constantly watching commercials instead of playing and finishing the game. You need to be able to earn 25-40 moves in order to avoid the frustration of being stopped to watch another commercial. Sigh! Bad setup, Guys!

Improving. I’ve really enjoyed playing this game. A couple of small things that bug me: - ads in the middle of a game. I’ll watch an ad for hints or reverses during a game if I’m stuck but the ads in the middle of a round are a pain and I can see how some people wouldn’t continue playing. - the ongoing reminder of not being able to stack cards if they aren’t in the same category. I’m aware, I can figure out they aren’t in the same category when it didn’t stay in the stack, the reminder is redundant.

Good game is ad-driven. Frustrating game because concept is great but too many ads with NO OPTION to purchase ad-free version. Ads play before each level, 2-3 times during every level, when you finish a level, and any time you need more turns in a level. Each ad requires 5-6 clicks and up to 30 seconds to remove. Devs who do this end up losing money in the long run. Give players the option to purchase your game without ads!!!!! Stupid. Update: As the game progresses and you reach a certain level, you are not given enough turns to complete the level, about 20 turns short. This requires watching an additional FOUR ads to complete a level. These devs are idiots. Actively Driving dollars from players away. You know which games are making millions?? AD FREE GAMES. And… GAMES YOU CAN PAY TO REMOVE ADS.

Love the game, hate the ‘moves’. Love playing the game with pretty much only one complaint so far. Everything is a move, including turning over a card to play. With a limited amount of moves given, you either have to start over or watch several ads to get 10 cards - which can end up being 15+ moves - finished up. Meaning that at the end of the game you’re watching 3-5 ads. Thinking another game would be more fun at this point. I had 1 card left and had to watch a 60 second ad - or restart to know I’ll have to watch more because you can’t finish a game ever. This is why I’m giving it a 2 star rating. I understand this is how developers get paid, but turning over a card TO play should not be a move.

Loved it at first..... But once I played the same level well over 15 times and still haven't gotten past it due to having no room and no option to move stuff around, I've chosen to let this app go. Has a lot of potential, I just wish there was an extra spot or you're able to put things under the golden ones while mixed in the deck (that's the biggest issue - it completely cancels out that column so you can't use it) (Adding a new comment - I really hope y'all read this) I decided to redownload to try it out again. I've restarted this level over 15+ times (not exaggerating) due to being unable to move the gold ones around, or to just set something in another column for one turn. I almost had it done, but one thing prevented me. We need to be able to put things under the gold ones when they're in the deck (not the main 4 at the top, mixed in) PLEASE fix this and my review would go to a 5 star without a doubt.

Why so many ads?. It’s a very fun game, with challenges but not so hard that you give up. I truly enjoy playing the game. I feel like expanded my vocabulary. The one thing I have a problem with is there are so many ads. Oh, you win the game? Here’s an ad! Oh, you just completed a stack? Here’s an ad! Oh, you’re in the middle of moving a tile? HERE’S AN AD!!! I swear, I watched 7 ads while playing one level…. All unwarranted. Please change that. I’ll pay $1.99 for zero ads.

Good start. Needs some tweaks.. I love the concept of this game. It’s a unique take on classic solitaire. However, each game is supposed to be completed in a certain number of moves. But you have to play nearly perfectly in order to do so. If you run out of moves you have the choice to restart the game with the same cards but shuffled, or you can watch an ad for 10 more moves. 10 can moves sounds like a lot when just turning a card from the deck is a move, those 10 moves disappear in no time and you might have to watch 2-3 ads just to finish your last 2 categories. There’s also ad breaks in the middle of the game and no in-game purchase options to eliminate ads. Overall, I enjoy the concept of the game but eventually it will try my patience to the point of not playing anymore unless there are some real changes.

Love it!. I’ve been playing this for a few days, and I love it! I’m on level 1530 on their other game, Connect Word, and this one is great so far too. If you like being challenged, then this game’s for you. It sometimes takes a few tries to complete a level, but in my opinion that makes it more fun. Thanks for making another great game :)

Inappropriate. I’ve been having a great time playing this game. The levels are challenging yet fun. So much so that even if you don’t win the round you still want to restart to take another crack at it! However, My disappointment comes with this being marketed to ages for 4+. The solitaire categories in this game often offer suggestive themes of witchcraft, horror, aliens, tarot etc. All of which I wouldn’t want my children, nor I frankly, to be exposed to. NOT TO MENTION the ads are super sexual for example; Alpha Wolf and the Virgin: a three page story for you to read while the ad plays (I’ll spare the details of how graphic the stories have been). Also shirtless men often posed for these ads, numerous different stories of sexual fantasies and themes. And the ads are frequent. All extremely inappropriate. For both of these reasons I will be deleting the game. What could have been a harmless and fun game has been made weird and sexual for honestly no good reason.

Very fun and different- but too many ads. This game is a lot of fun I always love word association games as it helps me learn more and keeps me challenged but in a fun way. However there are too many ads, having them in the middle of the game is frustrating and makes me close out of the game and not want to play. Also having the message that the card isn’t in that category is redundant as I see it isn’t if it won’t go there. Recommend this game but also get rid of all the ads or have a pay option!

Unnecessarily hard. For this game to be four years old and up is completely unreasonable because there are far too many ads, not even an option to pay two or three dollars to take the ads off. I’ve been on level 21 for almost 2 days and cannot beat it no matter what I do. I don’t know what the algorithm is to get the Joker But it pops up whenever it wants to and continues to allow me to get 10 more turns instead of just giving me the joker when there’s absolutely no moves to be made so the game is very frustrating.

Fun and challenging. I am currently stuck on Level 121. I truly do not see a way to beat it. Most of the time I get stuck and the couple of times I had momentum I ran out of moves prematurely. There needs to be a couple of Jokers for levels like these. Up until now I have found they game both challenging and relaxing. I play on my IPad with WI-FI turned off and that limits the ads. I definitely hate when the ads interrupt a hand. Turning off the Wi-Fi has improved the quality of my game time for sure but you can not use hints or Jokers without watching ads so you need that extra help you’ll need to keep that in mind. I refuse to use hints just to avoid ads. The ad-free version is so expensive! A shame too because it is almost worth buying.

It’s my favorite game!. I saw an ad for this game while playing something else and it caught my eye. I am so glad I saw that ad because I have played this game almost nonstop since downloading it! It’s challenging, but not over-the-top. Gameplay is simple and easy to catch on (I mean, it’s solitaire…). The occasional ads aren’t super invasive and obnoxious. There’s not a million different “quests” or “challenges” or “games-within-the-game” type things, it’s just solitaire. The app is simple and straight to the point, you open it and click play. Dare I say, it’s the perfect game.

Very much enjoying this, just wish there was an option to remove ads.. I like that this game doesn't have lives and just allows you to retry levels until you beat them. It's a fun use of my time when I don't have anything else to do, and it's nice that higher levels seem to increase the difficulty by getting rid of spots to place a card stack. Only issue is in the title. A clearly labeled option somewhere to remove ads (preferably one that's cheap) would be fantastic.

Over the adds. I liked the concept of the game but over the constant frozen adds so deleted

Game. Need to be no breaks it annoying but the game amazing n different n challenging

Fun. Fun game that uses the grey matter but WAY TOO MANY ADVERTS!!

Solitaire Associations: Words. This game is so fun and it barely has any adds. It has adds but not as often as usual adds which are good and also I like that it’s not super hard but it’s a bit challenging sometimes and I like the game you guys should download it if you haven’t already:)

Word Solitaire: Associations. I love this game! I think you should improve the hardness. It is a bit too hard for kids 4-10

Good. I like it but it starts off so hard!

Frustrating doing over and over. This game could be really good and awesome to play as it has its merits. But it should have an option to add another column or something. Sometimes you have to do the same level over and over and over because you are unable to match before running out of moves. In order to add moves you’re slammed with ads. Even if you get more moves the majority of time you have to restart to reshuffle the categories. More frustrating than fun.

Harder than you think. Really thought this would be another one of those games that was always easy and a time waster, but some of the words in the groups are new and interesting. Will continue playing great game

WAY too many ads.. The game is fun enough, but ads before, DURING and after each level is ridiculous. Probably will delete.

Great game, annoying ads you can’t turn off. Great game but needs to be option to buy the game to not see ads - there are many ads and they are long and consistently interrupt game play

So many ads. I like the game but tired of getting interrupted by ads. Please make a way to remove then

Would love an option to remove ads. This game is a lot of fun and mentally challenging. Ads are frustratingly long though.

Great game. Too many adds compared to a normal solitaire game

DONT DOWNLOAD THIS!. The game makes a beeping sound and says scanning device, so I’m pretty sure they’re phishing or something.

Enjoyable game, annoying ads. This is a great game and there doesn’t seem to be others like it, but the ads are so annoying and there is no option to pay to remove them.

Too many ads. Too many ads

Way too many ads!. Love the concept of the game but there are WAY too many ads! Every 30 seconds or 10 moves. Can’t even get though a game without many ads.

Love it but….. The ads drive me crazy. Would pay to have the ads removed!!

Too many adds. Way too many adds, but the game is enjoyable

Love it but hard. Love the game but there is not enough moves

Nope. WAY too many ads. Love the concept, deleted the game.

Ads. Has potential but ads in the middle of trying to play a level ruin the experience. Keeps ads to in between levels not during

Unfair for left handlers. I would like to see an option for left handlers, you forget what you are looking for as your hand blocks the headings. Otherwise it’s a good game to kill time.

Like game, hate the ads. Can’t remove adds

Fun but too many ads. Fun game. But way too many ads. So I won't stick to it once the novelty wears off

Shouldn’t have been released. While a great concept and enjoyable it has very limited levels and the contact info is not legit

Fun Game. It’s a fun game, I’m already kind of addicted and it’s also just really chill. There’s a few adds but it’s a free game so totally reasonable. It’s great to chill out to and makes you think a little bit so it doesn’t feel like mindless playing. 10/10 recommend

mid level ads ruin everything. the game itself is pretty fun but i got to level 6 and suddenly it started forcing mid level ads on me so this is where i quit and uninstall. i’m not going to turn my phone to airplane mode just for this game. ads are always annoying but while im the middle of a level is especially heinous

very fun for a 20 year old. fun to play while watching a tv show

More levels please!!!. I love this game so much!! No ads of you play without internet (or even just turn off internet for the game itself in settings) I’ve already played through all the levels twice and would love to see more !!

Great, but…. Great game, fun and addicting but the ads are way too long! And way too often!

Unfair. From the 2nd round you don’t get enough turns to physically go through the deck, you immediately have to watch ads to get extra turns. Total scam

great concept, intellectually stimulating - get a grip on the ads.. I was enjoying this game a lot, and I can sympathise with the need for a company who is obviously putting a lot of work in to create revenue, but to make the game completely obsolete without an internet connection - something that was not the case prior to the most recent update so it is quite clearly not necessary for its functioning - completely takes away from an ios game. a huge benefit of having phone games is for recreation and leisure when you are away from your home wifi connection, and as a zoomer, ios games that were functional without internet were my saving grace on long road trips in and out of internet service. Further, the amount of ads that this EXTREMELY simple game funnels at you is outlandish. I would be much happier if there were an ad after each level, or ads to access power ups, but the fact that you can get multiple ads in the middle of a game is ridiculous and overkill. The internet is dying. Let us game freely.

the only thing.... its the Ads... mmmm

Great game…but. Great game but I wish there was an option to pay to remove the ads. I’d be on a roll and an ad pops up.

KTM. Good game but Too many adds

I see nothing wrong. This game is so fun

Good Game But too many ads. I like this game. The categories are interesting and I've learnt some things along the way. However there are too many adverts and no way to get rid of them. Would rate higher if that was an option

Love the game. Too many ads. Love this game so addictive, but way too many ads would love developers to get rid of ads would be willing to pay to have them removed like my other favourite games.

So good. Love this game! Just wish there was an option to purchase no ads, because I absolutely would for this game.

SO MANY ADS. The ads send me insane, I would pay to remove them if I could. I love this game but the ads make it not worth playing 😔

Stop complaining. Bruh don’t complain about “too many ads” the game works fine without internet, just turn it off and whizz through them - a helpful gamer

Move count makes it terrible. This could be a great game if there was an option to turn off that pointless move count.

Love this game!!!. This is a brilliant game. I love the categories. Thank you for a really fun game.

Soooo many ads. Nice idea but several ads per level is insane.

Review. I love to play this game. Only problem is. I dont like the ad breaks. 😔

Too many ads. Deleted.. Ad after each few moves… very annoying

Ads ruin it. It's great not timed but you have ads pop up while playing and again after you finish a round.

Fun but the ads. I’m really enjoying this game but I hate the ads in the middle of a game would prefer them at the end of a completed game

Ad fest. 10 ads in one game or more It’s an ad fest The only good thing about the ad fest is I’m surprise there are decent amount of different ads not like some games that keeps repeating the same ads but eventually it still rotates back to the same ads but plenty of new ones I never seen before but still way too many adds can’t even finish 1 level without interruption, there’s atleast 6 or 7 ads in one game level As fun and as simple the game may be the ads is frustrating Enough to put you off to never support this developer ever

Time sink and adslop. There are just way too many ads. There are atleast 3 ads per game. The ads themselves are also prolonged because you have to press the “x” 3 times. Without ads the gameplay just sucks you might like it for a few games but the difficulty does ramp up quite a bit and unless you get really good luck you probably will not win. It’s a game genuinely made to take your time and spend it watching ads or spend money. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ELIMINATING ADS the game is not designed for you to win. The game honestly sucks only because the devs made it so. If only they would spend time rethinking their monetization the game is just bottom of the barrel mobile slop.

the new update ruined the game. The game used to be addictive and relaxing. The new update ruined everything

Not passable. By level 11 they do not give you enough moves to be able to finish the level. Turning a card from the deck should not use a move. Too bad as I liked the game otherwise

New Update. The new update with the keys and locks really ruined the game, the game was perfect before, was highly addicting, can hardly make it through a level now and it’s just frustrating.

Ads!!!!. I get that developers need the ad revenue, I support it. I’m happy to have “Ad Breaks” as they call it. But when you create levels that aren’t solvable without watching multiple 1+ minute ads, I can’t do it. The game concept is great, the execution is pure greed!

Too many Ads. I can’t even play this at level 5 it opens with an ad I can’t close what a rip off. I understand I can pay for no ads but $12.99 is steep where other games are $3.99 for no ads. I’ve moved on

Too many ads!. You get a number of ads before levels, during levels and after…plus a persistent ad banner at the bottom of the screen. This goes beyond “keeping the game free” and ruins the game. Not worth the download unless you want to be frustrated!

Useless update. The game was really great until the new update where they added "lives", just another cash grab like every other game now, don't think i'll continue playing.

Read the room!. Locked stacks of cards? We are playing to relax!!

new update. the new update with the locked cards ruined it its almost impossible it was perfect how it was before

Only one issue…. Is there anyways to go ad free? I understand ads in between levels but the constant interruptions during game play is so intrusive. I don’t see anywhere on the game where I can stop adds or upgrade to ad free. Other than that I love the game, but that is a BIG deterrent that limits how long I want to spend playing it.

ADS!!!!. I want to like this game, I really do, but the ads are too much. And don’t come at me with the, “To keep our game free we gotta put ads in.”, you don’t need this many. I get an ad every 2 minutes of playing a round! You also get one before the next round, middle of the round, completing a deck. It’s too much! My gameplay is ad watching. If I want to watch ads I’d go to YouTube and watch them. The limited moves are also ridiculous, there’s clearly not enough moves to finish some of the rounds, so you’re forced to watch an ad.

Too many long ads. Wayyyy too many LONG ads! I get you need ads to make it free but there are too many per game and some ads are unbelievably long!! Going to look for an alternative similar game!

Love it. Such a fun game and super addicting. Learning new words with this app too. There are a lot of ads tho, but other than that such a good game!! 😆

Please remove the lives. I love this game, would’ve given 5 stars. I loved the progression of the game, it felt fair. The keys and locks made it more difficult but wasn’t needed, still addicting. Adding the lives system has completely changed it, this wasn’t an “improvement” I tolerated the ad’s for hours of play. I’ll be deleting the game now as it’s too much now. Sincerely level 231

Card unlock levels. I got addicted to this game. I suffer through watching the many ads. I’m now on level 83 where they introduce the cards with a lock on them that you can’t use until you get the card with a key on it. It is impossible to beat with the amount of moves given. Most times I’ve tried to beat it you run out of options before you run out of moves. I’m wondering if anyone has made it past this point I’m so confused. There has been levels I’ve had to play multiple times before beating but this truly seems impossible unless the cards get dealt perfectly

Please change it back. I was loving this game, over 900 levels; but after the update, there is now most levels with the locked card function. Can there at least please be an option to turn that off?

Too many fkn ads kys. Ban ads

Too complicated. The ads said it was a fun picture game with picture cards but it’s just a buncha words like Wakame and Barley, I don’t even understand what words are!

Ads. Too many ads and they are too long and too repetitive. The ads are glitchy and will not always quit.

Get rid of the lives and locks. I used to love this game, I would play it for hours. When I got stuck on a level I could keep playing until I finished it. I absolutely hate that theyve added lives. Some levels are hard I’m stuck on them for 10+ rounds. Now with the locked columns levels are 10x harder to finish because of the limited amount of moves. Very unhappy with these new updates.

Too many ads. It’s a good game and I really enjoyed it but the ads are way too much. Why are there ads during the level? Should be at beginning and end of each leverl

Steer away. Terrible ad watching game

New lock and key feature sucks. I LOVED this game, enough to buy ad free, but this new update with locks on certain cards and keys hidden deep in stacks has made the game frustrating instead of fun. Which is a super bummer.

Impossible to win without watching ADS. Ad break? Can’t get the right cards without watching an AD is ridiculous

Too many ads. Too many ads and no ad-free option. Ads play multiple times in the middle of a game. Deleting after one day. Found a better alternative.

Ads. Good lord if I could give this 0 I would. In one round I had 3 ad breaks and then an ad at the end and an ad before the next game. Like damn. Can you chill?

The new update ruined it. I’ve become obsessed with playing this game during my breaks at work, but the new update with the locked cards has made it impossible and frustrating. I’m glad to see other recent reviews saying the same thing, I hope they change it back.

Update. The new update with the keys is terrible. Makes the game completely less fun and almost impossible. Please change it back. It was my favourite game and now it’s horrible.

More ads than game. The game concept is good. But too many ads. You spend more time watching ads than playing the game. You can pay a reasonable price to remove ads. But you still end up watching too many ads even after paying. It’s even more annoying when the ads crash the game after you’ve paid.

Short ads can still be effective. It’s an interesting game but the adds are too long so I don’t bother to play much. Additionally, it demands too much currency for 10 moves and currency generation is slow - eg. You get 50 coins for completing one game but need to pay 1500 coins for an extra 10 moves or watch a 90 second. It’s 1200 coins for an assist. Finally, I appreciate that the developers need income but people are likely to put the phone assign for an overly long ad, rendering the advertising value for the advertiser ineffective.

Terrible Changes. Loved playing this game mindlessly to unwind, but the new locks and limited lives have ruined it for me. There have always been way too many ad breaks.

Great concept. I actually love the game itself but having to watch 3 ads per level is too annoying to justify spending any time playing.

Ads. Whoever thought it was a good idea to have an ad break in the middle of gameplay should be fired. Impossible to enjoy.

Fun but….. The amount of ads is crazy. Deleted

ads. ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads

New changes have ruined the gameplay.. The new changes to the way you play, especially in regards to having locked areas in the stacks, have made it extremely difficult to finish a level without watching an add to get more moves. I’ve been playing for quite a while now, I’m on level 1041, and I am beyond frustrated having to play the same level over and over because I run out of moves or am stuck with no moves to make since this change. I’d rather go play a game I can actually enjoy. You obviously don’t get the point I’m trying to make. The options are now pay/watch ads or replay the same level over and over again. Having an average of two ads a level was annoying, this is just greedy now. I’ll go find a similar game that doesn’t try to wring as much money out of its players as it can.

disgusting money grab. this game is the absolute worst. the idea behind it is so fun but it's such a money grab because once you get to level 3 you physically cannot complete the levels without watching ads to get more moves, and they're all over a minute long. i don't care if you 'need them to be free', just make your game not rigged the very freaking least.

A scam. Too many categories for so little moves. Yes you can watch ads and use coins, but you can only watch 9 ads per day and that only gives 10 moves and coins have to be paid. You can get 500 coins for an ad or two but then that’s it, when adding moves with coins cost 1500 coins. Not worth it.

Locks. Absolutely hate the locks that were added. Ruined the game.

Lives and Locked Cards Ruined the Game. I’ve loved this game for several months now, the ads have never been an issue for me because I understand it makes the game free. I’ve made it to level 731 and have even put a few friends onto the game but with the lives and locked cards update the game isn’t fun at all anymore which is disappointing because I genuinely really enjoyed it.

Mid level ads are a joke. I’ve played many games where you have to watch an ad between levels, but to have a level stop during actual game play for an ad is ridiculous. Worst game I have EVER played because of that.

Recent changes ruined this game. You made such a good, simple, addicting game and then went and ruined it by adding the use of “hearts” whenever a player wants to restart. Having a set number of moves is enough of a parameter to play the game in. Then you add these ridiculous locks and keys too? Whoever decided on these changes is a moron. Such stupid, stupid decisions. I’m so tired of every developer ruining a good thing because of their GREED or lack of understanding of their audience. AND THE ADS. My god. I reached over 150 levels and will be deleting the game because of these changes. Players be warned. It’s not fun anymore and you will get an ad every minute.

Great ads. Nothing better than constant ads, some of which never end. hottip: the moment an ad pops up, close the game and reopen, save yourself some time

Too may ads. This is a fairly simple game where you use word associations rather than card suits to complete solitaire games. Unfortunately, it is yet another freemium pile that has far, far too may ads ruining the experience. There are ads between stages, and multiple ads per game stage. If you run out of moves (which the game is designed to have you do, often), you have to watch an ad for more moves, which probably won’t be enough to finish the level, and then you have to watch another ad for more moves. There is a paid option to remove ads, which is $12.99, which is an absurd amount of money for a time sink phone game. Find a better game that respects your time.

More ads than Game. The amount of ad time while trying to play this game is abysmal. Can’t even get through one round without 1-4 ads coming up. There are an absurd amount of ads in this game, super disappointing. Edit in response to the dev comment: This review is based on selecting the no-ads setting and yet being inundated with ads regardless.

ADS! and more ads!. Seriously frustrating how many ads! I will delete this app that has the potential to be fun!!!

Uses a slur as a category. Level 186 uses a slur against Romani people as a category.

Used to like it. This game used to be fun and challenging. The random ads were annoying but it’s a free game so I get it. But the locks and keys have wrecked the game for me. I don’t play any more.

New mode!. Please add an unlimited moves mode!! I love this game but I just want to relax and enjoy the game without worrying about running out of moves.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

It was great until they made it impossible. They added a system of locked card stacks that you unlock with by getting keys inside the decks. I’ve literally had situations where the puzzle is impossible - the category cards were under the locks blocked by the same category. When you are on a 5-deck level three decks are blocked. It’s impossible to succeed through skill and you end up watching tons and tons of ads trying to get through it. Problem is there’s only 9 ads a day before you start spending money. This game was AMAAAAAAAAAZIINNNGGGGG before this change, plenty of ads when your cards aren’t convenient but it was possible to succeed through skill even on 5 deck levels. I have completed over 1000 hands in this game, no joke, it’s great, they just need to lose the dang locks on 5 deck levels or give twice the amount of moves.

Don’t bother with this one. I’m updating my initially mixed review because after a couple weeks of play, the game changed — I’m not sure whether it was due to an update, or just a “feature” that kicks in after so many levels, but I’m now being charged a “life” every time I have to restart a level. Given how many tries it can take to get a winnable deal, this means the game is only really playable at all if you want to pour a constant stream of money into cheat tools or extra lives, rather than just shelling out for the occasional shortcut. For people who want to invest that heavily in their mobile gaming, there are other games in this class with much better art and editing. The fact that this app was relatively restrained in the effort to separate players from their money had been what set it apart as an option for more casual spenders, but now I would say that there’s no reason at all to bother with it. I’m especially frustrated because I paid for ad-free access to the game shortly before the limited-lives mechanism showed up, so now I’m feeling bait-and-switched. ORIGINAL REVIEW FOLLOWS: Engaging gameplay. Some puzzles are nearly impossible to complete without restarting a couple dozen times (or, you know, spending money for extra moves), but if you don’t mind a lot of repetition, you will get lucky eventually, and there’s no “limited lives” mechanism to force you to pay to keep trying. I wish the graphics weren’t quite so low-rent, but the UI is straightforward, and it runs smoothly with no tech glitches that I’ve noticed. My biggest issue, however, is that it’s riddled with spelling errors and weird usages — for example, category titles like “deli” to mean “delicacy” or “psycho” for “psychology.” Feels like it’s produced by non-native English speakers, or just machine-generated and then not proofread adequately. Unfortunate for a game that advertises itself as a tool for vocabulary-building.

Ruined Potential. It would be a great game but there are many flaws. Firstly, you’re limited by a move counter. If you don’t finish the puzzle in so many moves, you have to either restart or watch ads (more on that later). The big issue with this is that you’re at the mercy of the deck and how it randomly gives you cards. You could get everything in one go and escape relatively ad free or you could be stuck on one level and watch an entire movie before finishing it. But honestly it doesn’t even come down to the randomness of the deck. It seems (only speculation but come on it’s like saying it looks like it’s about to rain when there’s a hurricane on radar), that this game is designed to keep the player on an ad screen. I’ve played many free games and I get that this is the standard, but I’ve never seen more ads in a mobile game than this one. From the “ad breaks” after every completed card set (not the levels but the individual sets that are in each level. Anywhere from 3 to 6 categories) to constantly having to watch ads to get more moves. Even after watching one ad (usually 30-60 seconds) it only gives you 10 additional moves to finish the puzzle. Most of the time, that amount to complete the puzzle would be the equivalent to your parents giving you a screwdriver to resurface a road. I might be ranting and I apologize but it just seems that this game is set up to make the user watch more ads than actually play (yes I know free game = ad). But this game makes other apps look ad starved. It’s a great concept and all but it’s set us up to watch more ads than play. Making it unplayable. And before I hear, “tHeReS aN aD fReE OpTiOn!” Ive seen reviews of people who have bought the ad free option, but still end up watching a ton of ads all because the move counter is so lower and they need more moves. If the move counter was removed entirely forcing just slightly less ad time, I’d be glued to this game for hours. It’s just upsetting how such a great idea has to be the most ad plagued game I’ve come across.

Almost unplayable. I had three ads pop up during ONE LEVEL. I get in between levels, but during a level takes you out of the enjoyment. The number of moves you can make during the level is very small compared to the amount of cards there are, so you better hope luck is on your side, because otherwise you might have two or three moves left to get extra coins. You only get 50 coins plus the number of moves you have left per level, yet it takes 1,500 coins to add ten moves to a difficult level (which is the only thing you spend it on as far as I can see), or you can watch yet another ad. This game has so many ads it’s just not worth the time. They do have a no ad paid option (which I have used in other games), but this is not a $10 game, so it’s easier to just delete. Especially since the amount of ads in the middle of a level feels like they are trying to force you to pay.

Seriously, so many ads. The buttons for the skip and close also don’t work properly.. I know they need to make a profit, but $10 for add free is a lot to ask when other games are usually like $5 at most. It’s also set up so you’ll most likely need to add more moves at the end, unless you get lucky. I feel like my vocabulary and word association is pretty good, and I usually only have enough moves to complete a level 50% of the time. The ads also don’t skip correctly, so once you click the X or the skip button, it just opens into the App Store. That doesn’t seem like it should be allowed. This game is a lot of fun otherwise, but the ads are enough to be a dealbreaker for me. They’re also often those ones with the freezing kid and mom, which plays really loud, seemingly inappropriate sounds randomly. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll keep this app.

Great game!. Love the game have been playing for a month. The developers have added new features like the ad removal and limited ads for extra moves. It’s been really fun to play so far and I’m fine with the amount of ads in game. I know exactly when to expect an ad so it doesn’t bother me. For some reason since the last update there has been an ad for bras that pops up from the bottom of the screen, it covers the entire screen. It only plays for about 10 seconds but it’s really annoying because it takes over the screen and it does it every 2 minutes. It’s also annoying because I have a random video of BREASTS playing. I can’t find a way to get it to stop. I don’t really want to pay for ad removal I’m fine with the normal ads I just can’t stop this one. I might delete if I can’t get it solved.

Waaaaaay too many ads. Honestly, pretty fun game but, in an effort to get every penny they can, this game is ROTTEN WITH ADS. Close out a tableau or stack? Get an ad. Gone more than 2 minutes without an ad? Random ad to interrupt your gameplay. Starting a new game? Ad. It genuinely feels more like a commercial stream with occasional gameplay rather than a game that has some ads. Ads between games? Sure, fine, whatever. But the fact that a single game of solitaire will have you watching at best a dozen Kalshi ads is deplorable. Find a similar game (there are dozens) that has less ads and you’ll thank me later. If I could give this game a negative review for all the ads they smash into this game, I would. Lastly, these aren’t quick pop up ads. They’re full-blown 15-30 second ads for the first couple during gameplay and then they start hitting you with the full 1-minute ads towards the end. In a single game of solitaire, you’ll probably watch about 5 minutes of ads and that’s a conservative estimate.

Fraud. EDIT: There’s other games on the App Store just like this without the awful updates! Everyone go play those instead I found this game before the lock update and the lives update. It was a fun mind game and I showed it to my family members. They all liked it and downloaded it, getting to level 900+. After these updates the game is less than worthless. All of the positive reviews are from before these updates. Everyone in my family has deleted it. Whoever had this bright idea should be fired. The developers have ruined it beyond repair. It’s clear from the developers’ repetitive response to all of these complaints that they don’t care. “The lock and key update is a new feature of the game and cannot be turned off or skipped” Yeah, that’s what we’re angry about, Sherlock Holmes. “This is a free game and ads are how we keep it accessible for everyone” No. That response would have worked before these updates, but now you’re getting greedy. The game is unplayable because of the fundamental changes you’ve made in the attempt to squeeze every dime out of your customers. All the people who paid for ad-free and now have to watch ads to continue game play should sue you for fraud. You’ve bait and switched people and are doubling down on your game-ruining decisions instead of listening to the countless negative reviews. I guess you’ll listen when you burn through all the previous goodwill and your App Store rating finally tanks.

Stingy w/Moves & Inundate you w/ADS!. There are seriously not enough moves given for each level. It basically takes 2 moves to play each card from the top deck - 1 to flip it over and then another to place it. That’s excessive and there’s not enough of an allowance for that in the total moves. And wowwww… the number of ads is absurd. Not only do you have to watch one to play a round, they throw a couple in at different times IN the round! Also, took me a bit to find where I could pay to remove the ads, but it’s hidden in the coin section. However, I’m not paying $9.99 to skip the ads. Way too many other games to fill my time that have less or no ads, or charge less than $5 to remove them. Otherwise, it’s challenging enough. And I did like playing it in between watching ads.

Problem with game design. I like the game concept. Im having issues constantly with running out of moves. It seems almost intentional to get players to watch ads over and over again. I do win occasionally without using the joker cards and watching ads but it just feels like the game is trying to drag me back into it. I realized when you restart a level it’s all randomized. This is a big problem. Because there’s never a fair chance I will win without having to spend coins / watch ads. It’s irritating. I keep reinstalling after deleting because I do enjoy the game but it’s unfair and frustrating when I always have to use hints and watching ads over and over again with (estimation I don’t actually know) 1-20 levels being a break from that. Please fix the game developers 💔

I like it, but…. Ok, so it IS a great game! I love the style, the challenge, and the overall game play! I don’t mind watching ads for more moves, or for clues, and I don’t even mind an ad between levels. The problem is, there are “Ad Breaks” in the middle of game play! I know this is how you make money, but they really are excessive and intrusive. I also would not have a problem to pay to get rid of ads to help a developer. However, $10 is rather steep for casual game. I’d gladly pay $5 or $6 even, but I can’t really justify the larger price tag. If there aren’t any changes made, I’m going to have to lower my review, and sadly, delete the game. Developers, please consider lowering the Ad Free purchase amount? or maybe add a infinite moves purchase option? I would pay $10 to remove ads and have infinite moves.

Fun and makes you think but . . .. I finally downloaded this after watching a few ads. Fun game and certain words could go into one or more categories. So far, there isn’t a penalty for guessing incorrectly. I’m giving it 4 stars for the number of ads. You can’t get through one puzzle without it stopping for an ‘ad break’. Optioning out of ads is $9.99 but I like to play a while before making the purchase. When you run out of turns, you need to watch an ad to get 10 more moves, regardless of paying or not. You will need to do this when the levels get harder. So, paying allows you to not watch an ad midstream, but you still need to watch one to get more moves. Then it will eliminate the in between games ads. Pay $10 and watch one ad per game or don’t pay and watch 3 ads per game. Either way, it’s not my desired outcome.

Good start. Needs some tweaks.. I love the concept of this game. It’s a unique take on classic solitaire. However, each game is supposed to be completed in a certain number of moves. But you have to play nearly perfectly in order to do so. If you run out of moves you have the choice to restart the game with the same cards but shuffled, or you can watch an ad for 10 more moves. 10 can moves sounds like a lot when just turning a card from the deck is a move, those 10 moves disappear in no time and you might have to watch 2-3 ads just to finish your last 2 categories. There’s also ad breaks in the middle of the game and no in-game purchase options to eliminate ads. Overall, I enjoy the concept of the game but eventually it will try my patience to the point of not playing anymore unless there are some real changes.

Amount of ads. The amount of ads in this game genuinely makes the game unplayable. I know to y’all, it’s “necessary” to make the game free, but the amount genuinely messes up the flow of the game, not to mention that after a point, you literally have to pay to play because the amount of moves they give you isn’t enough to complete the round, even without any mistakes. And after a certain point you have to watch ads for extra moves, but you only get 10 opportunities to do so. As well as the fact that some of the ads glitch out and don’t let you skip, even after sitting for 5 minutes, and you have to restart the round. I know that isn’t 100% at fault of the devs, but a good dev would make sure that a player would never be forced in that position in the first place. And there are many workarounds for that. The concept of the game is intriguing and satisfying, but this app cannot deliver. I deleted after 30 minutes of playing because of it. Do better.

New Update Ruined This Game. I loved this game but the addition of the locked columns and keys to unlock stacks in the recent update is horrible. I actually payed the $10+ to remove ads fully, and this payment was essentially deemed useless by the new locked columns and keys addition. Levels are impossible to complete organically. This game used to be so awesome and I enjoyed playing so much that it was worth it to spend money to remove ads. Now, I feel like my money was wasted as I have completed ditched the game. New update is not good, and other recent reviews say the exact same thing. Please reverse this update and go back to the original style and layout. Also, why were the controls switched around? Why isnt the level number displayed at the top of the game screen anymore? Please, listen to your fans and remove this new locked card column addition. Please brainstorm other ways to increase income from your everyday player base.

Would Be My Favorite Game… if it Didn’t Freeze. I love this game. It’s addicting, it’s just the right amount of challenging, and I really enjoy it. The problem is every time an in-game ad starts, once the ad is over, the game freezes. The only way to get the ad break screen to go away is to close out the app entirely and then open it back up. But once you’ve done that, all the progress you made, is gone. So if you don’t complete the hand of solitaire before the first ad break, you’re going to be stuck in an infinite loop, playing the same hand. I don’t mind ads. I understand that to keep games free and therefore more accessible to more people, ads are necessary. Keep the ads, but please fix the glitch that happens after you’ve watched the ad. I’d really like to play this game but until then…uninstall.

Fun and well made, but…. I really love this game and play it almost daily. That being said, I RESENT the introduction of limited lives and the weird “lock and key” feature they’ve added to some of the levels. Limited lives in a game where you FREQUENTLY run out of moves because the cards got poorly shuffled is just annoying. I play this game to help myself fall asleep at night; it’s been great for giving my overactive and anxious mind something to focus on, and the limited lives is really putting a damper on things. And the lock and key thing…I don’t know, it’s kind of inconsistent. Some levels I feel like it adds a fun level of challenge, but others I feel like it adds an unnecessary level of difficulty to a game that doesn’t need it. I wish there was an option to turn it off.

Too annoying. Yeah it should be 2 stars. Good idea, bad execution. I get needing to make money, and having ads on the game play screen is okay, but there’s gotta be a balance between “AD breaks” that last a minute and uninterrupted playtime. If you can’t make money with on screens ads, then you’re not doing it right. I’m always wary of games that give you so many tries and then charge you for more turns. It’s obviously corrupt, but some games are honest enough so you actually get a good amount of time to play, and start to enjoy playing, to the point you don’t mind paying for things. Like rewarding the game makers for their time and effort. I have to be able to play first. This game has a lot of potential but I got too ticked off too early in the game to actually enjoy it enough to pay. Too bad. I will be deleting.

Language and game play issues. I played this game for a week or so. I even paid the $10 fee for no ads (way too expensive). One of the main issues I found is that the words they use sometimes are incorrect or seemingly made up. (I tried to look them up.) This makes it difficult to categorize them correctly the first time. I had to guess on several, which is a problem because many of the games can’t be solved unless you make zero mistakes. You can watch more ads to buy more moves, which I’ve had to do even with an almost perfect round. My $10 was a waste of money. I would like the game to have more leeway. You should be able to make one or two extra moves and still win the round. All around, not worth the money to have a playable version of the game that isn’t bloated by ads.

New mechanic is stupid. I started playing this very early on, before many of the new mechanics were added. Some of the new mechanics were nice, but some sucked the joy out of the game, and the latest mechanic, locked cards, may just end playability for me. Okay, you want to make it more challenging, fine, but some of us like to play something fun, not frustrating. Theorettically, most of the cards are already “locked” behind the face up cards, so adding yet another barrier is just frustrating. Make the locked cards a choice. If a player wants to play on hard mode, then they can have locked cards, but if not, don’t lock the cards. It’s dumb. Also, the ads. Yes they are a bit much. About the time you get into a groove, boom! There’s the ad. Also, a couple of times I’ve been served some pretty R-rated ads, which considering this is supposedly family-friendly game was not cool

Ad Issue Fixed!. UPDATE: Thank you for fixing the issue. Updated my rating from 1 star to 4. Fun game but once you play many levels FAR too much of the terminology is based in Indian culture. I would assume that’s either where the app was developed or where the developers are from, which is understandable. But it can get really tedious to look up every single word, 10, 20 times in a row simply because they happen to be words that have little to no significance in American life/the Western World. Sorry if that’s racist, but it’s annoying. Other than that the game is fun. Great concept. Super addicting. ORIGINAL: I paid $15 to remove ads from this game and they’re back. I tried restoring purchases, I tried reporting a problem but the very limited options don’t cover this. Please fix this issue.

Engaging spinoff on solitaire with categories instead of suits. Solitaire Association‘s journey Replaces the suits from the traditional card game with categories that change with each puzzle. It’s a surprisingly effective change that leaves me a bit baffled at the beginning of each puzzle until clues reveal a pattern as the game proceeds. It also includes picture categories that I find delightful. After learning a couple basic strategies I find I can solve most puzzles on the first attempt, though I often need to request additional moves by watching an ad. But sometimes I can solve a puzzle in one pass through the deck. If you love category games or can’t resist solitaire variations this one’s definitely worth a try.

Terrible. I genuinely tried to give Solitaire Associations a fair chance, but the longer I played, the more it felt like I was watching ads with a side of gameplay rather than actually playing a game. At first, it seems like a simple, relaxing twist on solitaire. But that illusion disappears fast once the ads start rolling in—constantly. Finish a round? Ad. Restart a level? Ad. Accidentally tap the wrong thing? Somehow… also an ad. It completely destroys any sense of flow. You can’t settle into the game because you’re being interrupted every couple of minutes. What makes it worse is how long and repetitive the ads are. It’s not just quick pop-ups—you’re stuck watching full-length ads, sometimes with multiple screens to click through before you can even get back to the game. By the time you return, you’ve already lost focus and honestly don’t even feel like continuing. Even basic features feel locked behind ads or pushed so aggressively that it becomes annoying. It gives off the impression that the game wasn’t designed to be enjoyable—it was designed to maximize ad time. The actual gameplay ends up feeling like filler between ad breaks instead of the main attraction. There might be a decent game buried underneath all of this, but it’s nearly impossible to enjoy it when you’re constantly being pulled out of the experience. Instead of relaxing or having fun, it just becomes frustrating and tedious. Overall, Solitaire Associations is a perfect example of a game ruined by excessive ads. If you have the patience to sit through constant interruptions, maybe you’ll get something out of it—but for most people, it’s just not worth it.

One of my Faves. This is one of my favorite games to play. I love that it is challenging and makes me think. I have recommended this game to a few people and they also end up enjoying it. I don’t mind watching ads for a a few more turns but more often than not I will just start over. It would be interesting if we could replay past levels or if there were challenges and things. One thing that is kind of annoying is that restarting the deck and flipping the first card over counts as two moves. I feel like flipping back to the beginning and turning the first card over shouldn’t count against your move total. Other than that i love this game and play it every day.

Could be great but instead is flawed and super annoying.. We get it! Ads are a necessary part of free games, no question. But the ads in this game are ridiculous - longer than in any other game I’ve ever played, and they take 4 or 5 inputs to finally exit when they’re done. The game difficulty in the harder levels isn’t challenging - it’s just frustrating. The locks make the 5-stack levels unsolvable without spending money or playing the same level a dozen times until you get a hand that’s set up well enough so you can finish it by watching a video for 5 moves, which you can only do 3 times a day. Speaking of moves, flipping a card from the stock shouldn’t count as a move. The game is out of balance, away from fun and toward money grubbing and frustration, and they need to fix it. And all the reviewers with gripes who still give the game 5 stars are not helping. Edit: The developer response is “you can get extra moves by watching ads or spending coins,” same as their response to everyone. But we already know this, and I already explained why the ads are worse in this game. Their canned response tells me that they’re making enough money and aren’t really that interested in improvements.

Good game. I like it a lot. Not your typical “brain game.” But it is frustrating when you do an ad for more turns, and the ad locks up the app… you lose all your progress in the game. Not a big deal if you are early in a level, but when it happens when I am near finishing the level, I just get mad and close the app. Now, usually if that happens, I delete the app and don’t bother with it. But since I do enjoy this game, I have kept it. Idk how the app developers could improve the game so that an ad lock-up won’t remove all progress. Maybe when the player hits play ad, it automatically saves progress, or it saves progress right before it delivers the “10 more moves” popup? I would highly recommend this app to my friends if they could fix this bug.

Frustrating Instead of Fun. I really want to like this game, but … I repeatedly come within one or two moves of completing the puzzle before I run out of moves. This is further exacerbated by the fact that it requires two moves to turn over a card and then use it. I have talked to the developers about the fact that a usable card being turned over should count as a single move not 2 moves. This is something they are taking into consideration, but I’ll probably delete this game before they ever do anything about it. Ultimately, it’s more frustrating than fun. And, come on, let’s face it — we play a game to have fun. Life itself is frustrating enough and we don’t need our leisure time to be frustrating, too. Update: sorry, it was just too frustrating, too many times. I deleted the game.

scam game. delete this game. ads in between moves and 2/3 ads per level. they make the gameplay frustrating on purpose so you spend $10 for ad free or have to watch even more ads to use specialty cards to be able to continue the game. i’ve gotten multiple levels with 80 cards and 140 moves… each card is worth 2 moves… not sure why the creators thought that would work. this game style and the incessant advertisements is designed to frustrate the player into either spending money, spending time watching EXTRA ads for ‘extra’ moves REQUIRED to play, or quitting the game. this had so much potential yet the creators have ruined their own ideas with their greed and love of advertisements. i have never played a game with this many ads! i will be deleting this game and suggest to anyone reading this they do the same. there are so many better words games out there that don’t show a broken Disney ad every level that crashes and forces you to reload the app. EVERY LEVEL :(

Fun!. Think solitaire meets the NYT game “Connections” — this game is super fun! I do wish there was some sort of definition feature, because I occasionally get a category/words that I don’t understand. I also think it might be nice to specify when the category is for cards with pictures on them. I played a level today with the category of “sounds”, but it was for 8 different pictures of animals, who weren’t visually making sounds. I had acquired a stack of all those animals, but lost the level because I didn’t realize they went in the “sounds” category. I’m also not sure why the game keeps demanding I connect to the internet. I try to play offline when I’m outside the house and it works for a little bit, but then stops and says I need to connect to the internet. I also would absolutely pay for the ad free option, but it’s $10, and I personally find that to be too steep of a price.

Ripoff. This would be a pretty good game if you weren’t limited to a certain number of moves for each level. Each round limits you to a set number of moves, and as you move up the levels, you reach a point where it’s impossible to win without spending $5 or $15 to keep going. And when you reach the end of the draw pile, just turning it over—without even drawing a card—counts as a move! So does just turning over a card from the stock pile but not playing it. So that means that playing a card counts as two moves. Really, devs?! It would be so much better if you could earn moves as you successfully complete a category, so that you had some kind of a chance of winning. Yes, you can watch ads or use coins to get more “moves,” but you can only watch ads up to three times and you only get five “moves,” and you need such a high number of coins (>2000) that you’ll probably never get that many. It’s a ripoff. It’s also a shame because it’s a fun idea for a game. Devs, you should really rethink the game so that one move is playing a single card. Redealing is not a move in a card game. This game is all about ads, ads, ads, and money, money, money. I miss the days of creative developers coming up with fun games that you could buy if you wanted and then play for free if you chooe not to spend more on them. Greed rules the day. Deleted.

love all the ads you guys run. honestly very fun game i wish i could play it more but it’s honestly just a pain to play they give you little to no moves to play a whole game it’s awful ill be like 3 cards away from winning but then i have to either watch an add or spend money to get more coins to play the game honestly i like the game its fun but if you guys actually cared about player experience over money you would attract a larger audience of people you guys honestly should be ashamed of doing this to a good game lessen the ads and i understand that the game is free so you need ads to keep it running but at least make the no ads feature cheap its like i just went into the app to check how much the no ads thing costs and it gave me an ad for pressing a button i have never written a review before ever but this game is just such a pain its 10 dollars to remove ads you greedy little “people” honestly just delete the game if your gonna use this many ads every single person is complaining about the ads but yet you geniuses at hq think its better to let your money hungry minds run wild have you guys even played the game without ads try it and see how fun it is and don’t tell me some bs fix the game or delete it horrible

$10 for no ads!?. I really enjoy this game but as many others have pointed out, the frequency and length of ads is insane, especially when the ads sometimes cause the entire game to crash. I usually don't even mind ads but the game is almost unplayable in its current state. Like other users have said, I would happily pay for an ad free version but $10 is way too much for a game this simple. I like it a lot, but it should not be the same price as a game like balatro, it's just not comparable. I play a lot of mobile games and many feature ads in order to remain free. In my opinion the ad free version of this game should cost more in the range of $3-5. This game is very popular so I also feel like there is probably plenty of room to cut back on ads and still make enough off of the ad revenue to continue to keep it free. No game this simple should require this many ads to fund it.

Greedy. So long story short it takes too many moves then you only get 5 moves when you watch an ad. Which forces you to buy more moves with real money and they are expensive AF! It comes off as if the maker of this game is very greedy and selfish. It’s actually unfair cause it takes so many moves you can win most levels unless you buy moves which again are super expensive. I’m on level 349 and I’ve spent over $150 on moves. Like at least start me off with more moves since I’ve spent so much money and I’m on a higher level. Please resolve these issues or I can’t keep playing and wasting my money! If you fix it then this will for sure be the best solitaire everrrr I guarantee! I hope you actually listen to your customers and change it. We’re all saying the same thing so fix it ASAP!!

Not worth it. The first day I downloaded it, there were minimal ads. I was able to play quite a few levels with no ads in between. The next day, I was able to get through a level, then it would play an ad. Once I beat level after that, another ad, so on and so forth. I don’t mind getting through a level and then watching an ad. And, I’ve seen that before, where they will increase the ads after the first 24-48 hours of downloading a game, so I wasn’t surprised when I started getting more. Now, after having it less than a week, I get interrupted with ads mid-level, just for solving one stack! They pop up in the middle of the game, and sometimes I have 2 or 3 ads happen before I ever even get through the level. Absolutely ridiculous. Deleting and moving on. My recommendation: it’s not worth the download. Save yourself the frustration and find a better game.

Ridiculous. I really enjoy playing this game. That being said, I will be deleting it. I understand that it’s a free game. I also understand ads are necessary. (Developers, don’t respond with that excuse please.) BUT, for a game to have an “Ad Break” IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME is absolutely ridiculous. And sometimes it’s more than once! Not cool. I’m all for suffering through the horrible ads in a free game, but not DURING the game. And these ad breaks are sometimes 90 to 120 seconds long. Again, ridiculous. Also adding to my reasons for deleting this game… when you flip a card over, that equals/wastes one move. When you get to the end of the deck and restock, that equals/wastes one move. I don’t mind watching ads to earn more moves, but guess what? You’re limited to the number of times you can do this. To earn coins without spending any money is difficult. You can watch ads to earn coins (but again, you’re limited), but you burn those moves by simply flipping a card over. Sadly, I will be looking for another word solitaire game. :(

Ad-free should mean AD-FREE. This is an interesting concept in a world of repetitive games with deceptive ads. It combines the card-stacking mechanics of solitaire with word association, but there are also icons or images that you have to guess the association with as well. However, the ads can be quite incessant, so I paid for the ad-free pack—a standard $10, and pretty reasonable. But for some reason, there are STILL ADS in the game if you run out of moves, among other things. AD-FREE SHOULD MEAN AD-FREE: NO ADS AT ALL. If that means they have to limit how many “freebies” I get that I would normally get from watching an ad, then please: program that feature in! Take a page from games like Idle Pet Shelter and give a fixed number of freebies a day, or put a wait time between them. But don’t make me watch ads when I explicitly said I don’t want to, especially if some of those ads are for even more deceptive, unrelated games. (And get a better ad network, please.)

Good, but two problems that must be addressed…. Hey! So I literally just started playing this game and I gotta admit, it was fun and engaging! The only reason I gave this three stars, however, is for two reasons: One, because of the ads. I’m not gonna say much on here for this one because I seen other reviews and they’re going through the same issue so lemme just say this. There be times where I’d be in the middle of a game, right? And next thing you know, there’ll be ads popping up every few minutes and it’s just straight up frustrating dude, like no kidding at all… Two, because of the moves. So right now, I’m up to level 8 and I first received 119 moves. Eventually, when I started separating the cards, the amount of moves start running out quickly, and the moment when all the moves are out, you gotta watch an ad to get 5 more moves, and when they’re out too, you gotta watch yet another add for 5+ moves. Like I said, fun and engaging, but them ads be running out quickly, and once again, I just started playing this and I’m already losing to this level multiple times. I’m not saying this to disappoint you or anything like that, but to just point out how this game will improve overtime. Once again, I like this game and it’s fun and all, but the ads and the amount of moves are the main issue to me Thanks for taking the time to read my review!

Meh - fun but ton of ads. This a fairly fun game, but the number of ads is insane. It’s also frustrating that the game doesn’t give you the cards you need when you need them, so you need to try 8 - 10 times to complete a level. They do give you an easier level with fewer cards - typically the easy level comes right after a very hard level. Mercifully, the easy levels have no ads until the end of the round. I appreciate the need for ads for free play, but this game has waaay too many, and I don’t find the game fun enough to justify paying for ad free. To the developer: Put an ad at the start of a round, and then no more for that round. Right now, an ad pops up 1 - 2x in the middle of game play …and since it takes numerous attempts to complete a level, that’s a lot of ads. Deleted due to excessive ads and game play set up for you to fail so you are forced to watch even more ads or pay to play

Fun, but greedy. Hints are completely useless and a waste of coins. The increasing coin cost as levels proceed is also an absurd upwards spike, especially since beating a level gives so few coins and does not increase at the same rate (or at all, from what I’ve seen). The ad limits for getting more moves is incredibly restrictive for no reason other than to try and force you to buy more coins to proceed, and the ads themselves are upwards of a minute to nearly two minutes, which are the longest I’ve ever had to sit through of any mobile app I’ve ever used in my life. My biggest recommendations would be to remove the ad limit and shorten the ads. This would encourage more playtime and still provide ad revenue, potentially far more than you would get currently. I will say though, at least this company’s ads are genuinely just real gameplay, and the gameplay itself is good. I just can’t appreciate the unnecessary restrictions, as the game can be profitable without them.

Not fun anymore. This game used to be fun until they put a to limit on the number of 10 extra moves you can get, before you could watch as many ads to get the extra moves now it’s limited down to 9. And if you reach that max you either have to use 1500 coins to continue or restart the whole game. Also the hints and undo buttons requires coins and there’s also a limited number of ads to watch to get more as well. before when you watch 1 ad you would get 3 uses now with the limitations 1 ad gets you 1 use and the coins are always ridiculously high. You can watch ads to get 500 coins but of course that comes with limits also and once the max is reached the wait time is 8hrs. All of these limitations and their greed have made the game unenjoyable and is now ruined. Who thought this was a good idea??? I refuse to spend real money to keep playing and I’m willingly watching ads so why ruin that with this change? I wish I didn’t update the app, I might have to delete the game now

Not worth it. I started playing this game a couple of months ago. The original game was fun; I spent hours and hours playing it. I enjoyed it enough to pay for the upgrade to ad-free. Everything was fine for awhile but in the last couple of weeks, the game devs have added a lock and key mechanic to some levels, and have also added a “lives” mechanic where you lose a life when you fail to complete a level. Lives regenerate at a rate of one every 30 minutes, or you can spend coins (which you receive a small amount of after completing a level and substantially more by completing daily goals for consecutive wins) to refresh one life instantly. These new mechanics together have the following effects: 1. It is harder to win and nearly impossible to win consecutively, which is required to open chests that reward the most coins 2. Limits playtime unless you want to pay more 3. Virtually forces the use of in-game currency (which doesn’t accumulate fast enough to support just playing the game) to buy power ups to save a failed or failing attempt so you don’t lose a life and/or break your streak. I don’t play the game as often or as much now as I used to and I feel a little bit like I ultimately got scammed out of the money I spent on it. It was worth the money at the time I spent it because I could play as much as I wanted without having to spend more money to play. I can’t do that anymore. Had I been able to anticipate that the developers would make these changes to make the game very frustrating to play, I would never have spent money on it in the first place. You can try to play it for free, but my recollection is that you get ads constantly, as in so-called “ad breaks” in the middle of a game. Pretty annoying!

Game is a cool idea BUT. I really liked this game. I liked the ad, and the first few levels were cool. But by about the 4th or 5th level, it got literally impossible to beat the game without watching ads to add more moves. It was not because I wasn’t playing it well enough—it was actually impossible to do, like designed that way. Ugh. Plus they have mid-game ads, which I find VERY annoying. I would just exit out and open the game back up, but I’m limited on how many times I’ll do that before I get deeply annoyed. I would be willing to watch ads to add more moves….but not if I’m forced to. Like I can’t beat the level if I don’t add moves by watching ads?!?! And if I want to play offline, I’m literally stuck at the end of the level until I can get to the internet. No matter how many times I restart the game. So no thanks, I’m good. I’ll try some of the similar apps maybe. But I’ll definitely be deleting this one now, after I write this. Only giving two stars because the concept is cool.

Fun but Needs Better Balance. I’ve really enjoyed playing this game and I genuinely love it. I even spent $9.99 to remove ads! However, I’d like to point out three issues. First, should drawing a card really count as a turn? Since drawing from the deck is counted as a turn, it’s fine in easier levels with three slots or a small move limit. But in harder levels with five slots and hundreds of moves, even drawing cards consumes turns, which is incredibly frustrating. Second, why is there a daily limit of nine times for adding 10 extra turns through ads? It makes it almost impossible to complete treasure hunts. I’ve only managed to finish it once 🥲 Lastly, I’m not sure if this is due to a recent update or just because I’ve reached higher levels, but locks and keys have started appearing. OMG. In difficult levels with five slots and hundreds of moves, I simply can’t clear stages when locks and keys are involved. I think I played the same level over twenty times today. I seriously considered deleting the game. Honestly, locks and keys could be removed for better balance. The levels are already challenging enough without them, and it’s hard to clear them in one try. Of course, experienced players might enjoy the added challenge of locks and keys. but personally, I don’t.

Disappointed. This game isn't the worst, in fact it is actually a bit enjoyable while you play it. The issue is that you cant play it without 2-3 ads minimum per stage. The game does not give you enough turns to comfortably beat a level. Im fairly certain some are impossible to beat unless under perfect conditions. The cost for extra turns is to watch an ad with the alternative being to replay the level. Even if you decide to replay a level to avoid using ads for extra turns you still are required to watch an ads during the ad break EVERY LEVEL. On top of that you still may not have enough turns to beat the level. This makes the game unplayable if you reach the daily limit of ads assuming you can put up with them. All in all i feel as though there is an unbalanced ad environment built into subpar gameplay which makes the game feel worse than it already is. Unfortunately a waste of time and talent. :/

Ads made me delete. Was fun, until they started making you watch ads when you'd randomltly clear a column. And the fact that reshuffling costs a move, is unecessary level of difficulty. I've lost games to one move being needed. If the pay version gets rid of the random ads that's only one problem. The long suits with 6 or more cards, the bases are rarely in the shuffle pile and are buried in the locked columns. Get better funding, so you're not Nickle and diming to sustain your overhead. Avoid this game. Had it less than a week and if the extra life videos were the only ones you had to sit thru, that would be one thing. But sometimes restarts or even progression to another level you have to sit thru an 30 second ad, the arrow and x buttons just bring up the app. Cash grab and annoying. Trash programming. Hopefully AI will replace the coders and their employers who think this is a viable business model. Negative stars

Good but many gameplay problems. The game is good and it’s very fun, unfortunately when you reach a certain point in the game it forces you to use extra lives and replay the same level over and over again. The locked decks genuinely are awful to play and it seems just completely luck based at that point, replaying the same level over and over again decks are locked and you need a key even thought you’re sitting there, drawing cards over and over again until you know you’re going to lose because you have low moves remaining They should really remove that feature, I can only imagine how many players they’ve lost because of this, they should instead come up with more rewards to give or adjust the amount of moves given because you cannot beat some of these levels without using extra lives or extra turns

Please get rid of gross ads. This is a well-crafted game that sits somewhere between the card game Solitaire and the New York Times Connections. There’s no timer, so you can pick up and put down any time. Sometimes I play just for a minute or two. I also appreciate that there are no in-app purchases. But for once, I would be happy to purchase an ad-free experience! The ads are typically short and can be clicked through easily. But for weeks now about 90% of them have been for a game called Wool Escape 3D. They’re so gross to look at; I can’t stand it. It’s one of those misogynistic male-gaze games where a woman fails to meet some beauty standard — except in this case she lacks basic hygiene. The videos show maggot-ridden pustulent skin, hair caked with bird feces… It really spoils my experience of playing Solitaire Associations Journey.

Last two changes. I loved this game. I paid for it so I could play while listening to my audio books without ads. The last updates have made it frustrating because the games became unsolvable without additional payment. Playing the same hand over and over until running out of all points, having to interrupt my audiobooks to watch even more ads just to have 10 more moves and still not having enough moves to finish the game is now a frustrating, irritating dead end. Then today’s new update that added locks and keys and made it even harder!! It has become a grind just to get the perfect shuffle. It is no longer fun. You ruined it. If you were trying to make it more challenging for some people who like that type of game, at least make the new changes options that can be turned off for those of us who have bought it. I would not have paid for the current version.

Fun but problematic. This game would be really fun if it weren’t for the fact that sometimes the categories make absolutely no sense in terms of the words that go with them. I don’t know if the game is maybe not American and so maybe it makes sense somewhere else. Most of the stuff is good, but there are lots of times where the terms have nothing to do with the category they fall under. ** Updated review- it’s obvious now that the game is likely made in the UK or the EU. Which is absolutely fine. But that means that a lot of the words are just words we simply don’t have in America so if you buy the game and you’re from Europe or UK, the words will probably make sense, but I would say at least half of them make absolutely no sense because we don’t use them at all or not the way they are using them. Great game just probably going to be very annoying and confusing for American audiences.

The Most Accurate Review. This is a really fun game! But it does need some improvements… One improvement they need is sometimes I don’t even know what the word means so I don’t know what category to put it in. Otherwise I love the game it’s challenging and awesome for me when bored. I think basically any one would enjoy this game, plus it’s totally free! The ads can sometimes be annoying but when I get frustrated playing the game an add pops up and I calm down and figure out how to win. I love how they give you ten extra turns just to watch an add if you run out of turns to move cards because I’m always sooooooo close but I don’t have enough so I just hit the add button for an extra ten turns and it makes me so happy. That’s all I have to say about this game I love it and if you’re reading this I think you should download it too!
