My app freezes and I get black screen and need to turn it off to continue playing. Your upgrade is horrendous!! Thank your for your response. I still have problems, not as frequently but still there. When I win or cannot and try to start a new game the ad attempts to load and then I get a black screen with a tiny symbol in the lower left corner. At that point I could wait and wait but nothing will change and need to close and shut the app down before I can continue to play. I hope this helps more than my first “rant”. RJ Update #2, I realized this morning that several of my apps are having issues “opening “ and that this started after my last Apple update of 13.3 something. I will also contact and rant at them. This morning absolutely no ads have shown on my Solitaire app?? Thank you for your interest in my issue. Ramona Many apologies and Mea Culpa....it turns out that my last Apple update corrupted as it downloaded and caused all the issues. I worked through Apple support and updated through my PC and now all is working beautifully. Please accept my profound apologies, I love your Solitaire program. Ramona

This used to be our go-to Solitaire game - it was fast, free, and wasn’t saddled with a bunch of unnecessary animations and time-wasters that exist now in the most recent version. At some point in the past 6 months or so, the card dealing animations became rather ‘jerky’ at times. I could live with the visual ticks, because the rest of things were working OK… you could start a new game, and if you didn’t like what you were dealt, you could get another new game instantly. That is no longer the case, unfortunately. During one of the more recent ‘bug fixes and enhancements’ misnomers, a new game mode was introduced, and along with it came A 15-20 SECOND DELAY in the form of 4 suits, animated over some cutsie sayings, like “Hiding Aces…” and other similarly unneeded attempts at… IDK what. Note that the delay has been introduced for each of the game modes where you may request a new game. This drops my rating from 5 to 3 stars. Update: August 2024 They did allow a brief return to Landscape mode on iPhone, but that’s been 86’d in the past few months. Also the animated delay in dealing a new hand disappeared for a while. Unfortunately, it also has returned. Recommendation: if you like the way it’s working for you, NEVER update it.

So, I downloaded several solitaire games, as it is a mind soother for me. I liked the interface on this one best, so deleted the others, and was kind of happy. There is no reason that this program should EVER need to connect to the internet, I had solitaire on a computer before the world got access to the internet, and it worked just fine without an internet connection back then, solitaire hasn’t changed, so they are just taking advantage of me, forcing me to connect and watch the stupid ads, but it was a bargain with the devil I was willing to live with. Then, all the wifi stuff in the house got wonky, nothing worked, because our bandwidth was flooded. I was afraid of somebody piggybacking our internet or a trojan or some other hacker hijacking my system, so we brought out the big guns, ping trackers, bandwidth analysis, everything.... and it traced back to the IPad with solitaire on it. We removed ALL programs, except base Apple, the traffic use disappeared. Added programs back, one at a time, when we got to solitaire, traffic was BAAAACKKK, so, I don’t know what they are up to, don’t care, as long as it doesn’t include ME, and the resources I am paying for, so getting rid of this and taking the time to dig out the old, internet free solitaire program, resetting my iPad and NEVER getting anything from these guys ever again. Too expensive!
