Solitaire Associations Journey

New Design For some reason they decided to change the art design of the game. It’s absolutely horrible now. I liked this app in particular because of its simplified layout. It felt like a traditional solitaire game you’d play on a computer. Now it just feels like any other word solitaire app. Very in your face and gimmicky. Huge font and cards and a lot flashier. I wouldn’t have spent the $9.99 to get rid of advertisements if I knew they’d dramatically alter the design. They could have retained the old design and made a new and improved app. This way, if you preferred the old design, you wouldn’t be forced to make the switch. Why can it the original if you change the look????

5 STARS ONLY SO YOU CAN SEE THE REVIEW DON’ WASTE YOUR TIME DOWNLOADING THIS GAME!!! It’s impossible to beat the levels with the number of “Moves” they allow you to have. And of course they want you to pay MONEY to get extra moves. For the first several levels it had ads to get +5 moves. Which was annoying in itself because an extra 5 wasn’t enough. And you have to watch several ads just to finish the level. But then by level 8 they didn’t offer me any more ads and only had the “buy extra moves for 1500 coins” option. Which at that level I had 1466 coins. They know what they’re doing. They purposely don’t give you enough moves so you have to buy more and even then you’ll be spending a bunch of money because it’s never enough moves given to you in the first place. Just make the game something that people can buy outright and take away the number of moves. I’m downloading another game just like it without all the hassle. EVERYONE just type in Solitaire Associations on Apple Store and download their competitors game app that doesn’t come with all the fuss. I really enjoyed this game…oh well. And it still would be challenging without the “Moves” count because sometimes you get stuck. That “Moves” count should be an OPTION if you want something more challenging for extra points or something, take it out of the regular game. I would buy the game for $20 if I could just play it without that.

New update destroyed the game This game used to be able to beat more times than not without having to spend a ton. The 3 card levels dropped your chances by 70%, the 4 card levels used to be 10 sets, now it’s like 14 and they added the key feature. Same with the 5 card game. Made them all impossible to beat without watching an ad. Which sucks because I paid for no ads. I wish the developers would explain every update and what changes they made and why. It’s because the game has hit its peak and now time to squeeze the last of their profits. I hope a company replicates this game and make it the way it was, even 3 months ago

New Updates Disrupt Playing Experience I enjoyed this game a lot before the updates that brought in locked columns and other features. I prefer a simple word game without any gimmicks and I would an appreciate a playing setting where you can choose to disable those features.

One giant add This game becomes almost unplayable due to the amount of ads they run. During one level I had it pop up a screen that said “ad break” three times. Followed by long unskippable ads that force you to click and interact with them to exit out of. Awful. And the levels become almost unbeatable unless you watch ads to get more turns.

Bring back the old version This is by far my favorite game. Or used to be. The additions of the puzzles, races, piggy banks, limited lives, etc were ok but the latest update now includes little emoticons that pop up every time you place a card and flash “Done!” when you complete a category. It is so distracting that I can no longer enjoy the game. PLEASE just go back to the cards on their own! There is enough challenge with game play that you don’t need all the other added features.

Pay to Play The app is very much designed to try to get money out of you. “No ads” doesn’t truly mean no ads and the no ads price is an outrageous $9.99. A cool concept but, sadly, it is plagued by ads and a punishingly low move count.

Game is fun but the app is full of ads I really enjoy this game but the amount of ads make it not as enjoyable. Plus you can’t close them and have to log out of the game and back in. I would recommend holding off on downloading it until they fix all the issues with the add

Fun until like Level 30 This game was challenging to start- which I like. But once you get to the levels where cards are locked with keys, it’s impossible.

Scam Some levels are quick and easy to set you up for the impossible levels that cannot be solved based on the card shuffle. You will have to either spend money on coins to create moves or replay the level 15 times to get the right shuffle and card order to complete it. It’s a scam to get you to purchase coins. Utter garbage.
