I really like this app, even more than I thought I would. Only a few issues. First, the app, occasionally, seems to freeze up for 5 or 6 seconds. It's annoying, but I can get over it. What is harder to get over is while I can't make any moves during freeze up, the timer still records time. When the freeze up ends, the timer show the 5 or 6 seconds that has elapsed. Since time is used to calculate the score, that's problematic. Second, the ad that is positioned at the bottom... In that position, I often touch it inadvertently. It then opens Safari browser. I have to click a link to return to the game. I would prefer the ad to appear at the top or left (right-handed) where I would not inadvertently touch it. Maybe we can choose the location? Third, the app is 430Mb. Why is a solitaire game so big? Is this related to the variety of ads that popup? Also, I play this game on more than one device. The results are linked through my game account. I know this because my high score results show up on all the devices. So, why can’t the “daily” play on multiple devices get linked? As currently designed, I have to do the daily play on one device to get monthly totals. Would love to use whichever device was handy and see the totals on all. Last, the yellow warning symbol that indicates no additional moves should be optional. Often, I continue to make moves and even win games after that warning appears. Address those items and this is a 5 star app!

It seems every update mentions eliminating bugs and making the game more stable. I have only noticed more flashing and repetitive advertisements. Also, the game now crashes. Now it could be worse, if you just restart the game and choose “resume”, you will usually be returned after some delay to where you were. It is not a good look to have a computer game that must be based on intelligent programming to have so many repetitive ads. After seeing the same ad so many times, it would make anyone try to get rid of it as soon as possible. You can bring an ad back after a long delay. I might change my mind and look at it carefully. The solitaire game is now set up so if you miss the button “restart” or if your finger slides off that button, then the click to see more of the ad is activated. I’m sure you don’t admit to your advertisers that most of the clicks were unintended. I don’t have to play this game. There are other games and other solitaire programs. Let me guess - the programmers are smart enough to know all this, but the business managers insist that their minions spend almost all their time at attempting to maximize profit. Fire the bosses.

The game is great and fun with great graphics. I rated it a 3, however, because if you have an internet data connection, you will be showered with ads for another game called “Final Fantasy.” This is a empire building game with graphics that look like a high school graphics course first attempt at animation. This solitaire game had great graphics, so I have to wonder what happened with “Final Fantasy?” I like this solitaire, so I am forced to either shut off my data or put up with a full screen ad for “Final Fantasy” after every 2-3 solitaire games. I realize that the solitaire game is free, thus ad supported. There is a small ad bar along the bottom of the solitaire window. Thanks fine. But the “Final Fantasy” ads are full screen and lock it up for 3-5 seconds. I think they named it “Final Fantasy” because they realize that they are in a fantasy world if they think that that anyone will download it. It is junk compared to other empire building games available.

I have all your Finget Arts games on my pad. While playing Solitaire 3 weeks ago the game would shut down my pad.. 2 weeks ago all the other games started doing the same thing. Today when I opened the IPad I went to my favorite game of Sudico. Power was at 100%. My pad crashed and I had to do a hard reboot. That didn’t work so I plugged in the pad and I finally got a reboot. After 15 minutes I turned my pad on and my home page came up and I was at no 0 nada. I unplugged my pad and the power started coming up. First it showed 5 minutes, then it jumped to 85% then back down to 30%. I left the pad plugged to charge it and in a couple of hours it was ok. Now the 64 thousand question. What can I do to keep my iPad from crashing. I know I can buy the new games but no way. I have had finger arts games for decades. This in my second IPad. So please do a fix so your games quit crashing my Pad Joanne Hansen

I have used this app in past with great success, but the new version 7.4 constantly crashes. It will sometimes crash as many as 7 times in a single play. Remember every app crash leaves you open to vulnerability hacks and security breaches. So i highly recommend against using this app until they fix their crashing leaving you open to security hacks. It is not possible to reach out to developer, you try and it has blank email address, so they block you from reporting issues. My guess they are attempting to hack you, thus way they give you no avenue to report problems or issues. If there is an update that works, i will update my review. However i feel the need to report it as the buggiest app i ever used on my apple products, since there is no way to reach out to developer to let them know the issues. Don’t let them hack your systems, stay away from this app until apple takes a look to see what they are doing, or they fix their serious bugs.
