Yukon Russian – Solitaire Game 4+

Ads

I play several Mobilityware games and Russian solitaire has become my favorite. Love the game. It is challenging but winnable. Lately, several times I have had to close the game because ads which block the game will not go away. The screen is not frozen. I can leave it for an hour and when I return, the same ad is blocking the game. If I turn off my phone, it will refresh. There are also new banner ads at the bottom of the screen which partially block the game FOR A LONG TIME! Besides quality games and graphics, one of the reasons I have always liked these games is because the ads are short. C’mon guys. Don’t ruin a good game with ads that block. I understand that I need to see ads to pay for a free app, but these are really annoying enough for me to quit playing.

Mind-stretching card game, but rude with audio

The Russian game is especially challenging, each solvable but you may have to undo a ways to try a different approach - or if you’re not patient enough, just start a new game. it’s unique and strangely addictive if you enjoy solving puzzles.

My only beef with this game is that the ads do not respect your current audio usage. For example, if I’m listening to music on Musi, or a dictated article using Pocket, or an Apple Podcast, many of the ads will pause the audio so it can blast the ad’s accompanying audio. (Not all ads do this, and not all have audio. Having the phone in Vibrate mode doesn’t usually prevent this.)

I find that very rude behavior, enough that I typically just double-tap the Home button and kill the game so that I can return to my other app and start the audio up again before returning to the new game. It’s a shame for advertisers, since I’m much more likely to look at an ad if it hasn’t interrupted my audio program.

Great Game

At last I found a different spin on Solitaire. I play several Mobility games. In fact, you are becoming my favorite game company, and I find Russian Solitaire fun and challenging. It may become my current favorite. Personally, I enjoy knowing how other players fared. It lets me know what I’m up against. If I win, I feel really good, and if not, I know I’m not alone.

My one minor complaint, and it is minor, is the constant hints that I get whether I want them or not. I’m new to the game, and right now it gives me no time to find a card before I get the hint. Maybe that will fade as time passes, but if I want a hint, I’ll ask for it. That being said, this a a fun gam for relaxing and passing time.
