SO FUN AND CUTE

I really, really enjoy this. I like solitaire, obviously! But having familiar Disney characters/scenes to unlock along these way makes it a bit more magical and fun. The visual style and playful music within the game remind me of the Disney Getaway app game. I looooved that game until I had to start over when it moved to Apple Arcade. So finding this one that is similar in every way except game play was exciting. My only critique is that I wish the theme of the level correlated with the scene you are in. Ideally it would be in sync with the scene you’re working on. Ex: when working on unlocking the frozen scene, the background behind the cards would be frozen themed and the music would be one of the tunes from the movie. There’s already music from the movies playing when you aren’t in a game! It would just help it feel more connected to the goal of finishing a scene. Alternatively, when you finish a scene, you unlock a theme and you choose which theme you want for your cards. You could even do it separately so you can customize having the visual theme you want and a different music theme, if the user would want. OR! As far as the music goes, the little instrumental versions that already exist in game could be on a playlist and you can customize it so only the ones you want play, and of course you unlock more as you go! This is a very minor, kind of aesthetic thing. The game itself is awesome and addictive as is!

Fun, but I think I rather have ADs

One of the biggest selling points on this games marketing is there’s no advertisements while you play the game. To compensate monetarily for this, the game makes it hard to successfully play more than 2 games per hour without having to spend virtual coins for power ups. Once you run out of coins, you are prompted to purchase more coins with actual money. The ‘randomness’ in this game does not feel truly random at all. Too often, the more games you play after your daily rewards, the worse the hand you’re given gets. I agree with many other reviews that you shouldn’t expect to win unless you pay, either virtual coins or actual money. Honestly, I really rather have ADs in the game if it means the ‘randomness’ gets skewed to the players favor rather than the games, or at least somewhere in the middle. You barely get any coins in return for what you spend. The graphics in the game are adorable and I like the selection of scenes they’ve chosen. However, the tactics to get players to spend real money are very sad and I would rather have ADs than have to deal with a game that’s unjustly skewed. I hope they change that soon because I’m honestly getting tired of this game. Many other reviewers feel fatigued too quickly because the odds aren’t in your favor. I understand that the game developers must profit somehow, but the tactics being pushed too far to the point you’re likely not going to keep player retention in the long run.

Disney Solitaire

I think the idea of this game is very good, but the way they chose to execute it is very poor and can be annoying for the player. Every hour you get exactly enough coins to play one round and the dealing of the cards is very unpredictable and it feels like you have to be very lucky to get the right cards. There should be a system that can see what cards you may need so that it can give you that card. It feels like every time I’m just about to beat the level, the card I need does NOT pop up and I have to shuffle through 4-6 cards(which is a huge waste if you try to play strategically). Also at the start of the game it should automatically flip to a card that matches one of the starting cards, or else you have to sit there and waste your cards bc none match(which feels very unfair for us players). The game would be way better if you could earn multiple stars to progress along with more ways to earn coins. I get that it’s luck of the draw but how am I supposed to progress if I need one more card but it doesn’t pop up at all(this has happened on many occasions) causing me to fail when I played it as smart as I’m able to. Please fix this or at least add more ways to obtain coins, it feels like it’s all a waste of time. I recommend this game up until around level 100, after that it’s kind of aggravating/pointless.

Addicting, Fun, and Frustrating

I know a lot of people complain about the coins and the reward system, but that’s the biggest area for improvement. I understand the developers need to make money in order to keep producing content, so the only reason I can think of for the ever increasing coin requirement to play is for people to have to buy a larger amount of coins the further their progress faster (although that is FAR from a guarantee). The RNG is brutal as well. If you’ve got 10 cards left in your draw pile with 2 cards on the board and your next draw is a wild, you better guess the right card to use the wild on because at best there’s only one useful card in the last 10 draws. And the +5 bonus cards isn’t going to help. I once got five 10s using that bonus once. That shouldn’t happen. Other than what’s mentioned above and the unforgiving RNG,the thing I would like to suggest to improve is to make the hourly coin collection not stop accruing after an hour. The coins I collect should be based on how long I’ve been away. I don’t want to have to set an alarm each hour in order to be able to play more than one hand a day. If it cost 4k coins to play a standard round and I’ve been gone for 2.5 hours, I should be able to collect 10k coins. Overall, it’s a fun game and I like playing it. But the rewards system and unforgiving RNG is burning me out fast.

Not Sustainable

While this game has a lot of potential, it is not sustainable. Moving up levels, everything costs more but you’re not winning or gaining more, leaving the only option to come back every hour to collect the prize coins and maybe you can play two levels a day. Wild cards and additional cards are going to be needed but every single time you buy one the price goes up. If you leave the game, you’ve lost your coins, haven’t advanced and have to wait until you collect more coins. The packages to buy more coins is almost reasonable yet having to do so as often as each person needs to isn’t sustainable. With this economy and so many people not having jobs makes that hard. This could be a very good game for those suffering with anxiety and depression (amongst other things) as it gives you goals to work for as well as puzzles to complete and new character arcs to be able to complete. But again, costing an arm and a leg to play isn’t sustainable. The price to pay per level needs to drop and stay at a lower rate. You’re only winning enough coins to play the next level, possibly. The amount of coins it takes to get an extra hand or wild card is astronomical and needs to come way down. There’s no reason it should be so high and continue to rise. If what a person is winning isn’t going to get any higher, then why are the extras needed rising higher and higher by thousands? That all needs to change before this game can be truly enjoyable and relaxing.

Fun But a Money Grab

I enjoy this game. It’s fun, provides some challenge, and offers a lot of variety. The multiple Disney scenes that you unlock are well designed too. My biggest frustration with the game is how often it will switch from giving you the exact cards you need to beat a level at the very last moment to giving you zero cards to help complete the level. You, of course, can spend coins to get 5 bonus cards or a golden wild card, but they cost more and more as you increase in levels. I have grown increasingly frustrated as I’ve gone up in levels, and I’m now in the 700s. Like I said, I have enjoyed this game, and I will probably continue to play it here and there. However, I’m tired of playing what seems like a rigged game randomized to force the purchasing of coins. I’ve purchased some coins to pay patronage to the designers and developers, but based on how fast the coins get spent, I’m not eager to purchase any more. Also, I found out that once you beat a challenge level like the Hades Challenge, all of the challenges require more material to beat them. That’s disappointing. Some suggestions to improve the user experience are to lower the cost of the 5-pack and to rework the game so there’s a little more skill involved that doesn’t require the use of a golden wild card.

I used to love Disney Solitaire but not anymore.

I used to love Disney solitaire . I downloaded it the first day it came out. It was fun until it wasn’t. Why is everything behind a paywall now?Because after you hit level 2000 like I did, the game has moved everything behind a paywall. If you need food to make dishes in chef’s kitchen if you don’t have enough coins to play a game of solitaire , which you must win , you hit a paywall. You no longer can make coins ,by watching ads after clicking on the movie popcorn bucket icon , so you can play a game of solitaire. You used to be able to watch enough ads to win 50,000 worth of coins to afford to play games of solitaire if you didn’t want to or can’t afford to pay in order to continue to play solitaire games, because the amount of coins you need to pay in order to play a game of solitaire keeps increasing every few solitaire games automatically as you play , and you also win 50 puzzle pieces to be able to create puzzles to win more coins. And you also win a basket of food items to be able to create dishes in chef’s kitchen. Everything is behind a paywall in order to advance in the Disney Solitaire game I guess I will go play King games Candy Crush Solitaire instead because it so far doesn’t have a everything behind a paywall in order to play a game of solitaire . Candy Cush solitaire also has hints to win a game.
