About Solitaire

MobilityWare shipped its Klondike on the App Store's opening day in July 2008; this free edition followed in 2010, reached Google Play in 2011 and now counts more than 100 million Android installs. The rules stay classic, with Draw 1 or Draw 3 and standard or Vegas scoring, topped with Daily Challenges, levels and weekly events. The catch is advertising: players report an ad after most deals, and removing them on Android takes a subscription.

Solitaire Review: Klondike Done Right, Interrupted by an Ad Almost Every Deal

Draw 1, Draw 3 and Vegas Scoring: How the Klondike Rules Work

The table is standard Klondike: 52 cards, seven tableau columns and four foundations, with unlimited trips through the stock in normal play. Standard scoring gives 10 points per card sent to a foundation, takes 2 per undo and 100 per recycle in Draw 1, and rewards fast wins with a time bonus. Vegas scoring starts every deal at minus 52 and pays 5 per foundation card; Draw 1 allows one pass through the stock, Draw 3 allows three, and a cumulative option carries the total between games. The points are only a score, with no money involved. Winning Deals guarantee a solution and offer a Show Me How to Win replay, while a Random Deal may be unwinnable, MobilityWare's help center says.

Daily Challenges: Crowns, Gold Trophies and a One-Month Window

Each day brings one Daily Challenge drawn from the Winning Deals pool, so every one is solvable and has a solution replay. Solving it on release day earns a crown with three red jewels; ten crowns in a month earn bronze, 20 earn silver and a full month earns gold, but you can only go back one previous month to fill gaps. Three Daily Goals, worth 50 to 300 XP each plus 300 XP for clearing all three, reset at local midnight. Streak Freezes unlock on day three, cap at three and protect a run of daily wins. Levels feed titles but do not change deal difficulty, and since the March 2026 update, Save & Load keeps progress through a Google Account or Apple ID.

Ads After Most Deals, and What $9.99 a Year Removes

In August and September 2026, Play reviewers described an ad after almost every deal, some running close to two minutes, with close buttons that opened the store instead; App Store reviewers in September reported scam ads posing as Apple charges. MobilityWare's replies say every ad should close after a short timer. The fix is Premium: $1.99 a month, $4.99 for three months or $9.99 a year after a one-week free trial, with no ads, four exclusive themes and Daily Challenges up to seven days ahead. The help center lists only subscription terms for Android, while iPhone owners can buy a separate ad-free edition for $4.99. US prices may change.

Ad Tracking Labels and Premium Glitches Reported in 2026

Apple's privacy label says identifiers and usage data may be used to track you across other companies' apps, and the Play data safety form lists app interactions and device IDs shared for advertising, plus installed apps collected for personalization. Settings offer Request My Data, Delete My Data and an opt-out. Paying does not always end the ads: from late August to October 2026, Play reviewers said Premium showed ads when the game could not reach the store, and several Play Pass members, whose listing promises no ads, reported ads after games between June and September.

Pros

  • Draw 1 or Draw 3, with standard or points-only Vegas scoring
  • Every Daily Challenge is solvable, with a Show Me How to Win replay
  • Monthly bronze, silver and gold trophies for 10, 20 or all crowns
  • Free hints and unlimited undos, plus left-handed and landscape layouts
  • Save & Load carries progress across devices since the March 2026 update
  • Premium removes ads for $9.99 a year after a free week

Cons

  • 2026 reviewers report an ad after most deals, some near two minutes long
  • Ad removal on Android is subscription-only, per the help center
  • Apple's label lists identifiers and usage data used for cross-app tracking
  • Premium and Play Pass players report ads appearing anyway in 2026

Verdict

We score it 7.3: the Klondike underneath covers Draw 1 or 3, Vegas scoring, solvable Daily Challenges and monthly trophies, while advertising drags Monetisation to 4.5. Take it if you play daily and will pay $9.99 a year, or own an iPhone and prefer the $4.99 ad-free edition. Skip the free version if an ad per deal will grate: Microsoft Solitaire Collection adds Spider, FreeCell, TriPeaks and Pyramid with Premium also listed at $1.99 and $9.99, and Solitaire Grand Harvest is farm-themed TriPeaks with items up to $349.99.

Gameplay8.5Faithful Klondike with Draw 1 or 3, Vegas scoring and Winning Deals that always have a solution.

Graphics & sound7.5Clean classic card faces, photo backgrounds and dark mode; reviewers report loud ads and stray background music.
Monetisation4.5Ads after most deals in 2026 accounts; removal needs a $1.99 monthly or $9.99 yearly plan.

Frequently asked questions

1

Can you play Solitaire by MobilityWare offline?

Partly. Random Deals play without a connection, and Google Play tags the game as offline-capable, but Daily Challenges, Winning Deals and leaderboards need internet. If a Winning Deal takes too long to load, the game hands you a random deal instead. Some Premium subscribers report ads and subscribe prompts when the store cannot be reached.

2

How much does it cost to remove ads from MobilityWare Solitaire?

Premium costs $1.99 a month, $4.99 for three months or $9.99 a year in the US, with a one-week free trial for new subscribers, and it does not carry over between Android and iPhone. On iPhone, a separate ad-free edition sells for $4.99 once; on Android, Google Play Pass also covers the game. Prices vary by region.

3

What devices can run Solitaire by MobilityWare?

iPhone and iPad on iOS 15 or later, Macs with Apple silicon on macOS 12, Apple Vision Pro and Apple TV, according to the App Store, plus Android 8.0 or later. Google Play also lists it for Windows through Google Play Games. Apple Watch support has ended. Downloads are about 437 MB on iPhone and 228 MB on Android.

4

Does Solitaire by MobilityWare have multiplayer?

In a limited form. A Multiplayer mode with Leagues arrived in December 2024, and Daily Challenge deals have leaderboards for First Play, Best Score and Fewest Moves. Several 2026 reviewers doubt the league opponents are real people; MobilityWare's public replies do not say how opponents are matched.

5

How long does a game of MobilityWare Solitaire take?

Usually a few minutes: one September 2026 Play reviewer, objecting to an ad after every hand, put the gap at about two minutes. Speed counts: standard scoring's bonus is 700,000 divided by your winning time in seconds, and leaderboard time bonuses stop for wins under 25 seconds.
