★★★★★ Fun game but ads lock up my iPhone after each game
★★★★★ Fine with some ads, but literally I can't start new games because the full page ad won't release the screen.
★★★★★ Recent changes make the free game unplayable because of the ads.
33 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ So I have deleted the game and won't use it any more.
★★★★★ I deleted it and found something else to play.
★★★★★ I deleted the app after adds started covering the cards while playing…absolutely too ridiculous and annoying.
18 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ The new update dumps a partial page ad with no way to exit.
★★★★★ So I paid for that and now I'm expected to pay another $12 for a game that hasn't been updated in years?
★★★★★ Once it's not happening I'll update my review.
16 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Now they have ads that cover up the cards when you are playing. Do they even test these things? It's useless now. Is this a ploy to make you buy the paid version?
★★★★★ I love playing FreeCell on this app, but over the past few days this app will not open. It's freezes on the Brainium opening page and then shut down. If this isn't fixed soon I'll be deleting the app and finding the…
★★★★★ Tried deleting it and losing all the game history, reloaded and it still doesn't work.

★★★★★ Kalshi gambling app is paying big money to shove adds that last 2 minutes or more before you can exit and play game.
★★★★★ Way too many scam ads come up while playing and not between games.
★★★★★ I know they want you to buy it but you don't even know how long $11.99 (too high) price tag lasts.

★★★★★ It's freezes on the Brainium opening page and then shut down.
★★★★★ Whenever I open the app, it now freezes.
★★★★★ Game no longer loads on my iPad. Tried deleting it and losing all the game history, reloaded and it still doesn't work. That's a shame, I used to play every day.
7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Very annoying low quality irrelevant adds before and during game.
★★★★★ This renders the game useless.
★★★★★ Nothing but ads! Paid the subscription for ad free app three years ago and all of a sudden, the app is unusable because of being BOMBARDED with stupid, annoying banner ads
7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ The new update dumps a partial page ad with no way to exit.
★★★★★ But having ads pop up every 1-2 minutes for 15+ seconds with no way to close them was just too obtrusive.
★★★★★ There seems to be no way to remove them so you either have to wait it out - adding time to your total or try to remember what cards are where.
53 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ For fun, I looked at my total score before writing this review and it's over 5.3 million and I've just passed 13,000 games played.
★★★★★ Great fun but why do you allow scam artists to advertise as Talbots and other stores.
★★★★★ Who would ever think this could be entertaining?
29 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ Loved this game but now has ads that come right in the middle of the game. No!!
★★★★★ Convenient entertainment for a few minutes or half an hour. You get pulled back time and again to challenge yourself. Great fun and a quick break. Thank you
★★★★★ No - I'm not paying for ad free.
10 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ This game can be very challenging. Never giving up is tough but rewarding when it finally works.
★★★★★ I chose “easy” and on every occasion where I could beat the clock, the app stalls and I literally cannot fill a particular space for a few seconds.
★★★★★ It takes a little getting used to to autocomplete function when it is clear that you have won the the game, but it is easy to get used to.
3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ Great fun and a quick break.
★★★★★ It's quick and fun and has ease annoying ads
★★★★★ You can play a quick game or sit down to a marathon depending on how much time you have😀.

Fun game but ads lock up my iPhone after each game
I’ve had this app for years. Now just another app that sells your data. I’ve definitely had an uptick in junk mail, junk email, and downgrade in searches. It’s getting more difficult not to delete. The worst part is that I paid for the app just to avoid all of this.
Fine with some ads, but literally I can’t start new games because the full page ad won’t release the screen. Nothing helps
The Best Game.
Recent changes make the free game unplayable because of the ads. When they’re at the top of the screen, they keep changing, flashing bright colors, etc. When the full screen adds appear, they aren’t easy to get off the screen to get back to the game. Usually have to close app and reopen. It went from my favorite game to me removing it from my phone. And no, not gonna pay $12 to remove ads
Kalshi gambling app is paying big money to shove adds that last 2 minutes or more before you can exit and play game. This makes the free version unusable.
