Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

84/100

Castle Solitaire is a brilliant, fast-paced reimagining of the classic solitaire formula by the experts at MobilityWare. Unlike traditional Klondike, which can sometimes feel slow or prone to unsolvable boards, Castle Solitaire is designed for quick, 'snackable' sessions. The goal is to build up four 'castles' from Ace to King by arranging cards in descending order. It feels like a hybrid between Vanishing Cross and King’s Corner, providing just enough of a 'twist' to make it feel fresh while remaining immediately intuitive to anyone who has ever held a deck of cards.

What truly makes this version stand out is the level of customization and the sense of progression. You aren't just playing endless hands; you are earning titles that take you from a humble 'Serf' to 'Town Crier' and eventually to the top of the social ladder. The ability to use your own photos as backgrounds is a personal touch that many competitors lack. The game is incredibly polished, with crisp animations and celebratory effects when you clear a board. For a free card game, it offers a surprisingly deep experience, especially with the inclusion of Daily Challenges that keep the gameplay from ever feeling stagnant.

Yes, it’s a faster-paced version where you build four castles simultaneously, similar to games like King's Corner but with a royal theme.

Fun game with new improvements
Thu May 16 2024 Rick_6857463524

They recently added a few new improvements that add a lot to the game, but were not explained very well in the update notes. PUZZLES: It appeared that they had removed the puzzles because there were no longer puzzle animations each day , but they just made it work differently. Instead of having the puzzle game automatically tied to the first game you play, you have to go into the puzzle section in the Settings section and choose to play a puzzle game. More complex and one is more likely to forget to play the puzzle game, but at least it is still available. UPDATE: The old puzzle animation is back! Yeah! Now you are reminded of the puzzle game on the main page and can select it from there. EVENTS: There is a new events tracking page that I like and there appears to be more frequent events. I like this change. DAILY STREAK: They added a daily streak icon. It is implemented very well and makes you want to keep the streak going. Overall, I really like this game. It hits a sweet spot by not being too hard nor too easy - just a fun way to relax and engage your mind in a restful way.

Bird sorting ad
Mon Dec 01 2025 omg no nickname ever

When this ad comes up I cringe I have timed it and it takes almost 3 minutes for it to go away. I really like this game but the ads are a pain some of the other ads you have to tap 3 to 4 x’s before they go away. Please do something about the ads they don’t need to last that long. I went back to the castle game after writing this and the bird sorting ad was still there I can’t get it to go away so now it has been blocking me from playing the castle game for almost 20 minutes and on the ad it lets you report if you like it or not and states that the ad will go away after you report it but it doesn’t. REALLY!!!!! I received a reply and was told to delete game and download it again so I don’t did an I was on level 61 when I had to remove the game and now I have to start all over again. Now on level 17 and the game locked up again so I had to delete it again. But I’m done I won’t be playing it anymore which is pretty sad this is a really fun game to bad there are negative glitches won’t be able to recommend it. I hope no one else has issues so they can enjoy playing. Have a blessed day!

I have a complaint which is true of all of your games that I play. The goals are always there but usually I only worry about beating the present day and getting the jeweled crown. I do go back to get any missed days without a jewel but still a crown. I’m aware of how the goals work but right now I play about 15 different games and my personal goal is to play each one at least once per day. The problem I have with goals is when the pop up comes on the screen saying I’m halfway thru a goal. The pop up still startles me even though I’ve been playing these games for over a year. It breaks my train of thought and many times obscures the move I’m trying to make. It’s gotten so I hate it instead of appreciating the update. Something calmer or less jarring would be better for me. I realize I’m only one person but I thought I would share my reaction. When it happened just now while playing Castle it actually upset my stomach.

If you like ads… Part 2
Tue Feb 06 2024 temulac41

This is the game for them. Played 5 games after installing this; got treated to an ad after EVERY GAME. After the fifth game, the same ad ran TWICE in a row, then hung at a black screen. Too bad. Don’t like the ads? $24 per year. That’s why they don’t want to just put a price tag on the app - it’s only a one-time purchase. Instead, you can subscribe to an ad-free experience for $24 every year. Sorry… not into subscriptions. Or extortion. UPDATE: After a few weeks of trying to play, my opinion has only gotten worse. Three games, then iPad freezes up. Or restarts. Every time. If you really need to bombard people with ads, at least get them to work properly. If other Mobility games are like this, forget it. I attempted several times to contact the, through their “in-game” support links, but they’re useless - so maybe they’ll read this. On second thought, after looking at all the other negative reviews, it looks like they simply have an auto-reply that answers nothing.

Great game BUT…
Fri Jan 23 2026 progator74

Responding and saying that you need information about my device is ridiculous. The device I use has nothing to do with the type of ads I’m getting. Poor support lowers rating to 2 stars. Try harder… I love the game! It really passes the time when needed. The issue I have and the reason for the lower rating is because of the ads. I know ads are needed, and I don’t mind most of them because I can easily get by them. The ads I speak of are the ones that automatically open an unwanted web page. How do we know that these pages are safe? How do we know there isn’t a virus associated with the link automatically opening on our devices? That’s irresponsible on the part of the developers, and could be putting a lot of game players at risk. Ads are ads, and we have the option of whether we want to get more info or not. The auto links don’t give you that option and for that reason I have given 3 stars.

Game crashes
Sat Apr 12 2025 MrsSmokey71

I uninstalled the app from my iPad because I lost my 46 day streak and the app was still crashing. This is the last time I’m going to write a review except maybe for a goodbye review!!! I’m tired of the game STILL crashing when I try to play!!! If you can’t maintain your game then people will uninstall it & for those looking to play a game will not install it if they read the reviews!!! How many times do we, the players have to ask for you to update the game/app??? Thanks, but the app wasn’t updated to take care of the bugs causing it to not load/crash 🙄🫤. My iPad is updated, so it’s not on my end!!! Game starts to load, but crashes - please fix this issue so I don’t lose my 46 day streak & I have a game I can relax and play 🤞😊 Game still won’t load 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️😡. It takes umpteen times to get the app to work, but today it’s not working so Now I’m gonna lose a 45 day win streak 🤬. The game starts to load but the crashes and has for the last several days

Elderly fun

I like this game a lot. I tend to play it every day and really enjoy now that I can keep a streak, especially like design, which makes it both simple and challenging as well as fast-paced. I tend to like to do the goals and try and get all four of them in one deal, I liked it. There was an ad free version that I could get which keeps the pace even smoother. I also really like the success rate being pretty high and yet some great challenges Daily and then I can decide what level I feel particularly challenged by. I’m a little bit older, but young at heart and I think this definitely keeps my brain pretty sharp. Thanks to whoever developed this. It really is quite smooth and enjoyable.

MobilityWare is, IMO, the most ethical, honest and best game app producers I’ve ever come across in the App Store. Their subscription costs are fair &, the ad lengths are fair & they don’t seem to allow ads to mess up your game experience & their game apps run smoothly & glitch free- across all their games that I’ve tried - & I’ve tried 5-7 of them. They don’t cheat or play tricks on players. I can’t say that about the many other apps Ive played. I would ask MobilityWare if they could add a toggle to turn off the Daily Goals page. I’ve played 1500 + hands & I really don’t need/want that page. Thank you for years of playing pleasure! P. S. By “fair” I mean good & ethical!
