Leave a Review Card Shark Solitaire
Interesting Games
Update: Did y’all just add gunshot sounds to your games? Where are they they are all along and just got turned on on my iPad somehow? Good gracious, more “gunshot” is the last thing we need these days.
Original: I've had Card Shark since I had an iPhone 3! It remains a favorite go-to app. Nice variety of games that all work well on my iPhone, fast and no glitches.Show lessAustinGramma
This game is fun, but challenging
This game fascinates me, because it is so hard to win, but I kind of like the challenge. Still , I have another Canfield App that gives an option to play turning one card at a time, and I wish this one had that option; also the choice to move some of the cards instead of all or none. It’s nice to have the easier choice to go to after losing a dozen or so games in a row!Show lessMeemaBaps
Love this game
As I have old
eyes, I love the size of these cards. They are large and easy to see. I also love the fact that so far, no ads, but not sure how long this will last. Definitely going to pay for the upgradecant find one not taken!
I love Card Shark
I’ve been playing Card Shark for several years & havevenjoyed it very much. I really like that I have the option to restart a game that I came close to winning but missed the goal. In that case I restart & choose another option that came up during the game but I chose another card. It’s especially nice when the second option was the winner!Show lessbharrya2

I like playing, but too few wins. I think your wins should be reduced to a more user friendly game. Although there is less ego now than when I was playing a year or two ago. I kept repeating a won game to change averaging until game would not let me replay won game.8timeloser
Good game
I’ve been playing for several years and I’ve tried other versions but I keep coming back to this one. This one seems less gimmicky and more basic. Once in a while a card will freeze up but if i tap where it came from it resets. Overall I like it.eeeeeeeeeeeiie
Relaxing
Lose myself in the game. Worries disappear for a time. Mind enters a state of higher thinking. Being able to retrace steps allows replay of each game with a different strategy with a different result. When returning to reality, can then see many of life’s options more clearly. KUDOS!!!judgemarc
Hours of distraction!
I already submitted a review from the app on my phone, but the app is asking me for one again from my tablet. Anyway, lots of fun, lots of games for variety too! My only complaint is that my gut is the deals are weighted on Klondike-3 so that they are not truly random. There are far too many times that a streak, either good or bad, but mostly bad, go on for an extremely long sequence of games. It seems unlikely that with truly random deals that there would be 30+ losses in a row. Otherwise, much fun and nicely packaged!!Show lessZelig2u
Great game-fun for hours
I have enjoyed the numerous number of games and variations. It has been addictive. I like that you can pause and return at any time. The undo and restart feature is helpful when you are stuck on a difficult game and need to play out a different scenario. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys solitaire games.Show lessSpeechbug99
Fun for a couple of years
Depending on how much you play this game is only good for a couple of years. They are a terrific couple of years, and that’s why I gave it three stars, but then the game falls apart.
For quite a while now the game has been doing funny things regarding shuffling. The most repeatable aspect is having the same card turn up on consecutive flips of the pile; you turn over 3 of clubs, 3 of clubs, for instance. The first few times I figured “random chance” but it quickly reached the point where this happened every game. In the last week the there have now been TWO sets of consecutive cards in every deck and in two of the last three games I played they have come back-to-back (5 of clubs, 5 of clubs, 5 of spades, 5 of spades flipped over, actual example).
There are some other things going on that can’t be attributed to chance but this one is the most noticeable. The game can still be fun but you do feel like it’s being manipulated. To be honest, I keep playing just to see how bad it gets. Is the shuffling algorithm deteriorating? Have I run out of prerecorded deck shuffles? I don’t know how the game is written so I can’t say but I tried deleting the game last week and then downloading it again and, as recorded above, the game just got worse.
So, fun while it lasted. Maybe I can find another game or maybe Rick Holtzgraf will fulfill my dream and rewrite Solitaire ‘Til Dawn for iOS. Oh, well.Show lessJake Lonergan
