(new title) *2026-07-30, version 1.29* Lost 5 siblings b4, during and after Covid… I broke in 2, after my husband passed last June(2023)… my son and family sorta took me by the hand and helped me thru a tragic time in my life. I fought to get my mind and MEMORY back… you may not believe this but ‘mind games like your solitaire helped me MAKE my brain to work- I don’t know the medical terms for strengthening electrical points (?)/things that may have been discovered regarding our brains waves or??? but the more I play solitaire the more I’m remembering 🤣 Thank you for asking😎🙏 ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-05-14, version 1.26* Just right not to many intrusive adds 🥰 ### 5/5 — Solitaire *2026-04-30, version 1.26* Great games to have on your phone or tablet, easy to play and convenient for those long hours in waiting rooms. Enjoy! ### 4/5 — Great games. *2026-04-25, version 1.26* Ads aren’t bad but I would pay a couple dollars to remove them. ### 5/5 — Great games *2026-04-14, version 1.26* Fun games no stressful ads or begging for money. I really appreciate that. So grateful. ### 5/5 — Great for focus *2026-03-27, version 1.26* Love playing the pyramid version while I listen to audiobooks or podcasts. I find it helps me pay attention better. Probably an ADHD thing, but I’m glad I have it. Love their games in general. No distracting bells and whistles. Just the game play that you’re looking for. And great support if you have a question or feedback. ### 5/5 — Fun time *2026-02-24, version 1.26* Always a game to play,such fun ### 4/5 — Am I stuck? *2026-02-20, version 1.26* I love Boy Howdy games, but the classic solitaire “am I stuck” button is nowhere to be found, even when I select the option in the settings. :( This is why I’ve given it four stars, not five! ### 5/5 — What more could you want? *2026-02-18, version 1.26* Multiple modes with no BS. The only ads are unobtrusive banners at the bottom. Boy Howdy makes game apps that are simple and perfect, just like games of yesteryear. Don’t settle for anything else. ### 5/5 — Patsy Ann *2026-01-26, version 1.24* Just love Boy Howdy - my favourite site for games ### 5/5 — No fuss solitaire *2026-01-16, version 1.24* No crazy ads or pointless progression systems. Just solitaire for the love of the game. Thank you devs. ### 5/5 — Solitaire Collection *2026-01-15, version 1.24* I play this game everyday, love it ### 4/5 — Great support and game *2026-01-09, version 1.24* I contacted Boy Howdy to transfer my games on a new device. I play spider solitaire more than the original solitaire. This is my go to game ### 5/5 — Truly ad free, no stress *2025-11-05, version 1.23* It’s so nice to have no ads and various solitaire games to play. Thank you Boy Howdy for providing this relaxing app, free of charge. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app and company *2025-10-29, version 1.23* I love this app and all of the apps that this company makes. None of them have pop-up ads, which is so nice and refreshing. It’s great to be able to just play a game. ### 5/5 — Love this version *2025-10-26, version 1.22* Love the different choices of solitaire and best of all No Ads !!! ### 5/5 — Boy Howdy is the best! *2025-10-22, version 1.22* Best games, no ads, just relaxed fun! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Cards *2025-10-21, version 1.22* This is a great collection of games. Can be a challenge but very addictive and loads of fun ### 5/5 — Fun, easy Game *2025-10-21, version 1.22* I love BH games. They are what the say, stress reliever ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No more *2026-03-31, version 1.26* I’ve enjoyed and appreciated Boy Howdy games for more tan 12 years. I wanted to move my wins from an older to new iPad but was confronted with a form to fill negating the use of tech features on my device. A great software benefits all users. I will no longer support businesses that thwart my use of tech. ### 1/5 — Postage Stamp *2025-09-08, version 1.21* Easier to win in Reno, NV than it is on this game. More fun in Reno. ### 1/5 — This game runs very hot on iPad *2025-07-24, version 1.21* Installed early in 2025. Runs unreasonably hot. Made me consider that the game just might be doing stuff besides solitaire, perhaps it could be violating my privacy. Deleted it and other Boy Howdy games that also ran hot. ### 1/5 — New version isn't good. *2020-08-14, version 1.10* The newest version uses way too much battery, and lags terribly. The problem is the ads. If I turn off wi-fi and cell data, it works perfectly because the ads don't load. But then I can't use my phone as... a phone. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2023-09-13* Was pleased at first as there were a number of games to play. However, it quit letting me change games after playing one a few rounds. It somehow allowed me to choose again, won’t let me change again after a few rounds! So, is this another app that has to be deleted? **Developer response:** Howdy! We'd love to help you fix your problem. Please use the App Support link here or the Contact Us button in the app to email us and Julie will help you. ### 2/5 — Very hard but it is a challenge that I enjoy! *2023-09-01, version 1.15* I just wish I could win…I’ve played about 80 times without winning once😬 But I will keep trying! ### 2/5 — Boy Honduras solitaire collection *2019-04-30, version 1.7* Comme tous les jeux sur l'application Apple les jeux sacades ou ont perd tout.c'est désolant et frustrant (c'est de la merde).... ### 3/5 — What Happened to Spider? *2025-02-23* I like the boy howdy games and wish I could give them 5 stars but I have noticed that once you play any of their games over time, you cannot win anymore, which is weird to say the least. For ex.: I won 39 games of Spider solitaire (probably a good third of the games, maybe more) and then, every deal since is just impossible to win: like, 2 Kings and the rest all 8s, ridiculous. I even tried to churn through, thinking it was a patch of algorithm dumbness, but no. So I started looking at my other BH games and same: the longer you play, then less you can win. I don't get that business model at all. So, 3 stars for no ads (but banner ads do appear after a while so...) and solid graphics, but why build any game where loyalty is a demotion rather than rewarded, or at least, consistent? **Developer response:** Howdy! Our Solitaire games are completely random. We do not set up the order of cards for the games; it's just like you are shuffling the cards. We would never set up one of our games so that players lost on purpose - that wouldn't be any fun! For a change of pace, you could try a different difficulty level in Spider Solitaire (tap the Menu button, tap Start a New Game, tap Fun, Hard, Tricky or Genius.) If you have any questions, we’re happy to help!

Good size on iPad so can easily see. Have enjoyed for over 5 years ### 5/5 — One of the best *2026-08-08, version 1.29* One of the most underrated apps out there. I’ve played this for years, and no intention of ever deleting. Simple interface, classic solitaire collection, nothing over the top. Just done right. ### 5/5 — My view *2026-08-07, version 1.29* Boy Howdy, must be a cowboy, has created a good collection of favourite solitaires not to mention lots of other solitaires that are available from Boy Howdy so have lots of fun doing them. ### 5/5 — Mind exercise *2026-08-05, version 1.29* These game keep the brain working as we get older these are a great starter ### 5/5 — Classic Solitaire *2026-07-19, version 1.29* This is absolutely the best classic solitaire game I have ever found. It functions perfectly, it moves very quickly, it allows you to “undo” to correct mistakes, it allows manual repositioning, the cards are large and easy to see.. AND ..there are lots of other solitaire games to play if you get bored with one. Boy Howdy, these folks make some great games! ### 5/5 — A favourite app *2026-07-17, version 1.29* Boy Howdy are one of my favourite game creators. No annoying pop up ads to disturb play. A simple scoring system and an easy way to go back and replay any game. Not fancy, but fun, and doesn’t take up too much room on my tablet. The solitaire collection is a particular favourite as the games are all in one app, so there’s lots to choose from. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-06-16, version 1.26* After so many years still good. ### 5/5 — best Solitaire Game Ever *2026-06-09, version 1.26* - I’ve been playing for years and never get bored. ### 5/5 — Solitaire *2026-05-27, version 1.26* Hours of fun multiple level can’t be beat ### 5/5 — The best games, no adds *2026-05-21, version 1.26* I spend all my free time with Boy Howdy. I trust them. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
