### 5/5 — Consistent and ad free. Varied games

*2026-02-07, version 10.3*

Great app! So many different and challenging games.

### 5/5 — By the book

*2026-01-24, version 10.3*

Many games played properly. Game difficulty is just right. A great companion in waiting rooms.

### 3/5 — Great app

*2026-01-21, version 10.3*

Addendum Jan 2026. No way to email developer which is annoying but since iOS 26.2, the graphics lag badly. Please please update the app!! I love it but will need to migrate to a newer one if the slow graphics persist. I’m on an iPhone 14 Pro Max with loads of space. Graphics have never been slow/choppy until the last iOS update. 

Love it. Play 6-8 of the games. Never heard of the rest. Instructions are vague often but you can find them online pretty easily and then play here. Like the added speed recently!

### 5/5 — CARD SHARK

*2026-01-13, version 10.3*

No pushing new games. Interesting & many games. I really enjoy most of your Solitary games. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Collection of Games

*2026-01-10, version 10.3*

This has been my go to card game for years. And I have probably not made it through half of what it has to offer. But it is extremely fun and I’ve never had an issue with it. I couldn’t ask for more.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-04, version 10.3*

No subscription. Works great. Lots of simple games.

### 2/5 — Hint Button or No more moves

*2026-01-04, version 10.3*

There needs to a hint button or if there are no more moves. I had to leave many games like Yukon, classic or spider because I didn’t see a move or no moves left. This is not fun trying to see a move that is not there and no way to know there are no move

### 5/5 — Been Playing this for Years

*2025-12-26, version 10.3*

This is one of the most enduring games great for when you need to fill a small amount of time. there have been some updates through the years. I would like an undo button in canasta because occasionally a card gets dropped and lands on the discard pile instead of making a meld or a canasta. I would love to see Russian Bank on here .thank you.

### 5/5 — Best version of Canfield!

*2025-12-26, version 10.3*

This version of Canfield takes me back to grandma and grandpa Olson’s kitchen table.

### 5/5 — My favorite app

*2025-12-25, version 10.3*

I’ve had this app for more than 10 years and play it almost every day. You can save the ones you like to the top of the list. I have 30 or 40 of those, and they’re a great way to kill a bit of time when standing in line or waiting for ads to get done on TV or whatever. Hands down my favorite app.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-11-29, version 10.3*

I’ve played this for years and just recently it’s started to reset randomly.  The score also doesn’t increase as before. I love this game as was wondering what could be going on.  Thanks

### 5/5 — Spider 1

*2025-11-28, version 10.3*

An easy but engaging game. Fun for all ages.

### 2/5 — Great online & offline huge choice of ca rd games no annoying ads

*2025-11-26, version 10.3*

Great for air travel

### 3/5 — Euchre

*2025-09-20, version 10.3*

So many great things except whoever taught the AI to play Euchre is an idiot

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2025-08-30, version 10.3*

My go-to app every single day to unwind. Never get tired or bored with it as there are so many choices. Not depending on wi-fi is a huge plus. Thank you so much for all the fun years!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-08-11, version 10.3*

Best card app I've used. Lots of different games. I have had it for years.

### 5/5 — If you love card games this is the one

*2025-08-02, version 10.3*

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2026-01-25, version 10.3*

This used to be the best app to play card games. Not so much anymore. The fast play that you can’t turn off. This app has gotten more frustrating than fun to play. Idk why I’m even leaving a review instead of just deleting it since apple removes all the negative reviews. I suppose it’s because I’m hoping the developer will update it to be more user friendly again like it used to be but I doubt it. And I guarantee apple will remove this because it’s negative against this developer. So much for transparency and open and honest feedback

### 1/5 — Best Card Game I've seen

*2025-12-14, version 10.3*

A super collection of card games. I play it all the time and I am very glad to see they have updated it for Apple's upcoming iOS.  Was worried they wouldn't for a bit but they came through...  🎈👍👍🎈   Love the games this one app is the most used on my machine.  Well worth the download IMO.  Get it and enjoy!!!

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2025-11-30, version 10.3*

There’s a lot of problems with the game and they haven’t updated in years so they obviously don’t care

### 1/5 — Please fix ASAP

*2025-06-30, version 10.3*

Every time I click on a game to play it only plays spider solitaire even if I click black jack please fix this or I will delete the app

### 1/5 — Cards to small

*2025-06-01, version 10.3*

In Spades please put the cards back to being horizontal. The cards are way too small vertically.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2025-03-08, version 10.3*

### 1/5 — Used to be really fun to play

*2024-12-19, version 10.3*

After the past update awhile back this game just isn’t near what it was. Some game were so fun to play and you actually had a chance to win some of them. Not so much anymore. Some games I would play for hours and now that’s far from the case. Now I find it easier to close out the app and do something else with my time due to the frustration of trying to play them after updating the app. Oh well. Probably better than spending all my time in this app. Whoever thought that fast play for the bots was a good idea, thanks for ruining this game.

### 1/5 — This game will cheat

*2023-12-08, version 10.3*

When I first got this game I loved to play Spades. I’ve played for years with real people. However, this app has taken something I enjoyed and ruined it.  I don’t expect to win every time but you can tell when the algorithm is cheating you. The bots know what you have in your hand. If you are no threat they play totally different.  I’ve decided to start playing on Pogo at least they don’t cheat.

### 1/5 — Spastic Card Movement After Latest Update

*2023-02-18*

I hope you finally address this one day: It’s easy to move a card to discard but accidentally drop it in the main playing area (table or foundation) - or some type of move not allowed. Especially on mobile devices, very easy. The app points out the error. But there is often no way of getting out of the situation, esp. if no un-do exists. I have tried to move the cards out of the area they don’t belong in, but to no avail. I have hard-closed the app, tried again later, but to no avail. The game will not go further, and the app will not let me get the card out of the un-allowed spot. With one or two games, sometimes I was able to move yet another card from ‘my playing hand’ to discard, and then all the others I had played on table or foundation plus both the attempted discards fell back to “my hand” of cards. Sometimes I had to go through those steps two or three times before it worked and let the game continue. But other times, the app won’t even do that. Please allow us a way to fix this hand-movement error, at least let us remove the card that ended up in the wrong spot back to where it was. 

Update on Oct 29, 2022. It is also difficult to play cards near the far left & right. Part of the card acts like the score icon if to far left and home icon if to far right side - and thus pulls up other screens. And the cards move spastically. End Update. Cards move spastically since latest update (fall 2022). It’s worse in some games than others. Any games with ‘rummy’ in the title are among the worst. What a shame, because this was one of my favorite game apps until now.

### 1/5 — Card Shark

*2022-10-17, version 10.1*

It’s a great game, but I do not appreciate the way u have to keep tapping my IPad to play &  most of time u can’t see what the other players have played.  Example only 2 cards are shown by the other players then ur meant to start again, not noting what’s been played.   Not happy !!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-13, version 10.3*

A challenge for any level-many games to chose from- hours of entertainment on a long flight or car ride, and NO ADS!

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-08-12, version 10.3*

So many games for a modest cost. Top notch!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-07-27, version 10.3*

I like the various games and can have my favorites right up front!

### 5/5 — Still excellent

*2026-07-24, version 10.3*

I got this with 12 years ago and it still plays great!

### 5/5 — Great way to pass a few free minutes

*2026-07-23, version 10.3*

I’ve had this app on every phone I’ve owned going all the way to the iPhone 3GS and it’s the only leisure app that I’ve kept going back to over all those years.

In fact I’m a bit ashamed to say that I’ve played Bristol Solitaire for over 110hrs in total, with a current winning streak of 3,000 games!

### 5/5 — Best game!

*2026-07-11, version 10.3*

This is the best game collection ever!  I’ve been playing it for years.  It has some of my favorite games, and I can play for hours.  No glitches, no ads, just good solid error free games.

### 5/5 — Upgrade excellent

*2026-05-22, version 10.3*

Update 5/26
I’ve been playing this game since it came out it still the very best card game in the App Store !!


Update:  this app keeps improving. User feedback is well received. New games added often. You only need one card games app if you have this one!!

Original:
The games, options, and graphics just keep getting better and better.  Get crazy!  Pay for the full $.99 version. Unlike most apps you buy, this one will not disappoint.

### 5/5 — Love the love logic!

*2026-03-25, version 10.3*

Great game!! Requires mental sharpness to juggle 3-4 options at once. Addictive challenging game.

### 5/5 — Nice Euchre

*2026-03-19, version 10.3*

The computer opponents play like real players!  Also when I have to close the app in the middle of a game, it resumes seamlessly the next time I open it.  I find it very relaxing.

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2026-02-24, version 10.3*

Worth it
