As is you have to manually move every card to the top piles to complete the game. **Developer response:** Just enable auto move card to foundation in the settings. ### 2/5 — Obnoxious! *2024-06-27* Thinking of deleting this app. There is no way to stop the options bar at the bottom from popping up and down constantly. You cannot program it out or to appear at appropriate times rather than flashing up and down and over the cards all the time. **Developer response:** Only touching on the blank space will switch the visibility of the toolbar, which is designed in this way, and most card games on mobile phones are designed in this way. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2024-02-14, version 3.2.7* Needs an update, because if you use the hint tab it shows you to move that card then hit the hint tab again and it shows you to move that card back. Useless!!! UPDATE!!!!! ### 3/5 — Too many annoying click bait ads *2024-01-08* The game has a good presentation, but you are bombarded with Clickbait ads in between each game. ### 4/5 — Airplane mode *2023-09-18* I only use this in airplane mode. I use it on my iPad so my phone is still available for calls. In airplane mode you don’t have to stare at an ad for 5 seconds before you start. Other than that it’s great. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The new version has added a new option to go back to the previous classic layout. ### 4/5 — FreeCell *2023-04-19, version 3.2.7* Tantalising! ### 4/5 — FreeCell *2023-04-13* Disappointed with ads that won’t go away. Device must be turned off and back on again. Really slows me up during the weekend tournament. To pay to get rid of ads is absolutely unaffordable. ### 3/5 — Great potential *2023-04-02* The ads aren’t bad, and the selection of games is great. I only have two main complaints. Firstly during classic FreeCell it would be nice to have a option to turn off auto move. Secondly, and this is only minor, I don’t see an option to pay for no ads. Not a huge problem for me but I can see how that would be a make or break feature for some. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Stay tuned for our next release. ### 3/5 — Overall good *2023-02-27* Overall this is good, but there is a persistent bug that is never fixed with updates. On random occasions, the cards will “freeze.” They will be outlined in blue and cannot be moved. The only way to turn the freeze off is to hard close the app and restart. I don’t understand why this isn’t fixed. It certainly is not a feature. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. fixed! ### 5/5 — Thanks *2022-10-12, version 3.2.2* Thanks for reading the reviews and responding. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The new version has added a new option to go back to the previous classic layout. ### 5/5 — Update! *2022-10-06* I deleted my previous (So Disappointed) after exploring the updates I did find my games. They were somewhat difficult for me to play because of my poor vision, however I was just informed the original layout will be back! Thank you ! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The new version has added a new option to go back to the previous classic layout. ### 2/5 — Fun game *2022-10-06, version 3.2* Good for a hassle free app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t play in landscape *2026-01-16* Why say you can play in landscape when you really can’t?!?! ### 1/5 — Faulty Algorithm *2024-02-02* This game automatically moves cards to the foundation that are still useful on the board. **Developer response:** Auto moves can set to off, also useful card can undo to back to the board. ### 1/5 — Loud Music *2023-11-30, version 3.2.7* Please get rid of the loud music ### 1/5 — Ads in “FREE” version *2023-11-18, version 3.2.7* Beware that ads do not respect player’s choice of “Muted sound”. If one is playing in environment where silence is required, that silence will be suddenly “blasted” with sounds from certain ads which will disrupt others present. For sure a BIG drawback in using this game. ### 1/5 — Annoying ads *2023-11-12* The ads have become so annoying with the latest update that I had to delete the app. Good riddance. ### 1/5 — Worst update Ever! *2022-10-04* I loved playing this and would have rated a 5. Until the update. It is awful. I deleted it and am searching for a replacement. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The new version has added a new option to go back to the previous classic layout. ### 1/5 — Awful! *2022-10-03* I want the old version back! Hate all the hints even though I have turned them off! Hate this. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The new version has added a new option to go back to the previous classic layout. The hints can turned off. ### 1/5 — Ad won’t close. *2022-02-25* Just started playing Free Cell on my iPad after enjoying Microsoft’s version on my Surface Pro. Unfortunately, the Coach ad won’t close on my iPad, so the game is good for about ten minutes of play and then it’s useless. ### 1/5 — I Can’t See the Board *2021-10-15* It looks zoomed out and extremely small on my iPhone (12 pro max). Make it bigger please. ### 1/5 — Too many adverts *2021-04-12, version 3.1.3* Too many adverts and no way to stop them. They’ve also made the huge mirage of having an advert with Nigel Farage, the most hated man in the UK. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-02-07, version 3.2.8* Fun to play! ### 5/5 — Challenging *2024-12-27, version 3.2.8* Challenging games to exercise the grey matter! ### 5/5 — Deep thought. *2024-08-25* Free cell requires deep thought at least five moves ahead. It's a great way to stay sharp of mind. ### 5/5 — The best FreeCell game *2024-06-24* I like this game of solitaire . It loads a game very fast , and switching games is straightforward. All the themes are free to use. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-03-06, version 3.2.7* Absolutely wonderful addictive little game many thanks 😊😊 ### 5/5 — Happiness *2023-10-16, version 3.2.7* I can play all day and be quite content ### 5/5 — Free cell *2023-04-30, version 3.2.7* I love this game, it is really good for keeping your mind active, lots of problem solving required and the adds are super short⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Free Moment *2023-04-26* I play every free moment on IPad, IPhone. Time passes fast and enjoyable. I believe it keeps the brain active and alert during free time. ### 5/5 — Freecell *2023-04-21* It takes strategy to play this game. It is good for your brain. It keeps me sharp! ### 5/5 — FreeCell review. *2023-04-18, version 3.2.7* FreeCell is one of my favourite games. It is always a challenge and doesn’t always work out easily. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
