### 4/5 — Играть можно

*2025-02-03, version 3.0.2*

Так вы планируете улучшать игру? Например, добавить возможность менять фон /рубашку  на картах и сделать их немного потрёпанными?

### 2/5 — Управление

*2024-01-06, version 3.0.2*

Это самое худшее бестолковое управление приложением для игры в карты. Я не понимаю как мне закончить игру и приступить к новой игре. Я вижу что приложение не обновлялось, надеюсь лишь в этом причина, также есть встроенная покупка, я готов её заплатить, но не за это. Дорабатывайте, и я куплю у вас

### 2/5 — Music

*2023-10-26*

I love the Vegas style solitaire with this app what I don’t like is music coming out of no where when I have music and sound off. Please turn off the music makes me not want to play it

### 3/5 — Проблемы после последнего обновления

*2022-06-30, version 3.0.2*

Не работает на Айпад Аир после последнего обновления, на Айфонах всё норм:

Спасибо за исправление, заработало на айпад аир.

### 2/5 — Ruined a great app

*2022-06-18, version 3.0.0*

I agree with others there is no way to work out how scoring works and it it impossible to get a high score. It is also full of bugs and hangs all the time but still increases time! I want the old one back.

### 3/5 — Can’t turn off auto moving of cards

*2022-05-15*

Ever since the most recent update a month ago, even with everything regarding animation and the auto movement of cards turned off, the cards still move when I don’t want them to. Half of the fun for me with this app was making sure I caught all the moves I could do in a game, and now the next card reveals itself and flies off to the piles on top even with the auto move feature turned off. I also do not like the “levels” feature, another thing that was added in the update. I have yet to find the balance that lets the game be at the difficulty level it was when that could not be set, and now I win almost ever second to third game no matter what level I set it on. I’ve had this app for as long as I’ve had an iPhone which is quite a long time and I’m very disappointed in the updates. It was my favorite solitaire app and now I’m considering looking elsewhere unless at the very least the auto move issue is fixed.

### 3/5 — New is not better

*2022-04-18, version 3.0.0*

I have had this for ages and love it but the new owners of the software have spoiled it by updating the front end. There is no longer an option to replay the game to try a different angle. Please please if it’s not broken don’t fix it

### 2/5 — Restart

*2022-03-31, version 3.0.0*

Where’s the restart button and at the end it doesn’t tell you anymore how many shots or card it took you to finish a game ???

### 1/5 — Update killed this app

*2022-03-28, version 3.0.0*

The latest update in March 2022 totally ruined this app. You can no longer turn off the auto function. Well, you can, but it does it anyway. It’s made it virtually impossible to get a high score. Please take it back to the way it was.

### 2/5 — Interface changes really hurt this game

*2022-03-27, version 3.0.0*

Card turns are much slower, can’t restart a game anymore, aces go face down in the pile…..please go back to earlier 2.9 interface.

### 2/5 — Not just an interface update

*2022-03-24*

This update changes how games are played !
Vegas now allows only a single pass through the deck rather than three.
I’d restore the older version if I could figure out how to on IOS!

### 2/5 — Used to be my favorite game app

*2022-03-24*

The new interface is missing a favorite feature “replay”. It takes away your second chance at solving a game. I don’t mind adds but what makes the adds annoying is the ones with sound should be silent with the option to turn instead they are loud and you have to turn off. The reason this aggravated me is I play the game in areas where I need to be silent. Because of the sound on adds this no longer my goto game app to destress with.

### 3/5 — Плохо

*2021-07-24, version 2.9.16*

Игра кардинально отличается от аналога на андроиде. Нет выбора сложности. Кнопку отмены могли бы вынести отдельно и сделать её покрупнее. Есть абсолютно тупиковые расклады (опять же, на андроиде за 5 лет игры ни разу не было такого). Иногда уже после третьей карты начинает колоду сдавать заново. Плохо

### 2/5 — Why am I getting ads?

*2021-07-06, version 2.9.16*

I never used to get ads, and I believe I paid years ago not to get them.

### 2/5 — Косынка

*2021-04-19, version 2.9.16*

Нет сброса

### 4/5 — Не хватает опции уровень сложности

*2021-02-23, version 2.9.16*

Понравилось, классический дизайн, цвета, есть много настроек. Но хотелось бы иметь возможность выбрать уровень сложности игры. Спасибо.

### 3/5 — Difficulty Level Preference

*2020-09-28, version 2.9.16*

I cannot find a way to adjust difficulty level from beginner, to moderate, to advanced.

### 3/5 — Подтормаживает

*2020-09-16, version 2.9.16*

После обновления и появления русского языка начала игра подтормаживать.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Same cards

*2024-10-22*

I’ve played this game probably every day for the last 10+ years. The ads bug me (on a game I paid for!). But worse, today it started stacking the deck and dealing the exact same set of cards. I solved it, I reset the game unsolved, I solved it again, and it’s always the same deal.

### 1/5 — Useless in IOS

*2024-07-15, version 3.0.2*

This app works very good in Android but on IOS it is just about useless. The cards even in the largest setting are very difficult to see. It doesn’t function well at all. There is no left handed setting, no ability to change background or face sides of the cards. I had to pay for this game on iPhone, but then again iPhone forced you to pay for just about every app where they are free on Android. But even paying i don’t get the needed functionality on iPhone and I’m forced to find a different app just to play solitaire!

### 1/5 — I still see advertisements in paid version

*2022-10-31, version 3.0.2*

I have paid asked money in order not to see advertisements while playing this game. 
And guess what: I still see them. 
This developer is money hungry and doesn’t follow App Store rules. 
Zero stars from me.

### 1/5 — Jeu inutilisable

*2022-06-23, version 3.0.1*

Depuis la dernière mise à jour il est impossible de jouer une nouvelle partie. Le bouton « new game » ne fonctionne pas.

### 1/5 — Impossible to win

*2022-05-13*

The new version is absolutely horrendous & rigged.  I played this game for years and could win and the latest update is horrible.  Cannot win Vegas solitaire ever even on easiest level.  I played 500 game without 1 win. Really? Jacked. I’m done.

### 1/5 — Hate the New interface and scoring

*2022-04-14*

I don’t understand why anyone would think the changes in the latest interface is a good thing. And they changed the scoring too.

### 1/5 — The new update broke Vegas mode

*2022-04-05*

Paid user here. This is the best Solitaire gameplay UI out there. Used to play every day in cumulative Vegas mode. However, with the update to 3.0, now the game only allows one turn through the deck instead of three making the game useless to me (and nearly impossible to win). Clearly a programming error. Please fix. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Update was not needed

*2022-04-03*

I’ve had this on my phone for years. It was perfect until this latest update. Half of the sound is no longer in the game and it does not function properly any longer. If you want to know how to mess up a good thing this is a prime example. Only a DC fan could mess up a sure thing this bad!

### 1/5 — Frustrated with new update

*2022-03-31*

Bring back the “Restart game” option, PLEASE! I like to replay a game until I get it right. Having to start a new game each time took all the fun & challenge away from your app.
Also, Aces start out face down instead of right side up. 
The previous version was so much better!

### 1/5 — Lousy update

*2022-03-30, version 3.0.0*

Game is now stupid slow. Will delete and find another.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — IPhone 6

*2022-06-25, version 3.0.2*

Спасибо разработчикам за оперативное устранение багов!
Это моя любимая игра, добротно и умно сделанная! Я очень доволен!

### 5/5 — Latest update

*2022-03-20, version 3.0.0*

I like the update except in solitaire, I don't like how the card flashes when you tap it on the deck and when an ace shows up in the deck and automatically goes to the top it is face down, I have to tap it to turn over. Otherwise I like it! I still miss the feature you had on Android where it said how many people solved that one and I still don't understand why the undo is so slow.

### 5/5 — Ads Don’t Have a Dismiss Option

*2020-05-04*

Love this app and am OK with the ads except lately many of them don’t have the option (a little x somewhere on the screen) to dismiss the add and play the game. My only options are to click on the ad and go to the linked page (which still doesn’t clear the ad) or quit the app; shut it down; then restart the app. Actually the last option is the only way to clear the ad. This really needs to stop. Someone needs to vet the ads that are served. Like I said, love the app but don’t drive me to a competitor.

### 5/5 — Thanks for fixing the bugs!

*2018-03-01*

This is the best solitaire app of all! I’ve been playing this solitaire app since it began and have struggled through some very testy upgrades and can still say it has lasted the tests if time. Thanks for the fixes. Awesome. I don’t mind the occasional ad that pops up. But please fix the sound of the ad. I have my settings in the game set for NO sound and the ad is blaring loud. This should not play when I have the sound turned off on the app.

### 5/5 — I use this app almost every day.

*2018-02-27*

This is the best and easiest to use solitaire app I’ve used, it works great. I just got the updated app and the double tap to move cards to the foundation piles is missing. Can you put that back?

Update: Great response. Within a week of the new release the double tap was fixed. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Исправьте, пожалуйста.

*2018-02-18, version 2.9.10*

После обновления на iPhone X не работает функция отправки карты в верхние стопки двойным тапом.
  Спасибо! Теперь всё в порядке.

### 5/5 — Softicks Solitaire

*2018-01-24, version 2.9.6*

This is the most malevolent, evil Solitaire game in Galaxy and surrounding Universe, if not beyond. Incredibly difficult and always ready to give you set of cards with zero chance to win. I has dark sense of humor, let you win, rarely, to get you to deepest abyss of hopelessness. And don’t dare to clear your score. Punishment comes instantly .... 😵 It has one good side - all other Solitaire games will just too easy to play ...

### 5/5 — Best solitaire app on the App Store!

*2017-02-28, version 2.9.6*

Nothing beats this app! It's so smooth and still challenging

### 5/5 — То что искал

*2013-11-05, version 2.9.5*

Лучший пасьянс на андроидах. Надеюсь на Эпплах не хуже

### 5/5 — YAY! Bugs fixed - thank you

*2013-01-22, version 2.9.2*

Choice of three games, all of which are completely addictive. This has by far the best layout, games, and options, of the many many solitaire apps I tried. Plus, it's hugely reliable. I use the app every day - it's my most used app. 100% awesomeness. PS Love the new style of dealing.
