### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-04-30*

Since the update the app no longer opens. I tried deleting and redownloading. Didn’t work. I click on the app, it flashes into the game and then shuts down. This is my favorite game. I’m so bummed. Please fix.

**Developer response:** Sorry about the mistake I made! Please delete the 2.0 version and install the app from the App Store again – you'll get the last compatible version that works for your iOS device. Please contact me at eric@sniderware.com if you need more help! (My mistake was that I accidentally set the minimum iOS version of FreeCell HD Lite 2.0 too low. I'm so sorry about that and apologize for all the trouble.)

### 1/5 — Fed up of your ads failing

*2025-08-09, version 1.8.4*

Have to close and reopen every time. Played 20,000+ on 4 devices, at the point of deleting

### 5/5 — Games

*2021-09-01*

Love the game. Would it be possible to add a timer?

### 1/5 — Latest update a total flop!!

*2020-02-18*

This has always been my favorite game to play when I’m bored. I absolutely hate it since it was recently updated! I hate it fitting at the bottom of the screen instead of centered in the middle. It is so aggravating I can’t stand to play it. I used to play for hours as a way to relax. Now it causes so much aggravation I can’t tolerate it for more than a few minutes and I quit. Please recenter the game board up and down!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review – I believe this problem is fixed now. If you're still up for helping would you please try the latest version and email me at eric@sniderware.com if there are any problems for you?

### 5/5 — EZ to play

*2020-01-25*

Nice set of games.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your patience! This is fixed in the latest version. Please try it out and email me if there's still a problem – support@sniderware.com

### 4/5 — Free cell

*2020-01-22*

Pleas stop the ads on top of screen and you would get a 5 star

### 2/5 — The app recently changed for the worse

*2020-01-22*

The ads used to appear at the bottom of the screen which was fine. Now they appear at the top of the screen which covers up part of the cards that have been moved off. It makes it hard to see what card is on top of each stack which in turn makes it harder to play the game.

**Developer response:** This layout problem is fixed in the latest version. Please try it out and email me if there's still a problem – support@sniderware.com

### 1/5 — ads

*2020-01-20*

I have played this game for years and enjoyed it. Of course, the ads were a pain, but I put up with them, even though they got longer and longer. At first the ads were just on the screen and you could click them and get back to the game. Then they started to be longer and you couldn’t click off of them, which really reduced how much I liked the game, but, again, I put up with it. 
But just recently, there is a huge ad at the top of the screen that interferes with the play of the game. As a result, I’ll play the other games I enjoy, but will no longer be playing Free Cell, as it is almost unplayable with the huge, no-removable banner. There are a lot of free games available that don’t have this problem and I’m surprised the developer has made such a bad decision.

**Developer response:** This should be fixed in the latest version. Please try it out and email me if there's still a problem – support@sniderware.com There were always banner ads in this version of FreeCell Solitaire. They used to be at the bottom but the advertisers complained about too many accidental "Clicks" so I had to move the banner to the top.

### 1/5 — Ads covering the game

*2020-01-19*

I’ve played this frequently but this latest update has ads covering part of the game. Ads are understandable but covering the game is unacceptable. I’m going to find another version.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your patience! This is fixed in the latest version. Please try it out and email me if there's still a problem – support@sniderware.com

### 1/5 — Updated January 2020

*2020-01-19*

The update is not so good I love the game before the update. Since the update there’s a band across the top of the game where your four aces would come into. There’s a band across the top, for your commercials but it covers the top half of those four squares. It’s very hard to see the cards. I wish I had never updated. If it continues I’m going to delete the game.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your patience! This is fixed in the latest version. Please try it out and email me if there's still a problem – support@sniderware.com
