I don’t make Mac died. I’m sure I have one hundreds of games in a row and that’s why I’m glad I found this game again. ### 3/5 — Needs an update *2024-09-25, version 1.9* I’ve been playing this for years on a succession of iPads, and I love it, but it’s now in dire need of an update to cope with iPad OS 18 - since the update, it’s become horribly slow (and my iPad is an M4, so it’s not that my device can’t take os18) FreeCell is also slower now, though it’s not as bad as Spider. ### 4/5 — I’ve loved it for years *2023-01-27, version 1.9* This is my favorite FreeCell app and I play it daily. In this new release you have removed the time from the upper left hand corner. That’s not going to fool me to play longer. Call we get the clock back. ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2019-12-31, version 1.8* Yeah! ### 5/5 — Mepinklady *2019-12-18, version 1.8* I’ve played this game almost 4100 times and it never gets old because it’s never the same twice. ### 5/5 — Best freecell I can find *2019-09-25, version 1.8* Not much else to say.. ### 5/5 — Great Spider Solitaire Game *2018-07-03, version 1.8* Love this Spider Solitaire. It allows you to pick the cards and the background. For me it’s the easiest Spider game to navigate. I enjoy it very much. ### 1/5 — Eight off has frozen still and will not respond to any attempt at restarting! What's up with that? *2018-06-17, version 1.8* I loved the game till it just froze up! I was at 4000 (and change) It will not restart! On my IPad! Please help! I've searched thre apps store for maybe another version. Each,,, only Eric Snyder is the best! ### 5/5 — Hand and foot *2018-06-11, version 1.8* One of my favorite games. Love this app. So easy to use. ### 5/5 — DaveK *2018-06-06, version 1.8* Works well. Game is winnable if you concentrate on advanced moves. Some games require multiple restarts, but they are too, eventually winnable. Love playing it. ## Frequently asked questions about Eric's FreeCell Solitaire HD ### What solitaire games are included?
