On/off features for identifying available moves, sound and auto (quick) finish. The graphics are appealing and set this app apart from others. Quick resolution of any issues by the developer; excellent attention to feedback. ### 5/5 — Problem solved *2017-09-28, version 1.8* Once again my favorite game! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Crazy Eight *2017-08-05, version 1.7* Very addictive. I love to see how many games I can win in a row. Also very calming in this frenetic world. ### 5/5 — FreeCell Solitaire/Eight Off *2017-06-29, version 1.7* I have played variations of these games for decades. Quality software/apps that work reliably, and great customer service to boot. Friendly interactions lead to loyal customers. Eight Off is my favorite. :) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-06-13, version 1.7* Great Game ### 5/5 — Free Cell *2017-06-11, version 1.7* Great app, lots of fun, addictive! Love the challenge, and seeing my rewards at the end of each game! ### 5/5 — Nice. *2017-06-05, version 1.7* I never give five stars. This app is as good as I can expect. No faults. ### 5/5 — Superb game *2017-06-05, version 1.7* This is one of the best card games I know. It is well designed and I never tire of playing it. ### 5/5 — Great game!!! *2017-06-04, version 1.7* I first saw my son playing this game as a stress reliever, now I am hooked. I even emailed Eric Snider to let him know how much I loved the game, the Best FreeCell on the web. ### 5/5 — Fix needed *2017-06-03, version 1.7* I'm glad they did update it so it will still be usable, but all the movements of the cards are quite choppy now. Needs a bug fix I guess. Never mind. It is fixed! It started working very smoothly - even better than before! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Love this game *2017-06-02, version 1.7* Play it every day, it's a challenge ### 5/5 — needs improvements *2017-06-02, version 1.7* Towers is my favorite Solitaire game, and this is a very good version. But it could be great with a few improvements like Inclusion of numbers for each puzzle and a way to access specific puzzles would let you share your experiences with other players. A solver would also be welcome. Once you get addicted to Towers you will never go back to an easy game like Freecell I hope a future update will address these issues. ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT FreeCell Game *2017-06-02, version 1.7* I have tried a number of FreeCell games and this one is BY FAR the BEST!! Be careful it's addictive!! I've played over 5,000 games on this APP! ### 5/5 — Favorite game on iPad *2017-06-01, version 1.7* Beautiful, tasteful design. Well-programmed game interface. Fun, original reward animations after victory. Brain-effort able to win 70+% of games played. ### 5/5 — FreeCell *2017-05-30, version 1.7* Graphics great. Puzzles challenging. Highly recommend this game. ### 5/5 — Solitaire *2017-05-30, version 1.7* Love it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 2/5 — Annoying wobble *2012-06-29, version 1.1.1* This is a beautiful deck but it's very annoying to play with. When you select a card it gets very big and blots out all the nearby cards. When you try to move a card or a string of cards, they wiggle and drift. Sometimes I have a problem putting the cards in the right place. If the cards had a simple, crisp movement like the cards in the Microsoft game, I would give this app five stars. As it is, I give it two stars for the beauty of the deck. The sloppy motion of the cards ruins the game. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Free cell *2013-03-05, version 1.6.2* Overall pretty good, but sometimes a single card in a column wii not move to a free cell or another column where it can be played. ### 3/5 — Good, but needs better record keeping, timer *2011-07-19* I got the paid app hoping it would expand upon reporting stats. While more stats are reported in the paid vs the lite version, it doesn't record the times of each game or record longest streaks. The ideal freecell app would have a timer and would chronicle fastest times and average times. Also, the game needs a notification to tell the player when no other legal moves are available. The app hasn't been updated in many months. Not too optimistic that an update will be forthcoming... ### 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. ### 4/5 — no futility indicator *2018-03-14, version 1.8* I like this very much. Better than any other I’ve seen except it could be much better. It should have an indicator to let you know as soon as you make a move that puts you in a position with no possible solution. In all fairness, I haven’t seen any other FreeCell game that does that either. But it could. The Brainium version will tell you that but you have to ask for it, it doesn’t do it automatically as you go along. This one looks so nice, the movement of the cards is so nice, I just wish it had that one last feature. ### 4/5 — Great game! *2017-05-28, version 1.7* Adding Eleven Off and some of the other games from the author's Mac collection would make this five stars. ### 4/5 — Best of breed *2014-05-05, version 1.6.2* Nice graphics. Smooth. No tiresome ads!! ### 4/5 — Great App!!! *2013-05-05, version 1.6.2* Entertaining and challenging...great time passer and very addicting if your not carful to set yourself limits on play. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 👍👍 *2024-10-03, version 1.9* I have the CD from an old Mac computer. 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great games. *2018-06-04, version 1.8* Style and format really nice. I like the way the play goes. Color, clarity, really makes it comfy to play. ### 5/5 — Classic! *2018-02-01, version 1.8* What can I say, but this is my favorite game. I started playing this game on Apple Performa back in the day. Great game to pass time. ### 5/5 — FreeCell *2018-01-25, version 1.8* Love it! Play it for hours!
