Would be helpful for the more challenging games. ### 4/5 — Great game! *2017-08-06, version 1.7.3* Great game and really liked the animation- only wish there were hint options for optimal next step. Other than that really user friendly! ### 5/5 — Free Cell *2017-06-25, version 1.7.3* Love the game and the user friendly app. I've played over 1250 games and love the challenge for each one. ### 4/5 — Klondyke *2017-06-16, version 1.7.3* Really good way to play patience on the move. ### 3/5 — Ad area at top of game *2017-06-06* The area was smaller so the game could be played without issue. The last up date now cover the tops of the card making it hard to see the number at the top, not very good. I really did like the game before the change. **Developer response:** The cards shouldn't be covered in the latest version. Yikes! Would you mind emailing me at eric@sniderware.com to help me reproduce the problem and fix it? I haven't heard this from any other users so far. ### 5/5 — Free Cell *2017-05-26, version 1.7.3* Très attractif ! ### 5/5 — Love everything but... *2017-05-16, version 1.7.3* ... the bizarre math used to compute the percentage of "wins." ### 5/5 — Ctorange *2017-05-11, version 1.7.3* Love this game! Play it everyday😉 ### 5/5 — Free cell *2017-05-09* Schönes Spiel ### 5/5 — Best FreeCell game out there! *2017-05-06, version 1.7.2* Been playing for longer than I care to admit, but this game meets and beats all my criteria for an entertaining and quality freecell app. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Love the game!!! *2017-05-05* I am addicted to this game. Is great to play a game that doesn't stop and is interesting and entertaining and one can play any time. Thank you!!!!! ### 4/5 — Advertisments sound off *2017-05-04* Great game but nothing is free. Developer, Eric Snider, promptly responded to my concerns about Ads blasting out between games. He is truly balancing his objective of making money and making the game user friendly. Thank you Eric for the game and for trying to make the game user friendly. Since I did not buy it I will be more understanding of the balancing act you have. **Developer response:** I'm so sorry about the loud ads. I'm trying out a new "Ad Mediation" service to try to make more money with fewer ads and help me keep making games. I don't think I can mute the game can mute the ads itself. I've written the ad mediation people to see if they can help. Meanwhile I reduced the number of video ads yesterday and will increase a lot more today. Please let me know if that helps. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2017-05-03, version 1.7.1* Love playing. Trying to not lose is half the fun! I haven't yet! Been several years playing. Still haven't lost and still love the game!!! ### 5/5 — I love it *2017-05-03, version 1.7.1* This is my favorite quick game. When I wake up in the middle of the night with too much on my mind, this is my go-to distraction. ### 4/5 — Eight Off *2017-05-02, version 1.7.1* I am addicted to this particular game of yours, but also like Free Cell. Yes the ads can be annoying but the operative word is FREE. I am willing to buy it but don't want to lose my score. I cannot find any info on that. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mute means MUTE!!!! *2026-07-04* I can put up with adds. I hate adds that override the mute setting. This is a new problem that should be addressed. ### 1/5 — Ständig Werbung *2026-05-31* Etwas Werbung ist ok. Aber in letzter Zeit wird es zu viel. Habe das Spiel gelöscht. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-08-13* Would give a five star but the last few months there are too many ads that WILL NOT LET YOU GET OUT OF THEM and get to play.. ### 1/5 — 6 million ads! *2019-10-05* Unable to play this game because of the excessive ads!!!!!!!! Definitely going to delete it!!!! **Developer response:** Sorry about all the ads! This game is ad-supported so that I can afford to do updates and make more games. With that said... I wonder if something is wrong – Can you please let me know which ads are getting in the way of your fun? Please email me at support@sniderware.com. I did my best to turn off ALL the video ads long ago but maybe I can decrease how often the other ads show up. (Also, my paid version has no ads and is $0.99) ### 1/5 — Too many adds. *2017-05-02, version 1.7.1* I've played this game forever. Always my go to when I have time to kill. Always had banner ads but they weren't invasive. Now a video add comes up before and after each game. The adds also play loud even when you have app sound off. Too annoying to play now. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Too many ads pop up *2017-05-02, version 1.7.1* I have enjoyed playing this for the past 5 years . Now all of a sudden every game I have to deal with ad pop ups not fun and doubt I will co Tunis to play ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2015-10-06, version 1.7* Malfunctioned ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2012-10-27, version 1.6.1* Loved the game before the update, but now the Towers game gets stuck and the buttons disappear. The only way to get the buttons back or to get the screen to unlock is to restart my phone. Uninstalling the app right now. ### 1/5 — Nach dem Update Schrott! *2012-08-25* Bisher das beste Freecell Spiel im Store... Nach dem Update nur noch Werbe Pop Ups. Das nervt so sehr, daß ich es schweren Herzens gelöscht habe! ### 2/5 — Too may ads *2017-05-01, version 1.7.1* I enjoyed this freecell very much until the ads started popping up. Cannot get two games in without the ads. I don't mind having ads every once in a while. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the FreeCell game! *2026-05-24* My favorite FreeCell app to play! ### 5/5 — Suze *2020-09-13* 👍 Sad that Klondike players fuss about FreeCell, do they also fuss about EightOff? Let me tell them a secret. Every deal in FreeCell AND EightOff is WINNABLE!!! It’s true. I’ve played each for YEARS and with “undo” or “start deal over” you can play each deal to a WIN! It sometimes may take days to solve a particular deal, but I have not ever found one I can’t win!! Brain exercise! **Developer response:** LOL – Thanks for the great review. There are a very few deals of each that aren't winnable but you're right. I think Klondike is fun, but there are so many deals that just depend on luck that I like FreeCell and Eight Off (and Spider!) much more. If you're into winnable but challenging games please try out my game "Finished!" – It's a little tricky to figure out at first but really rewarding once you do. ### 5/5 — It’s addictive! *2020-03-04* I love this game! It’s great for keeping the mind alert! ### 5/5 — Great app ! *2020-02-18* P ### 5/5 — Challenging and fun *2019-10-20* This puzzle set is great with the 3 types of games. My favorite is Free Cell. All winnable, maybe not the first time through, which I enjoy ### 5/5 — Live game, hate ads *2019-09-02, version 1.8.1* I would gladly pay to get rid of ads but $59.95 is too much. ### 5/5 — The best solitaire app *2019-07-21* 100% ### 5/5 — Wild Willy *2019-05-25* Love the game. I had won 3,996 games then opened one that was impossible to win. Had to start back at zero. 🤪 not happy about that!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — FreeCell *2019-05-14, version 1.8.1* Ok but like to have the moveable cards darkened like my old Eric Ultimate solitaire ### 5/5 — Bertha *2017-07-22, version 1.7.3* Love playing this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
