### 1/5 — Stats info still white text on light grey background

*2026-05-24, version 2.0.1*

Update said white text on light grey background had been fixed.  It hasn’t.  Overall background is darker but that’s irrelevant as stats still white text on light grey background.  Does anyone test updates before they are published?

### 4/5 — A worthy successor.

*2026-05-18*

The new version is excellent, as was the old one. But for one problem. The stats screen, is not working properly. For some reason the graphic is overly bright to the point where it is unreadable. As soon as that is fixed it will be worth five stars.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your patience - The statistics screen and "You won" screen are all fixed now, as of version 2.0.2

### 5/5 — Great work

*2026-04-21*

No ads. I assume no tracking too. Just pure solitaire and done really well. Those little affirmations along with the stats at the end get me hooked tbh. Thanks for making this gem!

### 3/5 — Love the game HATE the ads

*2021-08-30*

I am about ready to delete this app. I love the game but am SUPER ANNOYED with an ad after every two games. Please stop this, or I will find another game!!!  I would have given you 5 stars without the ads.

### 4/5 — Always a favorite

*2020-01-04*

First card game I learned when I was in 4th grade (1960) Ads are at times annoying if you cannot cancel them.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your nice review! I learned from my grandma when I was around the same age. :) Sorry about the trouble with some of the ads. If they're still bothering you please email me at eric@sniderware.com – If you can let me know specifically which ads are causing trouble then I can block them out and maybe even block out a whole ad network if there's an issue.

### 4/5 — Calificación

*2018-03-05, version 1.8.1*

### 5/5 — Solitaire

*2017-04-29, version 1.7.1*

This is the best card app I use. It is simple and most enjoyable. Hospital will always be available. 👍

### 5/5 — solitaire unmatched

*2016-11-14, version 1.7.1*
