### 5/5 — don’t give up

*2022-10-08*

This is a great game but it takes a while to understand what is going on and how to play. Don’t give up if you keep losing. Play on until you get it out. Then work to arrange sequences as these will earn candy and enable you to manipulate the cards. Enjoy!

### 5/5 — Finished!

*2022-10-05, version 1.1.1*

Absolutely love this game a play it on a daily basis. I got far more than a thousand games in and not getting tired of it.
If you like sorting and a bit of memory gameplay, it may be for you! Getting started can be a bit confusing, but then is just shines and keeps shining.

### 5/5 — Great puzzle!

*2022-10-03, version 1.1.1*

I play this every day

### 5/5 — Lots of Card Games: Few good ones

*2022-02-28, version 1.1*

There are a lot of card games on the App Store. It’s hard to sort the good ones out from the bad ones.

I recently played Friday, from the same maker. It was a lot of fun. I decided to get this one on a whim, and why not, it was free. And I wasn’t disappointed.

The game involves a lot of strategy, is single player, and it easy to pick up. Highly Recommend this little gem. Also check out the other stuff. All really fun games.

### 5/5 — Fantastic and addictive

*2022-02-11, version 1.1*

Once you learn the cards and get going it’s so hard to put down

### 5/5 — Maybe not for everyone but a lovely game…

*2022-02-09, version 1.1*

Very soothing game for me… acting as a human sorting machine trying to optimize the sorting to complete before the coffee runs out! A nice feature is to let you continue even after the coffee runs out just to play it through. One minor bug with a card overlay otherwise a great solo game.

### 5/5 — Excelente jogo solo

*2022-02-07*

Tanto o app quanto o original são ótimos

### 5/5 — Satisfying through difficulty.

*2021-12-12, version 1.0.3*

This game is not for everyone. Even those for whom it IS for will struggle for the first several games. But once you begin to win with some regularity, it is a satisfying loop that asks your mind to stretch, just a little more each time.

### 5/5 — Clever Finished

*2021-11-02*

Great little app, worth paying for to remove terrible ads

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2021-08-12, version 1.0.3*

This is a super cool take on solitaire. I immediately paid the access pass to remove ads and support the developer. 

The tutorial is well done, plus I watched a play- through online that helped me know how to approach it. And I won my first game (the tutorial game). Winning the tutorial game doesn’t seem to count in the stats, it says I have no wins, but that’s not a huge deal, maybe it starts counting from your first alone game. 

Although I do wish it were in portrait (I typically avoid landscape games on my phone), I can see that would pose a design challenge. But I like it so much I’ll keep playing. This may be one of my favorite card games now. 

Thank you for a good game and for monetizing it so fairly. I also bought your solitaire Klondike game, and it is super well done too.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2021-03-19, version 1.0.3*

Fun game. Good to play when waiting for food

### 5/5 — Lenguaje

*2021-02-05, version 1.0.3*

Estaría genial que las instrucciones estuvieran en Castellano

### 1/5 — peccato ma ingiocabile per problemi di grafica

*2026-02-27, version 1.4.3*

su iphone 15 grafica tagliata rendendo impossibile giocare

### 1/5 — Interesting, but ads cover the play area

*2025-03-26, version 1.4.3*

I just downloaded this app after seeing it mentioned on BoardGameGeek. I played the train game and enjoyed it. However on my second game I’ve being served ads which cover up the play are and make it impossible to see what’s happening.

I respect asking to be paid for your time, but hiding functionality behind ads just makes your game get deleted.

### 1/5 — Cannot recommend

*2024-11-16, version 1.4.1*

One of my worst purchases in ages.  Though I purchased the game. The ads just keep coming. Once one of the ads opens it seems impossible to easily return to the game. Free solitaire is more satisfying.

### 1/5 — Present cards, future cards... what?

*2020-09-06, version 1.0.2*

Please redo the instructions and explain this in a more clear way.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2020-08-14, version 1.0*

Could not click out of one the ads. Deleted app.

### 2/5 — Scores do not show up on the Leaderboard.

*2026-05-27, version 1.4.3*

I have earned a score daily that should be on the leaderboard. I am signed in to BGG. I tried to use Help—> Contact us in the app but no email address fills in for the outgoing address. Other than that, the game works well and is bug-free.

Update:
I raised my rating to 5-stars. Evidently, the Leaderboard is just for the Daily Challenge.  I didn’t see that mentioned anywhere but it makes sense.

Update 2:
I have sent 2 email messages to Eric with coding errors and received no response. Version 1.4.3 has problems and I know of no other way to elicit a response.

### 2/5 — Good but problem with some actions

*2021-10-13*

It is a very pleasant game. 
But it is impossible to move down the future cards to have a simple view on them in order to make choices.

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre patience - je suis vraiment désolé de ne pas avoir vu votre commentaire plus tôt. Oui, vous pouvez faire glisser les cartes vers le bas à partir du "Futur". Vous devez appuyer et maintenir l'une de ces cartes et glisser vers le bas. Si vous avez besoin d'aide, veuillez m'envoyer un e-mail à eric@sniderware.com

Thanks for your patience – I'm so sorry that I didn't see your comment sooner. Yes, you can slider the cards down from the "Future." You need to tap and hold one of those cards and slide down. If you need any help please email me eric@sniderware.com

### 3/5 — Scores do not show up on the Leaderboard.

### 3/5 — intrusive ads

*2022-01-08, version 1.0.3*

its one thing to put an add, another

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2026-08-04, version 1.4.3*

Unique and addictive solitaire type game. I just wish the app allowed you to modify the difficulty.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2025-02-11, version 1.4.1*

Found this after playing the physical version of Friday and looking up more Friedemann Friese games. Really interesting game that requires some thinking but it’s also relaxing. Fair price to get rid of the ads. No issues playing in 2025 despite the game being several years old.

### 5/5 — Very addictive

*2024-09-27, version 1.4.1*

I had to uninstall it to stop playing.

### 5/5 — Unique solitaire game with immense replay value

*2024-08-16, version 1.4.1*

This one’s thinky.  Much different from your usual solitaire card games. Well worth the few bucks.  Don’t let the initial impression of the simple graphics fool you - this game is solid and enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Fertig

*2024-01-02*

Sehr cooles Ablegespiel. Fordert, macht Spaß und die Bürospielgeschichte mit Kaffee und Bonbons zum klar kommen gefällt!

### 5/5 — Addictif

*2023-03-14, version 1.4*

Très bon puzzle. Interface facile.

### 5/5 — Eine deutsche Version wäre schön

*2023-02-03, version 1.3*

Das Spiel ist gut durchdacht, aber eine mehrsprachige Version wäre schon ein Mehrwert für dieses. Leider muss ich 2Sterne abziehen, da sich der In-App Kauf nicht auf meine anderen IOS-Geräte überträgt. Eventuell ist dies mit einem Update der App behoben.
Update:
Danke an den Entwickler für die Information bezüglich des In-App Kaufes. Funktioniert jetzt auch ohne Werbung auf den anderen Geräten. Eine mehrsprachige Version ist auch vorgesehen.

### 5/5 — Excellent game!

*2022-12-19*

My favorite mobile game

### 5/5 — Daily coffee break

*2022-10-17, version 1.1.1*

I enjoy the game play and daily global competition.

### 5/5 — Awesome implementation

*2022-10-12, version 1.1.1*

I’m a big fan of Friday and Friedmann’s games in general, but I hadn’t enjoyed my physical copy of Finished that much until I played this app. Now it makes perfect sense. This is a total solitaire killer. Amazing game, very well implemented.
