## What is Flipflop Solitaire?

From the creator of Sage Solitaire, comes a new Solitaire variant that breaks all the rules!

100% of deals are solvable!

Like its footwear namesake — Flipflop Solitaire is unrestrictive, creating a new game for fans of spider, klondike and other traditional Solitaires.

In Flipflop you can stack down, up, or even both ways on a single stack! 
Need to stack an 8 on a 7, or a club on a spade? No problem!

- but -

Be careful, you can only move a stack of a single suit!
It's fun and freeing, but still challenging and captivating.

It's Flipflops for your brain.

------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER

Flipflop Solitaire is sort of a sequel to Sage Solitaire in the sense that it's my second crack at the design problem of making a Solitaire game that feels like it was designed for your phone and not for a table.

To be honest this is how I wish everyone approached sequels. Usually a sequel takes the solution to a problem and duplicates it. This is why our expectations of game sequels are often more-of-the-same-but-better. I'd rather see more sequels that brought a renewed level of surprise and novelty, and I'm hoping that's what you find in Flipflop Solitaire.

While Sage was all about trying to capture the feeling of a tight, easy to play, tough to win, zen solitaire game, Flipflop is about knots. 

In a typical Solitaire game, like Klondike, you're taking a knot of cards and untying it into sequences. Then you reverse those sequences into clean ordered stacks.

In Flipflop you take your knot of cards and tie it into other, hopefully better knots. Then you untie those knots into the final ordered stacks. Having so much control over the way your intermediary knots are constructed led to a lot more depth than I expected. 

I hope you enjoy this game as much as I've enjoyed discovering it.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2026-07-20, version 1.6.1*

Fun fast engaging but has begun to hang very frequently. 1/4 of games can’t be finished due to freezing. Desperately needs a bug fix. 

Follow-up. No effort to fix. Constant freezes on iPad Pro.

### 2/5 — Broken game

*2026-07-15, version 1.6.1*

Just redownloaded after a year or two. Can’t finish games now due to the game just freezing and crashing. Was a great game, but doesn’t work anymore.

### 2/5 — Used to be great

*2026-07-07, version 1.6.1*

Fun fast engaging but has begun to hang very frequently. 1/4 of games can’t be finished due to freezing. Desperately needs a bug fix

### 1/5 — Was great but just… stopped working

*2026-06-27, version 1.6.1*

This was a fantastic app wonderful. But in the last three days, it just stopped working. It doesn’t get past the main screen anymore. It just sits there blank. I was going to go to app support, but it looks like that takes you to. An X account that hasn’t been active since 2017.

### 1/5 — Era bom

*2026-04-10*

Era bom, mas uma atualização chegou, e limitou bastante os modos de jogo. Agora virou um demo pra fazer você pagar por uma versão full.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-11, version 1.6.1*

The end game is fixed! Yay!

This is my go-to toilet game because I know each round only takes me about a minute, so if I’ve played more than 3, I’ve spent too much time on the can. 😂

### 5/5 — Super smooth and ad free

*2025-12-30, version 1.6.1*

Game is smooth and fun to play plus no ads. Super underrated

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-12-06, version 1.6.1*

…but the last update broke things! Now whenever I finish a game (standard single suit, not sure if it happens with others), it will either freeze with the kings at the top and not finish the game with the animation, or it will crash the app.

Still a problem in iOS26.1

### 5/5 — ソリティア拡張版

*2025-11-18*

ソリティアをより自由にしたゲームです。大きい数字から並べても小さい方からでもOK。途中で逆方向に戻っても続き数字ならOK。シンボルの種類も1種から5種まで選べます。続き数字をまとめて移動させる機能が同じシンボルの場合のみに限定されるところが厳しい。主に一番難しくて詰むことも多い5種でやってましたが、解けた時は爽快です。もともとApple Arcadeでやってましたがランキングが機能しないのでこっちに移りました。もともとソリティアやったことなかったんですがパズル好きだからハマったのかもしれません

### 3/5 — New Update?!?

*2025-10-28, version 1.6.1*

Update: Thank you to the developer for the response. I can appreciate the situation, however I still have lost my purchases. I do not have X so there does not appear to be a way to make more direct contact to try to get my purchases restored. I’m still left with a game I loved and miss but no ability to move forward unless I spend more money.


Love this game but the new update has not only wiped my progress as others mentioned but also my purchases. I had expanded the game decks and now I’m locked out. Hoping another repair update is coming soon….
