All of my other apps seamlessly use 5G, but not this one. Don’t be so lazy, developers! ### 4/5 — Awesome *2019-11-09, version 2.7.7* Best game ever, I love it, it helps me cope with life ### 4/5 — Quits *2019-11-02, version 2.7.7* At times it just disappears....quits, while making a move. Not sure why but it is frustrating, ### 3/5 — Fun but ads have SOUND *2017-12-17, version 2.7.7* Great free ap to bad they changed the ads to having sound so much for goofing off and playing a quick game now you never know when the thing is going to make noise and it's LOUD other wise would be 5 stars but I suppose everyone needs to get paid ### 4/5 — Freecell *2017-02-13, version 2.7.7* Fun game but don't like the ads in between when they have sound. ### 4/5 — Good game! *2016-01-14, version 2.6* Great fun! Only complaint is it wants to size itself for the mini even when I'm playing on my older larger iPad. ### 5/5 — Awesome games!!!!! *2015-09-13, version 2.6* I LOVE this app!! My favorites are Milligan cell and Free Cell! I wish the rules were more clear. They really don't explain much. Some I can figure out after playing the game and using the hints. My favorite app for these kind of games! ### 5/5 — Great games! *2015-08-09, version 2.6* Recommend ### 3/5 — Keeps changing *2015-08-08, version 2.6* Love to play King's solitaire but the sketchy rules keep changing.Suddenly it's not possible to UNDO--very frustrating! ### 5/5 — TreeSlayer *2015-05-12, version 2.6* Excellent game of skill! ### 4/5 — Enjoyable way to kill time *2015-04-19, version 2.6* Lots of games, endless enjoyment. ### 2/5 — Free cell extent but too many adds very annoying *2015-04-16, version 2.6* I give u as free cell 10 but with annoying adds not proper advertise 10 belooo ### 4/5 — Solitaire mania *2015-04-04, version 2.6* Fun games! ### 5/5 — Free Cell *2015-03-01, version 2.6* Excellent app. Use it multiple times a day. ### 4/5 — Challenges *2015-02-05, version 2.6* Enjoy these alternatives to spider, etc. directions aren't very clear for some games and scoring is a mystery, but after playing those with sketchy instructions a few times you can figure it out. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2015-01-31, version 2.6* I love all the games that come with this app. It keeps track of scores, etc. ### 5/5 — Free cell *2015-01-30, version 2.6* I play this several times a day.

It is both frightening since my volume is at max to hear iPhone ring; also so embarrassing in waiting rooms. (Lowering volume on iPhone while I n games, unlike Android, affects everything.) Never used to do this. Used to be 5 stars - love Aces Up game in it. ### 1/5 — Messed up *2016-12-20, version 2.7* What ever the latest update. It has ruined the game. Plz fix it. The screen is small cards do not stick when placed. Miserable ### 1/5 — Crash and burn *2013-10-19, version 2.5* Worst upgrade of all time. App no longer opens. ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2013-10-19, version 2.5* I used to love this app and played it all the time. Every since I updated the app on my iPhone, it only crashes. I hope they fix it soon! ### 1/5 — Won't open *2013-10-16, version 2.5* Loved it when I could play it but now it won't open! Deleted and reinstalled - won't open. What's going on? ### 1/5 — Can't opens *2013-10-14, version 2.5* Crashes upon opening on iPhone a d iPad. ### 1/5 — Won't work in IO7 *2013-09-28, version 2.3* I love this game, it doesn't work in the IO7. Please update it! ### 1/5 — Does not work with latest software release *2013-09-28, version 2.3* You need to fix, please. ### 1/5 — Pyramid solitaire games *2013-09-26, version 2.3* All my pyramid solitaire games do not work.do not show all the game on my iPad,only half a game shows up,can you help please,as I like the games very much. ### 1/5 — No app *2012-04-23, version 2.3* Tried to download but disappear and yet tells my I have it. Not! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Solitaire *2018-10-21, version 2.7.7* Great game. I play it most ### 5/5 — Free Cell Solitaire *2017-02-14, version 2.7.7* Love all the games in this app. The variety is Great! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-02-10, version 2.7.7* I play only Seahaven Towers and this version of that game is the only one that I know of that allows the strict rules of the original game. While play is supported by ads, you won't notice them unless you're easily distracted. However, play stops when your internet connection does. Small complaint: wish stats were displayed automatically after each game. Other than that, great job. Update: paid to eliminate ads and can now play without WiFi connection. This is an outstanding game that deserves your support. . ### 5/5 — Addictive *2017-02-05, version 2.7.7* Once I start playing I can't stop. Love this game!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2016-10-30, version 2.6* Great way to keep the mind sharp while unplugging for a couple of minutes ### 5/5 — Still love it... *2016-01-18, version 2.6* Using right now to distract me from thinking about work so that I can fall asleep. ### 5/5 — Great program *2016-01-17, version 2.6* I am addicted to this program. I play it all the time. This is an excellent version of free cell. My only request is: I wish the results screen would indicate how many games in a row the player had won or lost. ### 5/5 — No *2016-01-10, version 2.6* Very annoying and distracting ads. Not worth it AT ALL! ### 5/5 — Great fun *2015-11-27, version 2.6* Lots of games. All addictive ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-10-13, version 2.6* Keeping the Alzheimer's away with this great App! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
