### 5/5 — Excellent if…

*2026-06-28*

Really like this game except that if you leave a game in progress when you return later it resets and you lose the game you were playing. Can’t you make it save the current game?

### 5/5 — Excellent if…

*2026-05-07, version 3.06*

Really like this game except for if you leave a game in progress when you return 10 minutes later you lose the game there playing. Can’t you make it save the current game?

### 2/5 — Scammy ads

*2026-04-29*

This game has some Scam ads that make it appear that your phone has been compromised because you’ve been looking at porn!  What????  And there’s been several different “ads” like this.  And they don’t look like any ads- they look like real alerts, at first.   This company should really look at what ads are they’re promoting.

### 1/5 — FreeCell solitaire card game

*2026-01-31, version 3.06*

I have played this game more times than I would like to admit and it has been fun for me. In the past month (1/31/2026), the game has been changed. It is now so hard to win that I don’t enjoy it anymore.

### 5/5 — the best

*2026-01-16, version 3.06*

don’t know what i’d do without freecell designed by mr buckingham.  i’ve played tons every day for probably close to 20 years.

### 2/5 — Changer de côté

*2025-08-26*

Ça serait cool d’être capable de pouvoir reculer plus de un mouvement

### 1/5 — Review

*2025-07-14, version 3.05*

Game won’t rotate. Too many ads. Ads are difficult to exit

### 1/5 — Adverts!!

*2025-07-01, version 3.05*

Recently introduced too many adverts  than cannot be cannot be cancelled

### 5/5 — Old Faithful

*2025-06-13*

I’ve been playing this since I had my first smart phone. It’s still great. Simply designed with no ads and no so-called improvements over the years. Other apps come and go but there’s always FreeCell!

### 1/5 — Bloody ads!

*2025-06-13, version 3.05*

Game is spoilt by too many ads
