### 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.

### 2/5 — Changer de côté

*2025-08-26*

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

### 2/5 — Great games but ads won’t lose

*2025-05-29, version 3.04*

Been playing for years but lately ads come on after a game and won’t close to show how many moves you took.  Frustrating.

### 3/5 — Bug in dealing with iPadOS 18

*2024-11-02*

This is the second attempt to inform you of a very irritating bug when the cards are being dealt. The audio and video are not synchronised. You’ve had plenty of time to sort this problem out. For gods sake fix it. There is no way to report problems from inside the app. One has to search for you in the app listings which is also very irritating.

### 4/5 — Faulty dealing since iPadOS 18

*2024-10-18*

This is the best of the FreeCell apps but since up grading the iPad OS to version 18 the card dealing and accompanying sound effects are badly out of sync. I have tried deleting and reloading the game (which lost me all my progress and screen backgrounds) but there has been no significant improvement. I have allowed plenty of time for this problem to be sorted but am now reporting the problem to you. Please fix it ASAP and recover your fifth star.

### 5/5 — excellent game

*2024-09-24*

I'm enjoying this game very much. Excellent display. Cards are easy to read. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Spiel super, Werbung oft zu dominant

*2024-08-21*

🤓 Für mich das beste FreeCell - und jedes, absolut jedes, Spiel ist zu gewinnen, und wenn's erst beim 20. Versuch ist!

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2024-07-20, version 3.04*

This software is really AWESOME I have played MANY Freecells this is really the best you MUST try it.

### 5/5 — Free Free Cell great fun

*2024-07-14, version 3.04*

Thousands of combination games some harder than others a classic early pc game still great fun

### 5/5 — Free cell

*2024-06-25, version 3.04*

Great game. I’ve been playing it for about 20 years. It’s the only game I play

### 5/5 — So addictive

*2024-03-11*

Can’t stop playing this game.

### 4/5 — Ouf …..pas de pub

*2024-02-18*

Difficile de trouver un jeu non coupé par une pub envahissante

### 5/5 — The new card face design is unattractive

*2024-02-10, version 3.04*

There are mystical and ancient symbols in playing cards. I think some of their power is lost when they are simplified.

### 5/5 — Free cell

*2023-11-14, version 3.03*

Too many ads no hints Cooper

### 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — Bloody ads!

*2025-06-13, version 3.05*

Game is spoilt by too many ads

### 1/5 — Ads

*2024-09-07, version 3.04*

I can not get rid of ads. Regardless of what I do I can not get a new FreeCell game unless I shut down my iPad  very very annoying

### 1/5 — Ads

*2024-07-17, version 3.04*

Cannot tolerate all the ads!

### 1/5 — Poor statistics

*2023-07-09, version 3.03*

The game works great, but the cumulative statistics aren’t accurate at all. Average moves and average time are no good at all. The other thing that angers me is getting slammed with advertising while playing unless you put your phone on airplane mode

### 1/5 — Hate the new look

*2021-06-11, version 3.01*

The app made me update and I HATE IT. It’s weird how you get attached to certain things. I’ve tried, but just cannot stand the weird new graphics. Goodbye app.

### 1/5 — Trump Ads

*2020-07-04, version 2.95*

I am sick to death of seeing ads for Donald Trump on your site.  They are relentless.  I would rather find another app than have to put up with any more of these ads, so I’m outta here.

### 1/5 — Rating

*2020-01-15, version 2.95*

I do enjoy the game.  However, hints could be included as is shown on my iPad.  Rating the game, am I to assume that the first star is the highest rating?

### 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?

### 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.

### 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!

### 5/5 — Best on the store.

*2025-06-13, version 3.05*

Best version of the game on the store.

### 5/5 — Really fun!!!

*2025-06-10, version 3.05*

I love this game!!!  I have lots of other games on my iPad but this is definitely my favorite!!!

### 5/5 — Great Fun

*2025-05-09*

You have to really think about which card you move. It's fun to play, but you have to concentrate, which doesn't allow for daily thoughts to be repeated over and over. It is almost like a thoughtful meditation.

### 5/5 — FreeCell

*2025-03-08*

Comment retrouver les anciennes cartes????po  km

### 5/5 — FreeCell full game

*2025-02-22*

The new update is terrible. The top line all runs together. The cards are too fat. Guess it was changed to accommodate the new iPhone. What about those that play on an iPad? Sharo

### 5/5 — Only Issue

*2024-11-11*

It doesn’t automatically send cards to the bar when they are not needed any more.
