### 4/5 — Like the game but ads suck

*2026-05-17, version 3.9.7*

The ads are long & you have to wait entire time before you can start playing. I set my tablet on the side & do something but it gets old after a while. If I can find one with fewer or shorter ads I will remove this one

### 4/5 — Love/hate

*2026-05-04*

Love the game, hate the ads.

### 3/5 — Laggy

*2025-04-25*

I have a pretty new iPhone 13 Pro, and this simple card game is laggy.  The cards take a second to get “picked up” as I hold my finger on them, and then drag behind my finger as I attempt to move them.  This makes dropping a card on a row at the edge very difficult.  Things just take a few attempts to get cards where you want.  I tried three other freecell asps and none of them have this issue.  I like the design and options otherwise

**Developer response:** This sounds like some type of glitch. Try a force close of the app or contact us direct for assistance.

### 3/5 — Font Size

*2023-03-23*

The font size is far too big on the cards, making it unpleasant to play this game. If you give the option to reduce the font size, it would be a perfect game, but I find the the current font size just plain uncomfortably for easy reading.

**Developer response:** Simply tap Settings, tap Card Face and select another style more to your liking.

### 4/5 — Free cell

*2022-06-14*

I just switched to this game and my only problem is that there is no “auto complete”  setting or at least I can’t find it in settings.

**Developer response:** There is an Auto button on the bottom. Tap it when it pulses.

### 4/5 — Relax your. Mind

*2021-05-18, version 3.5.5*

It’s likeMeditation and it’s fun!

### 4/5 — Addictive to keep playing

*2021-05-10*

Would be better if players stats were displayed on main screen.

### 5/5 — Sehr anspruchsvoll

*2020-08-26*

Man muss schon strategisch denken.

### 3/5 — Too easy

*2020-08-16*

The deals aren’t random; they’re weighted to win.

### 5/5 — Geoff

*2020-06-15*

Very good game used to play this game with my sister 65 years ago.

### 5/5 — My new favorite FreeCell Solitaire!

*2020-05-29*

This app is beautiful and plays super smooth. I love the winning deals feature... why waste time on a deal that can never be won?

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too many adds

*2025-12-28, version 3.9.6*

Fun game but too many ads!

### 1/5 — Communist game

*2025-09-13*

When I close the tab out and come back to the game to avoid having to watch an ad and ad just keeps popping up, which means I cannot play the game without watching ads without paying to have the ads removed that seems communist to me Because you're forcing me to do something I don't play communist games so I'm deleting

**Developer response:** Running ads so the app is free is capitalism, not communism.

### 1/5 — Annoying ad music

*2023-08-19*

Can’t mute the ad music. Game sucks

### 1/5 — Locked into advertising

*2023-08-01*

I understand the desire to force adverting on players, but excessive ads drives customers away. 

I was trapped by advertising with this app.  It started a LONG video clip that I had no interest in. It went on and on, well over a minute with a second ad queued up and no way to stop it!  I couldn’t even kill the app. I ended up Shutting the iPad down to end it. This is unacceptable and I am deleting the app, shame on the vendor. 

I have played thousands of hands of FreeCell on my original 2012 iPad. But that version is no longer available, unfortunately.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear about this rogue ad.  We certainly don't allow such behavior.  Please contact us direct.  We'd like to get some more detail so we can track down this rogue ad. Thanks!

### 1/5 — The games are absolutely unwinnable

*2021-07-30*

If you’re a Cray supercomputer you might have a chance but if you’re simply looking to relax this isn’t the game for you.

**Developer response:** Incorrect. Deals are all proven Winning Deals with total time and moves to win.

### 1/5 — Just keep adding ads

*2020-06-11*

Used to be an occasional ad now there’s videos! The developer sent me an email telling me I’m wrong! And I noticed they say that under my comment. There is a Samsung ad that comes on with a black screen and no x In the corner to close it for several seconds. They used to just pop up and I could close immediately.

**Developer response:** Nothing has changed. Not sure why you are saying this.

### 1/5 — Loaded with improvements?

*2018-05-27*

The game is definitely better than 1 star and I will bump it up later. I want to make the point that saying "loaded with improvements" is absolutely meaningless.  Just say you don't want to be bothered to actually list updates.

I programmed and worked with programmers for many years, and no one ever submitted a change report of "loaded with improvements."

**Developer response:** Be sure to get the newest update!

### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-04-02, version 3.9.7*

Can’t click out of some ads.  Makes you go to the app.store.

### 2/5 — Ver offensive ads

*2023-07-04*

The game is fun, but many of the ads are misogynistic—men hitting women, women depicted as hideous mud-cakes creatures wanting a makeover so they can attract a man, women with hair growing out of their ears. I'll never the woman sitting on the toilet. What do these developers have against women?

On top of that, you sometimes have to click a few times to close an ad. Or it’s unclear where to click. Or the close button is in another language so you have no idea what the button label says.

**Developer response:** As with your direct inquiry, we don't allow these type of ads and haven't seen them.  We continue to request that you send us screenshots so we can try to track them down.  If these are ads for apps in the App Store, we suggest you take this to Apple as they have approved these apps, not us.

### 3/5 — Hints

*2026-01-21, version 3.9.6*

Hate the pulsing hints.

### 5/5 — for: Joe D.

*2026-07-12*

You were right, it’s the PERFECT card game!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-03*

my go to game for relaxing

### 5/5 — Happy

*2026-01-26*

I love this game it makes me happy

### 5/5 — Stay Sharp

*2024-12-24*

Free Cell is NOT just Solitaire. It takes a simple game and the choices for moves allows you to exercise your mind and use logic keeping your mind active to win the game. Let’s be clear, every game is winnable. But out of the thousands of moves, some games are only winnable just one way. Free Cell keeps you on your toes and I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Very annoying adds

*2024-09-03*

The app is great but the persistence of the adds is troubling. Some are very difficult to end. Lately many send you to the App Store for some unknown reason and you have to close he app and start over to get out.

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2024-03-19, version 3.8.4*

Love the game

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2022-09-11*

This free cell  game has been such a pleasure to play. I love when I win the game that it  has such beautiful affirmations that cheer me up every day. and I love how they advertise it is very quick simple and you go on with the game without any frustration. I played other FreeCell games and was frustrated because there’s so many ridiculous advertisements. please don’t change anything this is perfect it is just what everybody is looking for. good job you’re doing everybody keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Free Cell Classic Locked…

*2021-07-16*

I have a locked screen….will not bring up game.  Please fix!

**Developer response:** Sounds like a glitch on your device. Contact us direct for support.

### 5/5 — Great game

### 5/5 — Good
