After I signed up it said I would be charged. I wouldn’t of signed up for it if I would of known I was going to be charged. ### 3/5 — Free cell *2025-07-25, version 2025.06.21* I rated it low because it isn’t free ### 4/5 — Freecell and Solitaire *2025-06-21* I love these games but recently they were updated and now you reset statistics. ### 2/5 — OK untill... *2025-06-02, version 2025.05.17* good game untill. You get to play a few games, for free, then it wants to charge you to keep playing. Nope. ### 3/5 — Auto finish *2024-08-03, version 1.4.5* Don’t like that it doesn’t auto finish. ### 5/5 — GREAT version of Freecell *2023-09-01* This is a GREAT version of Freecell. Start off as beginner, and proceed all the to expert - keeping the same game and game format. Thank you ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-02-03, version 1.4.5* I love the no adds. Does this app work on the Apple iPad? Thanks for the game. ### 2/5 — Bugs? *2023-01-31* It prevents legal moves. And when you ask it to give you a hint, it suggests moves that it won’t then let you make. I am sorry I paid for this but wanted to get away from ads. ### 2/5 — usable but not good *2021-09-07, version 1.5* A far cry from the "real" version ### 2/5 — FreeCell *2021-08-13, version 1.4.5* The old one was much better and I enjoyed it more. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Another subscription game *2026-03-02* I wouldn’t give this one star if in the description it said a subscription was required to play. No it says a one time purchase. $1.99 yearly subscription is not a one time purchase ### 1/5 — Bye *2025-09-03, version 2025.06.21* Bye no ### 1/5 — not free *2025-08-05, version 2025.06.21* you have tto subscribe to play more than 1 time ### 1/5 — Parcell, Not Freecell *2025-07-24* I’m all for people being able to sell their work, and that includes apps. I don’t like to download what, from all appearances is a free app, only to find out that the first games ONLY are free, sort of like a drug dealer giving a sample to get you hooked. I might have paid for this if it had been upfront about the charge. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Boring *2025-07-10, version 2025.06.21* First of all said it was free, then ended up paying $1.99. Then it just a plain cards. No character to it at all ### 1/5 — Ugh!!! *2023-09-05, version 1.5* nothing like my old computer!!! I had the ocean backround and it told me my scores and better look on screen!! Rip Off!!! ### 1/5 — awful - not even a full deck *2022-10-14, version 1.4.5* It was cheap because it is CHEAP in a bad way, don't waste your money or time ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-09-24, version 1.4.5* Graphics are awful and it starts with a boatload of cards already in the aces area. And it won’t automatically send the cards there. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t start correctly *2022-08-26, version 1.4.5* It starts the game with all fours instead of the correct way. Very frustrating. Not worth a penny. ### 1/5 — Bugs seem to prevent legal moves *2021-08-27* This game looks nice, but there seems to be bugs that are preventing legal moves. When hitting the suggesting button the moves are shown, but not allowed to actually make the move. This might be part of the difficulty setting, but without help/instructions it’s hard to say. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 깔끔해요 *2026-03-19* 광고없고 공간많이 차지하지않고 깔끔해요^^ ### 5/5 — Just pure Freecell *2025-08-28* This is the one. No added bells or whistles, just straight Freecell. Works reliably, like a hose (simple, straight forward.) Just the way I want. ### 5/5 — Perfect. Free and no ads *2025-05-29* Gives me my solitaire fix. No Ads. No nonsense. ### 5/5 — Free cell *2024-11-05, version 1.4.5* Excellent free games with no ads. ### 5/5 — er The first nfirst rr is f *2024-10-23, version 1.4.5* Mmmm ### 5/5 — Great pass time *2024-09-25* I love this version of FreeCell, esp. the 3 levels of difficulty and the automatic completion. ### 5/5 — Freecell *2024-08-13* Game allows illegal moves; it will allow card stack moves for more cards than there are free cells. Regardless, the game is still fun and relaxing without ads. ### 5/5 — Great way to play, *2024-06-04* Great way to play. Just me and the cards. Thx ### 5/5 — Really, there are no ads *2024-02-02* I really appreciate this free cell solitaire. So tiresome on other apps to be forced to pay up or watch ads for several minutes at a time for match games. Ugh! I refuse to patronize those. If you don’t need to play against others (I don’t) this is a great choice. No ads here. No bells or whistles. Just the game with 3 levels of difficulty. I took off one star because the “?” when you’re stuck will tell you to move where it isn’t possible or to move cards in a way that still leaves you stuck. They need a “no more moves” answer like others. Thanks for this free and great way to destress and exercise the brain. ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2023-09-05* Doesn't have all the useless bells and whistles the ad supported versions I've played had but this one is much better. Ad supported game I used to have always dealt easy hands; this one is actually more challenging and fun. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
