## What is Freecell?

FreeCell has been bundled with all versions of Windows since 95 . The term "FreeCell" is given to the four empty spaces above the tableau that are used for the temporary storage of cards. The rules only allow you to move one card at a time but the FreeCells can be used to move sequences of packed cards between tableau columns. All the cards are dealt face up at the start of the game and this lets you analyze the outcome of moves before you make them.

Brilliant app. I love it - Thank you. I use it every day - several times a day
I’d like to add after a couple of weeks, it’s absolutely brilliant. I’m totally hooked 🥰

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2026-04-25, version 1.9*

Good app, rarely glitches, not a lot of ads - banner at the bottom but not intrusive.  A nice way to wind down

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2026-03-16, version 1.9*

Good app, rarely glitches, not a lot of ads - banner throughout but not been games

### 2/5 — Best so far

*2026-03-14, version 1.9*

Banner ads are not as obnoxious as other Free Cell apps. Hint and solve routines need some polish.

### 5/5 — The only game I play

*2025-09-28, version 1.9*

I always enjoy playing this game

### 4/5 — Great, but….

*2025-07-13, version 1.9*

Surely there must be a way of numbering the games, as per the PC version. I’d then give it 5/5.

### 4/5 — Happy

*2025-06-03, version 1.9*

This is my favorite bed-time calming down game. Love it for not constantly having ads pop up like most any other game has.

### 3/5 — Good game

*2025-04-01, version 1.9*

Been playing for years. After 10’s of thousands games see repeats. Still occupies my mind. Could use some more variations. I don’t have patterns memorized, however, some are recognizable

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2024-12-16, version 1.9*

This game really makes me have to think and pay attention. This is important to me because I’m 70 and I don’t wanna lose my memory. Or my common sense and attention thank you so much for inventing it.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2024-12-15*

Been playing for years. After 10’s of thousands games see repeats. Still occupies my mind.
