### 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 — Free cell

*2024-07-17, version 1.9*

For me the simple game is perfect! I can play and talk, watch tv, just perfect!

### 3/5 — FreeCell

*2024-02-24, version 1.9*

I played a different FreeCell and unfortunately I can’t find it anymore. I don’t like that the games aren’t numbered so you can go back to them if you hit the wrong button.  I don’t like that it will make plays for you that you don’t want.  I don’t like that you can’t re-do a play.

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-02-19, version 1.9*

A good way of passing the time, gives the old brain some exercise. I like it a lot.

### 4/5 — Fran

*2024-01-30, version 1.9*

Nicely done.

### 5/5 — Easy ads

*2023-12-05, version 1.9*

Ads are discreet at the bottom and don’t interrupt gameplay. The best kind. 

Game works as you’d expect and is enjoyable and with some flexible options too.

### 5/5 — Perfectly simple, a few rough edges

*2023-11-11, version 1.9*

This is everything I need from a freecell app. Everything around the game works perfrectly well, with no extra frills or irritating ads. There are a few quirks, like the volume is based on a ringer volume instead if the media volume, and there's no text for me in the settings menu. It is absolutely still my favorite app for freecell though.

### 5/5 — Great Fun

*2023-06-30, version 1.9*

A brilliant time waster

### 5/5 — Totally addictive

### 5/5 — Free cell

*2023-03-05, version 1.9*

Fun fun fun

### 5/5 — Great free cell

*2023-02-01, version 1.9*

Good game without ads between game, only ads are at the bottom.

### 4/5 — The don’t show this again issue

*2023-01-04, version 1.9*

The don’t show this again always comes up and irritates me!
And maybe it’s just me but it seems like there are only 4 or 5 games, that repeat over and over.

### 5/5 — FreeCell

*2023-01-01, version 1.9*

Great fun from easy to hard

### 2/5 — Stupidity

### 1/5 — Why are you snooping the clipboard?

*2023-03-27, version 1.9*

When I open this app, it tries to see what’s in the clipboard. Are you looking for passwords?

### 1/5 — Ads

*2021-02-01, version 1.9*

So annoying!

*2019-11-07, version 1.9*

Doesn’t work on ipad

### 1/5 — Refresh game

*2019-10-11, version 1.9*

I want the old function back that lets you play your same game over without having to tap undo 80 times. A previous feature was you could choose NEW and it would allow you to start over the same game you were playing.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2017-12-01, version 1.8*

This game used to be my favourite. Unfortunately the last version update broke it. It opens then crashes.
Useless.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Worst game!

*2023-09-03, version 1.9*
