## What is iKlondike Solitaire Lite?

iKlondike Lite — from the creator of Klondike, the original solitaire game for Mac.

As the free version of iKlondike, iKlondike Lite uses four pre-shuffled decks, instead of randomizing the deck for each shuffle. Everything else is the same.

### 5/5 — Clean and Simple

*2021-06-16*

This is the best way to play all your favourite solo card games, but it now needs to be updated for new iOS versions. Hope you’re still around and up to it. Thank you for all the hours of fun either way.

### 1/5 — Lame!

*2014-09-21, version 2.7.2*

Don't waste your time. You will find yourself playing the same half dozen hands over and over. What a disappointment!

### 2/5 — Repetitive

*2011-11-11, version 2.4*

I have played  this game for a few days and I have noticed that there are some patterns emerging in the stacks and the show cards that have been repeating.  But, it is free!

### 1/5 — Just a teaser, not an app.

*2010-03-04, version 0*

This isn't a "free" app, it's a very limited demo version designed to "preview" the full version. Nowhere on the listing does it tell you that there are only four deals, they wait till until it's installed to disclose. An okay game. But if I'm buying an app, I'd rather purchase from an unfront, honorable vendor.

### 2/5 — Tech problems

*2009-08-06, version 0*

Wish I could switch the games like it said I could. Some kind of technical problem needs to be fixed

### 3/5 — Great Game

*2009-07-17, version 0*

This a great solitare game and if you change the classic card setting to off the cards number are bigger and much easier to read. I am thinking of upgrading to the full version because I am starting to remember the moves I need to make in the four pre-set decks, however I feel $2.99 is a bit pricey for a  card game!

### 5/5 — v1.1 Its free and works fine

*2009-07-08, version 0*

Its free and works fine. Yes hard to read for old folks but no real way around that. The cards look fine. Could drag a drop fine.Recommend, since its free, even more so.

### 1/5 — Don't Waste Time Downloading

*2009-06-22, version 0*

Not even worth "Free" if you can't read the cards. Why would the developer be so thoughtless? Really would have been a terrific game, otherwise. Deleting immediately.

### 2/5 — Could be the best

*2009-06-12, version 0*

This app has better phyiscs and feel than every other Klondike app it is just impossible to play with the graphics of the cards the way they are. change that and you get 5stars from me !

### 2/5 — Card clarity

*2009-06-10, version 0*

The mechanics of the game are better than most Klondike apps. However developer needs to enhance cards. I could hardly make out card suits and values even with reading glasses. Update this aspect of the app and I will change rating.
