I enjoy playing this game. Good Work ### 4/5 — Favorite game *2019-03-10, version 3.3.3* This game would be a perfect 5 if it didn’t always lock up. ### 4/5 — Fun Player *2018-09-26, version 3.3.3* I liked the old format better. I have ruined several games thinking I was hitting “do over”( can’t remember what you call it) and I hit “deal” with the new game. Plus I don’t like the new way of piling scores on top of scores. I just like to start new games and don’t like that I have to go back every few games for a “start over and shuffle and redeal”. ### 4/5 — Ads. *2018-06-18, version 3.2.0* Great game. Only flaw is when playing game the advertisement obstructing the game. ### 5/5 — Love *2018-05-28, version 3.1.7* Great game. ### 5/5 — Favorite game *2018-05-18, version 3.1.7* Just Solitaire is my favorite solitaire game site! ### 4/5 — Ggggreat *2018-01-20, version 3.1.7* Great game really enjoy ### 4/5 — Enjoying game *2017-09-21, version 3.1.6* I've had this for a long time but forgot how to play. Just decided to try to learn again. There are issues as others have mentioned but I am enjoying playing it very much. ### 5/5 — Love this game!! *2017-09-04, version 3.1.6* I love playing this game!! I play it all the time. There are very few ads which makes it even better!! ### 5/5 — Fun and strategy *2017-07-31, version 3.1.6* Game is fun. Since you can see cards played it helps to form strategy. Easy to undo and try alternate solutions. ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-07-08, version 3.1.6* Nothing more to say. ### 4/5 — Fun game *2017-06-26, version 3.1.6* I spend time playing this game to relax. It does exactly what it is supposed to without bugs and other issues. Great game! ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable *2017-05-25, version 3.1.6* Consistent play, never force closes. ### 4/5 — Great game! *2017-05-14, version 3.1.6* My friend has this game, different developer, and the game works different from theirs HOWEVER I love playing this game. A little more challenging then Spider Solitaire which is great. ### 4/5 — Lots of challenges *2017-04-24, version 3.1.6* I love the game. I do wish they could solve the problem of the game seeming to ignore the last 2-3 columns when I double click to move a card. I get it fills in blanks first but if I take the card from the first column and double click it hoping for it to go to a card in one of the last columns it seems like it goes to an appropriate space or card in the first few columns. Then I double click again to get it to continue to find it's spot more to the right but it goes back to the first available from left to right. I hope that makes sense! Thanks ### 5/5 — Totally worth the time *2017-02-17, version 3.1.6* Love the game. I see how Napoleon got hooked on it. ### 5/5 — Forty thieves *2017-02-12, version 3.1.6* Great game. Love it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App serves malware ads *2026-07-05, version 3.4.2* This app pops up iPhone memory full malware ads. Avoid this app ### 1/5 — 40 thieves *2019-12-07, version 3.3.3* I would have said this is a great game. But just now an advert interrupted my game, and zeroed my cards, just when I think I had fitted a particularly difficult game!!!’ Rubbish!!!!! ### 1/5 — Horrible ad placement *2018-04-08, version 3.1.7* I understand the need for ads but these ruin the game. Every time the ads pop up it turns off my music or audiobook absolutely ruining my relaxing time. ### 1/5 — Rubbish graphics; web version is far better *2016-01-11, version 3.1.4* I will uninstall immediately ### 2/5 — Love it! *2012-06-12, version 2.0* Completely addictive! It takes a bit of brainpower and can be a real challenge sometimes but if you think very carefully you can win it! I love a challenge, not a game that's too easy ### 3/5 — Enjoy Game *2016-11-08, version 3.1.6* Enjoy playing the game. But it's very annoying when I double-click on a card and it doesn't go to the stack it should go to. Instead it goes to an empty slot. If I double-click again, the same thing happens. Then I have to manually move the card to the stack. Frustrating! :( ### 3/5 — Was 5 stars . . . *2015-12-11, version 3.1.4* Great game. New ad doesn't go away with "X" tho. Why?! Too bad. ### 3/5 — Good game. A few wishes. *2015-01-04, version 3.0.9* I did not like this version until I figured out how to make the cards smaller. Much easier to see the game that way. I wish I could move the cards more easily and see what cards have been turned over in the deck. Works well otherwise! ### 3/5 — Much Better. *2014-06-23, version 3.0.6* This app has improved so much! The cards are a lot easier to move, the screens turns to what side you want. Playing this game has become a lot easier and more comfortable! ### 3/5 — Get rid of the jumping *2014-01-07, version 2.0* Addictive great fun but the ads make it pause, jump around and sometimes impossible to play. I would pay for a version that didn't have the ad issues. Would rate 5 stars if not for those issues. By the way, the ads are not appealing or enticing! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just Right *2026-09-04, version 3.4.2* Just enough scope for planning and choice of options - mental exercise, not just luck. Plus Undo and Restart options when things go wrong. Usually about 10 minutes per game is convenient. ### 5/5 — Great forty thieves game *2025-07-26, version 3.4.2* I looked at several games and this was the best one. ### 5/5 — Good game *2023-01-13, version 3.4.2* The only comment I have is when I play in horizontal mode on an iPad 10th generation, the ads cover the tops of the cards ### 5/5 — Rosie Simons *2019-11-05, version 3.3.3* Great addictive! I still love this game. I’ve been playing it for years. Only problem I have had is occasionally it freezes and locks up. Only resort is to delete and re-install. Still worth the effort. ### 5/5 — Cmon *2019-06-20, version 3.3.3* I love the game, I like it just the way it is, I wish I have more time, I expend hours of fun playing. WHAT’S WITH THE MUSIC??????????? ### 5/5 — Forty thieves *2019-02-14, version 3.3.3* Just a suggestion but on new iPhone X all of the cards are not visible even if choosing ‘small cards’ option. You only can see parts of playing area. ### 5/5 — Excellent Game! *2019-01-01, version 3.3.3* Forty Thieves is challenging but fun. It’s addictive, in a good way. It keeps you thinking. I highly recommend this game. ### 5/5 — Best one *2018-11-11, version 3.3.3* I’ve tried various FortyThieves this is by far the best(still not like the original one) but it’s still good. Only one thing I would say is please get rid of the double tap there’s no need for it. I would definitely recommend this one. ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS GAME. *2018-11-02, version 3.3.3* Love this game, can play for hours. This is great for problem solving and developing strategy. Love the unlimited reveals. ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-08-31, version 3.3.1* I have played this game for a couple of years. There’s a little strategy and you have to think a little bit but it’s just a fun game I’m not happy with the new menu because even after they moved the undo button I am still hitting the reset button by accident. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
