### 5/5 — Instructions, not a review.

*2026-04-28, version 3.1.9*

If you have an older version of La Belle Lucie (with a black icon framing the white letters [lab])--not the one in which you have found this "review":  Here are instructions for how to play it since the 18.0 iOS update screwed it up.
     On my iPad, all touch features seem to be shifted to the left & a row above the target control or card.  To move a card, tap the card you want to move.  A smaller version of it will appear, above & somewhat to the left.  This offers itself as a sort of off-set handle to the card you want to move, so place your finger over top of it-- that small card.  Instantly, you will see that the card you want to move is lifted from its pile, but don't remove your finger from the screen, just move your finger in the direction of where you want to place the card, as if leading it along.  Eventually, you'll get the hang of it.  Playing this way is a little slower than playing the old way, but at least you get to keep using the game you know.  Good luck!
    & to the creators of this version of the Game, I have downloaded it & will play with it a while before I add to this review.  Please forbear my instructions.  Us Old Folk don't adapt to change quickly & mourn so many losses at this stage of life, it is good to know what can be done to keep the familiar close to hand.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-11-05, version 3.1.9*

3 shuffles and a draw is my favorite solitaire game but not sure why I cannot find it anywhere?? La Belle Lucie works the same, just without the draw and so much more challenging! I do recommend this app, it is easy to use, works great and don't appear to have any glitches.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2018-05-29, version 3.1.9*

Excellent card game and really well made app. Easy to use, quick, clear and fun! The game is hard but it is addictive!

### 5/5 — Latest bug fix distorts iPad Pro screen display

*2017-11-21, version 3.1.9*

I have been playing for years...it’s a great app 5 stars.

### 4/5 — BUG REPORT

*2017-11-20, version 3.1.7*

A great game - I’ve been enjoying it for years.  But, oh! dear - the update 2d ago has screwed up.  I cannot see the bottom row of cards when playing on my iPad in “landscape” mode.  It’s fine on portrait, but I’ve always preferred landscape.

Please fix ASAP.

Thanks
Geoff

### 4/5 — Works just like traditional card layout game

*2017-07-01, version 3.1.6*

Good reproduction of traditional game

Great game. Enjoy this app!!!

### 4/5 — Fun and challenging

*2017-05-07, version 3.1.6*

This version of solitaire is one of my favorites.  There aren't many apps available so very glad to find this one.  I wish the cards were larger but otherwise it's very good.
