### 2/5 — Game ok until…..

*2023-12-11*

Why does it keep crashing? It keeps shutting down in the middle of a game!

### 2/5 — I’ve won more games than I’ve played 😆

*2023-11-06*

I love the game. I despise this app. Funny that the most used app in my inventory is the worst app in existence.

### 3/5 — Love the game

*2022-11-30, version 1.6.1*

This game is great until the trump ads continue to pop up. Will delete if they don’t stop showing these of a traitor and racist

### 3/5 — Addictive

*2020-12-31*

Great game, but has started to lock up and close.  Other than that, it's great, but if it keeps up, I may have to search for a replacement...

### 3/5 — Freezes and closes

*2020-11-16*

Lately the games stops and closes. Never had this problem before. Love the game when it works.

### 2/5 — iOS 8

*2014-09-28, version 1.3*

Have had this app for years & played in frequently because it WAS a favorite.  Now it crashes, once I open it it immediately closes.  Please fix this issue so I can rate it 5 stars again.

### 4/5 — Doesn't Work

*2014-09-19, version 1.3*

I just downloaded and installed the great update for my I Pad and now I can't open this game. Any suggestions?

### 4/5 — Sewist01

*2014-03-26, version 1.3*

I'm addicted!

### 4/5 — True to it's name

*2013-07-13, version 1.3*

Nothing Better To Do...when I just need to disconnect for a couple of minutes, it's great!

### 4/5 — Puzzled

*2013-07-05, version 1.3*

I have enjoyed this game but am puzzled by the last one I played.  Was unable to complete because the 10 of clubs was missing.  How can a card be missing from a virtual deck?  Apart from this glitch it's a very entertaining game.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2013-06-18*

I enjoy playing this game of solitaire and like that you don't have to move each particular card. I also like being able to replay the same game until I can figure out the best way to win.  I hate the children cheering at the end, however, so I always put it on mute or at 1 volume bar.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2013-06-08, version 1.3*

I have always loved Freecell, but this version and it's graphics are exceptional!

### 2/5 — OK but not great

*2013-06-04, version 1.3*

Missing any feature to set level of difficulty or avoid unsolvable deals.  Doesn't allow you to choose numbered deals based on original 32,000 in MS Windows game. No ability to replay a completed game.  No tutorial.

*2023-11-09, version 1.6.1*

Crashing for no apparent,reasons

### 1/5 — Tracks what I’ve copied to my clipboard :/

*2021-12-27*

When I open this app, my phone notifies me that text I’ve copied and is on my clipboard is pasted in this app. Not sure why, but it seems really questionable.

### 1/5 — iOS 8

*2014-09-27, version 1.3*

Since the last update this app constantly crashes. I've deleted and reinstalled it but can no longer play. It was a favorite of mine. Please help!

### 1/5 — Latest update ruins it

*2013-03-18, version 1.2*

Was great but latest update messes up display and slows loading. QC and further corrected update needed!  5 stars to 1 star till this is fixed!

### 5/5 — Favorite Game

*2024-09-30*

This is my go to game.  I’m not a big arcade type player.  I go back and forth playing standard and kings only.  It passes the time, and I feel like I’m being challenged.

### 5/5 — Nice Game

*2024-01-30*

It provides a variety of challenges to overcome & is fun to tackle.

Fun game.  Every once in a while it quits with game in progress.

### 5/5 — Addicting!

*2020-11-27*

Anytime I have to sit and wait I am going to be playing this game. Sitting at the car wash, in the doctor’s office or simply waiting in the car for any reason - I am on my phone playing this game. I have tried other versions of the game but always come back to this one. I love it!!

### 5/5 — Great app but...

*2014-09-21, version 1.3*

Shame that it stopped working since upgrading to OS version 8. No updates developed to fix this bug

### 5/5 — Free Cell

*2014-09-20, version 1.3*

Love to play this game. It would be better if you could IM your opponents while you play the game!
