### 5/5 — Excellent !

*2024-06-10*

Jeu agréable, tellement simple et pourtant totalement inédit (à ma connaissance). Appli super propre sans chargement, gamefeel agréable, que du bon, un grand bravo au développeur.

### 5/5 — I love this little game

*2022-10-28*

I don’t think I have ever reviewed a game in the app store, though I have purchased enough. This game is a perfect little gem. I look forward every morning.  Try it! you will love it!

### 1/5 — Stumped

*2022-08-15, version 1.0.3*

I like any card games. But I think the game is lacking in the direction department. I don’t get the game. What is the glass shattering sound. I need much better directions

### 5/5 — 안녕하세요

*2021-02-26*

안녕하세요?반가워요

### 2/5 — Daily challenge rankings - where have they gone

*2020-08-01*

Great game - one of my very favourites but for past week there have been no daily rankings.  Why not?  Where have they gone?  Please bring them back -  now please. Thanks .  Apart from this 5*

### 5/5 — Fun quick game

*2019-10-21, version 1.0.3*

Works great even on XS Max on iOS 13. Fun, quick, unique solitaire game. I enjoy it!

### 5/5 — Best game ever, but

*2019-05-30*

This is THE BEST game of solitaire I have ever played. It truly is worth the $1.99 to not have to deal with the ads. Quick play with a true challenge with each new hand. Love the daily challenges and having the ability to see where I match with other players.

A few suggestions for improvement: 
1) When scrolling through the line, it would be nice to always view the # of matches remaining, not just at the end. 
2) It would also be nice to have the option to replay each hand - similar to the daily challenge. 
3) Having the matches numbered will allow players to replay hands at a later date and compare with friends to beat their score / number of cards remaining.

### 1/5 — Ads volume level is at dangerous level

*2018-10-15*

I am happy to have ads if that means this game remains free, however when playing with headphones the ad volume is at 10x what my settings are. Even when game audio settings are off, the ads BLAST sound. I had recommended this game to friends and family but after the ads volume I’m going to encourage them to delete it, I feel so bad for even suggesting this game to them.

### 4/5 — Great game but

*2018-10-12*

I love your games and have played them alot, but the last several times i noticed that when i went to remove a pair a notice came up saying no more moves when there really was a move. Can you please check this? Thanks

### 5/5 — Great game but...

*2018-08-02*

I love this game, strategy and luck, good time filler. I was going to purchase the full game but it’s $2.99 AUD. Not a big deal, but from what I’ve read it’s $0.99 USD. Going on exchange rates it should be $1.49. AUD. Please start a protest to stop ripping off Australians!
