Can you please check this? Thanks ### 4/5 — Needs unlimited undo’s *2018-04-16* Love this game, but would be more fun if you could undo more than one step. Would be a good way to learn strategy and train your brain! ### 4/5 — Thought provoking *2018-02-18, version 1.0.3* Pretty cool idea and well executed. Love the clean and simple layout. ### 4/5 — Fun stuff *2017-12-02* And keeps you thinking. ### 3/5 — Quick game *2017-11-09, version 1.0.3* But what is the point of the daily challenge? Never see where I stand! ### 5/5 — Made my entire day *2017-10-23, version 1.0.3* You have made my entire day by updating this to IOS 11! I love and adore this game! It’s one of a kind and very addictive. ### 5/5 — yay! *2017-10-20, version 1.0.3* simple rules...yay! strategy at the level you choose...yay! play for fun-play for mind sharpness...yay! the game that is laid out...all levels work; all the levels are up to you. make it easy - make it hard... ### 5/5 — Delightful, simple, & elegant *2017-10-14* Thank you for updating this for iOS 11!! A somewhat relaxing game that challenges you to think ahead. It's very approachable and ever so fun, I'm not sure how this game could be improved! It's exceptionally polished and enjoyable! The controls are simple and work perfectly, and I really like the sound effects of the cards. I'm shocked at how little recognition this game has received; I wouldn't have heard of it were it not for @kenwongart . Still loving this game! ### 5/5 — PLEASE UPDATE *2017-10-02, version 1.0.2* I love this game! But since iOS 11 I cant play and it’s killing my CHI! ### 5/5 — Update *2017-10-01, version 1.0.2* I play on my ipad and would love to play on my phone, but it’s not available for iOS 11 ### 5/5 — Good fun while watching tv *2017-09-29, version 1.0.2* Thanks ### 2/5 — Not working in ios 11 *2017-09-23, version 1.0.2* Please update the game, that it will be compatible with ios 11 ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-09-21, version 1.0.2* Please update it for iOS 11, I miss it already!!! ### 5/5 — Better than Solitaire *2017-09-12* As far as I know, you are the only one that's ever made a version of this. I love this game so much I tried to make a version of it on my computer when I was learning coding. I haven't played it in a while, and when I picked it up to play it again, I got 2 cards left. There is another space after that with a question mark and I don't understand how to achieve anything higher than two cards left. Please respond to this comment and let me know if possible. Also! This app will not be compatible with IOS 11 so please update it so I can continue to use it on my phone! Read above! ### 5/5 — Desafiador *2017-08-06* Excelente para passar o tempo e estimular a mente ### 5/5 — 楽しい *2017-07-31* かなり頭を使います。 無料版でできるゲームは一種類だけだけど普通のソリティアより頭の体操にはなるかな ### 5/5 — Muito legal e divertido! *2017-07-29* Baixei por um acaso e adorei! Depois que a gente pega o jeito e pensa para eliminar as cartas é muito interessante ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — do not purchase *2017-06-12, version 1.0.2* crashes each time for daily challenge which is the primary reason for purchasing purchase at own risk btw...free version ok but boring ### 1/5 — Pair solitaire *2017-02-26* Great game!!! Too bad it keeps freezing, then unable to play more than one game. ### 1/5 — Boring and derivative *2015-11-07, version 1.0.2* Check out Sage Solitaire for an awesome free FRESH take on solo card playing (riddles with ads - bloat ware nothing free or freemium here) ### 1/5 — Current update bloated with ads *2015-01-24, version 1.0.2* I was enjoying the game and was considering buying the full version, just to support the developers until suddenly, the ads became so intrusive, blaring out music even. I deleted the game off my iPad and gave this a one star. ### 1/5 — Crash *2014-11-23* Game crash every single game ### 1/5 — учите язык *2014-11-22* Автор видимо не уважает язык, на котором он выпустил игру. Удалил почти сразу. Неприятно играть- ошибки в орфографии через слово. ### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone 6 *2014-11-22* Just doesn't work on iPhone. Have tried reinstalling multiple times. ### 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* ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — 안녕하세요 *2021-02-26* 안녕하세요?반가워요 ### 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. ### 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! ### 5/5 — I Purchased but... *2018-06-23* I would have given 5 stars. I really enjoy this game! However, I purchased this about a month ago in May and have the receipt in my e-mail, yet I still get ads and am not able to play the Daily Challenge. Can you please resolve this? ### 5/5 — Love it- with recommendations *2018-03-13* I love this game! It’s only a couple of minutes per round, so awesome for those little moments in the waiting room at the dentist, or on the Metro. When I have to put it down, I don’t have to worry about the time, or the round continuing without me until I lose (grrrr!). I would really like it if each game were numbered. When I’m good, I send the results to a friend. She would like to see if she can beat my best scores (and vice versa) in the same round, but we can’t do that without being able to select a specific round. Thanks for a terrific game, with NO ADS and no in app purchases. Simple, pay up front, and play. EXCELLENT! ### 5/5 — Truly addictive game *2018-01-06* At first I thought this game was just too simple. But then it kind of dawned on me... There is a strategy to it! I think if you play it a few times you'll fall in love with it. ### 5/5 — good one! *2017-12-04, version 1.0.3* quick. easy. yet takes thought and looking ahead to win. close to a solitaire game i played a thousand times growing up, and still occasionally get out the cards to play. (would love to see it one line!) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
