I just opened it and should have been on my third daily challenge, but it reset me…again. ### 5/5 — No more moves left *2025-04-27, version 15.2.2* Great app, but game does not recognize no more moves with nine cards left, hence you lose all points made that round, and have to restart the game😂 ### 5/5 — Perfect and Smooth Game *2023-03-26, version 15.2.2* What a perfect game. 5 stars absoluletly. ### 4/5 — Hard to read *2022-09-20, version 15.2.0* I have been enjoying this game when I have a few minutes to kill. One option I *REALLY* would like to see is larger numbers/symbols of the cards to be played. Currently they are way to small to read clearly for these aging eyes. ### 1/5 — Good game but no save function *2022-09-06, version 15.2.0* Game seemed cool. Visuals are decent for a card game. Easy to figure out how to play too. However, even though it claims it has cloud saving, I don’t see it saving after reinstalling it to see what it did. It just starts over with tutorial. So without a saving function, if you reinstall it for whatever reason or install it on a new device, you have to start over. It’s pointless unlocking new card backs and keeping high scores because of this. ### 2/5 — Sadly, chance, vs. skill… *2022-08-29, version 15.2.0* Love both Solitaire and Poker. Seeing this had been a #1 Apple choice in the past, I took a chance. But why hadn’t it taken off? I think I see…. It’s more a game of chance, vs. skill, sadly… Loved the board, ease of use — once one figures out how to correctly swipe — and the colors. It’s even exciting to see by tomorrow with four days of wins in a row, I’ll get a cute new card-face. Sadly, strategy — as in poker or solitaire — isn’t the aim of this could be really terrific little game. It’s mostly a game of chance. Once your initial planned move plays and clears, previously unviewed cards speedily drop down, making other new matches, and this can happen many times/many hands in a row. Worse though, add to that the scores on what’s happening, also, zip by from the left and right so very, very fast you can’t even read them; so, it’s all just a blur. So, while the sounds, colors and speed of all the ‘action’ may make for an entertaining initial display, any amusement and fascination quickly dulls. Want to beat your score? The play pile quickly dwindles down. Single pairs get played, where you may not have wanted them, and worse yet, everything is happening so very fast that you can’t ever get a grasp of each hand that automatically plays or even each score — and ‘combos’ — as they do play. The pairings are a blur. The scores only a flash; so, are totally illegible. So, what’s the point? The challenge of aiming for a high score — the banner of other high scores flashes across the top — is lost, when one can’t even see how one’s own double “planned” plays (or desired combos) really do score. There’s way, way more to successful scoring — in fact, really, unknown — than the handy poker scoring guide. I have a feeling, while I thought this might be one of my keepers, unless there’s a future slo-motion dial allowing me to have the pleasure to actually see and follow every play (and score!), Politaire will be relegated to the delete pile before long. Sad, too, as it’s a nice, cute little game that just might be fun, otherwise. But with so much automatic — and happening so very fast that one cannot even follow — what’s the point? It’s mostly chance — and too fast to follow, at that. You’re really getting to play only very few real solitaire/poker hands. ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas sur iPhone 13 *2022-08-25* Se lance et se coupe tout de suite… dommage. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-04-26, version 13.15* It’s good very I’m not a bot I love It ### 2/5 — This game used to be fun and relaxing *2020-12-03, version 13.15* When I decided to download it again to enjoy the game but now the whole game hitbox are way off, I can’t play it properly. Please fix soon. It’s annoying. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2020-08-23, version 13.15* Used to love this game, but doesn’t work on iPhone XR.
