### 4/5 — Updated Version 20221

*2021-01-21, version 1.61*

I have played PGS since way before the iPad came out. Of course I was delighted to finally be able to load it to my iPad Mini when I purchased it in 2013. As the system of the iPad mini became obsolete at 9.1, I upgraded to an iPad Pro so i could keep my games current. I have been satisfied until the last update, which has changed the appearance of the menu to a smaller font. Also, it plays kind of “jerky” the way the cards advance to the piles when in Auto mode. It’s distracting. I can no longer give it 5 stars.  Maybe it’s the price of “progress,” but now some games won’t play on the iPad Mini and just freeze up. That means some of my favorites have gone away. 😓

### 5/5 — Updates for iOS

*2020-02-21, version 1.50*

I was just wondering if there will be any updates on PGS for IOS soon?  I know the windows version has quests and I would like to see that come to IOS.  Love this app!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-12-05, version 1.50*

More than solitaire the games are challenging and fun.

### 4/5 — Great games

*2019-03-25, version 1.50*

Have used the windows version for years and it’s brilliant. This iOS version isn’t as good but the range of games including unique ones is awesome. If the interface was a bit smoother and included features like showing “most played” games And ability to filter searches eg by game type I would give 6 stars!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-02-08, version 1.50*

Played this game for years!! It’s addictive but amazing for releasing the stresses and strains of the day!! Love it!!! Have actually played every game!!!

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-09-28, version 1.50*

I have used this for many, many years.  It is the best.

### 5/5 — I CANT SAY ENOUGH!!!!!!

*2017-06-13, version 1.50*

I  have played solitaire on my computer for years but nothing has ever come close in comparison for my iPad......until I found this one!  There are about a million games and the features and options that make a game easy to play are all here and with easy to understand rules.  I'm not sure I'll ever get to all the games. This is one great app!!!!

### 5/5 — YaY!

*2017-04-26, version 1.50*

I have waited a good while for PGS to hit the iPad.  I've played the PC version for a good many years and no other version of solitaire comes close to the quality and number of games!   BRAVO!

### 5/5 — Absolutely the best

*2017-01-17*

I have also been playing this game for 20 years or more. Not only doesn't sound hundreds of games, it's user interface is wonderful, and thee customer support is terrific. Two things I miss from the PC version: The game beautiful Russian which is hard to find, and the ability to search for games by difficulty. Inform with this many days it would be wonderful to have a multiple search, for example hard games with three decks. However I'm just really grateful that this game exists!

### 5/5 — Totally addictive

*2016-10-22, version 1.41*

Love it but SO addictive!

### 5/5 — Still the best

*2016-10-17, version 1.41*

I have been playing pretty good solitaire for almost 20 years.  Been playing the mac version for about 7yrs (windows prior to that).

Was thrilled to find that there's an iPad version.  Still waiting for Cromwell to appear on  the mac version, but I know it'll happen by n by.

### 5/5 — Serious collection of patience games

*2016-06-07, version 1.41*

The second biggest collection of solitaire/patience games I know of on iOS, one of the best presentation wise though too bad it is only for iPad

### 1/5 — Needs an update for iOS 16

*2022-11-20, version 1.70*

Missing the one game I love and play the most. 

Checking for my other favs now… Terrible!! Tried to play and not even functional on iOS 16. No way to exit and choose another game while in game screen so can’t change deck it auto switched on me. I’ve been playing forever on PC and this version is a huge letdown. Save your money until it’s fixed.

### 1/5 — It’s gone wrong!

*2021-01-12, version 1.60*

In the last few days the game has developed faults.  For example, playing Cruel, the top card changes to a completely different card when I try to move it.  Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Solitaire

*2015-10-25, version 1.40*

This game no longer works at all.  Please fix it! It used to be great!

### 1/5 — Pure Crap!

*2015-04-27, version 1.32*

I have and love the desktop version. I was happy to see this come out for my iPad, but when I purchased it a few weeks ago, it crashed back to my home screen without saving the game progress 3 times in the first half hour I played it. I immediately requested a refund from the Apple Store an have been completely ignored. I have sent emails on 3 different dates and still nothing. No refund, no communication, absolutely nothing, which is what this app is worth.

### 2/5 — Sad

*2026-05-28, version 1.70*

This was once a cutting edge app. Sadly, the dev lost focus and even minor fixes have gone untouched for five years. If you simply want to play it works better than any app on the market. No stealing data, no hustles, no dunning. But there are minor irritants.

### 2/5 — this WAS the best until iOS 14.2 installed

*2020-12-06, version 1.50*

12/6/20 After iOS 14.2 update, the app wouldn’t open at all. I deleted the app and reinstalled. Now, while it does open, it no longer displays in high resolution on my iPad Pro! I notice that there haven’t been any releases for 3 years. I hope you are not abandoning this app for the iPad. It is waaaayyyy better than BVS.

### 2/5 — Not for right-handed players -

*2016-08-21, version 1.41*

It was very nice to see all my old solitaire games and I was looking forward to them. The games are annoying, though. I wish I could get a refund as this was relatively expensive.

When holding the device in my left hand, I must reach across the playing area to the upper left to advance the play. This obscures the rest of the screen and is extremely awkward. Disappointed.

### 2/5 — Crashing with iOS 9

*2015-09-19, version 1.40*

Anyone else having problems since upgrading to iOS 9.  I can't play at all.  The app crashes when I select a game.

### 3/5 — Update problems

*2021-01-05, version 1.60*

Have used this app for years and I love it, but the new update (first in ages) keeps crashing.  Please fix!

### 3/5 — Purchased it because I loved the PC version ...

*2018-02-05, version 1.50*

But the iPad version is buggy - it keeps losing my score history - it shows all of my scores as zero. Also, I don’t like not knowing how many more deals are available in a game - on the PC it was clear from the picture or a label how many more deals, but the only way in this game is to deal and hold your finger on the deck.

### 5/5 — Best solitaire collection ever!

*2024-02-28, version 1.70*

I have played this both on my computer and on my iPad.  Love it.  It is absolutely the best solitaire games I have played. I play daily. The lack of adds is worth the minor initial cost alone.  There are hundreds of games to play and it is easy to organize.  And no adds.

### 5/5 — Great solo cards games

*2023-09-07, version 1.70*

I play everyday.  I’ve been playing on my computer for years and have been wishing for a app of pretty good solitaire.  I’m so happy to have found it AND that it works just as well as the one I play on my computer.  

You get 900 different games.  Some are just a little difference in the gaming of a classic like the number of shuffles you can make.  (1, 3, unlimited).  Other are completely a different game. 

For each game you’ll get : 

Number of game played

Number of game won

Victory percentage 

Average score 

Total points 

Best winning time 

Average time

Last played 

You can put a game in your favourite.  

I hope more people would know about this game because they’ve worked hard to make this game as great as it is now.  Just try it.  You’ll be surprise!

### 5/5 — The best

*2022-09-02, version 1.70*

It’s my favourite solitaire ever!❤️

### 5/5 — The best solitaire

*2022-01-27, version 1.70*

I’ve been a daily player for many years! So many games, I’ve never gotten bored. Wonderful game

### 5/5 — Thanks for the Update

*2021-01-17, version 1.61*

Thanks for the latest update. The game is now playable again.

### 5/5 — Best solitaire out there

*2021-01-14, version 1.61*

It’s been a while since it has been updated (previous version was 2015) but there really is nothing to compete with it for variety of games. Glad it’s seeing some attention and hopefully more players.

### 5/5 — Best iPad Solitaire App

*2021-01-10, version 1.60*

I have had this app installed for years and also have the pc version. Love the variety of games and now the iPad has 850 !
Never any problems with this app. Would highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Best solitaire

*2021-01-05, version 1.60*

I have been playing this for years on various PCs. So happy to get the app for my iPad. The variety is great. I found old favorites and have learned many new games. I wish a version for the iPhone was available.

### 5/5 — loved it before this last update - this just started working again

*2021-01-03, version 1.60*

This new update on the ipad freezes after one game is played.  Hope this bug gets fixed quickly.

### 5/5 — Fun and well done, but . . .

*2020-06-10, version 1.50*

There are multitudes of games here, and all well done, but I can no longer find the option to upload scores, or to see scores already uploaded.
