My complaint is that the algorithm used to determine the distribution of cards chooses highly unlikely groups. For instance on the opening distribution I routinely get 3 7s or two 4s and 2 jacks etc. these are frequently of the same color. If I have two kings for instance and pick one to move to an open space it may show a red three. If I check what would happen if I moved the other king I almost always turnover a card of similar value. At first I thought it was an anomaly but it happens so often that it has got to be intentional. It cannot be random. ### 5/5 — Love It! *2026-07-06, version 4.9.6* Really love this app. I play it every night while winding down. It is my favorite game app ### 3/5 — Not shuffled *2026-07-05, version 4.9.6* I enjoy playing this game, but it seems the cards don’t get shuffled. There are too many of the same number. ### 5/5 — Best solitaire ever *2026-07-04, version 4.9.6* Addictive ### 5/5 — It’s the best! *2026-07-02, version 4.9.5* Update: I was devastated when this game stopped working on my iPad. However, the developers have fixed the issues and it is now working again. I was very happy because this is simply the best solitaire game out there. while this game was not working, I downloaded several other Solitaire games. None of them was as beautiful or practical as this one. This game works in both portrait and landscape views, which is nice for iPad. The backgrounds are very beautiful and you have the option to upload your own favorite photo as a background. ### 5/5 — Solitaire : this game is the best, no ads pop up, relaxing *2026-04-01, version 4.9.5* I enjoy the format of the Solitaire game, no interruptions with silly games that I have no interest. Thank you S. Sweet ### 5/5 — Time not wasted *2025-12-28, version 4.9.5* Has provided much enjoyment and mind challenges over the years ### 5/5 — Review *2025-12-21, version 4.9.5* This is my idea of the perfect game of Solitaire. Thank you !!! ### 2/5 — Too many non winnable games *2025-11-28, version 4.9.2* I’m disappointed with this game. There’s no setting for beginner, expert, etc. I continually have to quit and start a new game. The only great thing about it is no ads that hijack your screen for a full minute. ### 5/5 — Different *2025-11-23, version 4.9.2* I like it very much ### 5/5 — Distraction *2025-11-18, version 4.9.2* This is a great distraction when waiting for an appointment or results from a doctor ### 4/5 — Not Bad *2025-10-26, version 4.9.1* The game is well designed! Although, it does freeze once in a while and I understand that may be due to my router and/or WiFi. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-10-19, version 4.9.1* Love playing it relaxes me before sleep ### 5/5 — Love the challenge *2025-10-14, version 4.9.1* Enjoy playing solitaire. Funny to change the background and cards to the fun backgrounds and colors you offer for the holidays ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Advertising *2026-08-21, version 4.9.7* Terrible flashings ads impossible to play ### 1/5 — Too many unsolvable *2026-07-22, version 4.9.6* You should filter so we are only playing deals that actually have a solution. Then you will get 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-07-18, version 4.9.6* You, literally, have to move the cards into the finish box ### 1/5 — Entry security *2026-07-03, version 4.9.6* Why is it necessary to have a passcode entry to play? ### 1/5 — Currently game not working! *2026-06-28, version 4.9.5* Please “fix” the game! ### 1/5 — No longer works! *2026-06-26, version 4.9.5* I LOVED this game, and now it doesn’t work any more! ### 1/5 — Years with App Now Impossible to Win *2025-09-02, version 4.9.1* Had this app for years, but last two weeks nothing but “Not Winnable games! The antidotal data suggests developers have messed with randomness of deals or some algorithm is dealing me 90% “not winnable” games. The game is worthless. Sad, like the app. Searched for new apps, but they all seem rigged. Skip downloading this app. Gotta love capitalism, algorithms and technology. ### 1/5 — One star review *2024-12-30, version 4.8.1* Let me explain: I gave this app a one star review for the app being the hints WAY TOO USELESS! the hints are showing me the same spots and it really gets me overwhelmed because the hints are WAY TOO USELESS and I would be stuck in a loop until I start a new deal and then IM OVERWHELMED AGAIN! So I still play it often but still it’s bad. So I don’t know if you should get this app. ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2024-10-20, version 4.8.1* Free is having an ad load way too frequently and take forever to close. It did not used to be this way. No X to close until the ad runs. You have to quit the game to let go so it is not worth playing anymore. ### 1/5 — Used to be fun *2024-05-22, version 4.7.5* This game used to be fun and it was my go to game but something has changed recently. So many games now are “not winnable”. This even happened recently after one card had been turned. What’s the point of starting a game if the system says it’s not winnable after the first turn. Very disappointed, time to find another solitaire game that at least gives you a chance of winning! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Old solitaire *2026-09-02, version 4.9.7* I’ve had this game for many years. I win 9% of the time. It’s not about winning. It’s like mind calming. Nothing taxing. Just solitaire ### 5/5 — Go to game *2026-08-27, version 4.9.7* This is my go to game for passing time when waiting at the Doctors office. ### 5/5 — Relaxing and Fun *2026-08-21, version 4.9.7* Great pool theme look ### 5/5 — Love this Solitare app *2026-07-30, version 4.9.6* I enjoy the challenge and have been using it for years.
