It is also stable. However the unwinnable and hint algorithms are badly flawed. The shuffle between games is completely inadequate. I ended up deleting and re downloading the game every now and then to try and clear the cash. ### 3/5 — Great but too sensitive on the edge and touch *2026-07-14, version 4.9.6* Many time when I try to move a card near the edge, the window resize instead. Also, sometime the game moves card by itself after my move and this just make me angry ### 2/5 — Needs a update *2025-10-18, version 4.9.1* Needs a update ### 5/5 — Perfect solitaire *2025-10-13, version 4.9.1* Pleasing just-right graphics, superb gsme play. ### 5/5 — Real Solitare *2025-09-01, version 4.9.1* Addicting with brilliance! Quality performance. Easy on the eyes and challenging to the brain. Adverts are horrid. Many are far too long and take 2 or 3 clicks to get to the next game. All have no interest to us. ### 5/5 — Christmas theme *2025-07-31, version 4.9.1* Love the snow & Christmas trees/lights, & is a great surprise when Santa & reindeer fly by ### 5/5 — Love In *2025-05-13, version 4.8.9* It's a part of every day. A great brain conditioner and amusement Bill P.S. 160,000 games and counting! ### 3/5 — App has started crashing recently *2025-04-23, version 4.8.9* Update since the last two iOS releases and for this app have resulted in the app crashing in the middle of a game. ### 5/5 — Great fun… *2025-04-18, version 4.8.9* Been playing this game for over 5 years, just love it… ### 5/5 — The Best &Fun *2025-03-17, version 4.8.7* I have had this wonderful card app for years and it is so nice to play. Today’s update made it even better. The graphics are awesome with all kind of options to make your game play perfect. A big THANKS to the developer for caring about your app and making it better for a grandma like me. I play almost every day. ### 5/5 — New feature is annoying *2025-03-15, version 4.8.6* The automatic restart “feature” that was added in the latest update is an unnecessary downgrade. Instead of just one tap for a new game you watch a timer for it to start. Minor but irritating and a time waster, a bug not a feature for me. YMMV. Otherwise a great app. ### 4/5 — Great but missing « Split View » support on iPad *2025-01-28, version 4.8.4* Because it is easier to view and play when the iPad is in « portrait » mode, using the game in « Split View » would provide a better experience when using the iPad in « landscape » mode (my default mode) ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2024-12-15, version 4.8.2* This is a great app that I use daily. Over the years I’ve been able to use it on planes, trains & while waiting for appointments. It’s also handy to use while overseas waiting on flights or at any countryI’m visiting. ### 5/5 — Solitaire *2024-12-12, version 4.8.2* I have been playing this solitaire game for years now. It is a good old friend. And, touch wood, no ads. ### 4/5 — Solitaire *2024-12-10, version 4.8.2* I love this game. Play it everyday, but it seems like a few updates are in order. Cards need to be reshuffled and new background like for Thanksgiving etc. ### 5/5 — Best Solitaire Game Ever *2024-10-25, version 4.8.2* Great mindless game when feeling anxious about something. Hate it when it gets hard and I have to think. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — There you got a rating *2026-09-15, version 4.9.8* If you didn’t bug me every time I started the app and left the app I might not have rated it 1 s tar. I could see the nagging on a free version but on the paid version, really? ### 1/5 — Me *2026-09-15, version 4.9.8* It’s too hard and doesn’t come with instructions if it’s supposed to be a old lady game why is it hard doesn’t make sense do better ### 1/5 — A terrible new feature *2025-02-14, version 4.8.6* Please remove this auto play feature. This is the worst thing you could do with this game. Please take it off immediately ### 1/5 — There are too few winnings by the player *2024-11-17, version 4.8.2* Th are too few winnings by the player to keep my interest. ### 1/5 — We want more animated backgrounds!!!! *2024-01-03, version 4.7.4* I’ve played this game for years and have enjoyed it, but it needs to be updated to add more animated backgrounds from which to choose. That would push it over the top! How about some animated winter and Independence Day backgrounds- flags waving and fireworks, snowfall and snow covered trees and houses? A forest scene with animated animals, a sky scene with hot air balloons, an underwater ocean scene with swimming fish and other sea creatures? There’s your challenge. How difficult could this be for the developers? Come on…… you can do this. ### 1/5 — We want more animated backgrounds!!!! *2022-12-20, version 4.2.0* I’ve played this game for years and have enjoyed it, but it needs to be updated to add more animated backgrounds from which to choose. That would push it over the top! How about some animated winter and Independence Day backgrounds- flags waving and fireworks, snowfall and snow covered trees and houses? A forest scene with animated animals, a sky scene with hot air balloons, an underwater ocean scene with swimming fish and other sea creatures? There’s your challenge. How difficult could this be for the developers? ### 1/5 — What a joke! *2020-08-08, version 3.8.9* With the free version there are a multitude of customization options. Amazing backgrounds, card faces and backs to choose from. I played it for a couple months and thought I’d get rid of the irritating ads. Guess what you get for $5? A wood background and a standard card face. Oh, and you can choose between red or blue for the card backs woo-hoo! You can’t change left or right sides, either. This page is a lie. It shows multiple backgrounds and card styles in the preview panels. That’s just pure false advertising! ### 1/5 — Serious privacy concerns since update - Deleted *2019-07-17, version 3.8.7* The App has just been updated and can no longer be used without accepting the intrusion and access to lots of my lovely user data. Nope that’s a step too far. Do Not Track isn’t supported either. Being covered by EU privacy legislation I don’t have to accept that approach or attitude. Deleted. ### 1/5 — UPDATED 2018 - Almost All Programmed to LOSE... *2018-09-15* Please remember this is an UPDATE to one of the better Solitaire games out there...USED TO BE!!!! SERIOUSLY READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS TOO! THE MORE YOU PLAY THE MORE LOSING HANDS ARE DEALT! EVENTUALLY ALMOST EVERY DEAL IS UNWINNABLE. LIKELY TO MAKE YOU SWITCH TO THE NEW "AD" VERSION. THE UNBOLDED FOLLOWING WAS MY PREVIOUS REVIEW, MAYBE NOW THEY WILL NOTICE AND SIMPLY MAKE IT RANDOM DEALS. IF THEY DENY MORE UNWINNABLE GAMES I WILL PERSONALLY POST A HALF HOUR LONG OF THE MOST UNUSUAL START DEALS, UNWINNABLE GAMES IN A ROW. DEALS LIKE THIS WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE SO MANY TIMES IN A ROW. AND OTHER REVIEWERS NOTED THE SAME THING. SHAME ON THEM FOR REWARDING PAYING CUSTOMERS WITH THIS. HERE IS THE ORIGINAL POST...This was a Favorite. Relaxing, etc...I played it since it's release and could win 7 or 8 out of 10 games with a random deal. Now after some updates I get unwinnable deals 8 out of 10 deals. Unwinnable games no matter how you play them because of key cards buried. 8 out of 10 games now? Not even fun anymore. And all I want is a random deal. And Wow, updating and adding features to keep an old game fresh would be nice also. The more you play, the more programmed losing games are dealt, remember, this used to be a Favorite, but likely a prank by the developers as a sick money costing joke. When you first play, random deals and fair, after a while? Completely non random hands are dealt, over and over again...App Store should remove it. Go ahead, play it for a while, then just keep hitting redeal over and over and you will see...like the other reviewer said, the deals could not possibly be random. They might have gone out of Business since so many loyal fans have noticed the NEW NON-Random deals like 4 of a kind in a row right off the deal? Several times in a row? They should be ashamed of doing this to their loyal Fans...A 5 Star Game reduced to just Awful... ### 1/5 — Unwanted app reminder in dock *2017-10-29, version 3.8.1* Why does this app now show up as a reminder in my dock? I don’t need a reminder to play solitaire, I DON’T WANT a reminder to play solitaire, I did not select this option, and I can find no way to turn it off. Since I have not permitted notifications, this seems to violate not only my privacy, but probably the app standards of Apple. Please get rid of this “feature” immediately! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this Game *2026-09-04, version 4.9.8* The new pool theme is interactive and I love it! I am challenged by this version of solitaire. No bugs at all. ### 5/5 — Hard but fun *2026-08-18, version 4.9.7* The games are very changeable with some you just know are solvable but others are very challenging so patience is required. Good fun & time consuming and along with my other card games helps me get through another retirement day. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Request for a Fall season theme *2026-07-18, version 4.9.6* This is a request for a Fall theme to use between Halloween and Christmas. Six weeks is a long time to use the Halloween theme until Christmas and a Fall theme could be used during the Thanksgiving season. Thanks. ### 5/5 — El millor solitari *2026-07-10, version 4.9.6* El mes profesional ### 5/5 — Solitaire *2026-07-09, version 4.9.6* I have been playing this solitaire game for years now. It is a good old friend. And, touch wood, no ads!!! ### 5/5 — THE Winner *2026-07-09, version 4.9.6* I’ve used this app for many years. They’re always coming up with new card and background designs. I especially like their Halloween. ### 5/5 — The new Christmas theme is great. *2025-12-23, version 4.9.5* Update: one new suggestion is that I would love to see a clear the screen type of button so that if you can’t solve the game you can still clear all the cards off the screen so you can see the wonderful Christmas theme. The way it is now if you can’t solve a game you have to leave the cards on the screen. So I think that would be a great addition. Thank you for the new Christmas theme. It’s beautiful. Are we gonna get that for the iPhone as well? Now, all we need is a theme for the fall season to break up the time between Halloween and Christmas. Thanks. ### 5/5 — The new Christmas theme is great. *2025-12-20, version 4.9.5* Thank you for the new Christmas theme. It’s beautiful. Are we gonna get that for the iPhone as well?

It is a good old friend. And, touch wood, no ads! ### 5/5 — Good fun every day! *2025-10-27, version 4.9.1* I truly enjoy the rapidity of play, the colorful cards...and winning! Thank you for this clever adaptation. Don OB. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
