### 5/5 — Addictive

*2024-02-14*

Most challenging and addictive of all the solitaire games. Each game is different, so it never gets bored and stimulates your thinking. Hints are amazing, and an excellent way to learn the tips and tricks when first starting out. Hope it continues to have no ads.

### 5/5 — Updated Nostalgia

*2023-11-04, version 1.5.3*

Grew up with old school freecell and solitaire on the family computer. Love this take and some of the customizations, like background color!

### 5/5 — Addictive, But Stymied—Unsolvable Tableaux?

*2020-10-11, version 1.5.2*

I am hooked. There is no better version of this game, but one thing lacks: Is every game solvable? Perhaps not, perhaps so, but it is unkind of the developers not to state which is true.

Otherwise, this is the be-all-and-end-all of puzzle games. Obviously, the truest gamer will write proofs on particular tableaux, explaining why it can or cannot be solved, but come on, Freecell is a casual game. Let me know whether victory is achievable, lest I trash my stats, pull my hair out, destroy my marriage... and all for naught.

Affectionately,
C

### 5/5 — Smooth, beautiful and addictive

*2019-08-23, version 1.4.2*

Easy, visually pleasing game. Can’t put it down!

### 5/5 — Well Done

*2019-02-11, version 1.4.2*

This is a really smart version of Freecell. I like the layout, actions, and stats.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2018-04-08, version 1.1*

The hint function was really helpful as a teaching tool as I was getting to know the rules of the game.  Now I don't need to rely on it anymore.  The graphics are clear and crisp.  It's a lot of fun to play!

### 5/5 — A new free cell!

*2018-02-09, version 1.0.1*

This game is so pretty! Everything is tastefully designed and perfectly smooth! I had never played free cell before but now I cannot stop playing Recell!

### 5/5 — Best iOS solitaire

*2018-02-04, version 1.0*

If Apple made their own solitaire, this would have been it.

Clean art and interface.  Responsive and easy to use.  So addictive.

### 5/5 — Love the Hints!

*2018-02-01, version 1.0*

I don’t have a lot of experience playing card games and was unfamiliar with the rules. So I loved the Hint feature. Just tap Hint and it highlights the cards you are free to move. Strat dragging one of those cards and it shows you where they can go. This made learning a lot of fun as I never had to worry about being lost. In fact, it even calls out when you back yourself into a corner.
