How do I fix this? ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect! *2023-01-05, version 2.1.2* As others have said, game apps come and go, but this one is still my go-to when I have idle time but want to stimulate my brain too!! I love the clean simplicity of the app. No bells and whistles - just the great game. Open app - and play! Easy! Only reason for not getting 5 Stars, is because if I’m listening to my iTunes music (on earbuds) when I open Simply Solitaire, the game app kills my iTunes, even if I mute the Solitaire sound in the app!! Very annoying when on a 3 hour flight and I just wanna listen to some good music WHILE playing Solitaire!!! Please fix that, and I’ll revise to 5 stars!! ### 4/5 — Good game *2021-08-26, version 2.1.2* This game is good for non-beginners because there are NO hints and that’s why I chose it. But if there was a HINT button that could be turned on or off then that would be great for all levels of player, including children. That would also address the issue of not being informed that there are no other moves to end the game. ### 4/5 — Older version better *2020-07-18, version 2.1.2* Liked the older version better. You could replay a game several times without being penalized. ### 2/5 — G *2020-05-20, version 2.1.2* On my new iPad, game is choppy and images are crude compared to my older iPad. Don’t like it. ### 2/5 — Cards look drawn by hand; slow click rate *2020-01-22, version 2.1.2* On my old iPad, this was slick and reliable. On new one, the cards look hand drawn and operation is much slower. Lost its slick feel. ### 5/5 — Best solitaire game! *2019-08-18, version 2.1.2* Hands down the best solitaire game out there! Let's keep supporting this one so the developers will be encouraged to add more awesome features to this!!! Edit: Still the best! The only solitaire game I’ll play - all the elements were designed just right! Edit (2019-08-18): Still can’t get enough of it! Please continue development/maintenance for this!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-06-24, version 2.1.2* I really enjoy this version ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-10-10, version 2.1.2* Like the way this Solitare is set up. Fun to play and very relaxing. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-09-30, version 2.1.2* Used is to teach our grandson to use his numbers. ### 5/5 — Simply Solitaire HD *2018-07-19, version 2.1.2* Great game! Easy to play and a lot of fun! ### 5/5 — great game *2018-06-04, version 2.1.2* fun, simple, easy to play game. great for a distraction. love the simplicity. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2018-05-25, version 2.1.2* Super game with no annoying pop up ads. Thanks Yo Yo. ### 5/5 — Solitaire *2017-10-23, version 2.1.2* Lots of fun and no ads! Hurraahhhhh! ### 5/5 — Fun, fun, fun!! *2017-09-27, version 2.1.2* I love this version of solitaire! I play it every day and like to change the backgrounds! ### 4/5 — Needs some tweaking. *2017-09-27, version 2.1.2* Good game, but needs a verification question asking the user if they really want to play a new game. All too often, I've hit that button unintentionally and have lost a game in progress. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes after Apple update *2020-12-18, version 2.1.2* Cannot play this after updating my IPad. Game goes wonky and loses the ability to move cards.. Has not been updated in five years. ### 1/5 — Simply Solitaire *2020-11-04, version 2.1.2* November 2020 after I Pad update this game no longer works What gives...... ### 1/5 — Problems with this game *2020-02-16, version 2.1.2* The stats here are very wrong!! I like to keep track of my wins and losses. Fine! But this game counts it a loss whenever you reject a deal and ask for another hand!! (i.e., without turning over a single card) Perhaps that makes some sense if you want to play all hands you are dealt but, as I do not, I will be finding another version of on-line solitaire that lets me track my stats better. Thanks ### 1/5 — Bad Changes *2018-12-28, version 2.1.2* I have been playing “Simply Solitaire” since I got my first iPad many years ago. I just upgraded to an iPad Pro and IOS 12.1.1. On opening the app after the upgrades, I am extremely disappointed with the product. The entire app has a Mickey Mouse look and feel to it. The graphics have regressed to what you might get from some of the first Nintendo games of the early 80s. I would have expected an upgrade to almost life like images by now. Very disappointed now. ### 1/5 — Adds *2017-08-31, version 2.1.2* I used to love this game. Played it for hours and it was very calming. But now they put intrusive advertising at the top of the screen to make it the most demanding of your attention. So I switched. ### 1/5 — Unfix your "fix" *2015-09-13, version 2.1.2* Program crashes upon opening unusable. ### 1/5 — Update makes it unusable *2015-08-11, version 2.1.2* Used to work perfectly, now it is super slow. Good thing there are lots of other apps to choose from. Very disappointed ### 1/5 — Great Game! *2015-07-02, version 2.1.2* I have had this game for a while now and I have had no problems! 😀 ### 1/5 — DO NOT UPGRADE *2015-06-17, version 2.0.8* Don't they ever do product testing? ### 1/5 — Ruined!!! *2015-06-06, version 2.0.8* Y'all ruined it by upgrading it. I used to play it all the time. Now it won't even start. It keeps crashing at start up. Bring back the old version or give us the option to get it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is the solitaire app i always come back to *2026-01-20, version 2.1.2* Good custimization, simple, like the look ### 5/5 — H *2025-11-26, version 2.1.2* Simple fun. ### 5/5 — Classic and perfect *2024-01-05, version 2.1.2* I have been playing this for years. When I tried to review it it cut me off after a few stars. I hope it did not post a low review but if I am paranoid i I would say it is trying to drive you to newer iterations that are more lucrative. If you just want to play solitaire without interruption this is it ### 5/5 — Simple to play *2022-03-29, version 2.1.2* I was playing with another solitaire game before trying this one. The previous you would win about 1 time per 100 games. It wouldn’t allow the cards to come up in any order to win. Was very frustrating. This game allows you to win a lot more often. You still have to know the rules to win. ### 5/5 — No ADS! *2021-09-07, version 2.1.2* Simple. No ads. Every other solitaire game has crappy ads. Many will interrupt the game just to sell you crap, or offer you upgrades… not this game. Play until your eyes are blurry, no ads, no bothersome interruptions. Just a solid game. Bravo!! ### 5/5 — Best solitaire *2021-08-12, version 2.1.2* Simple interface, compulsive, not into games but this one got me hooked ### 5/5 — Love playing this game *2021-05-15, version 2.1.2* I've played solitaire for decades through many formats and this one is good. No annoying pop ups is brilliant. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-03-29, version 2.1.2* Best cards ever and time killer. Love it xo ### 5/5 — Game *2019-10-09, version 2.1.2* Very fun to play love it ### 5/5 — Simply Solitare *2019-09-09, version 2.1.2* Good simple addictive pastime. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
