### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-06-17, version 2.7.7*

### 5/5 — Best Ever

*2023-09-06, version 2.7.7*

This is the best suite of solitaire games I’ve ever seen.  Been playing for 5 years.

### 5/5 — Games to relax the mind

I have been playing this game since the first IPad came out!  It is my cool down, relax game. Love it!

Fantastic fun for the iPad.  Smooth card controls and very interesting game variety.  Nicely done!

### 5/5 — Great, no frills solitaire variety of games

*2021-01-03, version 2.7.7*

Been playing these games for years on many devices. Have my favorites I return to all the time. Some I win, some I don’t and those I can replay and try another strategy and learn from it. Favorite of all is The Difficult One and I can win some of those. Haven’t found that version anywhere else.

### 5/5 — Love the game

Love the game!!!

### 5/5 — Fun a Games

*2017-06-01, version 2.7.7*

I find a lot of fun games in Simply Solitaire. There are several KnI play regularly.

### 3/5 — Average game - needs improvement

*2017-05-23, version 2.7.7*

Need to enable unlimited shuffles and unlimited plays. Shutting down a game after a few rounds or not enabling the deck to be shuffled takes away from the enjoyment of playing.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable- Relaxing - FUN

*2017-03-04, version 2.7.7*

Great games .  My top 3 favorites are Banana Spider and The Snake and Pharaohs Grave.
