SOL.EXE User Reviews

Top reviews

The best Solitare. Ever.

Slightly obsessed with this app, been playing for over a year and it makes me happy every time I use it.

I basically live in this game

It's solitaire and thats it. Simple, gets the job done. I like to turn on dada cards and then see if i can beat a game before the song ends.

Incredible

A super cute solitaire experience! I love the unique flair and the retro theme. A must have on every iPhone

Simply the best

I’ve tried the others. This is the most authentic port of Solitaire, and it plays without ads, tracking, or micro-transactions. It’s absolute nostalgia in your pocket without compromise. If you’re using any other Solitaire, I feel bad for you!

No ads!

Simple fun

Honestly amazing

Great solitaire and I just love the look of it

♥️

this is exactly what i wanted, the retro style solitaire in its 8-bit glory, plus some dope nostalgic sounds. gameplay is smooth , i love the little mouse cursor that shows up when u moved the cards :)

Just what I was looking for

I just wanted to play solitaire like the old days, so I’m glad to have found this app. It’s exactly what I wanted, and it works exactly as it should, but with an extra bit of whimsy I never expected. There seems to be a genuine love and appreciation for what it’s emulating, which I appreciate.

If I were to make any suggestions I’d only say 1) it’d be nice to be able to choose the card back and 2) somehow make the cards a bit bigger on an iPad (they’re quite tiny on my 12.9 pro).

Regardless, it’s a delightful app, a great homage to the 90s design, and it seems like it might actually genuinely be a labor of love.

Response from developer

Hey Shoulder Pads, thank you for the kind words. SOL.EXE is exactly that – a nostalgic homage to the 90s, a simpler time in personal computing. A few people have asked to be able to set their favourite card back image, so now, after 2 years, here it is. You're right that the iPad version is.. suboptimal. That's probably the next big thing on the TODO list. But first we need to figure out how to program the VCR so we don't miss Friends, then tend to our tamagochi!

Only 1 Issue

It’s a bit annoying that the game is locked in landscape mode but overall still a great app.

Response from developer

Thank you! Yes, for the longest time we've intended to give the iPad a bit more special treatment.. the iPhone version is sort of our first-class experience right now 😬 We haven't forgotten about this though – stay tuned.

Best solitaire game on the App Store

I'm either really bad at Solitaire, or it was harder in the olden days. Things weren't designed back then to press the reward button in your brain for advertising revenue. Either way this game is rated 5/7

Love it

Really great version of solitaire. Hit of nostalgia, perfectly executed. Rotation supports good too 🙃

Fresh, healthy and crunchy

I feel like I’m back in simpler times, when the resolution was low, the pixels were crisp and your computer wasn’t trying to spy on you.
