The best solitaire app in the App Store
This really is the best solitaire app you’ll find anywhere. The only suggestion I could make for an improvement is based on the reason I love the app so much (more on that later). My suggestion is that each ‘how to play’ section is updated with the different names used for this game in other languages; as well as both their literal translation and explanation of any associated idioms. It would help those of us who learned the game under a name in a different language to find the app; and the developer might also want to consider translation or a other language versions chosen as a result of seeing where these games are more common, but language is a hurdle to opening a new market (it may be surprising to talk to a linguist about this - the routes of learning and adaptation might be really surprising). It’s also just interesting to see how different cultures relate to the same game.
I love that this app has so many games I had never played before, as well as many variations on games I already knew. If you haven’t worked it out already, then the thing I loved most about this app was finding it had a game I spent many hours playing as a child. The entire pack dealt out in a tree-like arrangement, and the aim is to pile each suit, aces up, on a column down the centre. It took a number of fails to find an app with this game. It’s a really complicated game which requires a lot of careful analysis and strategising before making each move; so it’s a great game to play with tweens and teens if you want them to increase those skills. Kids generally roll their eyes at a pack of cards these days; but teach them to play this on an app; and keep a few packs of cards in your emergency bag; and you’ll get through a power outage like a pro.
I think it might be time to see if the developer has a bridge app. More of a challenge to build, but a more social version of solitaire for sure; and I doubt there is already a bridge playing app out there of this standard unless the same developer built it.

Waste of money
I have played solitaire 45 times since buying this and lost every game. I don’t need to win every game but I didn’t spend $5 to lose every game.

Great app. I use it every day.
My only complaint is the inability to undo the “replay” or “new” if pressed in error.
