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.
Best Solitaire Ever!
Great selection of games with good graphics.

Enjoy playing learning new and interesting solitaire games with instructions!

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

Can’t Win
I play Las Vegas solitaire with a deck of cards and have a 10% or higher win rate. I can’t get over 3% with this and sometimes can be over 500 games without one win. Time for a new app.
So happy this works again
I’ve been playing this every day for years. It works smoothly and has no ads, so it’s perfect for relaxation. It recently stopped working (hanging on the opening screen so the game wouldn’t start) and I was gutted. It turns out this was an error in the Apple Game Centre software that was affecting lots of games. It’s been fixed in the latest update so my favourite game works again. Excellent news.

Love this but
I am trying to submit an app support query but when I send it I get a 404 not found response so I am trying to contact the App developers through the review system. Apologies. The game stays on the home page- bridge and buildings made of cards pic. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times but this is not working. I am on an iPad Geronimo (A16).

Playing since 2010
I've tried other vendors' games over the years, but this is definitely the best in my experience. It's kind of my default go to for killing time in idle moments. Sometimes the moments go on a lot longer than intended. The game quality and variety has improved greatly since it first came out, and it started out pretty good. Highly recommended!

Games always similar
I like that there are no ads or a bunch of bling. But good luck with these games. Most are very similar in that you get several of the same number cards and frankly doesn’t seem random at all. Very hard to win. The earlier version was slightly better but this one just sucks.

Flawlessly smooth and entertaining too
Longest Supported App
I’ve had this installed since the first or second generation iPod Touch and still installing on current iPhone 16 Pro over a decade later.
I can count on one hand the amount of apps that have been installed that long, updated, and functional.
Amazing developer with a fantastic rate of return on a purchase.
Thank you!

Use to be great
Way to go with the last update, now the banner is covering the cards
I love this game
Please update iOS 26 it's about time
I like it more and more.
Update- could you please change the rules on Golf to allow the game to end when the upface cards are spent. From a time challenge perspective, you lose 2-4 seconds at the end of many games trying to turn over unused cards.
Update- having spent more time, I appreciate the game play more and more. I updated to 4 stars. The shuffles for Solitaire still often look like 2 of-a-kind and full house poker hands way too often, but I do appreciate the tutorials and different options.

Leader board is incorrect
As I have achieved the fastest completion time why is a slower time at the top of the leader board
The Best
I’ve been playing this game off and on for a few years now and it never fails to be just what I want. A wide variety of games with multiple difficulties to chose from. The platform is stable and gameplay is fluid. I Highly recommend this game for years of interesting gameplay and a welcome distraction and/or time filler when needed.

Well worth it.
I’ve spent a lot of the me enjoying all the different games of solitaire available. Learned some new games I never heard of and now they are some of my favorite games! Awesome app. Can’t recommend it enough.
Below Average
I’ve played much better formats, I’m not impressed wasted my money
Love solitaire, new to Solitaire City
I stayed with one game provider for a long time. I got bored. I switched to this game and I have enjoyed it. If you want a challenge, try it
