Fabulous game if I could play it without crashes! ### 4/5 — Terrific app. *2018-11-17, version 1.4.10* I thoroughly enjoy the variety of games provided, but so far, Lucas suits me the best. Keep up the good work, the app. functions flawlessly. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Needs Attention *2018-11-14* Crashes are annoying. Please update for more stars. Great game, just needs updated for newer os’s. ### 4/5 — Great game but loose the wha wha tune when you lose *2018-08-18* I play the all time and have had it for years. On my iPad Pro it is a bit unstable, I think related to multitouch. However if it crashes it doesn’t lose its place in the game when you relaunch it. The sounds effects are great, except for the very annoying “loser song” when you lose a game. Please give us an option to turn that off without losing the other fine sound effects. ### 5/5 — Great! *2018-02-07* All my favorite solitaire games and lots of new ones, too. Super fun! ### 5/5 — Best *2017-07-28, version 1.4.10* Best solitaire around, I've bought it on every platform it's been developed for. You could say that I'm a Super Fan. ### 5/5 — Great Solitaire *2017-05-02* I love this app. ### 4/5 — Games *2017-02-11* I, for one, love the last update. The bugs that bugged me appear to be fixed, and I do not use the animations; too much fluff. ### 4/5 — Cannot Clear Scores *2017-01-25* It's was possible to reset the score to 0 in Ipad Freecell, but that function has disappeared. I'm monitoring a neurological deficit with the game, and resetting facilitates data analysis. ### 3/5 — App settings *2017-01-15, version 1.4.10* Please give option for right hand playing in settings ### 5/5 — Ze best. *2016-12-09, version 1.4.10* Yeah! ### 3/5 — Missed the mark. *2016-12-02* Yup, the animation became jerky after the update. Nope, reloading the app did not correct the issue. Tis a shame. ### 5/5 — Sehr schön umgesetzt! *2016-11-24, version 1.4.9* Auf dem Mac immer gerne gespielt, zählt das Spiel jetzt auch auf dem iPhone und dem iPad zu meinen Favoriten. Weiterhin ein ständiger Begleiter auf jedem iPhone. Andere Apps kommen und gehen, Solitaire 4ever bleibt bestehen. Viele Varianten. Schöne Grafik. Stabil. Was will man mehr? ### 5/5 — By far the best *2016-07-11, version 1.4.8* This is the only game app that I've reinstalled on every new phone and iPad. This is a must have app for long plane rides! ### 4/5 — great app *2016-04-05, version 1.4.8* Easy and fun to use. Helps to pass the time while waiting. BUT...... with all the available types of sol, why is there no Thieves of Egypt game? One of my favorites! ### 5/5 — Des heures de plaisir ! *2016-01-09, version 1.4.8* Un jeux des plus passionnant à l'usage les réussites sont très fréquentes j'apprécie énormément ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2015-08-24, version 1.4.8* This operates a bit differently from the computer version, but I like it - especially since the cards are big enough for my old eyes to see easily. I also appreciate the wide variety of games included. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cannot stop shimmering *2017-08-19* Really unhappy with this. Had free version for years with NO problem. Now with an updated iPhone, its horrible and unusable. Even paid for the $3 version bit problems remain. Cannot stop spinning cards even when box unchecked. Background shimmering is so visually annoying. Sad that I can no longer play solitaire on my iPhone SE. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — WHAT DID THEY DO!!! *2016-11-24, version 1.4.9* I updated this game site today 11/23/16, and now it is slow and jerky ... the cards no longer move smoothly and it is really annoying and hard on the eyes. This was my favorite site, but if not fixed, I will have to go elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Today's Upgrade *2016-11-22, version 1.4.9* Just applied the new upgrade. Supposed to enhance the game. See nothing other than the card movements are NOT SMOOTH! Every action is jerky. Do not like it. ### 1/5 — Time to update *2013-09-29, version 1.4.6* This is a great app, but it is time to update and make it compatible with the wider screens. A review of one star is a bit extreme, but when I see some changes, I will improve it. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2013-07-25, version 1.4.6* Worst ever. Give me back my money. ### 1/5 — No congratulations? Oh, no! *2013-05-08, version 1.4.6* After taking quite a while to finally win a game of Forty Thieves I was so disappointed that the game just automatically reset. No pause, no "Congratulations", no acknowledgement whatsoever that I had finally won a game. NOTHING! Yes, as other reviewers have said the graphics are great but to me they are all a waste when you don't even get the simplest acknowledgement for winning a game. Please take some of that obvious graphics talent and put together a nice "congratulations" animation for winning a game. ### 1/5 — Solitaire forever *2012-03-20, version 1.4.6* Sorry to say that this over engineered rubbish, animations ruin the whole principle an I still have not figured out how to stop a game and start a new one before finishing the first!!! Deleted after 1day ### 1/5 — Used to love it... *2012-02-07, version 1.4* Was my fav solitaire game until I updated. Now it's almost impossible to see game list and options ( smallest font in the world)... Also in certain games , it won't let me play cards to the foundation ( in relaxed mode) that are actually suppose to go to foundation. disappointing ! ### 1/5 — Update spoiling *2012-02-06, version 1.4* I loved this game and would have given it a five star rating. Since I have downloaded the newest update and now I am having difficulty double tapping the cards tomgo where they are supposed to go. It won't let me make moves by dragging the card to where I want it to go. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Lots of games, not great on readability *2009-10-22, version 0* Big plus is lots of games, but the graphics are a frustrating and hard to read. I can't get to full-screen mode. Also, you can't magnify by dragging and pinching. Instead, you click the magnifying glass and can't control the zoom. I don't like the off-center look of the tableaux either, but can't seem to change it. The controls are not very intuitive, either. Would LOVE to be able to change card size for easier readability, and would like more options on the backgrounds and card backs too. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sum ting wong *2021-12-14* I’ve had this app for 9 years but suddenly I can’t use family sharing. It worked yesterday but this morning no. Did the developers do away with family sharing? ### 5/5 — Great game - one nit to pick *2020-03-17* Three shuffles and a draw is implemented as three shuffles THEN a draw. You can only draw after the last shuffle. You should be able to draw at any time. Many times, I’ve been one draw away from a win on the first or second shuffle, only to lose it with the final shuffle. ### 5/5 — Best solitaire game out there *2019-07-20* ...though I do wish it would include an option to peek at unturned cards — not to cheat, but to see what could have been done after I lose a game. ### 5/5 — Rwilliams *2018-12-21, version 1.4.10* I have used this gaming app on my iMac for some time and never cease to enjoy it various games. I am now downloading it onto my iPad and iPhone. This was published some years ago; I am still enjoying it in 2018 ### 5/5 — Nice *2018-12-09* Good game selection. Nice touch screen utilization. ### 5/5 — Best Time User *2018-10-09* Absolutely the best solitaire app available, period. ### 5/5 — Great Solitaire *2018-07-16, version 1.4.10* I played countless hours of many many different solitaire games with this app. I play in line at the grocery store, on long airplane flights, during boring meetings and whenever else I have a little spare time. Simple, fun, and when you’re done, watch the cards fly away in nice animations. ### 5/5 — Great! *2018-07-05* I have been using this app nearly forever - through multiple iPod touches and four generations of iPad. It has worked great on all of them. Thanks much to the developer for a great solitaire game and continued support. ### 5/5 — The best *2018-07-04, version 1.4.10* I have it for years and still playing. Love it! ### 5/5 — One of my favorites *2018-05-07* This game was one of the first apps I downloaded when I got my first iPhone. I am still playing it years later. It plays beautifully and looks beautiful on both my iPhone 6+ and my 12.9” iPad Pro. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
