### 5/5 — Very calming :):)

*2021-12-01*

Beautiful & calming. Slows down play, but in a nice way.

### 1/5 — Was my favorite.....😿

*2018-04-20*

Was was absolutely the best solitaire.....now.....it is NOTHING!!
This makes me sad. When I click on the all it say it needs to update. Ok, I can do that. Nope, just opens old app....NO upgrade. Went to UPGRADE and Solitaire Zen was even a choice to upgrade. 
A gain this makes me really sad because I was at Rank 2. Almost near finishing all the ranks
Will wait one more month for upgrade option, if nothing happens and I’m still unable to upgrade, then its Sayonara!!

### 3/5 — Good graphics but.....

*2015-12-18, version 1.4*

Not really into the virtual motion thing .....Id still rather have the deck flat on the table and not moving!

### 5/5 — Really cool

*2015-11-29, version 1.4*

Got so engrossed I thought I was sitting in a park.

### 2/5 — Nah

*2015-10-06*

Cool graphics, unique gyro. But 5 essential things I want in solitaire: tap to move, turn off sound, 1 card draw, easy undo, and dark screen to play in the middle of the night without lighting up the whole room (iPad). This only has one, the dark enough screen. Uninstalling.

### 5/5 — Solitaire...

*2015-01-27, version 1.4*

Félicitation pour votre bon travail. Très beaux graphiques, et le chant des oiseaux...très relaxant. Continuez votre bon travail 👍.

### 5/5 — A Different View

*2014-07-19, version 1.4*

I love the graphics along with the game.  I am a Solitaire addict and this one gives me a great fix!

### 5/5 — Pretty cool game

*2014-07-12, version 1.4*

This game is pretty cool. If you don't like the movement you shouldn't play but I think it's pretty neat.

### 5/5 — Divertissant!

*2014-06-07, version 1.4*

Pas mal.  Ça passe le temps!

### 4/5 — Nice presentation of a classic game...

*2014-03-19*

Great graphics, nice setting. If you're into a simple game of Solitaire it presents it nicely. Auto-complete and perhaps a one-tap-card-move would have earned it five stars.
