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. ### 4/5 — Like it *2014-03-04, version 1.4* Game is great ### 3/5 — Good graphic, but NOT user friendly *2014-02-21, version 1.4* No auto finish, no option to turn off the sound. ### 5/5 — Zen solitaire *2013-11-29, version 1.4* Love this game!

All in all, one of the best solitaire games I've played. I love the graphics! ### 4/5 — Great, nice visuals *2013-08-15, version 1.3* Great game, nice graphics and atmosphere. The one complaint is there's no auto finish. ### 4/5 — Nice place to play *2013-08-09, version 1.3* I like solitaire. If you are going to play; this is nice environment to play it in. ### 5/5 — Game zen *2013-07-23, version 1.3* Great ### 4/5 — Very visual *2013-07-20, version 1.3* I enjoy the detail. ### 5/5 — Challenging and different *2013-07-16* This is nice change from other solitaire games ### 4/5 — :) *2013-07-09, version 1.3* Good graphics.

Takes getting used to the movement. ### 5/5 — Bloomfield-42 *2013-07-06, version 1.3* Luv it xx ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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!! ### 1/5 — Would not work *2013-10-02, version 1.3* Gave up trying to get it to play so put in iCloud with all the other rubbish games ### 1/5 — Solitare *2013-01-14, version 1.3* Wont let me log in ### 1/5 — Cr *2013-01-08, version 1.3* Strange ### 1/5 — Confusing *2012-11-08, version 1.2* No instructions. Don't really get it to be honest. I know how to play Solitaire but don't understand the rest. It doesn't make a lot of sense. ### 1/5 — Bobbing for apples *2012-07-06, version 1.1.1* Have deleted the damn thing. Spent too much time trying to get the cards in the right place & ended up with a headache and feeling nauseated. Worse than reading on a crowded bus. Sort of like a mash up of bobbing for apples and solitaire. It is pretty, but that isn't of much use ### 1/5 — Terrible version *2012-05-27, version 1.0* Buggy, difficult to see the cards, prone to crashing. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time. . . *2012-05-19, version 1.0* Doesn't work, keeps crashing ! ### 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. ### 2/5 — Weird *2013-05-21, version 1.3* Hurts my eyes to get the cards focused. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very calming :):) *2021-12-01* Beautiful & calming. Slows down play, but in a nice way. ### 5/5 — Really cool *2015-11-29, version 1.4* Got so engrossed I thought I was sitting in a park. ### 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! ### 5/5 — Solitaire Zen *2014-03-05, version 1.4* Wow!! Two games and I'm a Zen junkie ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2014-01-20, version 1.4* I like it ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2013-12-23, version 1.4* This is the best one I've found so far! ### 5/5 — Solitaire Junky *2013-12-23, version 1.4* Very tranquil pleasant game nice graphics. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
