ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Classic Solitaire holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Classic Solitaire has 3.5K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 28% of Classic Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
