ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Solitaire by MobilityWare holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire by MobilityWare has 139K ratings behind it against 126, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Solitaire by MobilityWare's written reviews are positive against 86% of Solitaire Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Solitaire by MobilityWare ships an update every 3 months, Solitaire Master every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
