ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

▻ Solitaire holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Solitaire Klondike Lite ships an update every 2 months, ▻ Solitaire every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
