Klondike and FreeCell for iOS. Free to play. No ads. No accounts. No analytics. No cookies. The classic cascade fires when you win. Tap to draw, drag to move. Draw 1 or Draw 3. Full undo. Two card faces: the classic deck and a larger, friendlier one for tired eyes. The free game is the whole game. Klondike, FreeCell, the Daily, the win-cascade, full undo, Draw 1 and Draw 3, and a set of starter card backs and felts that stay free for good. No timers. No rotation. Nothing expires. Solitaire Nook Deluxe is $4.99. It opens every card back and felt in the gallery, the extra game modes, Vegas scoring, and the longer stats: win rate by draw type, time to clear, streak history, the runs you almost had. If you would rather take one piece at a time, any single card back or felt is $0.99. The free version stands on its own. Deluxe is for backing a solo developer. A Daily seed deals everyone the same hand at midnight, local time. The shuffle is frozen and verifiable, so it plays the same a year from now as on the day it was dealt. The Daily calendar keeps every hand you have played, win or miss, so you can go back and read the month. Leave a hand in progress and pick it up later, on the same card you left. A streak counts the days you showed up. Game Center leaderboards are opt-in and first-party. Daily and All-Time. Any score you submit goes to Apple, not to the developer. Leave them off and the game does not notice. The win-cascade is the one from the dial-up years. It runs on a frozen engine, smooth on ProMotion, steady everywhere else. No streaming. No syncing. Pixel art in a late-SNES register. The whole app works offline. Privacy is structural. No third-party SDKs. No tracking pixels. No advertising identifier. No request to follow you between apps. There is no backend, and no copy of your data reaches the developer. Your hand in progress, your Daily history, your collection, and your streak stay on your device. Nothing else leaves it. Not in the app: notifications at 9 PM on a Tuesday. Friends-of-friends. A subscription. A login wall. "Watch an ad to undo." Real-money tournaments. In the app: Klondike and FreeCell. The cascade. A Daily, with a calendar that remembers. A game that waits where you left it. Game Center leaderboards if you want them. A free version that is the whole game. Deluxe if you want to back a solo developer. Built by one developer in New Hampshire. Ships on iOS 18 and later.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Solitaire Nook at none against Hyper Block's shown. Hyper Block's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
