What Makes Full Deck Pro Solitaire Stand Out
No ads of any kind!
Over seventy deliciously delightful solitaire games for your iPad or iPhone, this is the ad free version of Full Deck Solitaire with zero pop ups, ads, or anything to interrupt your solitaire game playing!
Designed by a Solitaire loving Mom and Daughter, Full Deck Pro Solitaire is a beautiful card game with an easy to use user interface. Sixty three uniquely different variations of Solitaire not seen in many other games keep even the most seasoned guru occupied. Statistics, rendered as graphs, for each game let you know how many hours you have played, games you have won and your highest score for that game. A uniquely smart three level hint system lets you know if there are moves to play and will even shake the cards if you can’t quite see that elusive move. Smart badges on decks show you how many cards are left to be dealt from that deck.
The game has an option of a classic background, your own wallpaper, or a gorgeous moving video of the ocean under the Moon.
Games include Klondike 3 Card, Klondike 1 Card, Vegas Solitaire, Freecell, Thieves Of Egypt, Forty Thieves, Red And Black, Royal Parade, Demon, Canfield, Canfield 1 Card Turn, Double Canfield, Spider 4 Suit, Spider 1 Suit, Spider 2 Suit, Pyramid, Tri Peaks Solitaire, Golf, Golf Around Corner, Gaps, Montana, Beleaguered Castle, Bisley, Clock Patience, Grandfather's Clock, German Clock, Captive Queens, Scorpion, Scorpion 2, Wasp, Three Blind Mice, Osmosis, Osmosis By The Book, Yukon, Russian Solitaire, Chinese Solitaire, Australian Patience, Fortress, Pyramid Golf, Aces Up, Miss Milligan, Demons and Thieves, La Belle Lucie, Trefoil, The Fan, Super Flower Garden, Storehouse, Cruel Solitaire, Baker's Dozen, Spanish Patience, Castles in Spain, Portuguese Solitaire, Good Measure, Baker's Game, Eight Off, Penguin Solitaire, Seahaven Towers, Rank And File, Number Ten, Lady Jane, and Zerline!.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Have played it for years. Love the beach background and play ocean noises while playing or play music or a audiobook.
A relaxing way to destress . Thank you!!! For years, we have played ProSolitare while listening to Audible books so we dont fall asleep!! We are currently listening to the new Mark Twain book.
This is THE game to download. No need for any others, just play solitaire.
We just wanted to let you know that under options preference, you spelled separated incorrectly. Sorry we had to tell you. Love the App.
Im a spider solitaire addict and have been using the desktop version of this app. Just learned about the iPhone version and its so far superior to any other iPhone spider solitaire app that Ive deleted all the others Ive been rotating among.
It shows us that life can have both positive and negative outcomes. You just have to play on.
Good choice of games! Play the ones you like.
We've had this app for years. It's great in all ways, but the graphics are the best.
We like the game, but our top score always says 0. Why is that.
We can play this game for hours. We get great satisfaction when we see all the cards line up. Hopefully it helps our memory also.
We enjoy the games. Especially how you can pick the option to win them.
What a terrific Solitare games collection.
We just simply enjoy this game, on our computer or on our phone. Its engaging and at the same time it is relaxing.
We have always loved this app – for years, decades even. No ads, lots of games, no glitches. But now the format has changed. Even when scaled up, the cards are too small. What happened? Please dont make us look for a different solitaire app. We want this one the way it used to be.
We have tried several Solitaire games, and we like this one the best. Easy to use, several levels of difficulty, and good selection of games. We liked the old menu much better, though.
The flow of game play is smooth. The option for playing winnable games is a nice feature even if you might not win in the end, its cool enough to know that a win was at least possible. There are a few games that hit the sweet spot for us, and we should try more of them.
They fixed an aspect ratio stuff a while back. We should have updated our review. We play this game daily with our morning coffee. The only complaint we have is that the way that scoring is done is a mystery – to us anyway.
We are revising our review. The update fixed the issues we had. We now miss the best worldwide scores though.
The solitaire is great, but no Texas Hold Em. Disappointing.
This new version is ok but on an iPhone the cards are hard to see. If we could turn the phone sideways to increase the size of the cards we would not have to guess what cards we are choosing.
Used to work much better. Now we lose more and last card in all 7 places is the same color (all black or all red).
It is ok to play once in a while.
Im now an even longer, lover of and long time user/player. Couldnt find any contact info to tell you about a glitch and two simple issues bugging us since the update. (1st wk of March 24) On our iPhone, we cant use either the menu or redeal buttons when using in landscape. Games like Pyramid an others are easier to play in landscape. Heck, while Im at it, could you maybe highlight the redeal button so we stop hitting restart and get dealt the same hand again? Maybe give each a different color edging. Also, pleeeze, make the PLAY button bigger or maybe switch it with the orange X at bottom right when switching between games. Im old (er, ish) our eyes are 20yrs old. Help us loyal old timers out, K? We left our old review below. Even though we cant repeat the line in the middle (in all caps) anymore, we still think you have the very best solitaire app, bar none!! Thanks for the hours (= days) Ive enjoyed playing! Now, after you fix the glitch(es), take the rest of the day off! Yall deserve it!! Absolutely LOVE this game…Long Time! Lol Im A Long Time User. This is by far the very best Solitaire Game App Ive found. We think this is the only app Ive NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH!! We highly recommend this version. Its Looked & played great on every iPad & OS Version Ive had! Keep up the great work.
NOT the latest update. Not working at all. We dont like wasting our time on unwinnable games and it will not consistently give us win able ones. We dislike having our app adding tons of lost games which are only lost because we had to quit them in order to get the game we told it to give us in the first place.
1.41 broke 1.40 and 1.42 hasnt fixed anything. Did anyone actually test this before sending it out.
Perfect. Hours of meaningless entertainment. Great variety of games: win one, cycle to the next. Hints on vast tableaus like Mrs. Mop (not because you need a hint but just because youre in a hurry). Pleasing WIN banner (there's no business like show business!) Superb for waiting for the doctor to show up at 5PM for the 4PM appointment. Or the flight delayed for 2 hours. Or 12 minutes of commercials during a half hour of cable TV. Or dullard TV like an incompetent weather caster.
This once wonderful app suddenly has a format change and is now constantly glitching, freezing and refusing to respond to taps after playing one game.
Have loved the app for years but the recent update is messed up. Can only play Klondike 3 Card and if we win (which takes us to the menu) or go to the menu, the game locks up. We have to shut down our phone to unlock. We mostly play Free Cell and cant get to that now. Hope it is fixed soon.
Latest update is broken. Nothing works except 3 card solitaire.
Full Deck has been our go-to solitaire game for many years. Before mobile games it was our favorite on our Mac, and it still is. Full Deck Pro is the only mobile solitaire game Ive stayed with over these many years. Im always willing to try out other solitaire games, but none of them can live up to the long list of games and variations, the features and the high quality of Full Deck Pro Solitaire. Their hint system is fantastic and customizable, so we dont get more or less of a hint than we want. You can customize almost everything in this game to your liking. Youll NEVER SEE AN AD with this game! Feel free to read that again. No ads! This small, attentive developer is always listening to their players and quickly deals with any issues that might arise. Frankly, we often wonder why people bother with any other solitaire games. Ive played the others, but you will never regret getting Full Deck Pro. Thank you for creating such a great game.
For 5 bucks you cant turn this down. Our husband plays it constantly on his tablet and is beyond addicted. Free your mind with the thinkers game and enjoy . We are grateful this is available to us. Beautiful graphics, lots of customization, tons of games and we cant get enough of it.
It may seem a minor thing, but we don't like the way cards are separated now in Klondike on the iPad. The game itself is fine otherwise. It's not a deal-breaker, but we can't see the reason for the change, nor an option to revert to the old appearance. Still the best current Solitaire app for Klondike that we've tried.
We just got the new release and it is incredibly buggy. High scores and stats were erased along with our options. The new options screen is broken so you can't select things. The animation when flipping through the deck is annoying and distracting. This was a simple, reliable, well done game until you shipped this untested train wreck. Please fix it and be more careful in future.
We love this app because it has a variety of games. We play it everyday. This has several games with a variety of different ways to play. Some easy a d some challenging a great way to keep yourself occupied and learn to focus.
Why? No ads at all. Like the old fashioned card games. The developers are very nice – keep up the good work.
Ive been playing the single card solitaire for years across several devices starting with an iPod. After a couple of years of play we decided to use a deck of cards to see how the cards played since we always seemed to have a 4th ace or 2 as the final card needed under the cards to be turned to completing a winning game. What we found was there wasnt a difference between the game and the deck of playing cards. Seeing that was fun. Its a form of meditation and relaxing mental occupation for us. The other games havent been of interest to us so we cant give an honest opinion about them.
The graphics are nice, there are options for card design, and many forms of solitaire are available. Fore a measly price, one can enjoy this game without annoying pop up ads. Worth it.
This Full Deck solitaire game has enough customizable options to satisfy anyone who enjoys playing on their tablet. It also doesnt have childlike graphics which we find more likable. This game maintains meaningful statistics and provides visible appearance pleasing to mature players.
The orientation no longer works, we are unable to play in landscape mode. Also., the new format is difficult to read, the type is too small.
We love playing this on our iPad while waiting in the drs office or waiting for our car to be maintainced.
Great playing of game particularly as we have used the customizing features to make it most comfortable to us. We do not understand the scoring system in particular the best world wide score. We understand the cards played against time and use those numbers as the challenge to play smarter and faster. All in all, the best solitaire game available on the web. Joe.
We updated to latest iOS 16.5 on 5-19-2023. This app would not open after the update. We had to pay the 4.99 again. We only bought it again because it is the best app for solitaire.
Love this app. Ive had it for years. Just one thing..under options you have spelled the word separate wrong. You spelled it separate. Please fix. Thanks.
We really like this suite of Solitaire games, but am most unhappy that it deleted itself and all our stats, so we had to download it and start again from scratch. Please fix whatever caused this blip in our game play. Thanks.
Clear easy to read cards. Can change background and deck to your liking. Background looks like your looking at a real calm live view. Ive used it for years. Its our favorite app.
This Full Deck solitaire game has enough customizable options to satisfy anyone who enjoys playing on their tablet. It also doesnt have childlike graphics which we find more likable.
Love this game. Have it on 4 macs, an iPhone, and an iPad. We play a dozen plus games a night. The only criticism we have is that it doesnt sync across devices. It would be so nice if we could start them game on one device and finish it on another. Ive always been disappointed that that doesnt appear to be an option, at least in the Pro version.
Fun to play and we win sometimes.
We found this after trying dozens of the top apps. We prefer the double klondike draw one card which is among the easiest especially with the winnable deal option. One enhancement we would like is sorting the foundation spots by suite. We.e. The 2 spots for hearts/diamonds/spades/cluns should be next to each other. Right now they are placed randomly so when you're checking if a card of a particular suite fits in the foundation, it slows down your game when one of the suite is on far left and the other is onnthe far right of the foundations. This is probably because the game was originally designed for one deck.
This is a great app that we have used for quite a while; thank you for it! But recently the app has been replaying games. If we finish a game (we have been playing the Royal Parade version) and navigate away from this app, when we return the app puts us back into the previous (finished) game after the final deal. So we have to complete the game again to move on (or just redeal). Even if we finish a game and then start a new game, then navigate away from this app, when we return we are again thrown back into the previous game at the same point following the last deal. This happens on both iPhone 13 Pro and iPad mini 4. Thank you.
