Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Has provided much enjoyment and mind challenges over the years.
This is our idea of the perfect game of Solitaire. Thank you.
This is a great distraction when waiting for an appointment or results from a doctor.
Im disappointed with this game. Theres no setting for beginner, expert, etc. We continually have to quit and start a new game. The only great thing about it is no ads that hijack your screen for a full minute.
Love playing it relaxes us before sleep.
Enjoy playing solitaire. Funny to change the background and cards to the fun backgrounds and colors you offer for the holidays.
Resets quickly, fast moves and it feels random. We have tried several apps, this is the best. Great programming.
15% increase on wins would be a positive from our perspective.
We love the summer background! Bright and cheery! Almost perfect. Too bad the ad banner is still blocking some of the graphics at the bottom of the screen.
The game is well designed! Although, it does freeze once in a while and we understand that may be due to our router and/or WiFi.
Please make Antares, Grandfather Clock also Demon and Thieves available. Thanks.
The scoring isnt correct. Sometimes we can have all aces at the top with additional cards on the aces and only have a score of 20. The score decreases as the game goes on.
Great variety of cards, presentation is clean with seasonal changes to the cards, but mostly because it lets us know if Im not going to win the game in advance.
Been playing this game for years. We play it at the end of the day or when we a m so sick of the tons of ads in our other games. Game play is never interrupted by ads as they are banner ads which are low and out of playing area and seldom are distracting. We particularly love the easy to read faces of the cards and the easy flow of the game. We hope this game is never changed.
Great fun, especially when you are alone. Challenges galore because you want to win against the cards.
We like this game because it is horizontal..we play on our iPad horizontally with its easel, we do not like to need to turn it and hold it vertically. So thank you for keeping horizontal. Nannasz. Note: if it becomes vertical we will delete it. Thank you. Nannasz.
Great classic game. Cute background. Plenty of settings to suit all levels.
A good way to pass the time especially when theres no internet.
We enjoy the format of the Solitaire game, no interruptions with silly games that we have no interest. Thank you S. Sweet.
We really enjoy this game, you have the most adorable and beautiful backgrounds with matching cards. However, the ad banner blocks the cute background features. As example, the Easter background has graphics that move but we cant see them because the ad banner is in the way. We know you need to have the ads, but is there a way to change the graphics in such a way that you can see the full picture? Otherwise, this is a lot of fun.
Good for the mind and concentration.
We love this. Ive been playing this for a long time.
With the elimination of ads, Real Solitaire has provided a game that is fun to play! Highly recommended.
We Play A Lot of Solitaire & Have Tried Many Many Games & This Game Is Truly The Best.
Love the Holiday play cards. The colors are vibrant and fun.
We have played different solitaire games for years but this is the only one where we cannot pull a card from the discard pile. Result: we have to stop that game and start a new one. Why.
We have to push 2-3 times to get a card to move. We are not a lefty, very slow.
Nice daily exercise ! Thank you. -@llen.
Just love it! Keeps our mind going without being annoying. Easy to use and just relaxing.
This is the only game we play on our iPad Its easy and fun.
We have loved this card game since we were a kid. Glad that you have card & background screens to swap out. Please add more relatable imagine options ie; Clowns, Animals, Cars,Trucks,Firemen,Policemen. Continue Success To All & Merry Christmas.
Takes our mind off of everythingrelaxing challenge.
We really love playing this game it relaxes us.
Have had years of fun with this game.
We need to do something with our hands while Im watching tv.
If you're looking for a simple but visually appealing solitaire game, this is it! The only ads are banners which are not at all intrusive. We love the different wallpapers and card faces/backs. You can change the wallpaper to your own photo; we would love the ability to customize the card backs, too. Game play options are great (left hand or right hand optimization, scoring choices, auto finish, etc.). We especially like the "Not Winnable" notification.
Great game! It helps to keep our mind sharp! It is fun and an excellent pastimes.
It seems to be the hardest solitaire game we have ever played. We can go months without winning and then out of the blue, we win two in a row.
Challenging and relaxing thanks.
This version is addictive, calming, and engaging! We love it and play it whenever we can.
Im old, have Parkinsons and not able to live a normal life anymore. We appreciate playing this game, doing puzzles and having beautiful pictures provided to choose the colors we prefer. We thank all of you for providing this entertainment for handicapped people free of charge. Hugs to whoever makes this possible.
Overall a good App. Seems a little insecure as it keeps asking us to rate the App.
Impossible long times between being able to win a game destroys any potential enjoyment.
Fun seasonal graphics but why no audio.
The best solitare! Highly recommended.
This is the best and smoothest solitaire game Ive found in here.
The very best solitaire game ever.
Bright spry spirited gaming! Fun filled for a fast good time. Adds fun to the day.
Always loved this game. Thank you.
Awesome effects when your playing a game of solitaire theres something else other than the cards to look at, the Halloween backdrop is very awesome with everything constantly moving outside of the HOUSE!!!…like the spider on the wall!..the black witch on a broom stick, the comet moving across the sky! The bats moving in for the kill… The ghostly apparition gliding in the air & fade-away. Lots to see and lets not forget about the black cat with glowing eyes in the upper bedroom window. And the howling when you least expect it…..l personally we like the Halloween background it shows a lot of things like the giant black spider on the front right side wall always searching for something to munch!! And the bats that fly in the night sky creepy or the Head Witch whom resides in the spooky grey house.
