"Not one complaint – gameplay is very smooth"
"I love to pull this game out and play while I have to wait for everyday things. You can easily pick up where you left off. Great features and graphics, worth the upgrade too!"

DESCRIPTION
Written by the same Eric that developed the Eric's Solitaire Sample that came on every Mac in the U.S. and Eric's Ultimate Solitaire for Mac OS. You can drag and drop or tap cards to move them. You can even throw the cards with a shove!
FreeCell is one of the most popular variations of solitaire. It offers lots of room for skill so players don't have to rely on luck as much as in other solitaire variations. This version is strictly for iPhone/iPod.
Your game is saved when you quit or get a call and is quickly restored when you return.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Sad that Klondike players fuss about FreeCell, do they also fuss about EightOff? Let us tell them a secret. Every deal in FreeCell AND EightOff is WINNABLE!!! Its true. Ive played each for YEARS and with undo or start deal over you can play each deal to a WIN! It sometimes may take days to solve a particular deal, but we have not ever found one we cant win!! Brain exercise.
Would give a five star but the last few months there are too many ads that WILL NOT LET YOU GET OUT OF THEM and get to play.
We love this game! Its great for keeping the mind alert.
This puzzle set is great with the 3 types of games. Our favorite is Free Cell. All winnable, maybe not the first time through, which we enjoy.
We would gladly pay to get rid of ads but $59.95 is too much.
Love the game. We had won 3,996 games then opened one that was impossible to win. Had to start back at zero. Not happy about that.
Unable to play this game because of the excessive ads!!!!!!!! Definitely going to delete it.
Love the game and the user friendly app. We've played over 1250 games and love the challenge for each one.
… The bizarre math used to compute the percentage of "wins.".
Love this game! Play it everyday.
The area was smaller so the game could be played without issue. The last up date now cover the tops of the card making it hard to see the number at the top, not very good. We really did like the game before the change.
Been playing for longer than we care to admit, but this game meets and beats all our criteria for an entertaining and quality freecell app. We highly recommend it.
We are addicted to this game. Is great to play a game that doesn't stop and is interesting and entertaining and one can play any time. Thank you.
Great game but nothing is free. Developer, Eric Snider, promptly responded to our concerns about Ads blasting out between games. He is truly balancing his objective of making money and making the game user friendly. Thank you Eric for the game and for trying to make the game user friendly. Since we did not buy it we will be more understanding of the balancing act you have.
Love playing. Trying to not lose is half the fun! We haven't yet! Been several years playing. Still haven't lost and still love the game.
This is our favorite quick game. When we wake up in the middle of the night with too much on our mind, this is our go-to distraction.
We really enjoy the user interface and graphics of this app.
We are addicted to this particular game of yours, but also like Free Cell. Yes the ads can be annoying but the operative word is FREE. We are willing to buy it but don't want to lose our score. We cannot find any info on that.
We enjoyed this freecell very much until the ads started popping up. Cannot get two games in without the ads. We don't mind having ads every once in a while.
We've played this game forever. Always our go to when we have time to kill. Always had banner ads but they weren't invasive. Now a video add comes up before and after each game. The adds also play loud even when you have app sound off. Too annoying to play now. Deleted.
We have enjoyed playing this for the past 5 years . Now all of a sudden every game we have to deal with ad pop ups not fun and doubt we will co Tunis to play.
Addicting! Play it several times a day! Thank you for the awesome free app.
Recently FreeCell froze up completely. Every time we tried to play FreeCell the program would close. The other two games were fine. We requested help and Eric Snider responded. He debugged the program and sent us an upgrade. We kept all of our cumulative statistics. What more could you ask for? Thank you again, Eric Snider.
Love this game, especially eight off. Challenging but forgiving.
Our number one game! Absolutely love it.
We have enjoyed this game on our laptop for years and we're having just as much fun with it on our iPhone now. We have no problems with it at all.
Have enjoyed playing this Free Cell for years. It's challenging and fun – the best if all Free Cell apps we've tried.
Very straight forward design. Has all the best features; hints, go back, etc. So far every game is winnable; just might take several attempts.
By GemAna Played 500 Games And Still Can't Get Enough ! Enjoy This Game Of Cards : ).
The animated suggested moved aren't always the best choices but they really make it fun.
Good graphics; good playability; good mix of harder and easier; we think all are solvable; our only wish would be that stacks sometimes don't move even though there is room, so have to do it manually. Great job keep it up.
Just curious. We don't see a solve button anywhere. We think they should all be solvable, or else a "Solve" button should be added if you give up, so then if it wasn't solvable you don't ruin your winning streak. Love this app otherwise! Seahaven Towers is our all time favorite solitaire game.
New phone, now we get ads. Oh well. It's still a great game. Clean design and addictive.
Fun app that hangs occasionally and the paid version is not compatible with iOS 8.
Okay, it's Freecell. Fun to play and follows the same logic as originally developed in the old Windows operating systems. The only issues we have are, (1) the screen occasionally hangs up and won't accept touch actions. We have to turn the phone sideways to re-orient it to landscape then change it back to vertical and then everything is fine. (2) the only reason we're writing this review is that the app bugs you to death to do it, even if your response is No Thanks. We hate when it does that. (we thought 'No' meant 'No', or did we miss something???) Enjoy.
We would enjoy playing this game much more if it didn't take 6 steps to turn Autoplay on or off. This is the only Setting we ever change, and we do it twice every hand. It would seem so easy to revert this to the two-step sequence provided in earlier versions.
This game is great awesome job keep up the great work kills time fine five stars from us.
Even on an iPhone 5, this game is amazing. Will the next version have a hint feature.
Great game just can't stop once we get started.
Fun game that holds our interest! Can play if we're connected by wi-fi or not. We go back to it again & again.
We don't play many Internet games but we like this one. Just enough of a challenge to entertain for a few minutes. We don't mind the ads.
Great fun challenging solitaire.
Much better than a paid version from a different developer.
We really enjoy being able to "undo" as many steps as we need.
Fun…we love the way the cards wiggle.
Really am enjoying playing a round or two before falling asleep but it is easy and we're winning all the time :-). "Water droplet" sound effects are pleasant.
This is great! We can play anywhere :).
Definitely more challenging than your regular old solitary.
Very good. Good graphics. Challenging games.
This solitaire game is beautifully done.
