Community Insight:
Menu bar at the top has a bar that needs to be removed. Bottom menu stays instead of disappearing. IPad.
Great version of classic game. Diane K.
This app is well designed, and we appreciate the fair price and no ads. It also uses almost no battery. Most if the solitaire apps out there are gimmicky. This one is a classic that plays well. We like the various modes too. Thank you for a good game and for pricing it right.
So we uninstalled and reinstalled. Now it works. Love the game play. Wish you had Christmas holiday themes.
App crashes and wont start after last iOS update 14.2. Reboot still wont work. :( sad because its the only game we like to play. We did what you suggested uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the issue. Thanks.
The app stopped working with the update to iOS 14.2. Had to delete and reinstall the app and its working great. Unfortunately, we lost all our progress in the stats, but its okay because we can finally play it again.
We wish you still had a choice for always winnable.
Been playing this game since it came free on all new Macs. Thanks, Eric.
This is absolutely the best one we have found in the App Store. The wife and we tried many others but keep coming back to this one.
Addicting this game is great youll LOVE IT.
Update to review below. Ever since we gave this a mediocre review (because of freezes), it now works perfectly! Was someone listening??? Worked great for quite awhile, but now tends to get hung up. No improvement noticed with removing other software, clearing cache, playing on another device, etc. Can still play okay but takes a bit more patience to get it started. Once the new game starts it plays w/o sticking, thus 3 stars.
Keeps our mind active in a fun way! Part of our daily routine.
Ive been an Erics Solitare practically since the beginning (1997?ish) and loved playing so that every game was solvable. Miss that. Otherwise love the game, easy to see, feels like Im playing with real cards.
We really enjoy the games and play every day – many times during the day. We always enjoyed solitaire but to have the app right there any time – like a good friend – even though we lose a lot. Thanks.
Ive had this for a long time! We just transferred it to our iPad. We have tried others, but they are not this good.
Hard but rewarding when you get it done.
Our favorite way to play this game is Revealed (Deal 1). Puts it all on you. Most of these deals can be beaten; you may get it the first time but more likely you will have to try again and again. Sometimes we have to get out of it for a day or two, but its great when you finally win. It can be a real challenge.
Enjoy, not boring works with ease.
Too disadvantageous to the player. Game limited to 48 % success.
Quick game! Fun to win! Each game is a new treat! Thank you, Eric.
This used to work fine on iPad but now if dont wait to play for about 5 seconds, card movement freezes; moves VERY slowly, or does nothing at all. The help menu keeps popping up when touching card stack. (In 1 card mode). The behavior happens on the start of each new game. This has happened only since the last two iOS updates Resolved: deleted the app and reloaded – now works. OS updates must have corrupted something.
Great game! Lots of fun. We play it every day.
New version is slow, hangs up, freezes, and has an annoying pop up about a winning streak when there are no more moves in the current game! Have to rate it one star since zero stars isn't an option. Update new version 1.8 is GREAT! All problems fixed. Thanks.
Hi! Real simple: we have more than a dozen solitaire apps, and this is the one we play. It's the best one we've found. Buy it. EDIT: Still love this app, but since the IOS 11 update the game freezes frequently, often when its first opened. Im sure this is just some new OS hiccups. The game doesnt crash, but it is annoying.
During each session will freeze for up to 30 seconds but then continues fine.
We have been playing this game since forever. All of a sudden, the developers decided to ruin it. The cards are jumpy and flakey. It is not playable any more. We see a whole list of developers. Did no one QA this thing? How could you release it like this? Upgraded to current version (1.8). All issues resolved. Changed rating to 5 stars.
Clearly the best solitaire game in the App Store bar none! Had to leave one star off for not optimized for iPhone X screen.
We love it so much. Years ago we had it for our Mac and then couldnt find it any more. We just looked for it and discovered we couldnt get this particular game. We have to pay 14.95 for several games. This is a deal breaker since we wanted Klondike. We downloaded another Klondike. We are disappointed.
We absolutely love this game, but we are so tired of playing with an ad after every deal. We would give it five stars if it didnt have all these ads.
Id be more open to a direct solicitation for well deserved payment with a quick anonymous link than to suffer thru these uninteresting and distracting ads.
This Solitaire app used to be fantastic, but current versions are very sluggish and jumpy. Frequent pauses while moving cards make it unpleasant to play. We are currently using version 1.8 on an iPhone 8.
Theres animation use to place cards is more a meditative pace. No one would call it snappy.
Bottom line its too hard to win but we like no commercials.
Formerly the best solitaire app in iTunes but now crashes in ios16. Looking forward to an update, so we can get back to enjoying it. Hi!

Stopped working after 14.2 update.
Crashes constantly, piece of junk.
But we hate the rate us box popping up all the time with no way to stop it. Dont know if thats their choice or apples system. Dont care.
Erics games USED to be the best. He quit caring about a year ago. Concerns are ignored immediately. After sharing our concerns about poor play on two different iPhones several times with no improvement we finally deleted and found another app.
Great fun. Love it!!! Tried the rest and it really is the best.
Love these games … Fast to play & there are so many variations, it doesn't seem as though we have ever repeated one.
Best Solitaire and our favorite game. We have tried many Solitaire games on the App Store and this is by far the best one. New update solves the error message the old version was getting from Apple that it could slow down your device.
Great game is difficult but fun only prob is updates needed slows mac down.
Never any problems. Play several times daily. And for several years. Pleasant interface.
This is the best regular solitaire game on any platform (like the one Gates used as main fun element to initially " monopolize" pc platform windows) but tweaked ten fold. We haven't tried all the others but a lot of them. The sounds are perfect. Visuals colorful but not distracting and without silly nit picking rules that penalize for seeing a move a second too late and quickly redoing the move u just discovered. The only suggestion we have to improve is adding a wider range of comments to offer more nuanced reactions to the player's game performance. ( we wish Eric would come up with a submarine and airport game since he is the master of knowing how to keep the skill in the conceptual thinking and fun and eliminating tiny and unneeded skill in minutia. All sub and airplane games suffer from having a plethora of sim details that sap the fun out of the symbolic meaning and emotion that a sub or airport environment should have.).
Great 'past time' game (nice anti-toxic)..developer did good job! Only issue is that it's predictable when you win & lose (mostly lose). In other words the game is programmed & difficult to rise above 10% -13% wining percentage. Can't prove it. Specific patterns do seem to emerge after a couple wins with long droughts in between. Only one example. Nevertheless, it's relaxing game especially when you prefer to space out for a while.
Edited review, the developer fixed the issue and is quick to respond. The game is the best solitaire, as far as we've found. It's our zen go to.
This is our favorite solitaire game, by far. We've tried a lot of them. The developer quickly fixed a small problem after an update, and was very responsive to feedback.
Update: The jumpiness problem has been resolved. There are still a few minor bugs left, but we can play again. We don't know if we will be able to continue playing with this update that was automatically done. Even after changing the settings, it has slowed down making plays, and the cards are very "jumpy" which is very distracting. If this isn't fixed back to what it was before, we'll have to find another solitaire game to play. We're upset, because this has been our favorite for many years.
After the latest update it stutters a lot and hesitates.
We love playing this game. It is very addicting too!! It would be nice if you could change the cards backing to make it different.
