What Makes ⋆FreeCell Stand Out
FreeCell brings you the fun, challenging, traditional FreeCell gameplay you know and love, with a beautiful, modern design.
Crisp, clear, and easy to read cards, simple and smooth animations, tap or drag controls, and subtle sounds make gameplay a joy in either portrait or landscape orientation. Select from a variety of relaxing backgrounds or upload your own from your photo album for a truly custom experience.
We kept FreeCell true to the spirit of the classic card game: the goal is to build up the four foundations by suit, in ascending order from Ace to King. Nearly all FreeCell deals are solvable, but they require patience, focus, and skill.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We got angry. Look folks we understand you advertise games after every deal. We understand. We are playing FREE! However what you do not understand is this. We do not for one minute appreciate you almost forcing us to pay and saying pay for no ads! You show us the same ads over and over. We cannot get back to Free Cell! We are not going to pay for the game and if you keep making it difficult for us well we think others should know it! This is not the only game and if you would like we can stop playing.
We enjoy this version of FreeCell because it finishes for you and lets you restart without having an ad.
Fun game; really makes you think.
Totally addicted and we're determined to Win Every day. We play for streaks so if we can leave one complaint and that is to add a You Sure warning before resetting a game. We mistakenly reset some very long streaks by accident.
Try it and you will enjoy the challenge.
We love this game because there are next to zero ads! Ive told many of our friends about this game ! And they thank us because its next to free of ads! And we also like Brainstorm version of Solitaire! Next to zero ads! We always look to see if Brainstorm makes a game that someone has suggested!! Thank you.
We love this game but Norton keeps saying the site is unsafe and Im not willing to gamble.
Consistent challenges without glitz but it would be nice to have comparison to recognize difficulty.
Great brain teaser works your ours to the fullest.
Crap ad design locks up app so you cant get past the ad screen without a complete restart. A decent app would have a pay version to avoid this.
We wish there was an option of Are you sure you want to start new game? We had a streak going of 797 consecutive games and we accidentally clicked new game when we wanted to replay. Ugh! Or, dont put the 2 buttons next to each other.
We like this version. No gimmicks and no commercials.
This game can be very challenging. Ever giving up is tough but rewarding when it finally works.
The game itself is great. We used to play while putting baby to sleep but we cant play anymore because some of the ads suddenly start playing loud noise/music/sound, DESPITE being muted (the mic pictorgram is crossed over and still its playing sound). This is such a betrayal. The ads that play sound are: find all pineapple game, annoying Chinese song app and some others.
This is an outstanding game and lots of fun. One of the best things is that it always works.
We challenge our mind daily with at least one game.
Intriguing solitaire puzzle since there is a solution to every deal of the cards.
Awesome game, Ive seen other Free Cell games that are numbered and with different levels of complexity ; please number your games and add levels.
We have played this game for a long time. Our most recent phone upgrade for some reason reset the game. We had over 1,100,000 accumulated points. Poof! All gone.
Great game but too many of the ads freeze. The only way to unstick them is to shut down and restart the phone or delete the game entirely. So annoying.
We like the game, but recently the EBONY ad has been hanging and not allowing us to return to the game. We now have shut our we off and restart it before we can play again.
It would be perfect but we think it is still buggy. It seems any time you try to place a King anywhere he wont place. Even when there is a empty cascade to put him in he wont place. Not even with an alternate colored Queen on top when moving.
Spam-like on iPhone reminiscent of Windows b4 pop-up blocker.
Ads half the time. Also difficult to truly complete the set.
We love the game itself. But some ads are defective. We can't close them out because the timer countdown never starts. We have to swipe to get it off the screen then close the whole game out with a swipe to play. So many ads are irritating enough, but having ads that don't work is REALLY irritating.
We like this game very much. But, recently theres a new ad called think before you pull The ad shows a man pointing a gun next to his head. Could easily be interpreted as suicide. THIS AD NEEDS TO COME DOWN AND GO AWAY.
This is one of the best-designed versions of FreeCell we've ever played. The ads are tolerable. Game play is smooth. The recent update improved the readability and added cool new animation. The achievements add interest to ordinary play. The only thing we could ask for would be numbered games and the ability to choose a specific one, but that's minor.
Since youre update Im now getting adds again. Plus our font automatically changed without our control. We cant tolerate your adds, please instruct us how to get rid of them.
Game plays great. We sit through way too many games a day. But the ads, the ads are terrible. Two to three between games. You have to wait for the X to appear to get past them. Every single New Game. Real crappy.
Great quick game, once you get the hang of it.
Great game! But the most recent update created a situation where scoring is flawed. Regardless of the time it takes to win a game or the number of moves, the score ALWAYS hovers around 425-450 point. The game is enjoyable to play but the built-in reward of points earned for good fast play have disappeared.
Have had this app for years and love it, however recent update has caused it to drain battery. 30 minutes of used killed 20% of battery (iPhone 11 with great battery health). Please fix.
The game is fun enough if you know how to play. Passes time.
What are you trying to do? Alienate customers? Ive got an add, and we think its in Chinese, it might be Japanese. We wouldnt know. We are trying to click out of it, and it opens another page. We dont want to get hacked, or spammed and we have no idea why you would do this. We cannot escape this ad.
You need to implement a setting for when there is an unsolveable hand or just dont have them.. We can do most in under 3 minutes and we spent literally a couple hours on one because we were certain this app wasnt stupid enough to deal us hands that cant be solved but we finally googled unsolveable hands and this was one of them. Fix this.
Ads are annoying and we find the new face cards distracting.
This game is great but there one thing missing ,ICloud sync so that we can continue playing a game we started from another device instead of starting from scratch on a device while already having a score of 80,000 points on another. Allow creating an account and syncing a game to iCloud so we can do just that without starting from scratch each time.
This game can be very challenging. Never giving up is tough but rewarding when it finally works.
This is the only version of this game that we've found that gives you a kind of limited autoplay, where, once you have cards stacked in four columns, then you can run the autoplay. We don't like the game making moves any other time. We love this game.
Just bad to have to sit thru game promotions that you cant exit until you wait about 2 mins.
There is an ad in between every game and they are extremely long.
The ads are getting worse. Theres no indicator to close the ads or how long you need to wait. Then it always phantom clicks into opening the App Store. Its approaching annoying enough to uninstall.
And now it wont let us submit. Ive been working on this review for 15 minutes.
We're deleting your app. When we open it, it STARTS with an ad. Bad choice on your part. Pure greed.
Ive been playing this game for eons. Always works.
Unplayable! There is an ad before each game, but it just gets stuck, so you cant play. Garbage.
This is really an enjoyable game, at 88 we like a challenge, but not one that is impossible. Im persistent and we like that we can redo the same game if struggling! Try it.
Our husband introduced us to this free cell 15 years ago! Its quick and fun and has ease annoying ads.
So relaxing and yet keeps your brain clicking.
We have played this version many many times on our iPad. We have tested a theory that shows that if Im doing well against the clock the app literally stops us from entering a correct number. At first we thought it was just us. But we have carefully watched our selections. We chose easy and on every occasion where we could beat the clock, the app stalls and we literally cannot fill a particular space for a few seconds. Then ouila! We can make an entry. At the end we never beat the clock. We were frustrated for a while until we realized what a great piece of coding. Our hat is off to the developer(s). Rather than hating the game, Ive grown very fond of it.
