Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ads should always be auto muted.
Fun to do with 3 card move limit.
Such an amazing strategy gameI love this game really makes you think.
The game is fine but we had to delete it because there were pornographic ads at the top of the screen that dont go away. They just rotate with other ads. We think it was click bait. Disgusting. Do the developers not have a say in what ads show up? Please keep this game family friendly.
Really cool game if you like Solitaire! We really like the design of this one, simple and classic.
Beloved solo card game just like playing on the computer such nostalgia.
Its very easy to pick up and play. The hint feature is really nice for someone who is still learning the rules. Just plain, simple card game fun.
We like the help feature. It teaches you some moves you just dont see. Makes it less frustrating for a retired guy.
We love this game! Note to player: we cant say this works every time, but before you give up, keep back playing your last cards played! You may be surprised.
A simple and fun free cell game. Ads present but not intrusive.
Its been a while since we have played FreeCell but we will get back on track soon. Its truly a fun and challenging game.
Thank you Staple Games! Your commitment to donate one dollar per download and YOUR FOLLOW through is RARE these days in a company! We have enjoyed FreeCell since it was on Windows desktop computers in the early 90s- we APPRECIATE the classic style of this game.
We understand why a free game would need revenue, but the ads are out of control. We tried to play today and we got an ad after opening the game. We pressed start new game and got another ad, then when that was over a new game still didnt start, we press it again and got another ad! 3 ads and no game! Ive been playing this game for years. Its too much.
A tutorial would be nice. We had to teach ourselves and we still dont quite understand how to play.
It lets you determine which card goes where.
Our favorite FreeCell game has been discontinued. The app they want us to upgrade to is a solitaire game. Obviously they dont know the difference between FreeCell and solitaire. No thank you, very happy to find this app.
We were happy to find a place to play free cell for free. We personally dont like the time feature. We play while eating dinner and waste time with cutting up food and taking pills. We place a piece of paper over the timer.
We recently found this game . Had never played it before. Its nice to have a game that requires strategy and concentration. Bravo.
Free (no annoying ads) just free fun.
Our first game – So far so good.
Fun game. Would be helpful to have a hint option.
We enjoyed playing the FreeCell game and we WON.
II like this gme because it makes us think and plan ahead.
It does Free Cell. No ads. Its free. Works for us.
Well designed, keeps you in the game.
The old app we used started ad-free but then forced you to watch an add to start a new game unless you pay a subscription every month. This app was the first we used afterward and its been a wonderful experience! No ads and the UI is great.
Easy challenges with lots of options.
Mobility ware forces us to turn off our VPN.
We love the game. Would it be possible to show the game number and its game difficulty rating? We would like to ignore easy games. We would also like to replay difficult games.
We love playing the games because it keeps our mind active.
Its a free game, so Im not going to complain about the ads before and after each game. Im not even complaining about the banner ads at the top and bottom. However, since the last update, full page ads cover the screen in the middle of a game and wont go away. It makes it impossible to play. Fix this and Ill give you 5 stars. * Thank you for removing the in game ads. Wish there was a record reset option.
It is great without ads wnen the ads start rate drops to zero.
Good app- just wish it would auto complete.
Love FreeCell but it takes up lots of space in storage on our iPhone.
We truly enjoy Free cell and have often played it multiple times day and night. However, we really miss the older versions, we find the newer versions more difficult and less enjoyable. We continue to hope you return to a version that challenges us to think without adding frustrations to distract from legitimate challenges.
This would be the best FreeCell app on iOS if there were an option to remove ads. We would gladly pay a one time $5 fee to get rid of them.
We used to love this game. Rarely did it have a commercial. Now, you get one in between every game and if you see it is impossible to win and want to start a new game you have to watch more commercials. For a basic game it is not worth the commercials, besides the ones that are always running along the top of the game.
Same old selling selling selling Bynum more apps claiming to be free. Not so not so.
When we first started playing this game, primarily Freecell, the adds werent bad. But that has changed. Adds are now full screen, too long, annoying, and in most instances the sound cannot be disabled completely. Also, quite often, the add locks up the iPhone where you either have to turn the phone off or even sometimes perform a restart. However, you can always pay a monthly payment for no adds.
Really enjoyed the game until the first political ad appeared. So long.
The rules for moving cards are nonsense and never explained.
We love the game. We want to be able to see if we can solve every puzzle though. Unfortunately, sometimes when we choose to restart the game and we dont touch new, we touch replay, it will give us a completely different game layout. Thats not replay. We will be looking for a different app that allows us to replay the same game board unless this is fixed quickly. To those who gave a bad review because the game would only let them move a limited number of cards: That is one of the rules of the game. You are limited by the number of free cells. Hence the name, Freecell. Please learn the game rules before leaving negative reviews.
We like the android phone version of this game so much better. The iPad version is not soft on the eyes, the ad is too distracting. We tried to play it because we like all the extras but the interface was a big turnoff. Please make more like classic FreeCell and tone down the colors.
First, its not from Mobilityware, second, it has too many issues. 1. Not easier to read 2. No FreeCell choice, aces always top left 3. No hint button 4. Background not changeable 5. No useable customization. Stop animation, sounds, auto-move..thats about it.
We loved this app until they upgraded. Now its very confusing.it used to be our favorite game. No more. Please let us go back to the previous version.
Bad app hard to see and it tires eyes. Horrible design.
Misunderstood that it wasnt an update but new game. Hate the numbers on the cards. Hard to tell what they are. We are trying to uninstall it. Want a refund if we were charged for it.
Dont trust this game – came on our game as a upgrade only giving 5 stars so people will see our review.
For the app Doctor Care! Or some such. Now we dont want to play this game anymore for fear of having to see it again.
We love this game, but since the last update with the bug fixes our game constantly freezes. Thankfully, even though we cant play – we cant watch the banner ads at the top of the screen, because they dont freeze. Its so frustrating that Ive stopped playing – please fix.
