Full Deck Solitaire – Card Game Review
Full Deck Solitaire is a Card/Entertainment/Strategy game from GRL Games Inc, first launched in 11th February 2011.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 22,436+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Full Deck Solitaire Stand Out
Designed by a Solitaire loving Mom and Daughter, Full Deck Solitaire is a beautiful card game with an easy to use user interface. Eight four uniquely different variations of Solitaire not seen in many other games keep even the most seasoned guru occupied. Statistics for each game let you know how many hours you have played, games you have won and your highest score for that game. A uniquely smart three level hint system lets you know if there are moves to play and will even shake the cards if you can’t quite see that elusive move. Smart badges on decks show you how many cards are left to be dealt from that deck. This latest update adds Daily Challenges, three guaranteed solvable games of solitaire for you to bend your mind over. Can you get all nine stars every day?

Community Insight:
5 Aug 2020. Enjoyed this app right up to a recent update. Now it will not work unless we remove screen restrictions, which we use to prevent grandchildren from accessing things they shouldnt. Choose another solitaire app.
Ive had the paid version of this app for a few year and we love it. The new animation in the latest update gives us a headache. We thought we would just get used to it, but we cannot play more than a couple of hands before we start feeling a little bit nauseated. Is there a way to go back to the previous animation.
We love solitaire games, but with this game we have learned so many new games! Dry addictive and hard to stop playing. We have all our favorites hearted and just go down the list playing.
The ads arent bad except for the Quicken loan ads. Once this ad pops up we have to leave the game as there is no way to get rid of it. Please fix this. Thank you. Linda.
Hello! Our name is Gabrielle Levran. We love this game even though Im an eight year old. We think that you could make it more exciting, and fun. We think that you should make rewards and everyone could choose their own animal to play with!!! Thank you, Gabrielle Levran.
Cant stop once you start playing.
Reinstalled this game on new iPad after our old one went belly up. We bought the game originally so we could play without ads. The reinstalled game had ads so we hit restore purchases under options. That worked , but then it keep stalling. We tried several times to delete the game and download it again, but game still crashed. Finally we decided to buy the game again, but even after the purchase, the game crashed. We have played FullDeck Solitaire for years and it has been a great way to exercise our mind, so Im disappointed that it no longer seems to work.
Whats the point of this game if it is practically impossible to get ahead in the score.
This is a well organized solitaire game, but we are really fed up with having to wait through as much as 50 seconds of ads for other games before we can start a new game. We will be checking out other apps to get away from this.
We paid $3.99 to get the add free version, and guess what? Still get all the ads! Banner adds, full screen ads between games. Dont waste your money unless they fix this.
The deals are not random. They are designed to cause a high percent of loss.
The hint function no longer works and the ability to go back is also gone! Our favorite solitaire game is ruined! Thanks for fixing so quickly.
Great. Need more info on what constitutes scores, what highest possible score would be, and what diminishes scores.
So many options, well laid out. Love the daily challenges! (Or you can ignore them…) There are basic, easy games and ones that will kick your butt. Ive never regretted paying for the ad-free version, not ever.
We have no complaints! Great game, lots of options.
Is an entertaining game and we like the variety of game you can play. We like the different background that you can change with the seasons.
Ive loved full deck solitaire for years! Great fun.
Easy, great graphics, well design.
WOW!! We like the holiday themes and the snow falling when you play. Graphics are great as is the game play. A BIG THANKS to the developer.
This was our tenth attempt to reload this game and like freaking clockwork the ads freeze the game! How about fixing this so that it doesnt cause u to lose clients.
Good game. Love osmosis. Some animation bugs.
Hey, thanks for the update! Now the game crashes on opening.
You need to clean up your advertising content, there is a casino slots ad that is nearly pornographic. We have children in the house and these disgusting ads pop up unexpectedly. If you dont clean up your content Im going to remove your app. And Im giving your app a low rating until then.
This apps paid remove ads feature DOES NOT work. They simply take your $3.99 and continue to serve ads through the app. Also, its buggy because Apple charged us, but does not list Full Deck Solitaire in the purchases section of Apples Report a Problem website. So, basically we gave Apple and this developer $3.99 for a huge pain in the neck. We are still waiting a week later for the developer to even acknowledge our attempts to contact them. Hopefully this review will come to someones attention. BUYER BEWARE.
Today, when we started to play, we noticed all our money, some $58K, had disappeared. Where did it go? This is not cool.
Fun to play, but does freeze up periodically.
Nice game. Too many interruptions from ads.
Que disminuyan el tamao de las cartas para el iPhone 11PRO MAX.
Loved this app until iOS 13. It needs downsizing now. Cant see all the cards now.
Deck is on the wrong side for righthanded person.
We love this game . Relaxing for us.
We hate to give a game Ive been playing so long a bad review but the new view changed the size of the cards (bigger) to where you cant see the cards in a stack to know if you can move it to another one n Klondike. Its totally unplayable now.
We love the variety of games offered as well as options for backgrounds and cards.
It is designed visually so that you can see everything easily, it plays easily, and we do not see anything wrong with it at all.
If we remember correctly we paid dollars for this game a few years ago and since we have reinstalled it we find there are commercials, ads, after each game. We need help with this Ap.
Love this game. Play it every single day.
Ad for Episode is trashy and now we cant let kids play.
We used to love the daily challenges. Why did you stop them.
This would be a lot better if there no advertising.
We play the free version, and like the games. We expect ads, but lately some are so adult that you should advertise this as an adult only game. Definitely not family friendly, as we would expect a simple game of solitaire to be.
We only play Forty Thieves but this is the best implementation that Ive found.
Ive played this game for a couple years now. Its relaxing in the evening before we go to bed, and we are getting better and better at winning.
One of our favorite games. Lots of different games to choose from.
Like the large cards, they are bigger than others It gives you a score but not a time line Does not show you your high score to beat so you have to try and remember it.
Every new device gets this app loaded. The only solitaire app with all the variations we love to play.
We would like an option to turn off the cumulative scoring, we play for fun, and find it annoying.we we.
In the last week, we can play about 4 or 5 games and the screen freezes. We have to exit out, close the game and try again. We love the game but am getting frustrated. Ive been playing for years.
Whenever we play fan. We cannot access the bottom rows.
We enjoy this app. The only problem we have is, playing Russian Solitaire, it misses lots of hints.
Ive played this game for a long time. Ive dealt with the ads coming up after every game. But we draw the line at inescapable ads that causes us to have to close out of the game to get rid of it. Ours is some kindle ad. Please fix or Ill have to move on. This is very disappointing.
