Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The game is great very simple, we wish the cards are more distinguishable, and there is a minor pay wall but it is 99 cents a year which we can live with, other than that, pretty great.
Unlike others, this one let's you start a new game or restart the one you're playing.
This is a wonderful, simple version of the classic game we all love. However, it isnt without fault. We find it too be difficult, specifically the number of winnable hands. There are simply too few. Solitaire with real cards is much more forgiving at least 30%-40% of the time.
Should not be in the Free list. Only a free trial, then monthly cost.
Dont mind simple format, but no scores (even high ones), no controls for basic functions (e.g., choosing winnable games), slow functions, etc. Not a great choice of all the solitaire games available.
We have played other apps that are challenging but solvable. These are often completely unsolvable.
No ads no scoring.. Just solitaire.
Been playing this for years and noticed that you can no longer update statistics.
No adds, game play is intuitive, fun feature to try and beat a round that you get stuck on by restarting the same draw again.
This solitaire app is so clean and simple. No ads (at least for now), no annoying daily challenge pop-ups. The style and coloring is great too.
Just what the idle doctor ordered it is just right, has all major options, no needless frills nor design and no Advertisements. The App also Fits with the New design motifs that are in line with apple devices.
This game is enjoyable any time of day or night! It keeps us occupied.
Nice, simple, we wish it had an option for winnable games only.
Please add a clock to time the game. Please stack the card piles, this makes it look like the real game.
A must have if you enjoy casual gmaing and solitaire. Plus: No Ads.
No ads. Simple features. No fuss. Worth every penny.
Got so frustrated with ads. So nice to just play! No ADS! Worth it.
A simple, no frills experience that lets you just play solitaire. No ads, no gimmicks.
Runs great on our older iP7 on 15.7.3, the hint button can get into a loop of repeating the same 2 moves. We reset to a new game at that point. Once in a while moving a big stack will hang just before hitting its next spot and we gotta tap the deck or drag the stuck stack a little and let go to correct it. But other than that great little set of extra options under pro mode and runs great and is simple and an bargain at $1. No ads and smooth.
The only thing that would make this a 5 for us is if there was a place to pick a level. We are fairly good at Solitaire, but we are getting a lot of deals that we cannot solve. You start to feel defeated from a game you use for a brain-break. :-).
When we are stuck and hit the ? Button to ask for a hint, the suggested plays are useless. We would like this version more if it would alert us when there are no more possible solutions.
Nice to not have the ads on this app, but hints show possible moves that cant help (moving cards that leave no next move). Rarely win compared to apps with ads (perhaps that may be more accurate to a real deck of cards? Unsure), and cards are very small.
Needs to be at least 50/50 chance to win not 20/80.
Begging for affirmation is unbecoming.
If you are looking for a no frills app that doesn't frustrate you with ads, this is it.
…is troubling and confusing after a lifetime of playing on the conventional arrangement.
Very basic! Very few options, no sound. No sukpport response. We like it simple but this one is way too simple for us…..yet, seldom or never win.
Hate that this version shows three cards every time one flips or uses a flipped card. ONE AT A TIME.
All three of the Simple & Classic solitaire games — Spider, Solitaire, Freecell — are well designed and fun to play. They are not bogged down by silly animations or graphics. They are exactly like playing with a real deck of cards. We really enjoy them, and you will, too.
We really love this game! Its one of our favourite card games anyway, and this app is super user- friendly and fun to play. We also like the updates. We wish you could save games to come back to, but otherwise its a really solid app that we enjoy.
Do not like the auto complete that pops up during play. Please create an option to turn that feature OFF. Thank you.
Not enough new games have learned the ones you have thanks bogey.
To be honest, some of details seem to be missing. In the Spider game, there is no clock or move counter. In all 3 games, the cards are slow to respond and the hints dont show the best moves first. But the bundle was cheap and doesnt have any adds.
We bought this because we hate ads. However. The positioning and spacing of this screen is so uncomfortable. Cards are too small and when you switch to horizontal, the spacing is so wide we get eye aches. Please make the cards slightly larger and improve the ergonomics if screen placement. Until that is changed,we would not recommend buying this.
We were in the TestFlight but it recently expired and hasnt been renewed. There were a ton of new great features but now that its expired ive had to revert back to the App Store version, which is 8 months old. Hope it gets the update soon.
Sluggish, weird keyboard response. Hints are not hints. Not a good example of solitaire. Deleted after one play.
This is the most perfect game ever created.
Thanks for the changes. The support link is terrific and the stats accuracy is much improved! Its everything we could ask for in a Solitaire game.
Why, all of a sudden, has the display changed to be smaller and moved toward the center of the screen when the display was so clear during the first couple of games? How can this original display be restored please Duncan? Thanks, Betty.
We wanted an ad free game, and this certainly is one and at a good price, but we dont like the card design nor the board layout. It isnt possible to change anything on the board except 1-card or 3-card draw. At $.99 we guess you get what you pay for.
We would give it a five star rating if it had a few setting options like tap to move the card and 3 card draw.
Bought this for ad free. We had played 5 games after purchase and all ended in deadbeat. The funniest thing was the hint kept suggesting one move back forth. The game obviously lacks of enough functions.
Classic Solitaire without any ability to change the settings. Only single card option and you need to drag or double tap to move cards. There are hint, redo, and undo features. It seemed a bit laggy and the auto-win was very slow. Nice not to have ads though.
