3) If you like to play Solitaire City in bed, then you can lock the display to either landscape or portrait, again from the Settings screen.

Recent Updates & Development
Latest Update: 10th August 2024
Recent improvements include:
1) Added two new versions of Demon, called "Superior Canfield" which is easier than Demon in that all the cards are dealt face up to the demon and empty spaces in the tableau are not automatically filled from the Demon.
2) Fixed a bug in Demon where sometimes you could place an Ace on the foundations even though the base card first dealt was different.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love solitaire cities app. It provides a variety of games to choose from and also provides a wide variety of themes to choose from as well as developing your own, which is fairly new and we for one love it! It is a great solitaire game app.
Easy to play, and lots of games.
Been playing for years. Lots of variety and able to compare our scores with others across the world. Highly recommend.
Been playing this for years and years! Best Solitaire around.
We have been playing games in Solitaire City since the 80s, and have to say it is the best. The updates keep coming which makes it better and better. Our favorite is Casket. Please purchase the game. Its very inexpensive and helps the developers to keeping it the best it can be. DEVELOPERS: Thank you for the many years of fun.
Have a great time playing. Love the challenge.
We really enjoy Solitaire City. There are so many games to choose from that you never get bored. We get hooked on one for a while and then we switch to another. Lots of fun, you wont be bored.
The propaganda of other games have much volume and are unpleasant.
Challenging enough, easy enough. Decent game and enjoyable. Better than others out there.
Solitaire City is our go to daily. We can play it even without power or Wi-Fi which happens often in Florida. It keeps our mind fresh. Any downtime this is what Im playing.
Fun easy few adds never overwhelming. Great layout. Appealing scorekeeper. If you are looking for quick mindless stress reliever its worth a try.
Ive enjoyed this same app for years Im pleased with the simplicity.
Ive been playing this game for a couple of months now. There are zero issues with the app. It works as it should, all the time. We love it. The ads are few and far between and short. Not sure how this developer makes money but if you want to actually play solitaire instead of watching ads, download this game.
This game is tons of fun with many options and variations. Our grand kids love playing with us too. They are 2yrs to 11yrs old! It is so refreshing to play a game without having to deal with redundant ads. Thank you.
We have played thousands of games on this app over at least 15 years. We have never tired of it.
Totally addictive and tons of different games. Love this.
This is the best we just love it and have played for a long time.
Peter knows what hes doing and clearly cares about his product.
This app is amazing! It has so many different type of solitaire, and different rules too! Our only suggestion is that it counts how many times that you save a game when it says Its looking bad.
Ive been playing for a long time now. Our favorites are Yukon, Regular solitaire and demon. We dont play demon often though. The other two are our go tos when we want to relax. N L.
Good straight forward solitaire game. Settings allow you to turn off the long winning celebration. Only minor flaw is that some of the commercials are a little long. But for a free game not as bad as other free games.
There needs to be more sound effects and more designs of the playing cards and more background changes. We really like this game. It is super fun. We wish there was more games like that.
Switches to other games many times, even after clicking on the X to exit the ad for the different game.
Greatly enjoy the games and the variety of them, but for the last several months the x to close the ads frequently doesnt work. We have to shut down the app and restart. Otherwise we would rate it 5 stars.
Love this game. Always play it while Im traveling.
Love the game choices, training and ability to change level of difficulty.
Klondike from Solitaire City is the only solitaire game we like to play.
We have been playing this for years. So many game options you cant get bored.
We have been playing this for years and we really like the selection of solitaire games available.
This is the best Solitaire game on the internet but has recently become really difficult to win. We will probably never top our high score which is what we always try to do, but it is still very entertaining.
Excellent ! We dont see new version for what we have rite now so am hanging on with what we have rite now.
Casket is our favorite. The many choices keep us coming back for more.
We think they greatest we play every day.
We like working against the clock.
We are really enjoying this solitaire game. They give option to upload your own photos for background and cards.
We love playing the game. It has your favorites. Klondike, Tripeaks, Pyramid. The only thing we don't like is the bottom row of cards on Tripeaks and Pyramid which we've never seen before. Ads are not real bad. We would also like to tap ALL the cards to play.
March 15, 2024. Another ad that pops up is Crayolas create and play. If you wait for the x to delete the ad, nothing happens and you cant continue playing solitaire for days or until you delete the solitaire app. Dont you have someone tracking your ads to fix this problem? Still have ads that freeze screen April 11 2023 Very sad. One of the ads pops up every two to three days and freezes the screen. We have to delete Solitaire City and reinstall to play. Cant remember the name of the solitaire game but there is a fish in the lower right corner. Cant X out and safari cant open the page. Sad in Delaware Sep. 3rd…if we dont let the ads play out, but get out of the game, the board freezes and we have to delete the entirely. It is certain ads that affect the game and the ability to continue. Hooray! Ad popped up this morning with an escape X to get out of the screen. Thank you, thank you and more thank yous. Happy on Delaware OK, another day is here. Now the game screen freezes before cards are dealt and we cant even pick a game to play. The Apple Store sYs nothing is wrong with this new IPad. Getting frustrated in Delaware. Twice today the screen has frozen and we had to delete and reinstall the game. Husband ready to throw the IPad away. Help! Aug. 15th. Game still freezes and cant be played. We took IPad to Apple Store and the pad is functioning properly. It is freezing on the same screen repeatedly…the screen looks like cards will be dealt, but all squares are blank. Please find something and someway to fix problem. Thanks. Aug. 21st. We have had to delete and reinstall this game 5 times in the last 3 days. We noticed we have an update from Apple we cant get installed and that may be the problem with solitaire. Ill try to get that fixed and see if that keeps the solitaire from freezing up.
Love the app except some of the commercials require you to exit the app to get rid of them.
Great app except for pop up ads that immobilize app.
Time to time game freezes up.now freezing up more often.
Great game but only deals blank cards on chromebook.
Our spouse is in Assisted Living, and we visit almost every day. And after dinner our kitty wants to sit on our lap for a bit. So we use this APP a lot.
We enjoy playing the variety of games on solitaire city. We hope to continue to do so. Thank you.
We enjoy this version of Solitaire.
Love the double Klondike game! Far superior to others out there.
This is great app to pass time or for a quick break! We recently updated and all our scores, etc. Remained intact. We've played countless times and still find it challenging.
Love love love this game! At the moment, however, the ads arent working. Very unusual.
Make it go away so the game can be played.
Casket is our favorite. The many choices keep us coming back for more.
This is a great game for passing time, and the customization options for the cards and background is really great too.
