Community Insight:
We recommend change the Lefty from Off or On to L or R. That way L is on the left and R on the right. It will make it easier to switch between each.
MY old iPad… YOUR new version… There are BUGS– must shutdown & restart every time. Please fix.
We congratulate you for your great update, good job. However, now the app does not work well after the update. We enter a game and when we want to go "backwards" it hangs up. It does not move anything, neither up or down nor for one side or the other. We liked the previous version better. They should look at all the flaws before launching an update.
We like it. More visual choice of color, texture, scales, will read quicker for some. Edge-awareness pops acquisition rates. Like it.
Well designed. Minimalist. Does everything that the developer said it would do. + more. For us we like looking at an old game in a new way. Playing it is familiar and very new at the same time. It is challenging in a way we like.
We like how simple and BS free this version is. Beautiful and clean looking. Far superior version of Solitaire, even with bugs. However, we have a few recurring issues that are making our gameplay frustrating. If these bugs can be corrected, we will amend this review. First, when playing simple klondike, we would work through the draw deck and (seemingly) on the last card in the deck, the little plus sign would grey out and become an x. When this happens, we cannot draw new cards and it will not restack the draw deck. Nothing could change it back to a + sign. We had to close the app and restart to continue playing. This happened often and with no discernible pattern. -1 star there. Next, we had an agonizingly frustrating experience trying to return to the menu. Again, closing and reopening the app did the trick. After a few days playing, we figured out that there IS a swipe right mechanic to return to the menu. But it worked almost never. Seriously, many many failed swipes until it finally worked for whatever reason. -1 star. The last point isn't bad enough to lose a star, but we just have to say we learned the controls in the app as well as game rules largely by trial and error. Man, we're familiar with the games, but we don't have free cell rules memorized by heart. We would love to see a list of controls and game rules somewhere in the menu to avoid confusion like ours for others. Overall, we really like this app, especially compared to the other versions of Solitaire on the app store. We had to share our experiences, in the hope of making a great app even better. We only meant to offer constructive observations, not to nit pick.
Nice visual style. Please add more color customization options and some minimal sound effects.
-im ok with no undo button (can't cheat :) -just learned about shake it for new game :) -took some getting used to with the new graphics, but now we can't play as fast on the desktop with "cards" :(…. Need online version for safari or firefox :) and ability to sign in across devices – brilliant fresh design, great movement during game.
Beautiful design but needs some refinement like the option to tap instead of just drag the cards to their place. Also needs an undo button in case you make a mistake when you are playing casually. Some sort of "fireworks" when you win would also be a nice touch.
The app is really nicely designed. We really like the little details in animation. Yes there is room to grow, but as is, we are addicted. Please keep up the good work.
Great, fresh appearance. Only lacking ability to play in landscape mode.
This app is very nice. The only solitaire app to match iOS 7 too which is why we bought it. However, It would be great if there was an option to have cards instead of just the suit and numbers because it can get cluttered sometimes.
There are a few bugs such as when we select New Game after we win, there is a glitch and there is also a glitch with the score keeping. Other than that, we love it.
We love how it looks but there is no – Undo – restart – reshuffle Nothing like that please update it please.
