The Accessible Solitaire help content has recently moved, and so Accessible Solitaire Version 5.1 references the new location of the help content. This help content can be updated based on feedback from players of the various games in the app. Please note that with the exception of improving the robustness of the existing games in the app, there will be no further work on the Accessible Solitaire app. More details on this can be found at https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=122095809705366092&id=61590982766655.

Accessible Solitaire Version 5.0 contains a new “Undo” feature, along with “Restart this game”, and “Start new game” actions. All of these changes were made following suggestions from players. Also, all the optional buttons which can be shown on the main page of the app, are now shown in a line at the top of the app. The optional buttons are: “Start new game”, “Undo”, “Pause/Resume”, and the three screen reader buttons: “Game state”, “Available moves”, and “Open cards”. For more details on the Undo feature, please visit https://accessiblesolitaire.com/2026/06/12/undo-in-accessible-solitaire-version-5-0.

Version 4.11 expands the list of devices known to the app, in response to a click of the "Your device" item in the app menu. If you want to report unexpected behavior in the app, please include the details shown in the "Your device" pop-up. Also, if you wouldn't mind, please include the Model Name and OS Version shown in your device's Settings-General-About page.

Version 4.10 includes a new Menu item called "Your device". When you click this, a popup appears showing the model and other details of the device which is running the Accessible Solitaire app. These details will help if you contact me because the app's not behaving as expected. For example, I was recently contacted by a player who let me know that the app was crashing every time a game of Royal Parade solitaire was restarted. The player's device is an iPhone 12, so I've adjusted the app when the Royal Parade solitaire game is restarted on an iPhone 12 in order to avoid this crash. Please note also that the press-and-hold action on cards to have large pop-ups of the card appear, has been proving unreliable and interfering with playing the game. So I've temporarily removed the press-and-hold feature from the app until it can be made more reliable.

Version 4.9 includes improvements to the initial layout of the cards in a number of the solitaire games in the app. To learn more about the app, please visit https://accessiblesolitaire.com

Version 4.8 includes more improvements to the screen reader announcements for the game state and available moves in the Grandfather's Clock game. For more details on the Grandfather's Clock game, please visit https://accessiblesolitaire.com/2026/03/25/accessible-grandfathers-clock-solitaire.

Version 4.7 improves the screen reader announcements for the game state and available moves in the Grandfather's Clock game. For more details on the Grandfather's Clock game, please visit https://accessiblesolitaire.com/2026/03/25/accessible-grandfathers-clock-solitaire.

Accessible Solitaire Version 4.6 includes a new game called Grandfather's Clock solitaire. For details on how to play Grandfather's Clock solitaire, please visit https://accessiblesolitaire.com/2026/03/25/accessible-grandfathers-clock-solitaire. Also please note a change in the rules of the existing Baker's Dozen game. Previously in that game, dealt cards could not be moved from a dealt card pile to an empty dealt card pile. Player feedback suggested that the game was very rarely winnable with that rule, so this has been changed so that if a player wants to move a dealt card to an empty dealt card pile, they can do that. So the game is now more likely to be won, and more fun to play.

Version 4.5 updates the auto-complete feature for the Klondike game, where under certain circumstances the game will auto-complete and does not require you to move all the face-up dealt cards up to the target card piles. The latest game to be added to app is the Royal Parade solitaire game. For details on this game, and the other five solitaire games included in the app, please visit https://accessiblesolitaire.com.

Version 4.4 extends support for the auto-complete feature in the Klondike game. Previously the game would only auto-complete if cards are being turned up one at a time. Now the game can also auto-complete when three cards are turned up at a time, so long as there are no more remaining cards to be dealt out to the dealt card piles. So in that case a game might auto-complete following a face-down dealt card being turned up, or all the dealt cards are already turned up and the last remaining card is moved from the upturned card pile to a dealt card pile.

Accessible Solitaire Version 4.3 improves the screen reader experience in the new Royal Parade solitaire game. For details on how to play this game, please visit https://accessiblesolitaire.com/2026/03/04/accessible-royal-parade-solitaire.

Accessible Solitaire Version 4.2 adds a new solitaire game called Royal Parade, in addition to the existing games called Klondike, Spider, Baker's Dozen, Pyramid and Tri Peaks solitaire. For details on how to play Royal Parade solitaire, please visit https://accessiblesolitaire.com/2026/03/04/accessible-royal-parade-solitaire. If you have suggestions on how any of the games in the app can be made more accessible or more enjoyable, please do let me know.

Accessible Solitaire Version 4.1 adds support for the "Merge face-down cards" setting to the Spider Solitaire game. This features behaves the same in both the Spider Solitaire and Klondike Solitaire games, and when turned on, means that fewer swipes are required to navigate a screen reader through all the dealt card piles. For more information on the Spider Solitaire game, please visit: https://accessiblesolitaire.com/2026/02/16/accessible-spider-solitaire. Please note that in Version 4.1, the feature to customise the colours of the four card suits has been removed from the app. That feature was proving unreliable on some devices, and its removal increases the app's stability. If you were using this feature and would like it reinstated, please contact me.

Accessible Solitaire Version 4.0 includes a new game called Spider Solitaire. For details on how to play this game with the iOS VoiceOver screen reader, the iOS Voice Control speech feature, or the iOS Switch Control switch device feature, please visit https://accessiblesolitaire.com/2026/02/16/accessible-spider-solitaire. If you have suggestions on how the Spider Solitaire game can be made more accessible and more fun for you, please do let me know.

Accessible Solitaire Version 3.16 contains two updates based on player feedback. The first of those updates means that a click on the Help item in the app menu links to content specific to the solitaire game currently being played. For all posts relating to the app, please visit AccessibleSolitaire.com. The second update is a new setting to optionally show a Restart Game button beneath the App Menu button near the top left corner of the app. Clicking this button has the same effect as clicking the Restart Game item in the App Menu, but requires fewer steps to access it. Please note that recent versions of the Accessible Solitaire app have had changes made relating to loading up a previous game session when the app is started or when moving between games, and when the cards are dealt when a game is restarted. Currently the app does need some improvements in this area, so thanks for your patience while I continue to work on that. For example, the games can take a few seconds to start, and players should wait for the game to be ready. Also, in rare cases a dealt card pile might not appear at all or a card in the pile might visually appear empty. Restarting the app should fix those issues until I've had an opportunity to make the app more robust.

Accessible Solitaire Version 3.15 expands the behaviour of the screen reader button which announces open cards. Previously this button would announce open cards in the Tri Peaks, Pyramid, and Baker's Dozen games. Now, in addition to those, it announces the topmost cards in the dealt card piles in the Klondike game. Please note that in the Klondike game the topmost card in each dealt card pile is not the only card that can be selected, but based on player feedback, it would be helpful for a screen reader to announce all the topmost cards in the Klondike game. Also note that if a dealt card pile is not included in the announcement, then it is empty. Version 3.5 also improves the visual layout of the cards in the games. There is now a slight gap between the dealt cards and the target card piles regardless of the game being played and the orientation of the device. Version 3.5 has had some changes made relating to loading up a previous game session when the app is started or when moving between games, and when the cards are dealt when a game is restarted. Currently the app does need some improvements in this area, so thanks for your patience while I continue to work on that. For example, the games can take a few seconds to start, and players should wait for the game to be ready. Also, in rare cases a dealt card pile might not appear at all or a card in the pile might visually appear empty. Restarting the app should fix those issues until I've had an opportunity to make the app more robust.

Accessible Solitaire Version 3.14 contains a new game called Baker's Dozen Solitaire, in addition to the existing games of Tri Peaks, Pyramid, and Klondike solitaire. This new game has been added in response to a request from a player. For more information on the Baker's Dozen game, please visit: https://accessiblesolitaire.com/2026/02/01/accessible-bakers-dozen-solitaire.

Version 3.13 includes a new feature to pause and resume in-progress games. To learn more about this feature, please visit: https://accessiblesolitaire.com/2026/01/27/pause-resume-games-in-the-accessible-solitaire-app

Accessible Solitaire Version 3.12 includes support for switching between in-progress games of Klondike solitaire, Pyramid solitaire, and Tri Peaks solitaire, and later returning to each game to continue playing the in-progress games.

Accessible Solitaire Version 3.11 includes a new game called Tri Peaks solitaire, in addition to the Klondike solitaire and Pyramid solitaire games that are already available in the app. Tri Peaks solitaire can be played using a screen reader, and on some devices, played using speech or a switch device. For more information about the new Tri Peaks solitaire game, please visit https://accessiblesolitaire.com/2026/01/21/accessible-tri-peaks-solitaire.

Accessible Solitaire Version 3.10 includes a new feature requested by players, to optionally auto-complete the Klondike Solitaire game. This option is turned off by default, and can be turned on at the app's Setting page. The option only has an effect when the setting for how many cards should be turned up when the Next Card button is clicked, is set to turn up one card at a time. When the auto-complete setting is on, once the last face-down card in the dealt card piles is turned up, the game is considered complete, regardless of how many cards are left in the remaining cards pile or the upturned cards pile. So once the last face-down card is turned up, all cards instantly move to the four target cards piles, and the "Congratulations" message appears saying that the game was auto-completed, and the time it took to win the game. If you have any more suggestions on how the game can be made more accessible and enjoyable, please do let me know.

Accessible Solitaire Version 3.7 shows the time taken to win the game for both Klondike Solitaire and Pyramid Solitaire. It also improves the reliability of the app on some devices.

Version 3.6 includes a new button in the set of Screen Reader Buttons that can be shown when playing the Pyramid Solitaire game. The new button is called "Open Cards", and when clicked, VoiceOver will announce the names of all the open cards in the pyramid of cards. The announcement begins by announcing the open cards starting with Row 7, and moving up the pyramid through the other rows. Please note that the set of Screen Reader Buttons has been moved to the right of the Menu button near the top left of the app, rather than beneath the Menu button.

Version 3.5 includes improvements to the "time spent playing game" message when a game of Pyramid Solitaire is won.

Version 3.4 adds support for the various sounds available in the Settings page when playing the Pyramid Solitaire game. For example, a sound can be played whenever an attempt to discard a card from the pyramid has succeeded.
