⋆Solitaire: Classic Card Games 17+

Everything you want nothing you don't want

Great game. I love that it's like a deck of cards. It's not made so you win or lose. It's just random. you can go back if you make a mistake or even get help. It's your choice. Yes, they have ads to pay the bills and possibly make money. The ads are seldom intrusive, very seldom do they cause a problem. When that happens it's a one-time thing. Overall incredible game. Thank you very much for a game that simulates real cards. I tried several before I found this game.
Update: after the recent upgrade at first glance I was disappointed because cards looked out of preoperative. This was because of my bad eyesight, I had the setting in the game options wrong for the new update. One I changed the setting, everything is great. The graphics in the new update are wonderfully sharp and crisp. Unlike lots of games where the update changes the game mechanics. As far as I can tell they left what worked alone, and instead took advantage of the powerful new chips to make the game look and feel even more like a deck of cards. The great thing is that the app does not get in the way of the experience instead just like a true deck of cards it is just a means to an end.

What did you do!

My app freezes and I get black screen and need to turn it off to continue playing. Your upgrade is horrendous!!
Thank your for your response. I still have problems, not as frequently but still there. When I win or cannot and try to start a new game the ad attempts to load and then I get a black screen with a tiny symbol in the lower left corner. At that point I could wait and wait but nothing will change and need to close and shut the app down before I can continue to play. I hope this helps more than my first “rant”. RJ
Update #2, I realized this morning that several of my apps are having issues “opening “ and that this started after my last Apple update of 13.3 something. I will also contact and rant at them. This morning absolutely no ads have shown on my Solitaire app?? Thank you for your interest in my issue. Ramona
Many apologies and Mea Culpa....it turns out that my last Apple update corrupted as it downloaded and caused all the issues. I worked through Apple support and updated through my PC and now all is working beautifully. Please accept my profound apologies, I love your Solitaire program. Ramona

If you haven’t updated in the last 5 months - DON’T!

This used to be our go-to Solitaire game - it was fast, free, and wasn’t saddled with a bunch of unnecessary animations and time-wasters that exist now in the most recent version. At some point in the past 6 months or so, the card dealing animations became rather ‘jerky’ at times. I could live with the visual ticks, because the rest of things were working OK… you could start a new game, and if you didn’t like what you were dealt, you could get another new game instantly. That is no longer the case, unfortunately. During one of the more recent ‘bug fixes and enhancements’ misnomers, a new game mode was introduced, and along with it came A 15-20 SECOND DELAY in the form of 4 suits, animated over some cutsie sayings, like “Hiding Aces…” and other similarly unneeded attempts at… IDK what. Note that the delay has been introduced for each of the game modes where you may request a new game. This drops my rating from 5 to 3 stars.

Update: August 2024

They did allow a brief return to Landscape mode on iPhone, but that’s been 86’d in the past few months. Also the animated delay in dealing a new hand disappeared for a while. Unfortunately, it also has returned. Recommendation: if you like the way it’s working for you, NEVER update it.
