Solitaire‪∙‬ 4+

One of the oldest apps I own.

I got this app way, way back when I got my first iPad (back when they first made iPads). I have the ad free version. Guess I paid to get rid of ads sometime along the way, but I honestly don’t remember. I play it every day. Simple, no flashy nonsense. Just Solitaire. I have downloaded many, many games over the years (too many to count) and this is one of 3 that I have not deleted.

Unwinable deals that don’t vary

It’s a great basic Solitaire game with an added daily challenge - solve it that day & get a gold star, solve every day & get a gold star for the month. But that’s where the problem is - some days (like Feb 20) are unwinable deals, & it doesn’t matter how times you try, because every time, it deals the same cards, with the same order in the stack, everything identical. It’s an exercise in futility. So you can never, ever earn your star for that month, because you can never solve that one day’s challenge. It doesn’t matter if it’s offline or online - I’ve tried it both ways. And it’s getting really old.
Devs, do you ever read your reviews? I sure wish you’d fix this.

Developer Response ,

This is fixed in version 2.0.5! Now you can choose "Reshuffle" when restarting a Daily Challenge game. In fact, all daily challenge shuffles are winnable, but some may require an unusual sequence of moves to get there. In any case, you can get a new shuffle for any daily challenge game you've started but not finished. Good luck, and thanks again!

Nearly Perfect

Quite good, the game customization is a fun detail and the daily challenges are enjoyable. The ads are very short and don’t pop up after every game which I appreciate greatly. The only thing this game lacks is a reshuffle or replay option for the regular games (not the daily challenges). You can set it up for each new game to always be winnable but often I end up stuck and have to begin a new game. Other than that, I recommend this game strongly!
