Ratings and reviews

It's got Sigmar's Garden which I love (and is the only thing I care about), but I really wish it was retooled for phones even just a little bit. There's a whole unused panel of the UI because it's part of the original game's interface and the rest of the screen gets cramped. I wish I could play it in portrait mode too.

This is a pretty direct port of the Zachtronics solitaire collection from PC. Lovely variations, beautifully stylized, and uniquely hard - you won't find undo*, or a no more moves indicator. Only a win counter and a rule book. All of the variations are very fun and stylized. -1 star because there is no GUI scaling or other phone related improvements to help avoid misclicks. It is also looks like it is locked to 16:9. But probably the best solitaire collection you'll find on mobile.

The unique takes on solitaire are nice but this app is very bare bones and not at all utilized for phones. The font is extremely small and next to impossible to read which is a pretty big deal when you're playing something with unique rules. As for stat tracking, each game counts the # of wins but that's it. That doesn't really take away from the enjoyment of the game, but again very basic. Some user friendly improvements would go a long way but as is, its obvious that it wasn't meant for phones
