Ratings and reviews

UI update JAN 2026, Freecell game has issue with "undo" function. sometimes cards will go back to where they were, other times they don't and just winds up breaking the game. have to restart that hand. the backend tracking is still keeping track of what cards are where, but that is not in sync with the displayed cards. it gets out of wack and unplayable as the card you see is not the card its tracking so you cant move or stack what clearly would work. if you never "undo" a move. its fine.

Previously 5 stars, new update 1 star. Hate, hate, hate the slow-flip of the cards in Klondike-3 for example and how it shows all cards in a pile with no way to change them back to the previous version. These "updates" made the app unplayable in my opinion. I've been a loyal player for quite a few years. Sadly, not any longer.

Worth the money for sure. I give this four stars because there are some minor things that need to be fixed. For example, in solitaire, I can't move a 4 of hearts from a 5 of spades to a 5 of clubs. Maybe I am doing it wrong. But overall, the app is awesome, has plenty of games and is teaching me new ones!
