Solitaere

I want to like this app, but I am having issues. First, it is difficult to get cards to move to a stack, even following the instructions given in the game. Cards seem to get stuck in one spot and it is difficult to drag the whole stack over, or even a single card. The directions give several different options to move stacks/cards and I have tried all of them, but none of them work that well for me. Next, I was playing a game and I left the app open in the background mid-game. When I returned to my game, I was presented with a new game and my old game had disappeared. There appears to be no option to pause or save a game. Given these constraints, even though the interface is nice, I may not be playing much unless these issues are resolved. Edit, updated review: I am enjoying this game despite the above-mentioned limitations. I am therefore upgrading my star rating from three to four stars. The dragging of cards is still too fiddly in my opinion, and the game needs a way to pause or save the current game. Please implement, dev. Thank you.

I really enjoy this app's fresh design, the haptic feedback, and minimalistic style. It's just a little buggy- if you share when you win a game, the image that gets shared is backwards. If you use the night theme, the coloring isn't consistent (black on red and white on red) and you get BLANK cards. This continues to happen when you switch back to the day theme. Still cool though. I hope he makes a freecell game.

This game is amazing — the design is beautiful and the haptics and general gameplay mechanics are excellent. My only qualm is the lack of an undo button for moves which don’t reveal new information. If I accidentally tap the stack to flip three more cards for instance, I should be able to undo one time to go back. If I drag a card out of the stack, I should be able to undo directly afterward to put it back. I don’t think an infinite undo or an undo of revealing information is good, but if I moved a card to the wrong place and immediately changed my mind then it would be a great addition if it let me move that card back.

There’s only one bug I have experienced. Sometimes when I “win” a game it doesn’t detect that it’s over. I tried dragging the king cards (the only cards left exposed) around crazily and repeatedly dropping them back on the stacks until finally the auto finish prompt came back up. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. It’s very annoying. I’m playing with the black background in vertical, card play on the left mode, if that helps. Otherwise I love the game! Thanks!

I don’t know if this is me being an idiot, but I’ve found numerous games where I’m absolutely stuck on a move and the app itself doesn’t let me know it’s a frozen game. It’s happened so many times I’m deleting the app, as it’s not worth it when majority of them are frozen. Plus, there’s no way to undo a move, those frozen games count as losses, and it’s fiddly to move the cards around. Sorry, but I’ll pass. It’s impossible for solitaire to be this hard.
