Like its footwear namesake — Flipflop Solitaire is unrestrictive, creating a new game for fans of spider, klondike and other traditional Solitaires.
In Flipflop you can stack down, up, or even both ways on a single stack!
Need to stack an 8 on a 7, or a club on a spade? No problem!
- but -
Be careful, you can only move a stack of a single suit!
It's fun and freeing, but still challenging and captivating.
It's Flipflops for your brain.

------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER
Flipflop Solitaire is sort of a sequel to Sage Solitaire in the sense that it's my second crack at the design problem of making a Solitaire game that feels like it was designed for your phone and not for a table.
To be honest this is how I wish everyone approached sequels. Usually a sequel takes the solution to a problem and duplicates it. This is why our expectations of game sequels are often more-of-the-same-but-better. I'd rather see more sequels that brought a renewed level of surprise and novelty, and I'm hoping that's what you find in Flipflop Solitaire.
While Sage was all about trying to capture the feeling of a tight, easy to play, tough to win, zen solitaire game, Flipflop is about knots.
In a typical Solitaire game, like Klondike, you're taking a knot of cards and untying it into sequences. Then you reverse those sequences into clean ordered stacks.
In Flipflop you take your knot of cards and tie it into other, hopefully better knots. Then you untie those knots into the final ordered stacks. Having so much control over the way your intermediary knots are constructed led to a lot more depth than I expected.
I hope you enjoy this game as much as I've enjoyed discovering it.

Crashes
Brneyes1954
I like the game concept but it crashes every time I play. Cards also start getting jerky as the hand progresses. Stats are wrong as it counts a crashed game as a loss. I deleted it.
Fun challenge, but flawed.

Enjoyable game with a neat concept. Solving the puzzles is challenging but satisfying. It plays very smoothly on my iPad Air 2. The biggest problem is that occasionally it won’t let me draw new cards from the pile and I have no idea why. When this happens, the only thing to do is forfeit, further ruining my stats.
Really Buggy

Great concept and fun to play, but way too many bugs. Undo feature seems to mess game up. Cards won't turn over, unable to deal more cards, etc. Ended up deleting the app.
Please make it stop crashing!!!

This is my new go to stress relief app. Love everything about it, don't even mind the ads, just PLEASE make it stop crashing in the middle of games, and almost always when I'm about to win! Probably has something to do moving large stacks of cards. Crash fix would change my rating from 4 to 5
Love the game but still a few bugs

I love the game it’s so addicting and I think I like it more than normal solitaire! But there are still some bugs when trying to undo too fast when the deck gets shuffled out sometimes the cards don’t flip over or only go out to a few columns instead of all of them. Or when undoing moves all the moves get stacked into one column. Also could there be a way in settings to turn off automatically tapping cards to the stockpile? I know it’s easiest to just tap a card there but if I am trying to be quick and reverse a stack into a blank column sometimes cards get put into the stockpile and then I can’t continue on stacking and now I am stuck with no moves or have to ruin my undo-less game :'(
Fun like all their other games

It’s a great, well polished game that doesn’t overwhelm you with ads either. Please keep making original takes on games like these!
Amazing game

I love this card game! It is a lot of fun and a fantastic game to play to pass the time. I personally have not experienced any bugs or glitches. I am also I HUGE fan of this simplistic art style.
