Pretty Good Solitaire Reviews

Simply the best...bar none!

Have enjoyed playing the PC version for many years. Now it is on the iPad - fantastic! Mr. Warfield has come through again with an outstanding piece of software! Thanks, Tom.

But 5 stars because 4.5 isn't available. As a long time fan of both their Mac and PC versions, I've been waiting for an iPad version for years. This set is expensive, but it has the biggest selection of games around. Even in 4 deck games, the screen is perfectly clear and readable and never looks cluttered. If you believe that cheating or restarting in solitaire is ok, their snapshot button is essential. I really missed it with the other iPad solitaire games I've played. "Almost" perfect because (maybe in the next version?) 1. The game is set up for people who are left handed. It needs a right handed option, so I can turn the cards without covering the screen with my arm. 2. It has a favorites list, but those aren't my favorites. There's no way to edit it to add the ones I want and delete the others. 3. Please bring back Minerva and it's variations.

Thank You

Love, love, love if. If it is possible, can you add "Three Up " on the next upgrade? It would be fun to play that when I am away from my desk top. Until then< I will try to master the ones that are available. By the way, are all the games winnable? Be Good to Yourselves. Grammafe

Having been with this series since almost the beginning, and anxiously awaiting the iPad version, I am extremely disappointed with the Auto function. You cannot disable it in options, it makes a first move when you touch the option Button on the game menu and often decides on its own to do a quick start move when you only want to select one card. I hope this is fixed in an update soon.

No Hint makes it harder to learn new games

I'm disappointed there is no Hint. Having a Hint is very useful when you're first learning a game. So now I've got a big bunch of hard-to-learn games. You also don't seem to be able to choose your background. You can choose card faces and backs, but not the background. You have to settle for what the game chooses for you. With some games, its selection was too bright. Too bad it was too bright for one of the types of solitaire I like because it was too hard on my eyes to play it. There's a nice dark green rug background on the screen where you select your game, but no way to choose that as a default. This is the first solitaire game I've tried where you can't choose your background. There are options to turn "Toolbar Icons" and "Transparent Toolbar" on and off, but I have yet to see them do anything. There is also a problem with the autoplay button, which seems to work backwards. You think you're turning it off, but you're turning it on. Maybe it works backwards in some games. On the positive side, there are certainly a lot of solitaire games to choose from. But if you're looking for a particular favorite, you may find a variation that's close but not quite what you want. It suggests "games like this" that you can look at if you have a favorite and are looking for similar games, but I didn't always see much similarity. There was once a solitaire game called "Grandfather" that was included on a computer with Linux installed. It was actually Russian Solitaire -- only it allowed 2 redeals. It left the aces and whatever cards you had in the foundations, and would redeal the tableau. As a result, you were able to win sometimes -- not like regular Russian Solitaire where you only win once in a blue moon. I've never found that variation anywhere but Linux, where it's part of the kpatience set. I'm still hoping it's one of the over 500 games included with this set, but I haven't found it yet.

Excellent

Well another great card app by Goodsol!! So nice to see this for the IPAD. Thanks Thomas as you are so good in making all the card apps. I have all of them on my Mac and now the IPAD. Well worth the price for all the card games in this app.

I have been a fan of Goodsol Dev / Pretty Good Solitaire for years. I've had it on every PC I've ever owned and I'm so pleased to find it available for the iOS platform. If you are only familiar with a few solitaire games, check out this app. You won't be disappointed!

Best solitaire games

I've using their PC games and now the iPad versions forever (at least 15 years). They're games and interface are all great. A must buy if you are a solitaire fan.

The best solitaire

I have owned the Windows versions from its beginning well more than a decade ago, having wasted many a happy hour avoiding work playing Three Shuffles and a Draw or Spider. The iPad version follows the superb tradition of the Windows version, with hundreds of games including all the favorites and many unique to Goodsol. It allows the player to save a board to experiment with a line of play and then rewind if it does not pan out. I hope the developers add an iPhone version for at least the iPhone 6 Plus, but for now this is an iPad only app.

Amazing that so many games can be put into one App!

This is the app you want to get if you are serious about solitaire and you want lots of solitaire games. I believe it is up to 575 and still growing. The interface and navigation is clean and simple, the rules and instructions are more detailed than most and their is sometimes a brief history and list of similar games provided. I really like that game deals are given numbers which allows you to discuss them between players online and even find solutions!
