Software Reviews and Criticism

  I think of this game as “chewing gum for the brain.” I play it almost every day

  When I’m making a phone call and I know I’m likely to be on hold while bad music plays through awful speakers I always open a solitaire game. I noticed with this specific solitaire game that if I win a game, the next 3 games are impossible to win - the cards I need to complete that game just can’t be uncovered. I’ve found a work-around to defeat this annoying glitch in the program. When I’ve won and the cards are slowly rolling over on to the deck I wait with my cursor poised over the “new game” icon and as soon as the row of 10’s begins to move I click that new game icon. Usually this disrupts the shuffling algorythm enough to make a new game that I can win. Then I just minimize the game until I want to play again. If it doesn’t work, which does happen sometimes, I can usually get a winnable game after a few tries. Strategy hint: I never put the first of 2 cards that can go to a place on a stack unless I’m sure the one other card that could go there is not in play. In other words if I draw a 6 of hearts that could go on a black seven I won’t use it until I’ve completed checking all the cards available to play to be sure there’s also a 6 of diamonds I could use - it’s a way to avoid “shooting myself in the foot” by reducing the risk that I’ll make it impossible to play a covered card when/if I do uncover it.

  Great Version od Solitaire

  I've been playing this game for years. There's just one issue that I have. In the latest update the ability of the program to retain the last size and position when reopening the game was lost. It's a small thing but it is irritating to have to move and adjust every time I open it.

  Program doesn’t know you’ve lost

  When you get to the point in a game where there are no more moves, the program doesn’t recognize this. It allows you to keep flipping through the deck ad infinitum. The Microsoft version knows when you’re at the end of the rope. I do not see the advantage of not having this feature, other than it makes programming the game a lot easier.

  Crashes when you win

  Everything about this app is great except one important problem. In Vegas mode you can lose all you want and it will continue to add up your losses, but if you win it crashes almost every time, then resets to another lost game. if you want to play vegas style and add up your wins, you won’t be able to do that with this app. If you just want to play regular it’s great.
