Customer Reviews
This is a fantastic app with a great developer!
I ran across this app when looking for a good version of a solitaire game. I never tried the free version but purchased the paid version based on the reviews and the assortment of games. I'm glad I did. Some of the rules are a little different than the versions of the games I've played, but it's been the only card game I've played since I purchased it. Every game I want is right there. And I've had hours of enjoyment. Also, there are choices as to deck, table and cards. That's something many apps don't have. If there were one thing I'd want to see added, it would be the ability to start a new game in the current one. Some of the games have that option, but apparently not all of them. Or perhaps I just haven't found where to tap the board. Visiting the website will give you additional information you didn't know about playing the games. This developer really seems to care and the game shows it.
Update: 12/22/11 I ran across a couple of areas that I thought were bugs and contacted the developer. He has always responded quickly. Also when I said I thought something was a problem he'd review what I said and tell me how it was a error or request more information so I didn't continue to be frustrated. This developer definitely cares about his customers.
Add Sheepshead?
I really enjoy all the games but when will Sheepshead be added. I would happily pay for this update to play.
