2) There is an option that can ask you to confirm if you want to end a game on the Settings screen. It's called "Confirm New/End" and if you're prone to accidentally hitting the New button during play then simply turn it on.
3) If you like to play Solitaire City in bed, then you can lock the display to either landscape or portrait, again from the Settings screen.

How Not to Crash
I've played this game for years on the Pocket PC. I only switched over to the iPhone platform because this game was available! It is, without a doubt, the best solitaire game on the market. However, I've seen a lot of reviews talking about it crashing. I had the same problem with another app. Here' what the developer told me to do. I have NO crashes with any app on my iPhone now:
There appears to be an issue with either the iPhone OS or iTunes or some combination of both that for some reason causes the problem that you mentioned. This issue is not limited to (my app), but appears to affect pretty much any third party application, but it's totally random. Many developers as well as Apple personnel have been working this weekend to try to figure out what is going on.
Now that we have the background information out of the way, let's move on to resolving the problem!
1. Make sure your iPhone is synced with your copy of iTunes.
2. Remove an application from the iPhone. It doesn't appear to matter which application you remove.
3. Once the application is removed, completely power down your iPhone.
4. Wait a moment.
5. Power your iPhone back up.
6. Reconnect to iTunes.
7. Add the application back to the iPhone.
No problems.
Great game with only minor flaws
Great all around package with crisp graphics and good interface. Global hi-scores are a real treat and give you something to work for. I find myself playing for fun, not just to kill time, exactly what you want to see in a $10 game.
Only two minor flaws stick out at this point: sometimes you advance the deck when you mean to grab cards from the waste pile given their close proximity in many games. Second, if you resume a saved game (for instance if you get a call), your game cannot be a part of the global hi-score system. I'm sure this is to prevent cheating, so I appreciate that, but it's a real bummer if you're playing one of your best games only to get a call and have it not count.
Overall, though, highly recommend the purchase--I spent a lot of time looking at the various solitaire offerings before pulling the trigger and I am certainly not disappointed.
Best solitaire in the app store!
I have downloaded 4 solitaire games here, and I have FINALLY found the best one. Everything about this one is superb.
This is the only solitaire that I van actually see what cards I'm playing with! The graphics kick butt, and the entire game shines. Trust me, this is the one to buy.
A bit high, but worth every dime.
