If looks were everything ...

This is the best looking iOS solitaire I know, but it is spoiled by thoroughly lazy or incompetent programming, made worse by the newest update.
The games I play are full of bugs, they run agonizingly slowly on the iPhone 6 Plus, they tend not to obey their own rules, and now the latest update has ruined Tantalus, cards change suit, don't obey their piles etc.
A few examples of the bugs I have come across:
In Windmill, you sometimes get two cards on a layout position, where only one is allowed.
In Seahaven Towers, you can sometimes move a pile with differing suits, which is against the rules.
In Canfield, if you use the original rules dealing packets of three cards, (the switch, unlike other games, is not sticky for some reason) and use the undo button, the cards go backwards one by one, instead of packets of threes.
The recently introduced change from unlimited undos to a specified number, whereby using more than that number is "cheating", is laughable: going backwards at all is "cheating", so why should going over a specific count be cheating , but less than the count not be?
For all my complaints I have had hours of fun out of these games; I only wish they were better constructed.
