Awesome single player solitaire game!
Tue Oct 08 2019 WRS15743I bought this specifically to play solo, and I love it! Easy to learn, and it’s perfect for mobile because each game only lasts a few minutes. And even though luck is involved, you do have to plan and strategize. It’s not too easy or too hard, and it keeps me coming back for more.
Thank you, developers, for pricing it fairly, up front, with no IAP.
It works well on my XS Max on iOS 13, even though it hasn’t been updated in two years, which is why I docked it one star, because for the premium price it should be updated once a year to keep up with the current iOS. I do hope they at least keep it running as time goes on, because this is indeed a clever concept and more fun to me than most other solitaire games I’ve played. I’m glad I bought it!
Great game, but a tiny issue, and some cool suggestions
Sat Sep 02 2023 audioracerI love this game. It is lots of fun. I will say, whenever I turn the music up if you will or turn it on, as a voiceover screen reader user, I wish that when I would swipe across the screen, the music would not cut out as voiceover is speaking. I’m not sure why it does that. if there’s something technical that you are not able to get around, I can understand. But if possible, perhaps this could be fixed in a future update. Nevertheless, it is a great game. Here is a cool suggestion. I wish that people can send voice clips online. So not only do you send emoticon’s before drawing a card, you can send a voice clip. That way, people can make taunts to each other or what not. It would be really cool. and maybe, perhaps, it would be cool to make your own computer player. Just for fun. Don’t know how possible that would be to implement, but there are some thoughts for you. Again, great game.
I can’t put it down!
Fri Jan 07 2022 1eyefroggyI was intrigued when I saw in the app description that this app was voiceover friendly. I am legally blind and have not been able to play the physical version this game as easily as I used to be able to. Playing on a tablet enables me to zoom in on card numbers. When I tested this game with my screen reader, I was expecting the buttons to be read, and maybe my cards. But I was astonished when my screen reader read EVERYTHING, including the lanes and the opponents plays, moves and scoring! I could play this game in the dark, which is to say, when my eye is in a lot of pain, I can still play because I don’t have to strain to look at the screen. Thank you so much for making this game truly and completely accessible. ONLY suggestion for the app itself would be to include a pass and play option.
Good game, but app badge notifications are iffy
Fri Feb 24 2017 imperatrix mundiI really like this game, but often the app badge notifications get...confused?...when iOS updates come out. Usually the badge just doesn't clear when I've taken my turn, but right now it is straight up backwards. The notification disappears when it's my turn, and stays on when it isn't. Luckily, I play another game with the same friend and we both tend to take our turns in the games at the same time, so I rely on that game's app badge to let me know when it's my turn in Lost Cities.
A minor bug to be sure, but still an annoyance in an otherwise wonderful and very enjoyable app.
Fix for computer
Fri Apr 13 2018 the cooking susieI am seriously thinking of taking this off of my phone I hate games that are fixed for the computer and this one tops the line I played many games with the computer and this is definitely the worst I’ve ever played . I was quite disappointed because it is difficult to find games that we can play as blind people. Except for the Blindfold Games. I am most disappointed with the people who have developed this app shame on you making it always so easy for the computer to win I am very disappointed in this game. If you really care about this game app developers contact me. Thank you This game is fixed for the computer. It is not so bad when you play with a person, however when you play with the computer it is totally fixed I would give this a one ratings
Good game, bad auto-match
Tue May 12 2020 Eunuch MastersonsWhy is it that when i was winning a game with 2 cards left, the other player quit, and yet it counts as a loss for me? Also, there seem to be players who never take their turns and wait for you to quit so it counts as a win for them. It’s ridiculous. This player “masced” seems to be spamming the auto-match with new game requests. Could the developers please address these issues? It would be nice to get to play the game with other people who actually want to play and not just grief.
Simple but challenging
Mon Sep 24 2018 alienoreoI've had this game on my phone for a couple of years now, and over time it has become one of the two or three games I play the most. Very easy to learn, simple rules, but challenging to win consistently, and thus, a satisfying game experience. The games are short so when I lose, I feel compelled to give it another try. I find the AIs pretty good and am constantly refining my strategy to beat them more frequently. Luck is an element but solid tactics and prudent gambles make all the difference. I love it.
RIGGED
Mon Mar 01 2021 onelove_4everIt is hard to put into words just how rigged this game is. After close to 200 games against the computer I was top five in the world. In other words I’m no slouch at this game. After that I went on to lose 24 out of 30 games against the computer. It was laughable how many times I would wait on a card until I just could not wait any longer...and as soon as I played- the card I was waiting on would MIRACULOUSLY appear from the deck. At one point over the course of a few games I counted this happening nine out of nine times… It got to the point that it was hilarious! not even maddening anymore. RIGGED
If I were you, I would only play against real people online. At least in that situation both sides would be Rigged, ha ha
Needs notifications
Fri Apr 26 2024 WestcoasthabitationGreat game but it needs notifications. I would like a badge option so that I would know when one of my opponents has played. Seems like that’s pretty basic and common on most games. As it is, I have to just check randomly to see if it’s my turn and the app is a bit slow compared to others when I do that. Maybe a quick update?
Good game but…
Thu Feb 24 2022 The Jive Soul BroI am currently playing a game in versus mode and my opponent takes a minimum of 45 minutes to make a move. At this rate it will take more than a month to finish the match and I will also point out that my opponent has a skill level of 70%, so I imagine it’s high because people have forfeited/surrender their game. As such, this abuse highlights the need for a timer and technical or customer service contact to report such sportsmanship. Other than these flaws the game is great.
