91/100

Pretty Good Solitaire Mini is the 'Swiss Army Knife' of card games. For the true solitaire aficionado, this app is an absolute treasure trove. It doesn't just give you Klondike and Spider; it provides a staggering 350 different variations, ranging from the famous to the obscure. It’s the kind of app that you can keep on your phone for years and still find a new game mode to master every week.

The 'Mini' designation belies the depth of the content. While the interface is optimized for smaller screens, it doesn't lose the high-quality statistics tracking and 'undo' features that the series is known for. The cards are clear and easy to read, which is vital when you're playing some of the more complex eight-deck variations. It’s a no-nonsense, content-heavy app that values gameplay variety above flashy animations.

Dinsun Review

I don't need fancy animations or 'story modes' in my Solitaire. I just want the cards to look like cards and the rules to be accurate. Pretty Good Solitaire Mini delivers exactly that. It's like those shareware discs from the 90s, just a solid list of games that work.

The interface is a bit dated—it looks like it was designed by an engineer, not a graphic artist. But honestly, I prefer that to the over-saturated, 'juicy' interfaces of most modern apps. It’s clean, it’s fast, and it has every version of Solitaire you could possibly want. It’s for people who actually like the game, not people who need a hit of dopamine every time a card moves.
