Free Iphone Applications

Sol Free

If you were to go to any group of people and ask them who within themselves has never played solitaire, and I’m sure you would find that there are little to no people who haven’t. The game is a classic, and whether it’s played the traditional way with a deck of cards, or the “newfangled” way (through a computer or similar device), it’s still a game for the ages, made to pass time and get that brain working. Now, the game is also an iPhone and iPod Touch classic, having been ported over by game developers Smallware LLC. The App we are specifically talking about is Sol Free, the most-downloaded solitaire game for the Apple devices.

The game boasts 5 different versions of solitaire, all of which are very popular variants of the game. These 5 versions are Baker’s Game, Demon, Klondike (Deal 1), Klondike (Deal 3), and Spiderette. The game works just like any other solitaire game, except it takes advantage of the touch screen to move the cards around. We would have liked some more usage of Apple technology, such as a shake to deal or something like that, but I guess the developer thought it was a bad idea. Also included in the game is a rulebook for each variant of the game, which we would really like to applaud the developer for. It makes it that much easier to play games you’re not familiar with. The game also conveniently tracks the amount of time you’ve spent on the current game, the amount of moves, and the remaining stock of cards.

So there you have it. Here’s the answer we’re going to provide to all developers that say a good free game is not profitable. Smallware sure seem to have done it, and they’re making their money off of bonus content, which is a great idea. That said, we give this App a shuffling 5 out of 5 stars.
