Solitaire by Brainium review

Brainium's Solitaire is the cleanest of the mobile apps on this list. The publisher pitches it as built for players who value clarity and calm gameplay with no unnecessary clutter, and the feature list backs that up: Klondike with Draw-1 or Draw-3, Vegas scoring, unlimited free hints and undos, auto-complete, stats, achievements and Daily Challenges. It plays offline, and you can pick from dozens of card backs and themes or upload your own photos as backgrounds. It is free with ads, but the US App Store lists clear ways out: $0.99 for a week, $1.99 for a month, $9.99 for a year or $11.99 to remove ads with a single purchase. That one-time option is what lifts it above MobilityWare for ad-averse players. The limits are scope, since FreeCell, Spider and Pyramid are separate Brainium apps, and the 13+ age rating for simulated gambling tied to Vegas scoring. We compared documented features and published prices.
