MobilityWare's Solitaire is one of the most widely installed solitaire apps; in 2022 the company said it had passed 290 million installs, and the App Store page shows 2.1 million ratings. It covers Klondike with draw-1 or draw-3, several scoring styles, unlimited hints and undos, Winning Deals that have at least one known solution and a Show Me How To Win feature that demonstrates a winning line. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision, and MobilityWare also offers a free browser version on its website with no download or registration. The trade-off for clean-play seekers is how ads are removed. The app contains advertising, and the ad-free option is a subscription at $1.99 a month or $4.99 for three months, with a one-week free trial for new subscribers. That recurring cost is why it sits below Brainium, which sells a one-time removal. We compared documented features and published prices.
