Pros and cons of Hardwood Solitaire IV Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Hardwood Solitaire IV Pro app good for

I found this company years back on the Xbox 360. When I traded it in, I really missed the game so I took a chance and searched for them. Yay! I cant praise the beautiful scenery, relaxing sounds, and wonderful artwork enough! Love it!

I have been waiting for this game to come to iPad! I have loved this game since my first PC. And then when I switched to a iMac I bought that version. The Graphics are great. All of their card games are very good and worth it. So Excited I found them again. Dont stop with solitaire look for their other games for iPad.

Fun, fast solitaire game, where you play to beat your previous score and race the clock for a quicker finish and overall score! Good graphics, quick play, and you can strategize your play, by moving back and forth in the unplaced cards.

Some bad moments

Unfortunately I purchased this app based on comments from coverage at MacWorld without waiting for ratings. My mistake as it is very sluggish which makes it painful to play (iPad 1 and iPhone 4). This is unfortunate as it does look pretty nice and does give a decent selection of games. Also the iPhone version looks like a miniature version of the iPad including tiny buttons - no redesign, just shrunk down. Ultimately it looks like it might be a port of another version but has no tuning for the iOS devices nor consideration of iPhone vs. iPad screen size. There is really no excuse for this as it definitely should not need any high performance capabilities. Would recommend staying clear of this.

Originally gave this a 5 star rating for gameplay, graphics & design, which still holds true. Unfortunately what I didnt realize at the time was game makers "new way"of doing business with the implementation of a never ending monthly "membership renewal" fee and selling "tokens" to get extras (which should be included with the "membership" fee). Theres more than enough great games/apps out there that you dont need to empty your pockets every month over this one... P.S. forcing reviewers to give at least an obligatory 1 star rating ought to be eliminated too.

No mention of any sort of monthly fees that i could see, until you load up the game that is. Game itself is good, but the monthly fee is not.

The amount of games is the only redeeming aspect. Otherwise the animation is slow and clunky. Some of the free games in the Appstore are better, but lack the variety.

Ive played the Hardwood Solitaire series on both the PC and the Xbox before getting it for the iPad. This version is quite nice and worth the money, but there are a couple of things that could be improved upon. Animation is slow in some areas (most noticeably the menus) and there is a glaring lack of game types. Other than that, if youre looking for a high quality solitaire game, look no further!

This game has great animation and tons of game options to choose from, so youll never get bored. Also, the background and card designs are beautiful. Very enjoyable to play, I recommend it!
