"Great... the greatest ever.
Great....the best ever!"Version: Klondike Forever 1.3.6
Pros
It is very clear, bright and FAST. Also you are not constantly frustrated as with some others (such as Full Deck Solitaire). It is the best ever, the best I've ever seen. On top of all that, it is free. What more can one wish?
Cons
Nothing at all.
Summary
This is the best solitaire app I've ever seen, all things considered. It is Klondite Forever is easy for the eyes (bright and clear), for the mind (it responds quickly and moves cards through clicks: many apps, e.g. Full Deck Solitaire, are slow and you waste time moving the cards manually, which is frustrating in itself).) and for the heart (you don't always get frustrating hands as with some apps, and you get an applause when you win). I've never seen anything as good, and in fact can't imagine anything better.

"Graphically Pleasing!"
Version: Klondike Forever 1.3.4
Pros
After seeing some other solitaires that excel at simplicity (there's a place for that), I was glad to find this program which provides an interesting visual environment. If the animation doesn't appeal, you can turn it off in the game options!
Cons
Not much. Maybe the odd low res graphic? (most are just fine)
-
"Cheesy, annoying and just plain stupid."
Version: Klondike Forever 1.3.4
Pros
Klondike solitaire
Cons
Ugly, annoying, cheesy, game from like 1990
Summary
Unless you are absolutely desperate to play solitaire, I do not recommend this game. Should you download, I'm fairly certain you would agree.

"Well designed and thought out."
Version: Klondike Forever 1.1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Klondike Forever is an extremely attractive (almost beautiful) and well-designed game. What's most surprising is that this is freeware, not shareware. This game also gives you a taste of what their shareware product, "Solitaire Forever" would be like (an almost endless supply of solitaire games). Yes, I plan on purchasing Solitaire Forever very soon.
The board and card layout is nothing less than outstanding. Large, natural and easy to read card faces (the same as the Bicycle decks that you'd buy -- familiar and drawn to perfection). I can't tell you how many solitaire games I've trashed just because the card faces are silly, or busy, or they try to be unique and fancy, only to be difficult to read. Another big plus are the sound effects. They seem spot on (most never get this quite right). I play with all of the wiz-bang animated effects turned off (far too busy and distracting for my tastes). However, I do like the way the cards flip. Not only does it perform this smoothly, it is also entertaining to watch.
The game layout (looks like the cards are placed on a piece of glass that is leaned against a green background) is shown at a slight angle and perspective (similar to the view one gets from actually playing a real game of solitaire). This enhances the entire look and feel. I immediately fell in love with the looks and felt right at home. And as one adds cards to a growing pile, the pile adjusts smoothly and nicely to keep all the cards on the game (glass) board. For a very fluid and quick game of Solitaire (on my G4 running Tiger, no less), this one just can't be beat. The designers knew what they were doing and what was important (once one turns off the additional effects -- of course, many may like these effects).
I do have a minor complaint or two. While the preferences are beautifully designed as well, it is accessed by one button (the only button icon on the playing screen) that takes you to a separate preference screen. I would have liked to have seen a few basic control icons at the game level (although there are adjustments one can make in the menu bar). More significantly, while it does play very smoothly, it does so without anything else activating or working in the background. It seems to suck up all the computing cycles.
One additional note: I've looked and tried out dozens of solitaire games (yeah, all the big ones), and the only other one I've found that compares to Klondike and / or Solitaire Forever is the beautiful shareware game, "Hardwood Solitaire III". It has soothing, beautiful background music that you just won't find anywhere else (that enhances an already gorgeous background and visual effects). Both games are must haves for me. -
"Too much eye candy"
Version: Klondike Forever 1.1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Yes, it's pretty. But it gets old quick and can become irritating. The most distracting of the animations can be turned off (background anims, card back anims, "fireflies") but it still does card flips regardless, and even the static background is irritating after a while. If you just want something to look cute for a while, it's great. If you want to sit and play for a long time, find something more pedestrian and less likely to induce headaches.
