"Unappealing graphics, only simplest version."
Version: Solitaire XL 1.1.8
Pros
It was free.

"good play, but interjects strange windows"
Version: Solitaire XL 1.1.8
Pros
Good, smooth play
Cons
Interjects "Solitare XL - High Scores" window implying game is winnable when starting a new game.
On Quit, message "The requested URL /gbm1.1.8.html was not found on this server Apache/2.2.15 (Fedora) Server at lavacat.com Port 80" appearsSummary
Interjects "Solitare XL - High Scores" window implying game is winnable when starting a new game, with only options to Quit or New Game, Continue grayed out
On Quit, produces message "The requested URL /gbm1.1.8.html was not found on this server Apache/2.2.15 (Fedora) Server at lavacat.com Port 80" " with option to "Visit lavacat.com" or "quit." Clicking on "Visit lavacat.com" reproduces the same window. -
"Better then some free games."

Visually the game is pleasing. Very easy to navigate and fun to play.

The draw of the cards seems to go against the player most times. Sometimes difficult to win.

"works real well--Have enjoyed it !!"

Pros
Clear background of cards make cards easy to see

Would like to be able to make the cards larger

"Very basic, but elegantly designed"
Version: Solitaire XL 1.1.8
Pros
Floats in the front over your desktop or your work. Nice that you can put in your own images on the back of the cards.
Cons
Does not automatically remove cards to their stacks (you have to double-click them yourself).
Summary
Not anywhere near as good as Microsoft's solitaire (which does not have a Mac version).
-
"Fun to play. Getting it free is terrific. Good game."
Version: Solitaire XL 1.1.8
Pros
Does all the things that keep you from playing solitaire with cards automatically. It is addicting. You can play a game in minutes - a little quick fun.
Cons
Doesn't work quite right. Does not interfere with playing. However, the few little bugs are annoying. Every time you turn it off, it gives messages about problems. Still, for the price, you can't get anything else as good.

"I enjoy playing it - it is easy to play."
Version: Solitaire XL 1.1.8
Pros
Large display.
Cons
The program sometimes sticks.
Summary
Overall I like it - I would be very pleased if the problem with sticking were overcome.
