By App Store Tracker Editorial · Updated — App Store ratings fetched to

The short version

MobilityWare's Solitaire is the original Klondike card game with daily challenges, though longtime players complain about heavy full-screen ads. The closest swap is MobilityWare's own ad-free Solitaire+, and for variety, Solebon's Solitaire packs 50 game types. PlayStudios' Classic and Doodle Mobile's Solitaire have huge followings. The picks below all play the same Klondike at heart, so choose by ad load, game variety, and customization.

People look for Solitaire alternatives mainly to escape ads, find a smoother app, or get more game variety than plain Klondike. The seed nails the classic, with daily challenges and stat tracking, but reviewers cite long unskippable ads after every game. Every pick here is Klondike at its core: build descending alternating-color stacks, send aces up to foundations, and clear the board, usually with Draw-1 and Draw-3 modes, hints, and custom card backs. We ranked them by embedding similarity to Solitaire, then weighed live App Store ratings and review volume so the most popular, best-rated solitaire apps lead.

    Why it's similar

    Solebon's Solitaire stands out for variety, bundling 50 classic solitaire games beyond Klondike, with winning-deal options, deal preview, and hints, giving Solitaire fans far more game types in one app. Its 4.75 rating across 73,000+ reviews shows a loyal base.

    How it differs

    Reviewers cite ads after every game with inconsistent close buttons and intrusive sound, echoing the seed's ad gripes. Its 50-game breadth makes it less focused on pure Klondike than Solitaire, which may overwhelm players who only want the classic.

How we ranked these 10 alternatives

Embedding similarity

Every app in our database carries a dense vector embedding derived from its title, subtitle, full description, and category metadata. To find apps similar to Solitaire, we compute cosine distance against every other app and keep the closest 30. The similarity score shown on each pick is 1 - distance/2 clamped to [0,1] — 100% means the embedding spaces are identical, 0% means orthogonal.

Ranking

Apps from Solitaire's own developer are left out. The 10 most similar of the rest are ordered by App Store rating times the logarithm of their rating count, so a 4.8-star app with 100,000 ratings ranks above a 4.5-star app with 200 ratings.

Data dates

The similar-app list was computed on May 25, 2026. Ratings are the latest US App Store fetch for each app, taken between November 3, 2026 and November 10, 2026. Prices and update dates come from Apple when the page is built.
