Here's our list of what's changing from version to version! We're including the release notes for what'll be in the next version too, so you can see what we've fixed and what we're working on. We try to submit Google, Apple and Amazon versions at about the same time, but it sometimes takes one of them a bit longer to approve and make live.
If you'd like to help test any upcoming version - please get in touch with a message. We're always pleased to have people on board helping to check new releases, and you certainly don't have to be a high-tech person to help!
Version 2.27 (June 2019)
- Streamlined our advertising providers, significantly reducing the download and install sizes
- Support for iPhone X/Xr/Xs/Xs Max
- Support for tall Android screens
- Performance and stability improvements
Version 2.23 (May 2018)
- End of game popup now includes a short delay on the 'finish' button, to help to protect long win streaks against accidental presses!
- End of game popup is movable again, in case you want to take a last look at the cards for any extra possibilities
- Timer can be toggled again between game time and real-time clock
- Option to switch tool bar to be either at the top or bottom of the screen
- Improved card layouts for some devices where the layouts might extend past the bottom of the screen
- Many performance tweaks and minor fixes
Version 2.22 (April 2018)
- New built-in support system
- Various stability fixes
Version 2.21.001 (January 2018)
- Stability improvements and minor tweaks and fixes
- More videos available for earning lots more hearts for games
- NEW daily and weekly heart bonuses to collect to boost your totals
Version 2.20.004 (September 2017)
- Requirements to get the 6 of Clubs, 8 of Clubs, 6 of Diamonds, 8 of Diamonds changed! These games required lots of play of Clock and Idiot's Delight - two games where the chances of winning are fairly low, and in the case of Clock, is all down to luck. These Golden Deck cards are now achieved by losing games in a row - which should be much less stressful! ( You'll still need to win just one game of each to get the 6 and 8 of Spades though!)
- Cosmetic tweaks!
- Fix for a potential crash when starting the app which would cause it to exit straight out.
Version 2.20 (September 2017)
- Astraware Solitaire is moving to being a free download with optional in-app purchase (like most of our puzzle games have done!)
- Existing paid customers (from before it was a free dowload) will be upgraded automatically and shouldn't see any difference!
- New players can choose to purchase the 'deluxe' option, or play entirely for free which is supported by ads.
- Earn 'Heart' tokens in advance by watching videos when available
- Get extra tokens every time you complete a new Golden Deck achievement
- Each Heart gives you an ad-free deal.
- If you run out of hearts you can still play with the option to watch an ad before the game (it won't show an ad every time, just sometimes.)
- Improvement to the graphic storage system means the game will be faster to load and start, especially for users with older devices. ( On the latest devices, it's still an improvement, but the 0.1s faster is barely noticeable!)
- A number of small bugs and fixes, with latest SDK support wherever possible
Version 2.14 (October 2016)
- Added in support for various new screen sizes and resolutions (including new tablets and iPad Pro size)
- Fixed problems with some larger screen sizes having games - especially spider - being difficult to play when cards are near an edge
- Update with the latest support system (Hotline) built in
- Game will now 'expire' away old messages a month after they are received, which will help to keep them relevant.
- Fixed a problem where 'guaranteed solvable' games could sometimes give you the same game more than once!
- Lots of small updates and tweaks to support the later OS versions on each platform
Version 2.09 through 2.12 (March 2016)
- Fix to resolution support for Galaxy Tab S2 and various other devices
- Built-in customer support system
