Latest reviews of Forty Thieves - Solitaire Connection app for iPhone and iPad

Slow
Its glacier slow on my gen 1 iPhone. So slow as almost be unusable. Dragging cards is painful. Im not sure what tech they are using, but this feels (and looks) like a web app, not a native Cocoa app. (Controls are non standard, etc.) It could have been written in Flash or something and coverted to run on iPhone. Whatever it is, it is poor. It works, but barely. If it was free it might be worth it for occasional play, but I regret paying for it. It was the only 40 Thieves I could find, though, and I love that version of solitaire. I guess Ill keep looking.
Not worth it
I love 40 thieves solitaire, but this game on my Touch, aside from being sadistically small, had an awkward interface (double tapping might turn a new card OR enlarge the screen; dragging might move a card or the whole tableau). Also buggy, where when I was positioning the tableau a face-down card mysteriously left the deck and settled on my playfield, and every new click caused a card to jump onto the facedowm card. Also, there are no options for alternative rules for play.
Slow and frustrating to use
The new game button is irritatingly close to where youd tap to flip a card.... So annoying to be playing a game thats going well and accidentally re-deal a whole new game.
