Description

Privacy Friendly Solitiare is a Klondike Solitaire Game. Its goal is to move all cards to the foundations. A detailed description of the rules can be found in the app's help site.

Which features offers Privacy Friendly Solitaire?

Privacy Friendly Solitaire provides different difficulty levels that draw either one or three cards from the deck. Additionally there are the following versions of counting points:
- None: No points are counted.
- Standard: The Player starts with zero points, moves give different points.
- Vegas: The Player starts at -52 points and tries to get more than zero points, while the deck can only be passed through one time.

The Player can generate an automatic move by clicking the Hint-Button or automatically move all possible cards to the foundation by shaking the device (if it is activated in the Settings).
Addtionally he can undo and redo moves. Optionally he is shown the time of play.
When the game is almost won (meaning that there are no more cards turned face-down), it will finish automatically.

How does Privacy Friendly Solitaire differ from other similar apps?

1) No permissions
Privacy Friendly Solitaire does not require any permission.
For comparison: The Top Ten similar apps from the Google Play Store, require an average of 11,1 permissions (March 2018). These are for instance the permission to access accounts, permissions to access, modify or delete storage and access to networks or the internet.

2) No advertisement
Moreover, Privacy Friendly Solitaire distinguishes from many other applications in the way that it completely relinquishes advertisements. Advertisement might track a user's actions. It could also shorten battery life or use mobile data.

This app is part of the Privacy Friendly Apps group
developed by the research group SECUSO at Technische Universität Darmstadt.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

2 ★The game is quite buggy. Sometimes cards get stuck in the middle of an animation and becomes impossible to select, and if there are too many cards in a column they can go out of screen. A shame since this is otherwise a very light free app.
3 ★The app is nice, but its interface could be much much better. Also, games don't seem to be tested for solvability, which results in unavoidable losing.
4 ★I like that this app does need permissions to run on my phone. Unfortunately the fonts of the playing cards are too fine & small and difficult to see & read. Would prefer a bolder, thicker font.
2 ★I wanted to like it. The author's mission if privacy friendly games is laudible. Unfortunately this is almost unplayable. Tiny type, extra taps needed compared to every other solitaire game out there, forced landscape orientation, tiny click targets. So much potential so little refinement.
