Features
Cookie Bonus Solitaire is a fun game that is free to download, but is ad supported. The ads are not particularly intrusive; you only see them one time per session when you first enter the game. The ads display on the screen from different places like Wal-Mart or Subway and to remove them you tap the ad. Tapping the ad gives you the option to close it or to take a survey associated with the ad.

If you are playing and a call comes in, the game is automatically saved for you to resume later. If you are used to playing solitaire on a Windows computer you have a good idea of the style of game play. Rather than moving cards with a mouse, you move them with your finger.

You only have the option to draw cards three at a time -- no Vegas rules or single card option is offered. You do get four cheats that you can use including peek, any space, shuffle, and find aces. The find aces cheat moves all aces to the finished piles of cards. The peak cheat lets you see the cards in your face down stacks, any space cheat lets you place any face up card onto an empty stack. The shuffle cheat reshuffles the cards in the deck. You don’t have to use the cheats to win the game.

Gameplay
As you play, different cards will be associated with different bonuses in cookies -- which are sort of like chips -- and some cards will pull cards from your face down stacks and place them into the deck when you get them in one of the slots started with aces.

Cookie Bonus Solitaire is really fun and is great for a free (ad supported) game. The only issue I had with the game is that the cards are very small and there is no method for zooming. It could be hard for players with big fingers, or limited dexterity to touch the right card. I also found that on a few occasions getting the entire stack to lift when I wanted to move more than one card from one stack to another could be difficult.
