http://www.goodsol.com/ipad/pretty-good-solitaire.html

A new version of Pretty Good Solitaire for iPad is now available! If you have purchased the app, go to the App Store Updates area and the update should be there if you have not already downloaded it.

If you have not bought the iPad app, it is available at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pretty-good-solitaire/id645018925?ls=1&mt=8 .

Pretty Good Solitaire for iPad v1.2 contains 550 games. Here is what is new:

Bug Fixes:

If you purchase or update, be sure to rate and review the app! More information about the new version, including a list of the 550 games, is at http://www.goodsol.com/ipad/pretty-good-solitaire.html .
