I played the free version, and here are my initial honest opinions:

First the good IMO:

1) The graphics are very nice.

2) It's simple in that you can just press Play and play. I like that a lot.

3) It's very smooth and feels polished.

4) The game idea itself is very interesting and made me want to play.

Here are the things I had a problem with:

1) I didn't know how to control my cards by dragging when I first started out. I tried tilting and touching in different spots. But got it figured.

2) It felt like it started super slow until I learned to drag the cards down into place.

3) The first time the dynamite showed, I was a little upset. I was playing a fun game, now there are these strange things happening. It would be nice to be able to turn this off.

4) It got super hard really fast. I started playing strictly based on symbols. Hearts, Spades, Clubs, Diamonds. I couldn't mentally chase down other poker hand possibilities once it stacked up a little.

5) The controls got tough because it was as if I could sometimes drag cards upwards, sometimes I could not.

6) I'm on a iPhone 3GS, and it crashed every time I tried to play the "Levels" mode. I would touch 1, and it would boot me out to my home screen.

=====================

In the end, number 4 above is what stopped me from buying the game. It just got so hard so fast that I couldn't find a way to get any form of long-term enjoyment out of the game. The Levels didn't work, so I didn't get an opportunity to try them, but hopefully I will someday.

I wish you the best of luck, I'm just one opinion, and the big thing to remember with these mobile games is not to jump to the code and graphics every time someone says something bad. I used to do that and it turned out that the loudest people were the biggest complainers and all the people that liked the game quietly like it. I now prefer to keep my happy customers happy because the unhappy people aren't coming back anyway - for me anyway.
