I have had no problem flicking left and right to hear my exposed cards, and
it seems to work fine.

The first thing you need to know is that the best way to play is by dragging
your finger on the screen, not by flicking left and right. Flicking is, in
fact, not going to do you much good at all, except to see all the cards
still on the table. So, this game starts with, I believe, seven rows of
cards, though I may be wrong about the number. Each row starts with the same
number of cards, with only the bottom card available for play. If you drag
your finger from left to right approximately two thirds of the way down the
screen, you will hear the suit and number of the bottom card. Drag your
finger down very slightly to make sure you are at the bottom of the row.
Now, how to play: at the bottom middle is a button called Pack. This is your
deck. Double tap this if you have no more plays to get a new starting card.
Flick left once, or drag up slightly, from the pack button to see what your
current starting card is. To play, you need to find a card that is at the
bottom of a row that is one more or less than the starting card, then the
one more or less than that card, and so on. So say you start with a three.
You need a two or four, so you find the four at the bottom of the first row.
Double tap it and it is moved on top of the three. Moving this card uncovers
the next card up in the row, which can be found by dragging your finger up
from where the last card was. Now, you will need a three or five. Remember
that if you have an ace, you can only go up to a two, not down to a king,
and likewise, from a king you can only go down to a queen and not up to an
ace.
Now here is the trick. Say you have a three and the option to go up to a
four or down to a two. Drag up from each card and see what the next card
will be. The point of this is that if it is something you can use after that
card, then you want to uncover it.
The basic game cannot be won. The point is not to win, but to get as far
into the game as possible. Once you have enough points, you have the option
to play a challenge game, designated by a challenge button. A challenge game
can be won, so if you lose you probably will want to restart it until you
win.
Two final notes. Your score and streak number will be approximately in the
upper left and upper right respectively. Along the bottom, in order, are:
undo, redo, restart, new game, challenge, and info. Info is where you can
find rules and settings, along with a few other things.
I hope I have given a good description of the game and that this will help
people enjoy the app. Once you get used to it, you will find the game is
quite VoiceOver friendly and fun to play. At least I think so.
Yours truly,
Jewel

only accessible thing that I have found with this game, is that VO reads

It never says which stack anything is in, and double tapping randomly does
nothing at all. In addition, this is not true solitaire, as far as I can
tell, which makes things even more difficult to figure out.
