Apple recently released new versions of their operating systems, iOS and OS X (now called macOS).
iOS 10 was released over a week ago. At this time, there are no known problems with our iPad apps running in iOS 10 (this is unlike iOS 9, which caused a nightmare, and like all previous iOS releases, which did not cause problems). All of our iPad apps including Pretty Good Solitaire run fine on iOS 10.
MacOS Sierra (10.12) was released this week. At this time there are no known problems in any of our Mac apps except for Pretty Good MahJongg. Pretty Good Solitaire and all our other Mac apps except Pretty Good MahJongg appear to be running fine is Sierra. Again, most Mac OS updates have not caused problems, but some have.
The exception is Pretty Good MahJongg, which is crashing in Sierra. We are working to find out what the problem is and issue an update. In the meantime, if Pretty Good MahJongg for the Mac is an application that you use, we recommend not updating to Sierra until we can fix the problem.
As a side note, not once in over 20 years of updates has any update to Windows ever caused a crash in one of our games. Microsoft takes backwards compatibility with software very seriously. Apple simply doesn't care at all, in fact they regularly and gleefully cause old apps to stop working. This makes it much harder for Apple developers.
FreeCell Plus 4.03 quotes unexpectedly when opened in macOS Sierra. This has been true since I installed the new OS. How might I proceed?

That was "error corrected" from "crashes" to "quotes"!!!

Upgrade to the latest version of FreeCell Plus (4.30). Select 'Internet->Download Latest Version' from the menu, or just go the web site:

This version does not crash on macOS Sierra.

Freecell Plus does not work on my MAC since upgrading to OS Sierra. I get a dialogue box saying FreeCell Plus quit unexpectedly. Despite what T. Warfield and goodsol.com say, a perfectly good version of this previously great App for my MAC now DOES NOT work. We like his apps. But Sierra broke it we suspect.
So when will we get a fix. Or does godson expect us to pay again for Freecell Plus? I would think a fix is out there somewhere. We like goodsol.
Thank.

As the original post says, if you update to the latest version you won't have a problem.
