iPad Freecell Players: If the screen scrolls from swiping when you meant to tap, try this.

One of the most annoying problems I have when playing for speed is that I frequently move my finger a tiny bit during a tap, which the iPad interprets that as a swipe. The result: the swipe makes whole view scroll, rather than a tap triggering auto-play.
This evening I tried an iOS Accessibility option called "Use Initial Touch Location." I've played only a few games with it on, but it seems to have helped tremendously.

Caveat: At the risk of stating the obvious, if you intentionally swipe to move cards, this setting will probably do more harm than good.
