### 3/5 — Disappointed Fan

*2025-01-05*

I have been a long time fan of this game. The animations are great. I used to play it almost daily, but I have now begun leaving before the end of the game, because it is interrupted so often with annoying and seemingly interminable ads which they began adding recently. 
I shall begin to look for another game of hearts, which is not so frustrating.

**Developer response:** Hello,Thank you for your feedback on the ads in the game. If you like, there's a remove ads option for $2.99 which you can find in the bottom left corner of the title screen. If you have questions, you can message us at support@concretesoftware.com or using the contact button in the game's purchase.Thank you,Concrete Software

### 1/5 — Too many ads.

*2024-07-26, version 2.3.0*

I had this game on my phone for over five years. Deleted it today. The developers added so many ads it made the game unplayable.

### 2/5 — Latest Update sucks

*2024-07-03*

I have this version if Hearts for many years… However it’s time to delete it and find a new version. 

I totally understand that ad’s pay the bills, however after every hand for several screens and then taken to the app store is way too much!!!

**Developer response:** Hello,Thank you for sharing your feedback on the ads in the game. If you have additional feedback, you can reach out to us about it at support@concretesoftware.com or using the contact button in the game's inbox.Thank you,Concrete Software

### 5/5 — Where is your spades game?

*2023-07-09*

Concrete software spades was my favorite spades game!! What happened to it?
Please bring it back for IOS!!!!

### 5/5 — Shockingly Underrated

*2023-03-13*

After trying most of the Hearts card games in the App Store, Aces Hearts ended up being my favorite and the one I've been enjoying for years now. It has the smoothest animation, game flow and by far the best designed controls of all the Hearts games I've tried. It's the only one that offers the exact card animation speed that I prefer. Also,you can tap to skip animations when you want to speed things up. No other game I tried can do that. The UX is so nice, most other Hearts games feel amateurish by comparison. Also, I haven't had any login or other technical problems in years. I came here to leave a 5-star review in appreciation and was shocked to find I had left a harsh 2-star review many years ago and forgot about it. The two highlighted Store reviews are out-of-date (one of them is 4 years old). Yes, the game engine could be improved in a couple places—such as opponents giving up their high hearts too quickly on the hardest mode when it should be obvious you're making a run to shoot the moon. For me, the next hardest mode below that can often be harder to beat. None of the games I've tried have been perfect when it comes to emulating human players of various skill levels. Nevertheless, Aces Hearts is one of the best.

### 3/5 — Aces Spades game

*2023-03-06, version 2.1.7*

Please bring back the Aces spades game!!

### 1/5 — Over heating issue

*2023-02-28, version 2.1.7*

For some reason , this game is starting to over heat my phone.

### 1/5 — Pass on this one

*2022-09-16, version 2.1.7*

Bought the app to remove ads and still get ads. Wrote to developer and no response.

### 4/5 — Best Characters and Animation Ever!

*2022-08-21*

I’m not sure if this developer has abandoned this version of Hearts but it was the best animation of characters!  I used to love to play it all the time, but for some reason it kept on freezing.  I hope the developer has not abandoned this game because it was to good to abandon.

**Developer response:** Hello,I'm glad to hear you like the game! The game is still available on the app store but we don't update the game very often at all. If you're having trouble with the game, you can reach out at support@concretesoftware.com.Thank you,Concrete Software
