Hearts scores incorrectly

Love the game options, but scoring for the game of hearts is wrong. If you get a control in hearts your score is supposed to go down by 26(because you won the hand) not UP by 26 making you the loser of the hand. Conversely the winners hand can stay at the same score and the other players scores can go up by 26 but this does not happen.

So wished it worked

My husband and I downloaded this app on my iphone 15 and maybe his 11 or 12?. Choosing host worked but we never could play because the app crashed when we tried to join, even though we were clearly connected no matter which game we tried. Bummer on our flight! Maybe Eugene can help?

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback — I know how frustrating that must have been, especially on a flight. I’ve completely rewritten the app’s networking to make connections much more stable. Please try version 5.0 and let me know if it solves the problem for you. I’d love to hear how it goes!

Good Game

My husband and I enjoy playing hearts with the “bots” but we have a question regarding scoring/rules and a few small critiques. Hearts rules do not allow a player to play a heart or the queen of spades on the first hand…but this game allows it. And several times we have “run the cards” taking all the tricks, we are penalized with 26 points and two other players with 52. Possibly having a link to each games rules? Again, love the app…but would like to have a way to contact support. Thanks!

Response from developer

Oh yikes! I'll look into this.

Very polished

Extremely well-done and easy to use. No ads and fully functional. Wish it were available for Android but I understand cross-platform is hard.

Paid for the game but keeps crashing

I paid for the game but it still keeps crashing when I play judgement with the robots. Please fix.

Response from developer

This is now fixed in v4.31, available today. Thank you for letting me know and apologies it took so long to track down!
