### 1/5 — Love

*2018-07-11*

Two mean players in chat room bringing this whole game down. Too many players are leaving because of them. Terlingua & lock her up. Hard to believe they are allowed to continue playing.

### 1/5 — Limbo

*2018-07-10*

Worst site I have ever been on.  A lot of bickering all the time all stemming from 1 or 2 people who get away with it.  Web developer sides with 1 in particular that ruined the site for having great interactions with people.  So many people have left.

### 1/5 — Not feeling the love

*2017-02-04*

While the Hearts game is amusing, the inexplicable way the game quits is not. During play the app will close and return me to the IPhone icons screen. Clicking the game icon opens a brand new game. Frustrating.

### 1/5 — Hearts

*2015-11-30*

They cheat all the time they tell you passed to the left and then all of a sudden they make u do something else. There's only one bad review and they say there's not enough to evaluate L OL

### 1/5 — Rules of the game is not really followed

*2015-11-07*

The actual rules of the game is not followed by this app. The heart cards are suddenly able to be led when the queen of spades is placed down? Not correct. Also, the one with the highest number card takes the stack. This app doesn't care and makes you take the stack anyway. I had a two of diamonds and some put down a ten of diamonds but I still took the stack because the queen of spades was placed down. Again, not correct. Finally, there were times where you would select you card to place down but it doesn't move even if you tap it several times. Basically, the rules of the game needs to be corrected and the selecting bug really needs to be fix before this app will be considered a good to play.

### 2/5 — Needs a little work

*2015-11-02*

Sorry not what I was looking for, I'm going to delete

### 1/5 — Way too easy to win

*2014-01-07*

Bad algorithm
Players lead with queen spades often

### 1/5 — Does not work smoothly

*2012-07-18*

Not working well...does not always let you move the card...etc.
Deleting!

### 1/5 — Constant freezing

*2026-01-17*

This is happening more and more. I have to delete and then reinstall the app to get it to work. I also,paid to have extra background screens and cannot access them

### 1/5 — Not balanced cards, definitely rigged

*2025-02-13*

Certain players are blessed with getting good hands a lot. Non favored players get horrible cards. Way more than law of averages, more than coincidence. Once you realize the game is rigged there is no interest in playing at this site, totally pointless!! I’ve played this site a lot & seen the same kind of outcomes that is beyond coincidence!!!

### 1/5 — Hearts

*2025-01-03*

Doesn’t keep your stats like it’s supposed to and the help icon is unresponsive

### 1/5 — Foul mouthed abusive players ruined the game.

*2024-10-10*

Too many juvenile, rude, foul mouthed players and no moderation.

### 1/5 — Brutal players

*2023-08-11*

The dumbest players with zero clue on how to play correctly . They dont know how to pass . They cant read the cards . They don’t understand position to trap low . The drop queen on high score . They chase a rating system that needs uou to play all night and day . They love second place

### 1/5 — Latest iOS update ruins layout

*2023-03-10, version 2.6.3*

The cards which used to be rowed at the bottom are now across the middle of the screen.

### 1/5 — Very addictive, but now faulty

*2023-02-22*

I have enjoyed playing this game for several months. Today I encountered a problem. When a card is laid, it is sometimes not displayed. This has happened on the card I lay, the player to the left, and the player to the right. It has occurred 4 times in a single game. This game is running on IOS11.2.1; I have not encountered the problem on an older iPad running on iOS 9.

I am also a bit disgruntled with the way the app rearranges the cards to look pretty part way through a game. Several times I have pressed a location on the keyboard only to find that at the instant I press it, the cards have shuffled and I play a card that is disastrous.

The problem with the missing cards has got worse, now occurs several times in one game rather than occasionally. Also following the latest changes, how is a change of 4 a low-scoring hand in some cases, but scores of 1,2, or 4 are high-scoring hands. This is unnecessary nonsense - put it back as it was before.

Update Feb2023 - after being OK for several months, the missing card problem has reappeared. This has occurred several times in one game, and has occurred in successive games. It’s bad enough trying to remember which cards have been played, without having to guess. The game is now unplayable.

### 1/5 — APP developer clicky

*2021-03-23*

The developer of this app is way to clicky and protective of just a few players. There is no way to contact the developer unless you are one of the clicks he protects. Too much censoring of words and not just foul swear words. I am silenced in the game, not allowed to communicate, not allowed to select my own name..the developer makes me use the name I Love Hearts. Ha! Not his Hearts APP. Because I defied his chosen ones. Th clicky’s! The game cards are rigged for the developers clicky’s! Don’t waste your time on this APP. There is a far better one which also has chat and several other games.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t synch

*2019-09-19*

The app doesn’t such with Game Center, so it does not carry over data to other devices.

### 1/5 — Poor game with many discriminating features

*2019-05-01*

This game will discriminate against players when selecting multi player and for no explicable reason will put you in a non scoring game against computer players

### 5/5 — Great NO ADS

*2013-05-09*

Had this for ages on iMac, love it!

Installed it on iPad mini, just as good

### 4/5 — Getting kicked out

*2024-12-29*

I really like this app and have played it for several years. However, for the last few weeks I am getting inexplicably kicked out of the game. If I try to make a comment (in the lobby or during a multiplayer game) I will get kicked out and the App closes. Sometimes I will get kicked out and the App will close when I choose a card to play. I am hoping that Mr Shelly can sort this out as I would really like to return to playing this game.

### 4/5 — Love this game! But please fix.

*2023-03-14*

I love this game and probably play it everyday. But for some reason, recently, it doesn’t put my cards on the bottom like in the picture (they are further up with one card going to the next line). Other players cards in the middle now covers some of mine. I have iPad Pro 3rd generation with the latest iOS 16.3.1. I don’t know if the latest iOS update made this occur, but please update the program. Would be glad to send picture if requested by email.

### 4/5 — Too Easy!

*2016-04-23*

I have played hearts on the computer with Heartland Hearts and I win some and lose some or come in second or third. With 25-30 games played, I have only had one second place. All others I won with scores of 12 to 40. Most scores were under 25. I'm good at this but not that good. It would be good to have different levels that one can select. Other than that I thought the game played well except I don't really want to win every time. I'm working on another technique. Can I win without taking any points.

### 3/5 — Good game. BadbTech

*2025-04-20*

I enjoy this app, but it freezes on my new iPad after using it for a few games so I have delete and download repeatedly. Never had a problem w my previous iPad

### 3/5 — HeartsFree

*2018-12-24*

I really like the concept of this game and play it very often. But it  has so many problems that it is very frustrating to play. The creator of the game is bound to know about the many inconsistencies, too many to list here. I would like to continue playing this game as I have been, but it is a little difficult. I hope it gets better so we can continue playing. Believe me...I am not alone! Thank you.

### 3/5 — Not bad but...

*2017-04-16*

While better than other Hearts games, it's still a software. After a while, I felt like Neo and could see the Matrix. I don't have hallucinations and see the lines of code, but I see the patterns in the programming quite clearly. The queen of spades too often comes at the worst moments and card distribution is not realistic. 
Still it's stable and no annoying ads, so that's a plus. 
It would be nice to be able to choose your partners in the live game and stay with them for several games.

### 3/5 — Cindy

*2014-01-17*

I downloaded this game but when I click to open it, the title page appears and then the screen goes dark.

### 3/5 — Won't display in landscape mode

*2013-09-24*

Used it be able to use the game in landscape mode

### 2/5 — Broken hearts!!

*2019-08-31*

I love this game and have been playing for many years. My understanding of the rules says that you cannot lead with a heart unless the suit has been broken or you don’t have any other suit cards in your hand. I have found on this game, that while I cannot lead a heart unless it’s broken, the computer can lead at any time with a heart. I think there’s a glitch in an otherwise great app.
