Now, it’s just tedious. You have to hit at least 4-5 x’s just to get back to the game. Finally had to delete. They just made me mad. ### 2/5 — ADs ADs ADs *2026-05-07, version 2.17* If you play this game free, prepare for endless, difficult to dismiss, long ads. The annoyance factor is 9 / 10. The game itself is quite good. ### 2/5 — The programmer’s intentions are easily seen in the games *2026-02-22, version 2.17* You find that, as another person mentioned, the other “players” don’t play the way they would normally, so the game basically becomes a crapshoot. ### 2/5 — Bots cheat/collude against single *2025-07-29, version 2.17* Bots cheat/collude against single player. It’s so obvious it ruins the game and makes it unlike a hearts game IRL ### 3/5 — Great game…..BUT *2024-10-09* I wish I could give this game a better rating, because of all the hearts game of tried, I had high hopes for this one. But after playing it for quite a while, I began to notice that on occasion, after a round of play, suddenly the accumulated points another player had suddenly became mine. Obviously this is unacceptable so I messaged the software company twice about the error…no responses. Clearly they could care less that their product was faulty. ### 3/5 — Best Hearts Free game except *2024-05-03, version 2.17* An ad for travel town displays and there is no way to get Out Of it unless I delete the hearts app and reload. Then after a couple of games travel town ad comes up And high jacks the game ! ### 1/5 — Worst tech ever *2024-01-04, version 2.15* You need someone to fix your game! There are 4 players but you pit your 3 avatars against whomever is playing, instead of operating a fair game. ### 1/5 — WAy too many ads *2023-11-26, version 2.15* Too many ads some even pop up mid game. Very disruptive. ### 2/5 — The hearts players *2023-10-25, version 2.15* Give no attention to who is low or high they will dump the Queen on anyone ### 1/5 — Heart app *2023-03-13, version 2.12* Keep getting negative numbers for scores messing up the game ### 3/5 — Built in bias *2023-03-10, version 2.12* I had another version of this game which I was happy with until and IOS update ruined the layout. This game has an inbuilt bias. I have been monitoring it in case I was imagining it but I have found that a certain player hardly ever loses while the user player will end up with the dreaded Queen of Spades over and over again. I am now almost able to play a card knowing how the algorithm will workout. Very frustrating. I will be deleting the app. ### 1/5 — The ads for other stupid games drive me crazy and you cannot just close the file. *2023-03-08, version 2.12* Same as the above. The three minute ads that repeat continuously drive me crazy. If I wanted to play a 2nd grade fish card game I would get that ap. I know you have to pay for your ap somehow but ass7me some level of intelligence and let us opt out without watching the same ad 500 times. ### 2/5 — Awful adverts *2023-03-01, version 2.12* Disruptive, annoying, interrupting play,all around bummer ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads more ads *2026-08-20, version 2.17* Almost unplayable. If you look at another app, have to watch an ad to get back on. ### 1/5 — Don’t Bother. *2026-06-14, version 2.17* You get to play Hearts for a short time. Then you get shanghaied to some other game I have zero interest in. Waste of time. This developer sucks. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-06-09, version 2.17* 2 ads before the app even launched. I had to go to the App Store from the first add to make it go away. ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads more ads *2026-01-25, version 2.17* Used to be good, now I’m looking for another. If the screen closes, watch another ad ### 1/5 — Can’t leave ads *2026-01-19, version 2.17* Once an ad starts, it stays. Leaving ap is only exit. Sucks big time. ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2025-06-24, version 2.17* Way too many ads that run for way too long. You would think after 200 times of not buying an app from their ads, they would stop displaying it. I LIKE playing hearts, I don’t NEED to play hearts, nor do I need to spend as much time watching ads as I play hearts. Absolute garbage! ### 1/5 — Too many dumb ads *2024-05-17, version 2.17* Above ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2024-04-30, version 2.17* The thing is free; I knew there would be ads. But when you open the game up and the VERY first thing it does is play an ad, that’s not a good sign! Do not go to the game menu, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars. Deleted ### 1/5 — No fun anymore *2024-03-25, version 2.17* Tooooooo many commercials!!!! ### 1/5 — Ruined by adverts *2024-02-27, version 2.17* Adverts too long .. switch off do something else ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Scoring *2026-05-16, version 2.17* Scoring is not accurate. Please fix problem. Thanks ### 5/5 — Hearts *2026-04-29, version 2.17* I play everyday. I then go on to do the crossword puzzles. Great entertainment for the start of my day. ### 5/5 — Hearts HD! *2024-11-29, version 2.17* Great game but is a no ads available. ### 5/5 — Optima Hearts *2024-09-24, version 2.17* Love the game but not the advertisements. Also I couldn’t find settings. ### 5/5 — Better than other versions *2024-09-24, version 2.17* Only 1 ad when you first open the app, after that, none. Most versions put up ads between every hand. Game play as expected for Hearts. No complaints ### 5/5 — Excellent game - really good training for card counting *2024-08-12, version 2.17* Very slick game that lets you win just enough times on the hard setting. No obvious bugs. One suggestion - if the 26 points have already been accrued before the last trick, you could switch straight to the score board and not play out the pointless tricks ### 5/5 — HD HEARTS *2024-02-20, version 2.17* Great game, use it to keep my mind active...competitive without blowing you out, at least with middle level. The robot is tough ### 5/5 — Hearts *2022-07-30, version 2.11* A great game to keep you occupied and interested.most enjoyable ### 5/5 — Fun and challenging *2022-07-06, version 2.10* Helps your brain and is a super challenge . ### 5/5 — Hearts *2022-04-13, version 2.10* Much fun! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
