### 1/5 — Doesn’t’ work online

*2026-02-11, version 2.4.1*

Why it doesn’t work,only 1 time I’ve been able to play online then impossible,please fix it or I’ll erase it

### 2/5 — ♥️

*2025-12-30, version 2.4.1*

I am tired of the computer constantly sending me the cards that I don’t want!
This is a very frustrating game, to the point I’ve am looking at other hearts games to play!

### 3/5 — Love it, but recurring bug

*2024-08-29, version 2.4.1*

Play daily.  Quite like it.

But, on iPad mini, it exits immediately on startup, and must be deleted and reloaded.  Quite tiresome.

Otherwise 5 stats.  Hope the bug gets fixed.

### 5/5 — Favourite

*2024-01-03, version 2.4.1*

Still my favourite.  The play, the looks, keep me returning to it.  Allowing -26 for control hands is a big plus.  
Computer players have a good balance with reasonable skill but not always giving away control and not always just playing aggressively.  
Best for ads that don’t always intrude on game play.  
I would like an auto play button for the times I know all the cards I have left are in sequence, for example, and their order will not matter.  
All in all, a great game.

### 3/5 — Auto computer passes are rigged

*2023-08-14, version 2.4.1*

Is there any way I can stop that biased automatic computer passes during a online Hearts game?

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2022-11-17, version 2.4.1*

This game is fun but will eventually kick you out and never allow you back in.

### 5/5 — Hearts On Line

*2022-09-19, version 2.4.1*

I love this game and I think it is the best one available(not sure if it is available any longer but I have it and am very happy that I do). The one problem that seems to occur often is the game either freezes or it kicks a player out on the live game and then it most if the time won't let you finish your game which then wasted your time. That is my only complaint. A great game and I love it.......

### 3/5 — Needs tuning

*2021-06-29, version 2.4.1*

There is no way a person who plays hearts would ever make some of the moves the game does. At times it feels like the other 3 hands are all playing as one against you.

### 4/5 — An incomparable favorite.

*2021-04-07, version 2.4.1*

I enjoy this game and play at least once a day.

### 2/5 — Unfortunately disconnects

*2021-02-19, version 2.4.1*

App Seems pretty good .. slick interface and allows me to play with friends online.
Sadly the app has “disconnected” one player as we get near the end of game, and with no option to rejoin.
Real shame .. could be perfect otherwise !
