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. ### 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? ### 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 ! ### 2/5 — Unstable *2020-12-03, version 2.4.1* Frequently has to close the current game for unknown reasons. Eventually the app closes and refuses to open. You have to reload the app. ### 2/5 — Turning of ads *2020-11-01, version 2.4.1* How do I get the ads to stop on the Euchre game!? I paid for the upgrade on the Hearts game and it works fine, but no option on the Eucher ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ### 4/5 — Crashing *2020-07-25, version 2.4.1* After loading newest iOS, hearts now crashes ### 4/5 — Need more players *2020-04-10, version 2.4.1* Great game but too long waiting for players. Advertise more! ### 4/5 — Good Hearts App *2020-03-19, version 2.4.1* Challenging. When you play the offline game a lot, you realize that the underlying algorithm is mainly directed to defeating the human player. Each AI player is only playing to defeat the player and not independently playing to win. It makes it slightly more challenging to win, but even a modest player should achieve a 50% winning rate or higher. ### 4/5 — Like *2019-07-23, version 2.4.1* Fun to play with this app. I like it very much. The only suggestion is to allow automatic play when sometime i want to finish the game by itself. ### 2/5 — Good game, poor execution *2019-05-25, version 2.4.1* Program regularly freezes up midgame. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2019-05-14, version 2.4.1* It crashes too often. ### 3/5 — Rate hearts *2019-05-04, version 2.4.1* Fun but rarely works ### 2/5 — Levels *2019-01-14, version 2.4.1* I would like to know how the 3 levels are set. There seems to be way too much difference from lower level and intermediate P ### 3/5 — Crashes often *2018-10-24, version 2.4.1* Crashes often, but one of the best. ### 3/5 — Wrong Scoring *2018-06-03, version 2.4.1* If I run the hand and pick add 26 to opponents, the person across from me has 26 points deducted, not added. Occasionally this happens to others player randomly. IPhone 7 with latest iOS. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — No one uses this app *2020-11-05, version 2.4.1* This app would be good if anyone else uses it. It takes several minutes just to find an online match and when it does connect you, you’re still playing two bots and one ‘person’,,, stupid. ### 1/5 — Just wrong *2020-08-11, version 2.4.1* Was awarded the Q of spades 7 hands in a row...as a counter. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-07-20, version 2.4.1* Always freezes up and if it doesn’t freeze up, you will wait for 5 to 10 minutes before it finds someone to play with you. Fix these problems and I will be back, until then I am deleting this app. ### 1/5 — Constant Freezing *2020-06-03, version 2.4.1* If I was to rate the app on freezing during games on a scale of 1 to 10, I would say 7. It’s amn annoying 👎🏽👎🏽 ### 1/5 — Game cheats *2020-06-01, version 2.4.1* Exchange of cards is dependent upon what you pass NOT independently as a real game would be. If you are in the lead then impossible hands are dealt and all other players collude to defeat you with knowledge of other players cards. Occasionally it doesn’t cheat. Then somewhat enjoyable. If it cheats, start a new game. OVERWHELMING CHEATS. Game out tree for ulterior motives. Beware ### 1/5 — Useless. *2020-05-23, version 2.4.1* Tells me to log in via game centre, but the app doesn’t even show up in the settings app, and game centre IS logged in. Very frustrating pos. ### 1/5 — Game has a problem *2019-08-23, version 2.4.1* So many times in the middle of a game it says “quit and start a new game as error occurred”....SO FRUSTRATING!!!! Also instead of computer aiming for person with lowest points, it constantly aims for you. ### 1/5 — Great game until it drops *2017-12-26, version 2.4.1* I’ve played this game a long time but recently it drops about 50% of the time... usually when your winning which makes me mad. I hope they can fix the bug soon or I will have to pass this one to the trash pile. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2017-12-12, version 2.4.1* You wait forever for a game. Don't waste your time, you will never play. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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....... ### 5/5 — Rate *2019-06-14, version 2.4.1* Good game, all the other 3 are trying to kill you.iwin at about 50% ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable *2017-02-27, version 2.4.1* Play a lot in evening. Very well done. ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-12-21, version 2.4.1* No gripes - great interface and very playable ### 5/5 — Heart *2016-08-04, version 2.4.1* Excellent ### 5/5 — Fun with few flaws *2016-02-12, version 2.3.2* Way better than other hearts games I have tried. ### 5/5 — Hearts *2015-12-01, version 2.3.2* Lots of fun, I play the game all the time ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-10-05, version 2.3.2* Amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
