### 3/5 — Hearts is mostly fine

*2025-01-10*

The game has plenty of options that allow the user to customize their experience. The two things I’d like to see improved are the score location and new game button location.  The score is sometimes covered up when dealing with why not just don’t cover the score? The new game button is CONSTANTLY getting activated by simply holding the phone in landscape. Those of us with large hands suffer! And it’s annoying.

### 3/5 — Bought to avoid Ads, AI is not close to reality

*2024-07-29*

I’ve played a lot of hearts and I had a “free” app I really like but got sick of the ads - this one had great reviews but I regret spending the $. There is NO WAY players can shoot the moon as often as it happens in this game. Very frustrating.

### 2/5 — No landscape mode since last update

*2022-09-24*

Has worked fine for years. Now no landscape mode

### 4/5 — Great game, but …

*2022-02-01*

I’ve reviewed this game before, and the one thing I have always considered to be a flaw remains uncorrected … the computer shoots the moon too frequently; sometimes several times in a game, sometimes on successive hands by the same player.  This just doesn’t happen in real life. 

I consider myself to be a reasonably skillful player, but I can seldom beat the computer, largely because of how frequently it shoots the moon.  In my opinion it takes the fun out of the game.

### 3/5 — Nettes Spiel, schlechte KI...

*2020-09-27*

... den diese läßt den Spieler „Nord“ immer zu 50% gewinnen. Egal wie oft man spiel sieht man in der Statistik das Nord dann im Schnitt um die 50% zum Vergleich mit den anderen Spielern gewonnen hat. Während des Spieles hat man gelegentlich sogar den Eindruck das die KI drauf reagiert wenn man (Spieler Süd) zu gut spielt und dan haben sie die anderen Spieler alle die besseren Karten. Oder haben einen „Durchmarsch“ sprich spielen zu schlecht und bekommen einem Punktebonus. Das ist wirklich auffällig. Schade sonst finde ich es gut Programiert. Bei der KI bitte nachbessern dann gib’s mehr Punkte für das Geld.

### 5/5 — Worlds greatest hearts player

*2020-08-31*

I have tested many many hearts apps. Hearts gold is ranked number one in mechanics, layout and options. Their robot play is sometimes quite predictable.

### 4/5 — Needs features

*2020-04-21*

I would like ability to have game stop before each trick is taken. Often my attention has to be elsewhere when the trick is finished and thus I miss seeing all the cards on the trick.

I would also like the ability to not have the 2 Clubs lead, instead having the player to the left of the dealer lead. This would add another option, to allow dirt to be thrown on the first trick to prevent the players leading the A or K of Spades with impunity. 

Would love to play this hearts game vs friends on the web as it is the best Hearts game I have found.

Add these three options and it is easily a 5 Star game!

### 5/5 — IMO the best of all HEARTS games in the App Store

*2020-01-10*

Game Logic, Reliability, Options, Graphics ... very good and fun to play!

### 5/5 — Well-designed, AI only so-so

*2019-12-01*

I really like how well-designed this game is. Very customizable and smooth-playing. I’ve tried several iOS Hearts games and this is the best implementation I’ve seen yet. 

I’m still looking for a Hearts game that is truly challenging though. I’m a good Hearts player, but by no means great, and I can beat the computer players nearly every time (I’m at over 70% wins). In this particular version, the players seem to be obsessed with either trying to Shoot the Moon, or preventing anyone else from doing so.

### 4/5 — Great Practice

*2019-09-12*

In a way, this game is great practice for playing Hearts in the real world, because there’s no way the actual laws of mathematical probability will ever put it to you this consistently. Cards that you pass to one opponent will mysteriously appear in another’s hand, to your disadvantage. You will get high hearts, but not enough to shoot the moon, and so on. For all that, it’s a good tool for learning the game, because it takes clever play to beat it.

### 5/5 — Hearts gold review

*2019-08-23, version 6.8.0*

I enjoy this version however there is one flaw in the software , that I have reported repeatedly, that has never been corrected.
You can play hearts before they have been broken if the only hearts and the queen of spades remain. In settings I have set the other option that you must play the queen first to break hearts.

### 5/5 — Somethings wrong

*2019-04-02*

I have not been able to play since the update two weeks ago. Fully updated iPhone X and 2018 iPad Pro.

I have restarted the devices, restarted the game, and reinstalled - nothing works. 

Please get it fixed, I usually play daily!

### 5/5 — Stopped

*2019-03-23, version 6.7.0*

This app will play one game and then freezes.  Support will not connect.  I suppose they have just walked away.

Well i will walk to another app.

There needs to be legislation about apps.  They can do what they like and we just suffer.

### 5/5 — New version doesn’t work

*2019-03-22*

I have to keep deleting it and reinstalling it. Otherwise it won’t start.

### 5/5 — What’s up?

*2019-03-21*

Been loving this game for years.  Last few days I play a few games and it freezes up.  I delete the app, go to the App Store, redownload,  play a few games and it freezes up again.  Help!

### 1/5 — The interface has changed for the worse.

*2025-09-26*

When everything is so good and convenient, why change anything? Where you could select any option in the menu with one click, you now have to click the drop-down menu in the corner, which hides the playing cards.

### 1/5 — Don’t believe the no ad for the bundle

*2021-08-19*

I purchased this with some other games in a bundle, it said no ads, after playing the first game guess what? Ads. With an option to pay for no ads! Well I thought I already did!

### 1/5 — Freezes up

*2019-03-23*

Three times I had to throw away this game and download again. Needs to fix this bug,  it was my favorite version. Too frustrating to play with that keep happening.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-01-10, version 6.5.0*

It froze up just trying to change the backs of the cards.  That was a quick waste of $3.

### 1/5 — Die letzte Karte nicht automatisch ausspielen!!!

*2018-11-02*

Ich frage mich echt was das für ein Support ist, bekommen die es nicht mal gebacken das hinzubekommen das die letzte Karte nicht automatisch gespielt wird. Das ging doch vorher auch und ist jetzt voll nervig ☹️

### 1/5 — Terrible Game

*2018-07-01*

The three AI opponents are just plain stupid when it comes to passing cards. So frustrating to play against the three of them.  I’ve had multiple games where AI’s have “shot the moon” 2-3 times in a single game as they pass between each other. They apparently never pass a low heart between themselves. Strange that when I pass to an AI they never shoot the moon unless I purposely give them cards to help them do so since it would then allow me to win. Time to look for a new game manufacture.

### 1/5 — Macht KEINEN Spaß

*2018-04-25*

Hinweis für „alle Karten anzeigen“ lässt sich nicht bestätigen, stürzt permanent ab. Absolute Frechheit.

### 1/5 — Update makes it worse

*2015-06-25, version 3.5.0*

The updated animations are useless and make game play slower.  The change of card suites makes them less easy to distinguish at a glance. Wish I could undo the update.

### 1/5 — Hearts

*2014-09-29, version 2.9.0*

I thoroughly enjoy this Hearts game. Get rid of those ridiculous knights at the end of the game. The newest update is good, except the knights at the end of the game. Listen to your customers

### 1/5 — Where are the rules

*2010-07-20, version 0*

I like this app but I can't seem to find any rules.

### 5/5 — Almost perfect hearts app

*2026-04-18, version 26.0.0*

After downloading 20 other hearts apps, this is the only one that is truly ad free.  It is very good, and it has a good difficulty range.  The only very slightly criticism is that I don’t understand why cards would be sorted high to low (left to right) within your hand.  I’ve never seen this before.  If this tiny detail could be sorted it would be perfect

### 5/5 — Sehr gut

*2025-05-31*

Dieses Spiel begleitet mich schon seit vielen Jahren .
Ich kann es sehr empfehlen.

### 5/5 — Near perfect version.

*2024-05-24, version 8.6.0*

I bought this as part of a bundle as it worked out that you got 5 games for the same price as one. 
To be fair all 5 games are good even if I don’t really understand one of them!! 
Anyway, Hearts+ is a very good version of the game with plenty of options, good graphics and gameplay is great. 
The only option missing for me is the ability to sort the cards in your hand from low to high rather than high to low. Not a deal breaker, just something I’ve got used to, and most of the plethora of other Hearts versions on the App Store seem to adopt the low to high sorting option as well. 
The other bonus with this version, is for less than the price of a coffee it is totally ad and tracker free, which for me is something I try and look for when selecting apps. Remember if it’s free your paying for it somehow!! 
Don’t forget to check the bundle for the other games as you could potentially grab a bargain by buying the bundle and getting 5 for the price of 1…
I’ve downloaded and tried most of the Hearts games on the App Store and this is the best version available in my opinion. 
Get it, you won’t regret it.

### 5/5 — Best solitaire collection I have ever found

*2024-04-23*

Solitaire Till Dawn has at least a hundred different games, some easy, some really hard. I have had it for decades, actually, and I always port it to my latest laptop. The layout is excellent, too. The guy who developed it did it more out of love for the games than for money, so it has a lot of extras.

### 5/5 — Best Score

*2023-11-25*

You should be able to see and save your best score, highest and lowest

### 5/5 — Update: Fixed: Doesn’t fit to no notch iPhone

*2023-09-30*

Fixed: Doesn’t fit to no notch iPhone.

### 5/5 — Hearts

*2023-08-17, version 8.3.2*

Tremendous game!

### 5/5 — Hearts Gold

*2021-06-16*

Sehr schönes Spiel. 
Viele Möglichkeiten um das Spiel zu starten.
Gebe  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sterne

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-06-15*

One problem. I know I’m playing against computer but sometimes it knows the end of the hand before it’s played and sometimes I know it lets me win. I think I do. Could this be true?
