### 2/5 — The ads 🤦🏻‍♂️

*2026-09-04, version 2026.13*

Yet again booted from a game due to an advert that there’s no escape from. Several times in the past few days now. 
Sort the stallers, quitters and adverts!

### 2/5 — Hearts

*2026-09-04, version 2026.13*

My original review said this:  You can’t get out of the ads fast enough. Either the ads need to be addressed or the time before getting booted needs to be extended.
But here is where we are today:  Apparently the developer could care less.  Now the ads won’t close at all.  You just get stuck. I get booted from every other game due to ads.  Rated games are out of the question because I get booted too often.  Playing on other apps is more fun because you actually get to complete a game.

### 2/5 — Ridiculous glitch

*2026-09-01, version 2026.13*

I’m getting penalized for “abandoning games” even when the game is over and the winner is announced. I’ll click “play again” and a pop up keeps coming up that “you’ve abandoned too many games, you can’t play again for so and so amount of time.” What?????

### 3/5 — Ads Even LONGER Than before!!

*2026-08-31, version 2026.13*

I am removing 2 stars from my previous 5-Star review because your ads are all of a sudden MUCH LONGER and the ads slowly count down, not allowing me to close it and get back to the game. I regularly am booted from the game due to no fault of my own. SUPER FRUSTRATING!!! FIX THIS, PLEASE!

### 1/5 — Horrid game

*2026-08-22, version 2026.12*

Absolutely unbelievable how many adds they expect you to play through. Totally sucks.

### 3/5 — Game cheats

*2026-08-17, version 2026.12*

So many times I have had the Queen dropped on me when it could have gone down on previous people’s tricks , deleted

### 1/5 — Cant dismiss ads

*2026-08-08, version 2026.11*

They take over and you cant clear them, terrible.

### 1/5 — Death by adds…

*2026-08-06, version 2026.11*

I initially enjoyed this app. It’s a great implementation of the card game, however, the amount of adds you’re forced to endure has skyrocketed both in terms of quantity and duration. You can’t get past a single round without being bombarded. I know devs need paid but you will spend more time looking at adds than you will playing the actual game in its current state. Don’t waste your time!

### 1/5 — Hearts

*2026-08-05, version 2026.11*

By far the worst card app ever//Routine get looked into ads and get kicked booted from game even hafta turn phone off 2 get out of app

### 2/5 — Such a shame

*2026-08-05, version 2026.11*

Some adverts are so long that you are kicked off the game. Why is this not rectified? The game is good but adverts have spoilt it.

### 3/5 — To many wimps

*2026-08-03, version 2026.11*

Good game, but to may wimps play. They get the queen of spades and they leave! They should be penalized somehow….banned for the rest of the day, lose double the points.

### 1/5 — Avertissement

*2026-07-30, version 2026.11*

Fortement pas recommandé, ceci n’est pas un jeu de cartes, c’est un site pour regarder des annonce publicitaire lorsque tu reviens dans ton jeu, tu as été éliminée pour ne pas avoir participé du à les annonces commerciales

### 1/5 — Stop working

*2026-07-26, version 2026.11*

The hearts and spades app just stop working I uninstalled and installed the apps still not working I use to love it but I guess I have to find another

### 1/5 — The game’s rigged

*2026-07-25, version 2026.11*

The hands are rigged, the cards it gives are not random. Don’t play

### 1/5 — Glitches and ads

*2026-07-25, version 2026.11*

Non stop glitches that freeze the game and cause you to be booted.  Ads that go on and on and on and on and cause you to be booted. 
Then you get penalized for leaving too many games because of their glitches and ads. 
The AI is worthless. When someone gets booted or leaves you’re stuck with worthless AI that plays like an idiot.

### 1/5 — No more escaping ads

*2026-09-09, version 2026.13*

Money hungry developers. I paid money for no ads. Now they removed it and you have to pay by the day, week or month. Much better apps out there. Do not download this pos

### 1/5 — ai slop

*2026-09-07, version 2026.13*

recently replaced their perfectly functional achievement images they had been using for years with ai-generated slop. do not support ai. one star.

### 1/5 — Constant crashes and bugs

*2026-09-06, version 2026.13*

The allow ads that are longer than the time they allow you to play so you get booted between hands. Even more frequent however is the bug where no ad runs and you just time out before cards are dealt.

### 1/5 — Booted After 1 Hand - Forced Ads During Game

*2026-09-02, version 2026.13*

I downloaded the game and won the first hand.  Then I was forced to watch a 30 second ad mid game between hands.   The other online players didn’t want to wait for me and had the ability to boot me due to being forced to watch an ad mid game.   This is absolutely terrible.  

 There is a ridiculous feature that will allow you to remove ads for a few days at time for a small fee, but that adds up quick.   I believe in supporting the developers, but how about a reasonable one time fee.  Why so greedy?

### 1/5 — Push to buy ad free

*2026-09-01, version 2026.13*

I have been this game for quite a while. Recently I find I’m getting booted from games very regularly because of the way they have changed the ads. They take so long I’m forced out.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-08-31, version 2026.13*

The ads run so long I get booted from the game 
Stupid. I deleted this

### 1/5 — Too many Ads!

*2026-08-29, version 2026.13*

I have enjoyed playing this game for years! It has changed! You used to have to watch an ad after every game, now you have to watch a ad after every hand! It’s not even enjoyable anymore! I deleted it!

### 1/5 — Lost User

*2026-08-28, version 2026.13*

Today the ads changed to a 30 second timer before you could move on. You just lost a long term user.

### 1/5 — Ad after every hand!

*2026-08-24, version 2026.13*

Ad after every hand!
No thanks- best way to lose support. Deleted

### 1/5 — Rated

*2026-08-24, version 2026.12*

AI wrecks the game playing the queen as soon as it is able regardless of whether they are low or high.

### 5/5 — Short ads

*2026-07-03, version 2026.11*

There are ads after each hand. They are short: 10–15 seconds. I actually pay more attention to them unlike longer ones.

Great game
