And I love the fact that there are no ads. But having to do a double click to play a card is a little irritating. I’ve played probably six other games and none of them have a double tap. You just have to select the card and it plays it. that’s the only thing I don’t like about the game. ### 2/5 — It’s ok, not great, but ok *2022-11-21, version 2.08* I bought this game as my current favorite hearts game is free ware and has ads after every hand. I wanted to be able to play Hearts without having to watch a commercial every round. Unfortunately, this paid version lacks the polish and ease of use. While it does work, it’s just not as easy to use and not as rich with the graphics. I may just go back to the free ware app and deal with all of the annoying commercial ads. ### 3/5 — Needs change *2022-06-13, version 2.08* Should be able to shoot moon without catching jack of diamonds. Never seen your version before and don’t like it. Also no way to vary difficulty, and it’s harder to win than against real players — seriously good ones. ### 3/5 — Love the game but REALLY BAD AND LONG ADS *2022-06-09, version 2.08* Ads run for several minutes between game. Some ads have LOUD music/talk even when you select “no sound” for actual game. ### 4/5 — Good but could be the best *2022-06-06, version 2.08* When a player has 26 points game should end at that point. No value to force more play! ### 3/5 — Hearts *2022-06-05, version 2.08* I like the old version better, the new version is small and hard to read. Although I do think the new version is more challenging, which I like. ### 2/5 — Very annoying! *2021-12-17, version 2.08* I hate it that you are often forced to lose, unable to do anything to avoid it! ### 4/5 — Hearts is fun *2021-12-05, version 2.08* It forces you to lose more than you would in a live card game. The odds are not realistic. That is my only complaint. Otherwise enjoy playing. ### 4/5 — Love it. *2021-12-04, version 2.08* I’ve played this version for years. I’m addicted. The new font that appeared this morning is smaller making it harder to differentiate the suits. I don’t care for it as well. ### 4/5 — Enjoy *2021-08-24, version 2.01* Think the extra step of having to tap on the screen to play a chosen card is unnecessary. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Odds Defying Deals *2025-11-13, version 2.08* This program makes many mathematically incredible deals both when the cards are dealt and when they are played. Go for Shoot the Moon opportunities come along way too often and when I think of the odds, the slight chance of what could happen at the very worst of course does happen over and over. It’s simplistic. It doesn’t even have many options like speeding up the deal when the hand is over or keeping track of any stats. This app is just about as you could get for free and in some ways not even that good. ### 1/5 — Don’t upgrade to premium, only an iPhone version *2025-04-04, version 2.08* Upgraded iPad version to premium to remove adds. But the premium version is iPhone only and no dedicated app. Must load non-premium version to then open premium version. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Not Random *2024-11-09, version 2.08* I can tell within a few hands who’s going to win. This is not random, as any card game should be. ### 1/5 — Hearts premium *2024-09-22, version 2.08* Good game but continuous interruptions with screen freezing and pop ups “ want to end this game and start a new one. Numerous messages to optime but no solution given ### 1/5 — Cards look WORSE THAN the FREE version *2024-08-23, version 2.08* I played their free version of Hearts for a while now, so figured I might as well buy the ad-free version. But this version is not actually just an ad-free version of the free one. I mean, the GUI and game options are identical (so no bonus other than skipping ads). But the cards in the paid version look MUCH WORSE. They appear to be lower resolution and have a muddy look to them. From the first time I opened the app I HATED it. I wish I got my money back, because I didn’t expect a worse version of the free app. I don’t even know if this one actually skips ads or not, I can’t play through it because the cards make it feel like my eyes are going bad. Still playing the free version. Actively looking for alternatives…The free version plays a lot of ads for other companies Hearts game, which is a hint I guess ### 1/5 — Difficulty Playing a Card *2024-03-01, version 2.08* Sometimes I try to play a card and it takes many attempts. I have to tap the card until my finger hurts. I expect more from a paid app. ### 1/5 — Poorly done *2023-12-07, version 2.08* Always three against the player - of you can't set up an honest game then get someone who can! I gave you 1 star because I had to to send the review - you don't deserve it. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2023-02-28, version 2.08* I’ve paid for no ads upgrade still every time I open it I have to go through ads. ### 1/5 — Too f&@$&&g hard! *2022-11-25, version 2.08* I just want a good game. The other players take turns getting impossible cards to compete with, most of the time. Another player takes almost all the points and ends the game. It does not seem like random delt cards. ### 1/5 — Game cheats *2021-10-15, version 2.01* The computer players make moves that no one would ever make unless they knew your cards. I have played hundreds of games of hearts with real people and no one plays in the manner the computer plays this game. The game play is smooth and can be played at a high speed, but the computer continuously cheats and ruins the fun of a good game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Options Hearts *2024-09-27, version 2.08* I am disgusted because I could not get adds off my iPad. I do love playing the game. ### 5/5 — Get this game *2024-07-10, version 2.08* A must for lovers of card games Ive played every version of this game this the best ### 5/5 — Hearts *2023-08-12, version 2.08* Number one app ### 5/5 — Enjoy so much ch this game *2022-08-17, version 2.08* Really worth it. Feel we are playing with other players. ### 5/5 — Hearts ain’t smart!! *2022-02-03, version 2.08* Best free hearts game going!! ### 5/5 — Hearts *2021-12-21, version 2.08* I am hooked ### 5/5 — Love it-love it- love it *2021-12-19, version 2.08* Great game. I play every night. The scoring needs to track your winning stats and how many times you shoot the moon. It would then be perfect. Mimi in Atlanta, GA ### 5/5 — Hearts *2021-12-17, version 2.08* This is the old version I hope they don’t change it ### 5/5 — Hearts Premium *2021-12-03, version 2.08* Great HD visuals! Wish there was way to end hand when you know you have the remaining points or when all points played. ### 5/5 — Hearts Review. I enjoy the game, but it is predictable when you are ahead the cards get harder to th *2021-12-03, version 2.08* I enjoy playing the game. I waste a lot of time playing. Keep up the programs. I wish the game had automatic end when all hearts and queen spades have taken. Great game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
