### 1/5 — App Freeze

*2022-12-14, version 5.39*

This has been going on for years.  If you close the app at the wrong time it freezes. Ive opened and closed it, tried pressing every option button and nothing. Only way to fix this is to delete the app and reinstall it. You have a flaw in your program that should be addressed.

### 4/5 — A

*2022-05-10, version 5.39*

App loopt dikwijls vast bij mij

### 1/5 — Klasse Kartenspiel

*2021-05-14*

Eigentlich ein tolles Kartenspiel, welches mit Werbung bei mir funktioniert hat. NACH dem Kauf funktioniert leider nichts mehr, bei App-Start sofortiger Absturz. Dies gilt für Hearts und Spades. Andere funktionieren problemlos. Nach einem hoffentlich baldigen Fix werde ich meine Bewertung gerne anpassen.
Der Support hat auch schon geantwortet, nur wenig hilfreich. Das Problem besteht weiterhin. Somit weiterhin nur der eine Stern. 5,60 € für nichts!
Auf meinem iPhone 8 mit aktuellstem iOS das gleiche Bild. Nur diese Apps funktionieren nicht.

### 2/5 — Wenn man länger spielt,

*2017-10-21*

bekommt man die miesesten und grausamsten Karten zugeteilt. . . Grafik ist gut.

### 5/5 — Great Fun

*2015-09-27, version 5.22*

Lots of fun! Addictive!  
Very good game for a free add supported one.  The adds are acceptable.  A full screen add at the end of each game.  Reasonable.

### 1/5 — Do not bother.  Ad after every hand.  Robots dumb as bricks.

*2014-02-19, version 5.09*

Find another.  Period.

### 1/5 — не качать

*2013-03-29*

классические червы с очень навязчивой рекламой. 
виснут после каждой раздачи на 4 паде.

每个手后，在 IPad 上挂起

### 2/5 — Problems with ads

*2013-02-23, version 5.03*

The game itself is nice, however it loads the full-screen ads, which is annoying enough, but then it returns to the game upside down. I'd give the game 4 stars if that was fixed. I've also had issues with freezing (perhaps due to conflicts with an iOS update).

### 1/5 — Orientation issue

*2012-12-30, version 5.03*

Gameplay is good, graphical layout is poor.

Program does not respect orientation of screen.

### 2/5 — Classic!

*2012-10-20, version 5.03*

Nothing better than the classic game of hearts! Ads are a little annoying but it's free and besides, they are easy to skip.

Update 10/19- 
This went from 5 stars down to 2. I know this is a free app and that ads are part of the deal. However, the ads now pop up after every single round! Deleting tonight...too bad
