Please fix this. ### 3/5 — Used to love it but… *2022-09-20* I used to love playing this game but since you updated it, my game keeps crashing and I have to start all over again. There are also too many ads which also keep freezing. It’s gotten so bad that I can’t even complete a 100 point game anymore. Seeing as how I am not the only one complaining about this problem, please correct these glitches. Otherwise, I’m going to have to delete your game. ### 2/5 — Why change a good thing? Almost a 1 star. *2022-06-04* I’ve been playing this game for a few years. Off and on. It’s a mindless game I use to just tune out for a while. But with this last upgrade either in the game or with latest iOS update I want to delete it because if the massive increase of ads! Before the update it was an ad every few rounds and it only took a few seconds for the ‘x’ would show up to exit out. Now, it’s an ad after each round AND you have to click up to five times to get out of the ad!!! Why!?!?!? Leave well enough alone. We already have to click out of the ad, why make it five times as hard and two times as often! Why did you ruin such a good game?!?! Now, I know that game developers/companies get money when ads are part of their game play, but why is it so important to ruin a game with increases like this when you had such a good thing going already? What’s the point? Do you want us to get frustrated and delete the game? Because that’s what will likely happen. And I’ll be wary of the future games put out by these game developers. Just quit it with the ads as often and quit making it take twice as long to click out of them. Oh, and it’s a lot more glitchy now. Quits more often and there are mini flashes during the game play where the cars are sitting on the screen. I could live with these two irritations but the ads? IDK. ### 4/5 — Shimmering queen *2021-07-28, version 1.4.2* Fix the game! The ads are freezing up! 🥲 ### 4/5 — Hearts *2021-01-29* Takes a little bit of time to know how to play your turn. ### 3/5 — Does not save progress during game *2020-08-22* This app would be 5 stars if only I was able to finish a game! Every time I exit out of the app the game restarts. There is no way to pause the game. ### 3/5 — Scrunched Cards Are Problematic *2020-04-08* As has been noted in other reviews the cards all scrunched together is a problem, a big problem. Same goes for the double tap on the cards. The other MAJOR issue is that you’re dealt the cards with the Diamonds right next to the Hearts. Who does that IRL? No one! The cards should appear in your hand with Clubs on the left, then Diamonds, then Spades followed by Hearts on the right. It’s that simple. ### 4/5 — Spades card game *2020-04-05, version 1.4.2* I like this simple card game ### 4/5 — Suits...? *2020-01-06* I’d give it a 5 stern review if they’d change one thing... in your hand they have Hearts and a Diamonds next to each other. You cannot simply glance at your hand and see the different suits. This is the only app I’ve played that does it this way. Other ham that, I love this app. I even paid the no ad price. ### 4/5 — Hearts *2019-12-31, version 1.4.2* A game ### 2/5 — Hearts *2019-07-30, version 1.4.2* Fun🎉 ### 4/5 — A lot of ads! *2019-06-11, version 1.4.2* A lot of ads! ### 1/5 — Awful *2019-05-22, version 1.4.2* Nobody would play hearts as this is programmed. ### 1/5 — Phishing *2019-05-13* I love this game but when I play it I get a message saying that my phone is locked and to contact apple support immediately and my screen can not be used due to a phone number flashing on the screen. I called apple support directly and they told me that my account is fine and that the number I was being told to call is NOT an apple number. This is a phishing scam and I have deleted the app and will not use any app from this company again ### 4/5 — Fun but drains battery fast *2019-04-30* Best hearts game so far but battery drains fast even on low power mode, please fix with update. **Developer response:** Hi Dwriter729, thanks for playing Hearts and for your review.

It is annoying. I like the game otherwise. ### 2/5 — CRASH *2018-09-15* The system keeps crashing. Crashed four times in a row mid game. Not sure what's going on. it's fun but you probably won't have the opportunity to complete the game because it keeps crashing!!!!!!!!! **Developer response:** Hi CrisGurl6, thanks for your review! Sorry to hear that you are experiencing a technical issue. We are here for you! Please email us at contact@maplemedia.io and we can look into this issue for you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Locked in ad *2024-08-21, version 1.4.3* I get about three hands into the game and an ad pops up and locks the screen. When I come back about an hour later it starts a new game. ### 1/5 — Rosie *2024-05-20, version 1.4.3* All your ads are burning up my phone!😡 ### 1/5 — I’m done! *2024-01-23* The ads just freeze and all you can do is delete the app. I’ve tried numerous times to reinstall it but the same thing keeps happening!! Extremely frustrating- so I’m done. ### 1/5 — Too many ads for games *2022-06-09, version 1.4.3* It was good until maplemedia took over and the annoying games ads keep on going. ### 1/5 — Was a great game but then…. *2022-06-09* Loved this game but latest update and it crashes constantly and the ads…so many ads. Every hand there are adds. Even if you “buy” to skip the adds they still pop up. They’ve ruined the app. ### 1/5 — Horrible continuous ad for game apps *2022-06-06, version 1.4.3* It was a good app until it changed to maple media. Too many continuous long ad for App games!! ### 1/5 — Something changed *2022-06-05* This was fine until today when they put up an ad after every hand. Not after every game but after every hand. I’ve deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Great format *2020-08-21, version 1.4.2* Loses audio frequently ### 1/5 — Ads are painful and AI isn’t done well *2020-08-05* Had a problem with one of the ads locking up and other issues. Contacted support, and they asked for screen shots, etc. Sent the screen shots and the rest of what they asked for... Crickets. Still has problems with that ad. Also, sometimes ads just give you a black screen. Nothing will work except closing the app. AI starts out weak and then progresses until it becomes obvious that it is programmed to rotate players. Point spread is designed to stay within certain parameters. If the spread becomes too much, then the computer generated players start making really boneheaded plays to correct the imbalance. Really needs an update. Gonna remove this app. ### 1/5 — A good hearts game - stop with the pop ups *2019-07-13* This is a good game. The stupid game keeps popping up telling me how it works. These are not ads, this is the developer stopping the game to tell me how to change the color of the deck. Just leave it alone and let me play the game. I will figure out the settings when I am ready. This has not been updated in more than a year. Abandon ware ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2019-08-07* Great game. For the next version, please add a “Statistics” option which counts the games played, won and lost. ### 5/5 — Hearts *2018-07-29* Great programming for setting up this game! It seems they’ve got the advertisements properly set in this version! There’s only one full add in between games and there’s continuous adds above the playing field which doesn’t interfere with the game. Wonderful “free” game in that respects. In my Apple iPad I use for the game, there is only one way to hold my tablet, vertically, instead of horizontally. Give us an option, please. Now, to the game itself. I like the options so far for the game including shooting the moon of course, and the jack of diamonds as a -10 point card. I would like to suggest three more options for the game: 1) shooting the sun (taking all the tricks), total points of 50, plus or minus, 2) if a player gets a 100 points exactly, that player goes down to “0”, 3) when a player shoots the moon or sun, that player has the option of sending them self down or send the players up. During the play, if this is at all possible for programming, the computer players need to be better players during the hand. For example, I am constantly shooting the moon. The lowest two scores I have so far is a -40 and a -50! When a player is shooting, the computer players incessantly sluff their highest cards to their lowest cards. When the jack of diamonds is a count card, they don’t recognize the card as such. They just play that card as a normal high sluff card. They also need to recognize a player is shooting. So, when a player plays a low heart card, the others follow suit and plays even lower. So, B&CO, give me a challenge and beat me!! However, great game and I give it a 5 Star raiting! Just plain fun!!

Can be customized. Only fault is that your partners won't stop a shot to the moon. They don't see it coming. Keep a high heart in reserve until points are with two players. ### 5/5 — Da Bomb! *2017-06-15, version 1.3* Best hearts ever! ### 5/5 — Great pastime *2017-06-13, version 1.3* Awesome interface and gameplay. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
