### 3/5 — Good but…

*2026-08-04, version 2.20*

Good game but too many Ads. Now coming up when you start anew game not just when you open the app.

### 4/5 — Halfie

*2026-07-07, version 2.20*

Enjoy the game but the adverts are too long.

### 3/5 — Bugs! Incorrect scores

*2026-06-02, version 2.20*

Some out works, but mostly it provides incorrect scores,  every player suddenly gets 26 points for the hand when one had -4, another 6, etc.  I tried offloading and relaiding but it’s gotten worse so I’m trying another App.

### 3/5 — Badly placed ads

*2026-04-20, version 2.20*

Good gameplay but the kind of ads you have to watch when you open the app and start a new game are way too annoying and intrusive.

### 2/5 — I gave you a 4, but then you asked for a review!!! Now you get a 2.

I was going to give you a 4. But then you asked for a review so now you get a 2.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous adds a plenty

*2026-08-17, version 2.20*

a simple game and now they bomdard you with ads. It’s getting ridiculous. Shien did very you to their website throughout the game and when you go back to the game you have to sit through ads again.
Very crafty.
Apple have resorted to absurd levels to extract money.
Android is the way……

### 1/5 — Full of ads

*2026-08-15, version 2.20*

This game has become the worst with constant very long ads that you cannot get out of.  The ads are not only between hands but now also in the middle of the hand and it switches you to a browser ad. Horrible. I have now deleted it.

### 1/5 — DONT pay for add free

*2026-07-03, version 2.20*

Paid for add free and was bombarded with adverts which were even more obtrusive than before

### 1/5 — Stuck on an Ad

*2026-06-11, version 2.20*

Enjoyed and played for years.   Ads were ok.  Just tried to play and it would not start the game.  It was stuck on an ad.  I deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-03-28, version 2.20*

So what’s up with newer versions of this app?  When I open it up, 1/4 of the screen is off the screen. No amount of swiping helps, and I’m prevented using other apps. What a waste.

### 1/5 — Scam app

*2026-03-08, version 2.20*

Only has ads. Never loaded hearts.

### 1/5 — Very, very lengthy adverts

*2026-02-25, version 2.20*

I ve been using this app for years but they have now decided to put ads up that last for minutes between games. Royal Match in particular. Maybe they get more money by doing this but I’m one user they’ve just lost. There’s lots more hearts games available without this issue.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-02-21, version 2.20*

Way too many ads didn’t used to have this many looking for a new one game

### 5/5 — Great Game with Options

*2026-07-28, version 2.20*

Excellent version of Hearts. This game allows you to set the level of difficulty and playable options like total game score and Jack of Diamonds Bonus. The competition is tough and strategic. A real challenge.

### 5/5 — Owner
