### 2/5 — Random?

*2026-08-16*

When are you developers going to offer a genuine random deal to these card games. You rig the deal with high and low cards, or in ‘Hearts’ by playing a low spade when a normal player would dump the queen, or when the computer attempts in one of its three guises to Shoot the Moon and only the human player recognises what’s happening and can gamble whether to lose or take the trick. Clearly that last is down to the constraints of programming priorities into the “skill” ievel. I just want a fair deal. One that is randomly generated and in which only the fewest programming restraints operate.

### 3/5 — Hearts vs Computer

*2026-06-16*

Better than nothing however not as good as playing against real opponents especially because the computer competition is not very good.

### 3/5 — Scoring

*2026-05-25, version 26.0.0*

Please explain your scoring as the total shown is not what is actually captured by each player?

### 4/5 — Bring Your Game

*2026-04-26*

Yes, at times all three play against you, but just like a real game, there are multiple ways to win. Bring your game and it’ll erase their thumb on the scale. You can win and you can lose, just like an actual game. If you’re bad at cards, that doesn’t mean it’s rigged.

### 3/5 — Always Fun

*2026-01-22, version 26.0.0*

It is always fun to whilw away the time playing Hearts!

### 3/5 — Good, no great

*2026-01-19, version 26.0.0*

This is the best of the dozen or so other Hearts apps I’ve tried. My biggest complaint is that my opponents very rarely purposely take a heart in order to block an opponent from shooting the moon. That is not how humans play the game.

### 2/5 — Cards order wrong

*2024-07-07*

The cards are shown in the wrong order with Spades on the far left and high to low from L to R. It would be useful if this could be changed in Settings as this is just plain weird?? May have to find something that provides the standard draw?

### 4/5 — .okay

*2024-06-06, version 8.6.0*

This could be better if they’d let you win more often. I play fairly well but its like its rigged.  I’d love to play where i know i got a chance.  But other than that its pretty good. Love no ads or gimmicks

### 4/5 — Game no longer centered on screen

*2023-09-30, version 8.5.0*

Love the app.  As of today, South player cards are hidden by the “New Game Undo” line directly under the Ad.
Game is not centered on the screen.  What’s going on?

### 2/5 — Predictably boring now

*2023-07-12*

Becoming too obvious that I’ll get same value cards passed to me as I’ve passed. Queen is usually after person with Ace and or King.

### 5/5 — Like playing real players

*2023-06-24*

I have tryed a lot of heart app and this is the closest to playing with real players The most realistic Hearts ❤️ game there is a must try
Qjord

### 2/5 — Background noise

*2023-05-02, version 8.3.3*

Why has annoying background music started playing in the app? Please fix

### 5/5 — Confused

*2023-04-28*

I have played this game forever and I just caught “ North “ not play a heart when I threw, no one else threw a hearts, because I remember thinking’ I’m the only one with trump, maybe throw something else and “ North trumped it, with a higher heart card than the one I first found out I’m the only one with trump, and the very next toss ‘north ‘ trumped me, now I’ve been in games that cheat…oh so many, but you guys weren’t one of them until now, please look into it, I love the game, but I hate cheaters more. 
                                                             😳

### 5/5 — Intelligente

*2023-04-06, version 8.3.3*

Fatto bene molto realistico e divertente.
Potrebbe sfruttare l’intelligenza artificiale per farlo diventare più furbo quando ci sono cappotti o quando i tre “morti” devono o non devono rompere i cuori.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-11-23*

Punkte ergeben gar keinen Sinn!

### 1/5 — Don’t get this app!

*2025-05-08*

I just started playing hearts, and I really like the game a lot. And I’ve been looking for and trying out different hearts apps trying to find one I really like. This was one of the apps I tried. It’s very clear to me that the computer opponents you play against are clearly cheating. They literally work together to give you the most points possible. To the point they will shoot the moon, multiple times in a single game to stack up points on you. This is the only app that does this. Doesn’t matter how many times you retry it. You will always end up with highest amount of points everytime. It’s not honest or fair. That’s why I’m making this review because of the dishonesty.

### 1/5 — Rigged Game

*2025-02-01, version 8.8.0*

The game had the same player go to the moon 3 hands in a row. I was given all high cards each hard. If I was playing poker I would have beaten everyone. If you have a slight lead. The game will automatically go to the moon with another player. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME HERE.

### 1/5 — Unrealistic

*2024-12-31*

In quite a few games there have been two shoot the moons. A few times there have been three. This is so rare apart from this game. And it cheats to make sure you get dumped with the queen of spades. The first two players seem to throw out cards lower than you have and boom West who always has that card drops it on you. When cards are passed to you it always seems to be with a suit you have two high cards on. So you have dead unusable cards in most hands are passed to you, 

The game is unrealistic. So I have deleted it.

### 1/5 — Full of Bugs

*2024-02-19, version 8.6.0*

My top issue, the app is full of stupid bugs. An example multiple times, adds show up on top and bottom.  Also wonder if it’s fixed both in terms of cards dealt and how others play.

### 1/5 — Cheats likes the others

*2023-05-03, version 8.3.3*

Can no one make a fair game? So disappointing to see the main strategy by the bots is cheating.

### 1/5 — Algoritmo taroccato

*2023-02-01, version 8.3.3*

Vince sempre e solo la Casa, gioco nefando, da evitare.

### 1/5 — Sexist advertising.

*2022-10-10, version 8.3.0*

The game started with normal irritating advertisements. Now the show a page with 10 > 20 pictures of women in underwear and difficult to close.

### 1/5 — Cheat

*2022-07-25, version 8.2.0*

Your games doesn’t play fair. I have witnessed the cheating while playing the game. The deal is cheating and the others know exactly what cards to play against your card to win. Meaning the other know what cards are in your hand. Who gets 4 Qs in there hand in a row. What are the odds. Will delete and find another game that is not programmed to cheat.

### 1/5 — Hearts review

*2021-09-15, version 8.1.2*

I find the AI involved in play is terrible. Some really stupid plays by the computer all the time.

*2025-06-26, version 8.8.0*

### 5/5 — Top quality HEARTS card game

*2024-09-23*

This HEARTS card game is beautifully designed and is silky smooth to play and is also wonderfully challenging to play. Ads are kept small and unobtrusive but are available if any need for further information. Automatic last card play, this is the game that I can really get into and enjoy time after time after time. Try it, like me you can play it from time to time for years and years and years and like me, never get bored with it. My go to game to relax. It’s brilliant. And SILKY SMOOTH..

### 5/5 — Favorite Hearts App

*2024-01-25*

I play this for a couple of reasons. It’s a simple no-frills hearts app with a lot of good options. It’s also the only hearts app I found that doesn’t track you. 

The AI is pretty good. However there is one quirk I’ve noticed with the AI: They will shoot the moon even if it means they lose. For example, the bot in last place will shoot the moon causing the game to end, but they will still lose because they were more than 26 behind first place. Why would they do that?
