Hearts Score is the simplest way to keep score for the classic card game Hearts. No more paper, no more arguing over the math — just tap in each hand and the app does the rest. Set up a game in seconds, play through your night, and let Hearts Score track every hand, flag the winner, and celebrate with confetti when someone crosses the finish line. WHAT YOU GET - 3 to 6 players — pick your table size and the app applies the correct Hearts variant, including which cards to remove from the deck. - Automatic scoring — enter each hand's points and running totals update instantly. - Shoot the moon — moon shots are handled for you, right on the score entry. - Pass direction tracking — always know whether you're passing left, right, across, or holding. - Pick your target — play to 50, 75, or 100. Lowest score wins, standard Hearts rules. - Win detection & confetti — the moment someone busts the target, the app names the winner and throws a little party. - Edit past hands — fat-fingered a score? Fix any previous hand in place. LIFETIME STATS Mark which player is you and Hearts Score keeps a running record across every game: games played, wins, losses, win percentage, current and longest streaks, average points, and total moon shots.
