Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
You can only play a 50 point game and when you shoot the moon, you can only add. Not subtract from your score.
You cant get out of the ads fast enough. Either the ads need to be addressed or the time before getting booted needs to be extended.
Thanks for the upgrade AND A BIGGER THANK YOU FOR THE GAME. Ive been playing it for years.
We just wish the ads werent so long and didnt interfere with the game.
Since Devs added pay for add free MP games 2-4 times the games we play times out and we get booted by other players. Removing game at this point.
We can play this game and try different strategies and love to shoot the moon.
Works to well we cant win sometimes.
Ads between hands are longer than the booot time so you literally get booted from a good game because youre stuck watching an ad. Also game needs more punishment for abandoning games – perhaps make it so you auto rejoin if you quit a game.
Even though many times, when you play the best players with the best skill you lose. One constantly wins in what one learns. Challenging and fun, if it werent so difficult, it wouldnt be so much fun.
Players should be penalized for leaving game.
There is an advertising that covers the cards, doesn't disappear, so it's impossible to play.
These dudes will absolutely let the other bot shoot the moon unless you fall on the sword and take some hearts. Other than that, great game.
Heres the deal on Netflix Hearts. In a normal game of Hearts, every hand is a random shuffle and is not stacked for or against you. In Netflix Hearts, as you progress through the various tiers being, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Master. As you progress, the hands delt to you become increasingly unfair and stacked by the computer to give you impossible hands. In real like this cant happen. But on this game you will increasingly get unfair deals where you will get the Queen of Spades maybe 70% of the time. No matter how well you play. Ive tried calling and complaining but nobody will respond or cares. The solution to the problem is fair and random shuffles not hands that are stacked against you from the get go.
We love this game but we need your help. When we play multiplayer games our chat feature for some reason is disabled. How do we access this feature.
Love the hand but the idiot commercials will be the death of us. No, we wont pay to have them removed.
It seems that the Single Player game was much improved. We used to win about 90% of the time. Now, we see by the moves that we win about 50% of the time. But, it is annoying whether being in the Single Player game or the Bot takes over the Multi-Player games that it doesnt go after the player with the low score. It seems that the Bot doesnt mind losing the game.
This is a great game but when there are no moves left you should be able to end the game.
This game would be perfect if not for the great equalizer, The non passing hand). If you have a lead going into hand 4, you WILL get dealt horrendous cards and have to eat 20+ points. Happens every time like clockwork, the game punishes you for being in the lead. Also, they let the worst players ever in the ranks games. If you show no clue a basic strategy, you should not be allowed to play ranked games. UPDATE : havent won a game in over a week due to the three other players at the table having no clue how to play. Dump the queen on whoever they can, doesnt matter whos in first place. They should penalize you if you dont play right instead of rewarding people.
The game is fun as is the other games by this developer BUT to double and triple "x" out of an ad is beyond annoying. ALL of the games by this developer, 90%+ are double and triple tapping to close out an ad. WHY.
If we wanted to play against the AI we would play single player. Put a system in place to keep people from leaving the second something even remotely bad happens to them in the game. Have to wait for the AI to takeover for them and beating an AI is not fun. Shouldnt play card games if you cant handle losing at all.
We love the game itself, however the ads will often get stuck and then you get booted from the game. This has happened to us at least a couple of dozen times. Its ridiculous.
Good game, but booted every game now, so unplayable.
Bots cheat/collude against single player. Its so obvious it ruins the game and makes it unlike a hearts game IRL.
This game gives ads between hands. Some of those ads run so long you get booted by other players for being gone too long.
There are tolerable banner ads but after every hand you have to watch video ads, most arent a problem but every couple days youll be booted out of a game for not playing in time. Their ridiculous lengthy video ads make this a waste of time. The penalty for players who quit when losing is not enough of a deterrent.
Get booted from game periodically due to ads not allowing to close. Game is fine if ads were gone.
The game play is ok, however too often you end up getting booted from your game because after EVERY hand obnoxious ads interfere and sometimes make it difficult to return to your game, resulting in getting booted/timed out. Maddening when youre winning.
The game now keeps dropping us when Im playing against others. At least it gets us to stop using our phone.
You need to do something about the ads. They are difficult to close down, and even freeze at times. Its annoying getting booted from a game because of the ads.
Developers need to be aware that some ads require 3-4 windows to be closed before returning to the game. And that sometimes there is no possible way to fast forward and/or close the ad before being booted. This is VERY frustrating.
We love the game – dislike all the quitting Id like to see if you quit twice you are blocked for 24hrs and you take the lost points not the partner that is left.
We love this game.. We just hate when ppl quit. They should be automatically penalized.. Minus 20 or something.
Second place should not lose points.
This card game app allowed multiple game options.
Great game, no adds, fast play.
Nicely programmed game. Runs smoothly.
At last a hearts card game that is truly challenging (in the hard/difficult mode).
This game keeps you engaged.You May think you have it won then Boom you are not competitive.To win one must stay engaged be a good player and being lucky helps. Great card game.
Computer players are diverse and Unpredictable. Challenging games. A lot of fun for all.
Being retired its nice to have something free and fun to play.
We play several casual card games. We are very good at couple and very bad at others. We are very good a Gin Rummy, Freecell, and Spades. Sometimes we are very lucky at Euchre. Our worst casual card game ability is Hearts. We just cant wrap our head around the strategy. We loose more times than not, and when we dont loose, we are in third or second place. We rarely actually win at Hearts. We keep playing Hearts because It helps keep us from getting full of ourselves.
We like the game enough to pay for it, so no ads. If we focus we can win about half of the games and finish second another 20% of the time. We only play against the computer players. There might be a randomness glitch. Fairly often a hand will be followed by another hand that is nearly the same. That leads to consecutive wins or losses. We wish the stats would give info on wins by the other players and that the end of game screen would give some praise for a second place finish.
We like this game but Im getting weary of getting hit by especially sexually explicit ads, kinda ruins the game for us, so taking a break from this particular hearts game.
We love hearts, but there should be an option to auto complete when a player will take the rest of the tricks. It takes too much time when Im the only one with clubs left and thats all we have.
Tooooo many ads, and you usually have to press 2 different xs to get out of it. Also, it takes to long to replace with an AI, if someone quits.
We love playing against people on a server! However if they leave they are replaced by bots that have card counters and give bad passes. Also the ads will sometimes randomly open in the middle of the game and get you booted! We had a scam which would open safari from our hearts app and start scanning for malware. Not sure where that was coming from or if we were playing with a hacker. This app has issues and needs investigation.
Its an ok version of the game. Not terrible, but not great either. The cards dont feel random and every new game the AI picks an NPC to take the Jack on most hands.
The AI on this game is abysmal. It will shoot the moon even if that guarantees it a loss. It will also pass moons all the time, and real humans then exploit how stupid the AI is. Also, there's no penalty for quitting a game… So when a real human gets frustrated and quits, then we have to deal with dumb AI.
We updated this app. It wont even load anymore. We can no longer play this. The update was supposed to fix bugs and stable playing. It did the opposite.
Game is good BUT TOO many ads. $10.00 every month is too much to pay to remove ads.
