Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love the game but not the advertisements. Also we couldnt find settings.
Only 1 ad when you first open the app, after that, none. Most versions put up ads between every hand. Game play as expected for Hearts. No complaints.
Great game, use it to keep our mind active…competitive without blowing you out, at least with middle level. The robot is tough.
Bots cheat/collude against single player. Its so obvious it ruins the game and makes it unlike a hearts game IRL.
Give no attention to who is low or high they will dump the Queen on anyone.
We enjoy this version. We enjoyed the discontinued version more.
Disruptive, annoying, interrupting play,all around bummer.
Keep getting negative numbers for scores messing up the game.
Same as the above. The three minute ads that repeat continuously drive us crazy. If we wanted to play a 2nd grade fish card game we would get that ap. We know you have to pay for your ap somehow but ass7me some level of intelligence and let us opt out without watching the same ad 500 times.
Use to love this, but give up with all the irritating problems. 1. The scoring frequently goes crazy and starts subtracting scores from players so instead of the correct points at that time it starts adding a minus sign and sub tracks an amount so a score of, say, 20 suddenly becomes 20(-8) which has suddenly subtracted 8 points 2. We will NEVER pay a monthly fee to get no ads on any game, and these ads are particularly annoying: flashing ads are always visible under the game and hurts visibility of the cards but WORSE could give an epileptic a seizure. These are always on. Then between games one has to wait forever to get the ad to close so one can go on to the next game.
Impossible to win in hard modus If you are doing well, you will be served spade queen 2 or 3rd a few times to bring you down. These card distributions do not reflect real card distributions. No fun anymore.
Not good. Slow, clunky. Just not smooth and fun to play. We are out of here after one hand. Just basically awful.
Too long of advertisements. Show it and if we dont want it we should have an option to close. If we touch the screen it opens the App Store. Too much control so deleting.
Was able to play 1 easy, couple medium, then other games kept coming up, then it stalls, cant get off game that block ,just freezes. Cant get rid of apps that block. M.S.
Helps your brain and is a super challenge.
In any one game there will be 2 or 3 shoot the moon deals sometimes even more. Does not reflect real game odds.
Thank you for the product that is well designed and satisfactory for us to play.
Nice layout but the game does not follow logic.
Even the middle of a game ads will interrupt & force you to respond.
Fun to figure out a strategy to try to win.
Nice game, crispy and good challenge.
It was good before it quit working.
We can t get back to the game from the ads.
Addictive! One of our favotites.
We love playing hearts…..keeps our brain sharp.
This is a great version of the game. It would be nice to hav3 the option to see the last hand played, and if a person hits 100 exactly, the option to go back to 50.
Hate the appearance of the other (computer) characters. Otherwise a fun game.
The game constantly cheats, itll hold the queen off the low person then give it to us even though we have the highest score. One of the other players consistently will pass us either the queen, king or ace then keep leading spades. There are too many hands where we dont have any cards below 5. It used to be fair and we could win the occasional game but the way it is now is not fun because we dont have a fair chance.
Game is good. Sometimes ads block the cards.
Apparently Hearts change the size of the screen recently. Why change it? We hate it! We want the old version back.
Since the update two weeks ago, the cards are now slightly pixelated and very blurry. Its funny that its called Hearts HD! Please fix the cards. Also, it would be very nice if each hand would end after all points are out. Otherwise, its a great Hearts game.
Our biggest problem is sometimes when Im winning big its like game sets us up with the other players knowing how to give us the Queen and lots of hearts a couple times in a row.
What in the world did you do? Hmmmm The font is smaller, lost our Christmas background and choice of cards, even the undo is missing! Im not happy.
We dislike the new look so much we will soon try a different version.
Everything is smaller. Constant ads on bottom, very distracting. Do not like it.
We opened our Hearts app today and got an unwelcome surprise. The graphic package we had been using had been significantly downgraded. The clarity is horrible and there is a distracting yellow glow around the cards. A quick check on the App Store reveals the version we had been using now carries a price tag. Our manipulation meter pegged at that. Ill be uninstalling this app.
Great game, use it to keep our mind active…competitive without blowing you out, at least with middle level.
Super Hearts game!! Its addictive its so much fun.
This Hearts game has actually helped us keep track of suits for when Im playing bridge with friends.
Its a good time killer, however the game cheats! Every time. Consistently.
Great pass time even if it is 3 against 1.
Great game, but you can lose an hour really quick.
We just started playing this version of hearts and find that it plays smooth. If full page ads show up later we will eliminate.
Have enjoyed this for years and never get tired of it.
Love the way the cards play…very easy to use.
When playing with the Jack of diamonds option, your opponents freely throw the Jack away when not necessary. We think the software plays the highest card in the suit so when you have all diamonds it play the Jack if highest. Makes trying to win very frustrating when you see ridiculous moves by your competitors.
Format is simple to use, straight forward layout. Great graphics.
Great game. Keeps you thinking and guessing. Each level plays differently.
In the hard mode, this game is a real challenge, especially when you opt in the Jack of Diamonds which makes the game even more strategic and challenging. We also believe your opposing players work in concert to beat you which is even more satisfying when when you prevail.
Love playing the game. It's easy t navigate. Have become quite good at playing. You can control the difficulty level . We're currently using the hard difficulty level and find it challenging.
