Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We like the competition, this game gives it up. It helps pass the time. FUN.
Enjoy it very much, almost much.
We like the difficulty, it is just right for us.
We love playing cards. We enjoy playing Bridge, Gin Rummy and Hearts with friends. This app is one of the better Hearts apps we have found. The level of play is relatively good. Recommend this app.
Would like to see you put some kind of awful sound when the queen of spades is played. Just think it would give it a different spin. Also some type of celebration screen when you win.
Great graphics, love the speed too.
Dont like new look & cant change it? Also theres no chance to outwit the players to Win once in a while! Bring back the old game and allow us humans a chance to win.
Used to be a good game until ai forgot how to shuffle. Now deck is stacked.
We dont like it! The cards arent any better either.
The format change is not to our liking.
You offer new card styles without a menu to go to change anything. Whats the point? Sloppy.
The latest update is horrible. We might be able to get used to the ugly new look, but we will never get used to the slower, jerky game play. Im using a new iPad Pro, but this game now acts as if we were trying to run it on outdated hardware.
We really don't like the new updated screen animation. It looks like a little kid created it. Can't change background or cards.
This particular game operates properly all the time.
Play the game all the time. It is very well maintained Job.
Excellent AI play with worthy game play. New version is much more vicious- AI play at hardest level is worthy competition and plays at a strong level. Very good preparation. Excellent fluid play.
We love this game ! It always gives us a challenge.
We play every day and really enjoy it. Keeps us wanting to strive for the lowest score. Love the app.
It's fun, challenging and we've never had any issues with it not loading/working.
This is a fun game that is easy to play.
Usually when a player is out of a suit on the first play, they have the queen of spades. Beware.
Enjoyable game with the added option of the Jack of Diamonds making the game less predictable.
Last night we left the windows down in our car. It rained. Children belched with delight.
The one we play is without a partner which is one of the things we really like about it. We play Spades too and get frustrated with partner play. This is more relaxing. Good game.
We love the game and we too would like to have different partners with different playing styles. We don't recall ever having the same game twice. Adding the Jack of Diamonds makes the game more fun. Good pastime.
We also only play the hard level. It would be more interesting if one could pick a different partner instead of always being stick with the same one.
Good playing strategy, but needs to shake things up once in a while — too predictable.
We love this game! We play too much though – need to break away.
We play only in Hard, that way all 3 AIs play as partners trying to beat you. We can beat them most of the time only because the AIs are predictable. Altho we have shot-the-moon many times, we only have a 60% success. We would like to see a mod that allows you to name the AIs and/or change their looks.
We keep getting advertisements and when we get back to the game we are booted out. We need this corrected or give us back our money.
We bought this a couple of days ago and it simply won't work. When we click on a card to play it, it just won't play the card. We wish we had our money back.
This game plays against you, but rather unfairly. It knows the cards you hold and will submit those that effect you directly. For instance, will hold the queen of spades till you have the highest card in a suit then play it. Several other occasions exists for that card to be played, but it waits until you and only you are vulnerable. Several times we have acquired the queen of spades with the three (3) of diamonds. But we have had the 4, 6 and 9 of diamonds in the same hand. The player who threw us the queen did not have any diamonds in their hand, but played the queen last. We don't mind losing, in fact it is necessary to assure the game stays fun and challenging but this is ridiculous. Seems rather peculiar how it can zone in on you. Not fun.
Very well designed game. Challenging, yet not overwhelming. Fun. Enjoyable.
We love this game, but we keep getting notices that say you need to update because it is slowing down our system. Please update. Thank you.
We love having hearts to play. There are no in app purchases you have to make. The world is full of obsessed gamers spending real money on worthless pixel dollars. We buy gold by the ounce and we buy gems and coins and lives by the pixel!!!! We are guilty too. So which is truly worth more, an ounce of gold or an ounce of pixels.
Love it, love it, love it. We did not completely understand the strategy while playing with friends. After numerous games on this game we now have a much better understanding of how things work. Which cards to discard and when. That's all we wanted was a fighting chance. Playing with others who never get a single point is maddening.
This is so much fun. We play 1 or 2 games daily.
This is a nice game to play when you just want to relax or take it easy.
So easy to play, and it never gets tiring.
Put in your play level and be prepared to play and play again. This is very fun.
We believe in supporting programmers who create good apps so we purchased it, besides which we find the ads annoying, and at best, distracting. We enjoy a challenge so we play it on "hard," and we find the game enjoyable. We play frequently. However we have yet to shoot the moon. We agree with other reviews that the player icons are a bit cartoon-y. We would like to see them like those in the older Hoyle games in which they speak, are animated, and we can select from a choice of players. It appears that some reviews do not even apply to this game. Odd.
This is truly a great and fun game to play. We have been enjoying it for a couple of years now and play a few games every day.
Lots of fun. Computer players could be smarter players.
Fun, good graphics, can change the pace of the game which we like, keeps track of how many hearts picked up by each player during the game — something not all apps do. Rarely gets a kink in it.
Great game! Only addition we'd make is to provide a summary of performance; times played, winning percentage, times successful at "shooting the moon" and a reset function to cleat this data.
This is a great card game. We recommend this game.
Wow, three partners to play and great interface Suggested improvements: 1) it would be nice if there was a 'chime' when shooting the moon is successful; 2) the game ending dialogue box is awkward play new game is only choice the main menu option should also be included in ending dialogue box; 3) it would be cool if stats were kept, how many games won by each player, etc.
Fun game to kill some time with.
A relaxing game that can calm you while holding you attention.
It's true the card game. A lot of fun to play. We look forward to playing.
