Hearts: Card Game Wiki

This is the best hearts app without question and it has earned a 5-star rating. Having said that, I only play it in the highest level/most difficult mode. I wish I could report that all of its “ability” is due to its AI. Unfortunately, in my opinion that is not entirely the case. I believe it “cheats” some of the time. The reason I say that is not due to the way it plays, but in the deals received and cards passed that are consistently perfect fills for the cards you passed away. If you are an excellent player the app will know you are getting ahead or too far ahead and you will get a deal with no spades or just a King or Ace of Spades that you have to pass and the you will receive the Queen of Spades on the pass without any backers. This is even more evident on the “no pass” round. If they fix this and make it a straight program, it will be exceptional.

I’m so glad I downloaded this game! Hearts brings me back to my childhood, which helps relieve stress & soothe anxiety, so I love being able to play it on my phone. The stress relief factor is doubly increased by being able to skip all ads after 5 seconds (some seem even faster, but perhaps that’s just me?). As another reviewer stated, we don’t need to watch a long ad to know if we’re interested in the product, & I’m far more likely to try a new app if I’m not annoyed by ads for it. In fact, I downloaded this after I read that review specifically because I could avoid irritating ads. Thank you so much for this feature-I hope others take note!

Game has decent playability. The ads aren’t too bad being 5 seconds. You don’t feel like all you get done is watching ads. Ai could use some polishing. Like not always leading spades when they aren’t winning. They end up drawing out the queen on the last place player when they are in 3rd place and they lose too. Not easily programmable but doable. Also. Can you add in an option to use the jack of diamonds for -10 points off your score. Makes it so much more fun.

I really like this particular Heart game. The only thing is... I’ve had to uninstall and re install this game four times after reaching certain levels and or goals...it always seems to get stuck on one of the advertisements. I’ll have to stop playing losing whatever level that I’ve reached. So far that is the only problem that I have.

I have been playing on my iPhone and want to move to my iPad. However, I am at a pretty high level there and when I download in my iPad have to start at level 1 again. Is there a way to move this from my iPhone to my iPad? Thank you

After writing the 1st review below, I was contacted by the developer. I have reinstalled this game and tried it again. No ads between each hand! ORIGINAL: I play quite a few Mobility Ware games and enjoy them all. I stick with them because I like the graphics and ease of play. However, I've noticed that compared to games I play from other developers, your's have more frequent ads. Okay. Part of life, right? But if you think I'm going sit there while this game is interrupted by an ad between each and every hand, I'll take a pass! There's no way to get a flow going and I have better things to do with my time. I finally learned how to play Hearts, though!! ❤️ AMENDED: The quality I've come to know from Mobility Ware is in this game. I've enjoyed learning to play it and appreciate being contacted by the developer about my consternation regarding the frequency of the ads. I tried it again just now and went through an entire round without an ad break! Yay!! 🥳 To be clear, however, I consider anything that stops game play to be a disruption, because I still have to wait those few seconds before I can tap the X, which wouldn't really be that bad if it wasn't hidden in one of the corners half the time. And when I tap on this symbol >> >> I'm often taken to the App Store to download the ad's game, which is not acceptable. So, we shall play and we shall see!! Ads between games? That's okay. Ads between hands? I'll find a different version.

So you grind away, climbing up the ladder past 500, past 1000, past 1500. You reach 2000 and do you win? No! The previously stagnant opponents start jumping ahead of you and it appears at this point the game can’t be “won” unless maybe I play for three or four hours straight(?) , which I’m not going to do. You need to make this game winnable, guys. This is not a good strategy to keep me playing , it’s a strategy to frustrate me and send me to another game...

I have a number of mobilityware games and they’re great. I sought out a Hearts game made by mobilityware bc I’ve been so happy with other games by them. This was a great game to begin with, but Later it seemed rigged against me. I’d get repeated consecutive hands with the Qspade or always get it passed to me or my cards would be so high I’d always end up taking the Qcard. This especially happened when there was a particular avatar at the table (for me it was an alien). This happened so frequently that I hated that avatar being in the game and it took the fun right out of it. Second problem, I like to listen to music while I play but the ads cut out my music. If it was an ad every once. In a while l, like after a game, it would be fine, but there’s an ad after every, single hand, which makes it impossible to listen to my music. I get the need for ads so that’s not my complaint. The last problem is more about me and less about the game. The undo makes it easy to cheat. I have a hard time resisting it especially bc I’m always getting the Qspade card. I’ve deleted the app and found a different Hearts game I like much better bc it’s more balanced and has no undo. I’ll always be grateful for Mobilityware version though bc it taught me how to play Hearts.

I enjoy playing your game. Some suggestions: When I am deciding what cards to pass, the 3 “other players” (actually symbols which are normally visible) become dark. As a result, I cannot know which player is where - unless I use paper and write a chart. It would be so much easier for you to keep the other players illuminated. When all the hearts and Q of spades have been played in a particular hand, why require me to waste time playing out the hand? The same - if me or another player is automatically going to take all of the remaking tricks (including, but not limited to shooting the moon). Again, a big waste of time when the end result is already known. In actual play with real people personally present, when one player realizes this, she or he will show their hand and say “it’s over”, and then go on to the next hand. I’m willing to put up with your time consuming advertisements. I would appreciate your efforts to eliminate time consuming “finishing of hands in which subsequent play will not impact the points in the hand. Thank you for reading this.

The number one problem with the game is the bots don't pay attention to the score. They will happily give the queen to the high man, even when that puts him over 100 and makes the bot doing it lose the game. Similarly, a bot will shoot the moon even though low man is more than 26 points lower, and shooting causes high man to go over 100 and the shooter loses. An annoyance is that the game keeps telling me I've progressed a level but the levels are completely meaningless and have zero bearing on the game. Please get rid of them. When someone achieves 26 points before the hand is done, play is interrupted for a long animation about shooting the moon and then you still have to play out the remaining meaningless tricks. Just dump the cards or something. I wish there was a way to review the previous trick. If am distracted for a tiny instant the cards are gone and I don't know what was played. This is personal preference of course, but I loathe how the game vomits cards all over the screen when a game ends.

I love the mobilityware apps. I enjoy this game except for the very frequent adds. If they happened once a game instead of once a round I wouldn’t mind. Also if the adds didn’t force close my audio book I would not mind. I understand the need to make money for a company, however with this model I cannot support the company because the game enjoyment is ruined by the adds. I am unfortunately going to delete the app. I would love to buy in sometime in the future. I would like to recommend an add free experience with paid content such as player icons and backgrounds. I would gladly drop 3-5 dollars a month this way.

Game play isn’t bad. Ads BETWEEN EVERY HAND is awful. A paid version would be so much better. The ads hide/disguise the X or >> button to move past them to the next hand. Those buttons are also really small and can take a few tries to hit. Seems like they’re a little “predatory” and designed to get you to click on the ad and not easily be able to close it out. That coupled with the excessive ads makes it very annoying. At most, ads between each game would be tolerable. I’m still early on, but it seems like the game has the typical AI issues where your “luck” seems to kick in when you need some point or have been struggling and then there are games where you can win even with good strategy. Overall it’s fun. Fix the ad issue and it’s at least a 4 star review. UPDATE: Contacted customer service about the annoying ads between each hand. They responded quickly, to their credit, but did not offer any solutions. Only asked if the ads were inappropriate or offensive and what I could do about them. They also said they would suggest an ad-free version to their development team. It’s clear they want to make money off ads rather than make a fun and enjoyable game. I DELETED THE GAME

Added this game when it popped up as an ad in between a round of another game. I never played hearts but was intrigued enough to download it. At first, it was a lot of fun and enjoyable to play. However, once I got past level 5, I would always end up with the death card and maybe one or two higher spades ... to the point that it was impossible for me to win a spade hand and I ended up with the extra 13 points almost every ... single ... time. Nope ... DONE! Too bad because even though there were a lot of ads, you were always given the option to skip out of it after about 5 seconds (instead of 30 like a lot of other games). Just wish the cards weren’t always stacked against me.

I have and like many of this developers games, this is NOT one of them. If you have the queen, they lead spades until you eat it, every single time., this is not how people play hearts. Other than this, I’d give it a five, but it’s such a big flaw, I just can’t. I’ll go back and play the other one I have, not half as nice but.... actually theirs used to do this, maybe enough people complained because it doesn’t happen anymore. What I don’t understand is, why you developers think were so stupid that we’d stay with games that cheat? Are you so corrupt you cannot design a fair game? Is your own ego caught up in it?
