Hearts App Reviews

Just okay

This app constantly crashes and there apparently isnt a fix for it.

It was great.. At first

This game was great when I first got it but now it crashes every 5 seconds and I end up playing the same hand again. If I make it that far.

Way too Buggy!

The game is buggy. It frequently switches back to the desktop in the middle of a game. The AI is only average. The graphics basic and lack imagination. It can be a lot better. Finally, it does not offer the Jack of Diamonds option.

Fun.. Major work has been done on this game!

OK, Im going to leave my previous review up even though its moot. There has been a tremendous amount of work done on this game. The APP writer responds almost immediately to questions. All of the bugs seem to have been fixed. This game is top notch! My old review; The "people" you are playing dont play like regular humans. They constantly trade you low cards without trying to shoot the moon. The other players will lead with the same suit until it is gone, even if all other players are out. There are scoring glitches. At one point it wouldnt give me credit for shooting the moon. The points dont always add up to 26! After playing this on a train for a few hours, I always win. Often times a card in your hand will be FACE DOWN! Sometimes the hand will sweep after only 3 cards have been played! The play is WAY too predictable! ... The latest update crashes constantly!! Please keep working on this game! It has some inexcusable flaws!

Boring design

The design is too small and boring. I did not like spending money on this game and have never played it again. Please make it more attractive and fast. we do not need to see the whole table, just our cards.

Keep improving, please...

The game is fundamentally good, but "buggy". If the game is over and you exit, when you come back you rejoin the game and plan another hand - even tho somebody passed 100. Exiting before passing caused me to be forced to play a game with 10 cards. When I ran out of cards the game was just stuck. I had to "reset" the entire game (thus losing my cumulative "games won" score) go get the game going again. Also (as others have reported) the AI needs to be improved. I win 95% of the time, opponents pass low cards, play out voided suits when they could get out of the lead, and dump points on high opponents when they arent winning. They also let opponents shoot the moon when they could stop them with a little strategy (like taking a point). All that said, it is still my most played game, and the best Hearts game on iTunes. Buy it and itll give Cliff an incentive to keep improving it. ;-)

Ok

Gotta get used to it hard in the begining

Crashed

The person that wrote this program shouldnt be allowed to write ever again,this game crashed 75% of the time ,the game it self ok,DO NOT BUY THIS GAME,you just wasted your money for the idiot writer

Revisited

I really do like this version of hearts and I gave it five stars but after playing it for awhile I have to say there are still some bugs that could be worked out. When a game is over and you exit the game, when you go back to it you have to play the last hand again. Also there should be a way to end the game and start a new one if desired and it wouldnt hurt if the cards were a little bigger. It is sort of hard to tell the different suits. Im not having the problems others are having but I think this could be a really great app if some of the bugs were worked on.

Cons

No customization at all. Cant add Jack of Diamonds; cant dump Queen on 1st trick; hard to tell Spades from Clubs; cant change a passed card, even before its picked up. Im checking out other developers.

bad AI

Ive played all the hearts games and this one has bad AI. As well the user interface isnt really very good.

DO NOT BUY!!

I played this game for less than a minute before it crashed and would not let me open it back up! It is terrible, do not buy it!

Ummmm?

Not the worst, but for sure not awesome. Cards are small and dont fan out properly. After you win you have to play the last hand again. Sometimes the icon you touch to see the scores doesnt work. If you accidentally pass a card you cant take it back. One of the other "players" is always racking up lots of points for the whole game. If you get the Queen of hearts passed to you (not dealt), the other players will lead with spades until you have to play it... Its inevitable. If you dont choose the option turn off the tapping in between tricks the game takes hours to play. No option to name the other players. Sometimes players can break hearts by playing the queen of spades even when that option is turned off.

Hearts - Cliff Maier

The programmer(s) obviously do NOT understand the game of Hearts and has failed to provide a challenging game. A human player would NEVER play their cards as do those in this offering. I strongly suggest downloading a different game than this one by Cliff Maier. It is next to worthless.

Good interface - BAD AI

I have no complaints with the game itself. A few minor problems but nothing serious. But, I have a MAJOR problem with the programing. The AI is stupid and makes this game a total waste of time. The programer also has a Spades games with the same problem. They clearly dont understand the strategy behind these games.
