For some reason they screw the game up every 8 to 12 months or so. For example, around May 2018 the app simply cannot log any won games - every game is now logged as a loss in the stats section. Last year the app randomly started hanging when you took the queen of spades. It took them a month or two to fix it, wonder when they will fix this current issue. It’s an OLD game, what is there to update? Ever heard of quality assurance testing before going live? Poor quality updates for what should be an easy app to keep running.

I was forced to re-purchase this latest version to get rid of the ads even though I paid for the app several years ago. The animation is choppy and I can barely see the differences between hearts and diamonds (spades & clubs) because of the new tiny image size on the card faces. I do like that you can see the current score of each player during play. While playing music during the game, the volume is reduced on Spotify-the reason I play music is that occasionally the game sound is muted for no apparent reason. As soon as I close the game, my volume shoots up...This was my favorite go to game - previous version was very professionally built and seemed to be pretty challenging yet predictable play (please make it more difficult!). The ads are EXTREMELY obnoxious so pay up to really get full enjoyment out of this classic game...

I really think this was the best Hearts game for the iPhone but when I upgraded phones there appears a long advertisement after every hand. I tried the “restore purchases” but that didn’t work so now it’s unplayable. Most Hearts games are really rigged, dumping the queen on you as the other players work as a team. It doesn’t feel real. This one did feel real most of the time but I’m not buying it again or playing it.

Excellent graphics, solid play, nice, unobtrusive animations, BUT they don’t properly support iPhones with notches and Home Indicators. Those literally came out more than two years ago, and there are still UI elements that are hidden behind the notch. The developer should be aware of this and needs to implement the UIKit Safe Areas from Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines. Only thing I'd change game-wise would be to add more rules variants.

I had issues (download problem; Remove Ads on multiple devices) integrating the new Hearts App on iOS 11 systems devices. Concrete Software support was quick to respond and resolve these issues. Kudos! As to the game itself, it is excellent. One of the best.
