I’ve been playing the cheat hearts game by Optime for yonks, and finally took the time to search out and tryout other less maddening options. After four more terrible experiences I found this one which has all the options I prefer, and does play fair (as if each player isn’t part of a cabal conspiracy). I was able to change out ugly faces and names, able to play with minus 10 for Jack of Diamonds, able to slow down the play. You can change your mind on passing a card once you’ve touched it by touching the card again it returns to your hand. What’s more, you can “cheat” on your own behalf by clicking the undo button during a hand. And you can “undo” all the way back to choosing cards to pass. This is the best hearts game I’ve located on the App Store.

this game has been taken over by cheaters. They gang up together somehow and instead of trying to get low man they dump points on high man. also causes the play to be very slow and some games take up to a half an hour for one game. When I first started it was really fun but now about 80% of the game seem to be a waste of time because you were playing against partners. That being said the cheating seems to have gone down in the last month or so …not sure why. Maybe because I have blacklisted people who are obvious cheats. The blacklist option is great. Other than that the game is the best on the web as far as I can tail. Being able to choose a photo for your icon is fine, the play is fast and I like the timers so that people can’t stall. Plus getting in touch with A real person through the help options is easy and I get answers to my questions in a timely fashion. Keep up the good work. reduce the time of being able to look at cards already played. I do not know what you can do about double browsers but slow players need less time to look at cards played

I’ve played several hearts games all have been the free version at no cost. Some have such obvious algorithms that it is impossible to ever win. It is as if the opponents are behind your backing looking at your hand. This game started out very similarly until I figured out I had to change my game up and not be in any way predictable for each hand passed. Afterwards I was able to win a few games. It is challenging and is varied also with different game choices or control options. I didn’t care the choice to automatic card play your card when all the tricks left go to an opponent. That killed the fun but the settings are easy to change. I would recommend this game.

This is a very good Hearts app and I play it more often than any other. The frustration to me is seeing all of the excellent work that went into it and knowing how easily they could have put the little extra that would have made it the best it could be.First, the good:• Elegant interface, perfectly viewable board that works on even small mobile devices.• Deals appear to be truly random, which they definitely are not on some competitors. With HeartsPro++ for example, if you are dealt six hearts you may be sure that another hand will five or more hearts.•Pace of the game is very good. You have time to assess the cards that are passed to you.•Computer players are skilled at the top difficulty setting. You get good practice for playing against humans.•Statistics are very good, though they might add some graphs to see how you’re doing over time.• Displays the game score for each player as the hands are played.The not so good:• No option to view the full deal at the conclusion of a hand.• No ability to choose ‘plus or minus’ after shooting the moon. Strategic considerations are not possible. This is biggest complaint.• The do-over option is silly but you don’t have to use it, so it’s not too egregious.Overall, this is the best Hearts app that I’ve seen thus far.
