Hearts: Card Game+ for Negative User Reviews

✓ MehNon arcade versions are better. This has no online, and I think the AI is poor. They also constantly give clubs for no reason when passing cards..MulciborVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Fun, but a jokeI have have rounds where I have the queen each time at the start (through draw or pass), seems statistically unlikely. Other “players” never throw themselves under the bus to avoid a Shoot the Moon scenario. Hints recommend plays that cause point collection whereas I ignore it and end the hand with no points. In other words, hints are a poor guide. “Players” throw down cards that I can’t make sense of. Say I drop as Jack of Hearts, player drops a King of Hearts and collects four points. In the next hand, on all hearts, the same player drops a 10 of Hearts. Now, maybe the “player” wants to collect in order to control the next toss/hand, but that just doesn’t make sense that I can determine. So, on the computer player aspect, meh..MagsoxVersion: 1.3.3

✓ The AI always knows.The AI players seem to always know your hand and purposely try to force you to play the worst cards at the worst possible time. I’m also kind of convinced that (with the exception of the cards you pass) they all share the same pool of cards to they have maximum opportunity to get one over on you..Drew-ORVersion: 1.4.6

✓ Great game, but with one fatal flawLove the game, but the sound !! Why is there no way to mute the sound?? After each round there’s an extremely loud annoying victory sound, so loud it sous le it’s going to blow the speakers on my iPhone. Why can this not be silenced without having to silence the entire phone?.A6zj6Version: 1.4.6

✓ I love this game butI really wish it had a friend option, global ranking option, or at least trilogies like the other arcade games. I’ve long since “beat” the charts… 500 points ahead of 1st. I like this one better than the others I’ve played, I just wish it didn’t feel so overlooked..AdarrVersion: 1.4.6

✓ Game CheatsMaybe I’m reading this wrong but it seems to me that when I’m given the Queen of spades the computer players like to run spades as soon as possible however, when I pass the Queen off they seem to play off on a suite other than spades and I end up with the Queen. No consistency with trying to get the Queen out unless I have it or I have high cards in another suite which then gets played. I don’t mind losing but when I feel setup more than not it’s not worth playing. I’ll try another author’s game to see if they can create a game that plays fairly..Garbage GPSVersion: 1.3.3

✓ It cheatsSo the higher you go the harder it gets. Shoot the moon becomes more common for the AI players and it’s as if the other players don’t really have hands dealt they just get played so you win less and less games. Also disproportionate amount of times the player to your left has the queen spades meaning if you play the king or ace you get the queen 99% of the time. The only way to fix it is to play cards not expected. But you will still lose.FattystubbsVersion: 1.3.3

✓ AI is not smart so the game is not enjoyabbleI set the hard mode and play the competitive games still AI opponents are not smart. It is like playing with little kids who don't understand the rules. I played hundreds of games and was never the last. I got the first place in more than 50% of the games. I should be placed the last in about 25% of the games, and the first in 25%. Many times I see AI make stupid mistakes, like not getting rid of Q-spades when it gets a chance. I wish there was a way to set AI to be better. I keep playing hoping that as I level up the AI will get stronger, but it does not. So I stopped playing..BayramyVersion: 1.3.3

✓ DeletedCompetitive games are rigged. garbage.Jumpin'mackVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Too stupid to play fairThis is my 4th review. They delete reviews not favorable. While the layout is very nice, it’s ruined by the cheating. I’ve played thousands of games and the cheats repeat themselves every game. It is gratifying to beat cheaters so that’s why I play. Here are some examples: All deals are skewed to disadvantage the live player. I get the 2 of clubs 90% of the time. I never get the jack of spades, it’s always on my right. I have never had a hand without at least two high spades, tens of thousands of hands, the odds are improbable. One bot is always the loser, he takes points for the winner. This is seen by incredibly numb moves, taking unnecessary points so the designated winning bot has a chance. The winning bot should play the lottery, never has high spades but does have several low spades, every hand. They gang up on you. No effort is made to set the other bots. No effort is made to stop them from shooting the moon. All efforts are towards the live player. This is not realistic play, ganging up on one player would never fly in real life. It’s truly amazing how much disregard they have for the customer, it must be easier to cheat and ignore the customer rather than hire intelligent programmers with ethics. There is no progressively harder play, just more flagrant and infuriating levels of cheating. It really should be embarrassing to put a game out like this with no effort to be fair. Beating them, despite the flagrant cheating, is very gratifying..SailorcrewVersion: 1.4.6

✓ Fun for a whileIt’s mostly fun but the developers have made it so you’ll likely never reach or complete the Grandmaster level. The players ahead of you keep getting additional points when not competing. Even though I win matches I lose ground against the AI leaders. After making the top 3 of the leaderboard, down only 10 points from 1st place, I’m now 60+ points behind after winning several matches. Bad AI..Davo376Version: 1.3.3

✓ SuperBanker45% of the time you’ll get first place, 29% you’ll get second, and so on. I’ve played 3,356 games with 34,034 rounds played. You can’t move the peg. I checked my wife’s statistics, she had the exact same, but her 4th places are higher than mine (I have a bit more 3rd. Now that I know this, it isn’t as enjoyable - I’ll still keep playing hoping for a change. Developer, isn’t there a way to still have a fun game without maxing out at 45% first place?.CallMeBankerVersion: 1.4

✓ No claim featureThis game would be amazing outside of the time that is wasted playing out a hand that has already been won by shooting the moon. It is pointless to manually finish a hand that has already been decided. Please please add a claim feature to speed up this game. Otherwise it is fun. Add a claim feature and I can change my rating to 5 stars that it deserves..BahamianBroVersion: 1.4.6

✓ The bots work together against you, not fun to playThe game isn’t fun to play once you reach Silver tier. I’m currently on Platinum II. The game deals you bad hands often, all the bots seemingly work together against you which makes the game feel unfair. Examples: when you have the Queen of Spades, all the bots throw out spades on new turns to force you to throw out your QoS. Another example is the bot that comes after your turn tends to have the Queen of Spades waiting just for you. You’re not playing against actual people (it would be cool if you could), but it shouldn’t feel like each bot are working together against you. It should feel like each bot are working for themselves. There should be increasing difficulties, but it should be balanced to make the game fun, not stressful, and it should feel fair..DayumQuitPlayinVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Fun…at firstIt was fun at first, then beginning levels were easy and then got more challenging, but now that I am in Gold tier it’s impossible to win. I am forced to take the queen of spades almost every hand. The computer will play the cards in such a way that no matter what I take it. Which means I have lost about 8 games in a row (all the games since I entered gold tier). I understand it’s supposed to get harder but this should be statistically impossible to get the queen this many times. And if you start out taking 25 points you can’t restart the game. I’m 1/4 of the way to losing and just have to keep playing through until the loss..Julie2574959261749Version: 1.3.3

✓ Needs Jack of diamonds rule and shooting the moonThis is a simple hearts game. It’s polished, it works, but for advanced heart players it does not include the Jack of diamonds rule, where jacks are -11 points. It also doesn’t include “shooting the moon” where you take all the point cards and give everyone else 26 points. My friends and I would also make it harder by giving everyone else 37 points by making you have to take the Jack too. I only give this three stars because people who play with these rules won’t like this game..DarkTreaderVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Not as bad as their spades gameThe good news is that Hearts isn’t as bad as their Spades game—which I deleted because the bot is so incredibly bad. For the second time (I’ve noticed) the game miscalculated our scores. This is simply unacceptable. Both times, one of the bots took 13 hearts and the other took the Q of spades but three of us were given 26 points. This developer doesn’t deserve to be supported for this sloppy work. For hearts: rules to live by 1) 95% of the time, the Q of spades is held by the player to your left. 2) If you have done very well on the first 3 games, you will end up with the queen on the 4th game—it is usually played off-suit. So think unconventionally for that hand. The developer says the hands are random but there are definitely rules behind the “random” hand like short suit the bot then create a random hand with the rest of the cards..KayArrasVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Blatantly riggedIt’s not rigged in that you always lose, but somehow it’s so easy for the computers to “shoot the moon” (which i’ve never heard of this dumb term being used before) but as soon as you try to, suddenly the computers know exactly what you’re doing and you can’t. also how likely is it that the other three computers suddenly all have cards lower than you in order, for example the other three players have a three, four, and a five and then even with a six you have to take all the hearts. i get this happening once in a while but it happens way too often for this to be chance..Sj..Version: 1.3.3

✓ Game is ok not anything to brag aboutThe game is ok but not any different from other versions of card games. Once you’ve beaten it a few times you can actually tell how the deck is stacked against you. How the game picks one particular opponent and favors it. I mean for example out of 20 different deals I was given the 2 of clubs and the Queen of spades 16 times but the bad part was no other cards to help back them up. I did find a way to get the game back to deal with true randomness. But you have to purposely loose three games in a row and throw the computer off. Lol But there is nothing random about how it deals the cards..Ladman14Version: 1.4.6

✓ Fun but quickly boringI had been looking forward to versions of hearts and spades that wasn’t full of ads and stupid in app purchase (what a curse you unleashed on the app store mr Apple) but the lack of useable setting or options and the inability to end a game start fresh is a royal pain in the sitting area. Additional: An option to view hands already played is needed so you check check what cards are still live..CallanheapVersion: 1.3.3

✓ UnrealThis game gets much too hard at Diamond 3 level. You’re trapped with the Queen of Spades one way or another time after time. Up until this level the algorithms were fair, but now the game is heavily loaded against you. I’m not a statistician, but being regularly trapped with the Queen (no way of avoiding it) 3 times in succession is a lazy way of making the game harder. Not impressed..DaveJ444Version: 1.3.3

✓ Like the game but it’s fixedYou can play so many rounds and then it’s fixed, good game but frustrating, very predictable but difficult to put it down..Nicola3009!Version: 1.3.3

✓ AI is horrible…I’ve played this and the spades game by the same company. There is no strategy that can be applied to defeat an AI that’s always set up to give you the Queen no matter what- I’ve hand hands with the lowest sets of numbers, hands without any spades, and yet somehow the Queen is ALWAYS with the left player. You will automatically be assigned the highest and lowest sets of cards in a suit to ensure that there’s no middle ground or way of strategizing how to avoid the Queen. It’ll get to the point where you can look at your hand and predict you’ll end up with the Queen, somehow. I had an entire round where EVERY. SINGLE. HAND. resulted in me ending up with the Queen. And the higher you go in rank, the worse it gets, because the bots are preprogrammed to ensure that the closer you get to completing a rank, the more games you’ll end placing last. That is highly irritating and frustrating, by the way. Wish this game involved actual strategy instead of being so bad that you know you’re always going to be slammed with the Queen, somehow..NeellixxVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Why does it get so much harder?Starts off playing fairly enough but as you progress through the levels it cheats. I note that the devs assure us that it doesn’t in another review but I would counter that by saying “oh yes it does”. I was at Diamond 2 when I’ve stopped playing because the “luck” of the other players was becoming unbelievable and the game stopped being enjoyable. I can win about 1 in 8 hands if I’m lucky, and that requires me to be dealt a ton of low cards and even then I’m often ambushed with the Queen by an AI player who couldn’t possibly reasonably think that it was safe to play. Fun while it lasted but app deleted I’m afraid..Jon_DodsonVersion: 1.3.3

✓ EhFirst of all, it’s missing some actual rules to the actual hearts game. Specifically the shoot thr moon part. Second of all, allllllllllll the sudden I’ll go 10 straight matches with getting the queen of Spades. It’s pretty obvious that the game is set up to make sure you cannot go too many rounds without actually winning out. All while I’ll watch other players win out entire matches. I’m to the silver category already but have too many frustrating rounds where I’m scratching my head wondering why everyone plays clubs, then a diamond. Then a spade. Almost every single round in that exact order. I has a sense of feeling rigged without the sense of feeling a bit….random as i think it should..Jeff m kellyVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Would be 5 stars butThe game play is okay but sometimes I want to abandon a game in progress and there is no way to do that. I’ve written to support several times to ask them how to do that and each time they respond with a method that doesn’t work. Further they seem to think it’s a ridiculous ask..ZylerzeeVersion: 1.3.3

✓ FatalThis is a very fun game until it’s not. There’s no difficulty setting, you just climb the ranks every time you play. Climb quickly when you win and slowly when you don’t, but always climbing. So you will hit a wall eventually. Eventually you’ll see shot the moons multiple times a game. Computer opponents won’t stop each other but they sure will stop you. Just give us a difficulty setting and you can have 5 stars. Until then it’s a 1..NwmacVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Good fun until it starts to cheatOne AI got ‘shoot the moon’ three times in a row. All other players have had loads. Not me. Quite often, player on the left play queen of spades to my 2 of diamonds . Next hand it plays a 3 or 4 of diamonds. Deleted..John SmoleskisVersion: 1.3.3

✓ AI but biasedOk but not sure about ai of other players… Real world people would be better….Aussiemate32Version: 1.3.3

✓ Keeps crashing my iPad AirThis game keeps crashing my iPad and causing it to crash the OS. How is this possible.HiddenSkyeVersion: 1.3.3

✓ RiggedAfter playing a while it is clear that the deck it’s stacked and it is a rigged game. Example: almost anytime I start a round playing the 7 or 5 of clubs and the queen of spades has not been played, it gets played on me. It has happened way too many times on those particular cards for it not to be a coincidence. Also, based on the way the deck is shuffled and played and pretty sure all three other players are playing out of the same hand at times. Not all the time mind you, but at times. Once you move up the leader board this becomes obvious. The first game you play in 24 hours you have a pretty good chance of coming in 1st or 2nd place. After that, you will constantly get the queen of spades played against you and you cannot avoid it. Also, that is when you will notice cards you passed in one direction will suddenly be in another player’s hand. Oh well, it was fun until the cheating became really obvious. Now I’ve deleted it..WillemPennVersion: 1.4.6

✓ AI is predictable and impossible to win at higher levelsThe AI in this game is very poor. Without fail I know what the AI will do. Break hearts, and next round the AI plays hearts. Try to do shoot the moon, AI holds highest heart card until last round. No one would hold a high heart 10 tricks from end of game. I am an expert player but can’t get more than 2nd place in a game from Gold tier up. Deleting app until AI can be fixed..Maestro of OzVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Doesn’t seem random, no way to quit.It just seems you generally have multiple of every suit in every single hand. I’m sure if I really tried to notice other patterns I would. And I tried, but there seems to be no way to end a game. You can switch to a “relaxed” game-which I have no idea what that is-but then if you try to switch back it just opens up the old game again. I can only assume the high reviews are from people that haven’t played much hearts..AdrocksenvyVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Fun but Obvious FlawsIt’s fun and easy to progress, but each game seems to have the same rhythm. You start off good, then have a string of bad hands until you catch up to your opponents (and sometimes surpass them) only to finish strong in first or second place the majority of the time. This is the problem of playing against bots. Needs real players or I’m sure I’ll get tired of this quickly because it’s just the same game on repeat..AfcubsfanVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Rigged the more you playI’m playing as an experiment. At Bronze 1 level, here’s a typical game for me: perfect round, perfect round, perfect round, 2 points, perfect round, 20 points, 15 points, 17 points, perfect round, perfect round, 18 points, 20 points, 15 points and I lose. Ending up with the Queen of spades multiple times in a row just because I was audacious enough to play a 3 of clubs is not random behavior. Also, if a computer player is going for shoot the moon, you have to stop it. The other computer players will not..NeuredVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Terrible AII play hearts on card night with friends every week. I’m a solid hearts player. No strategies can work in this game when all 3 opponents are working against you every hand. Even if you are 20 points higher than everyone else they will hold the queen of spades until they can dump it on you. I’ve watched the players hold off on throwing it on the lowest player to dump it on me on the next hand when I’m high in points..Dus10aVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Big time mehDeals are too easy. Should be fully randomized. Levels are meaningless with dated animations that cannot be skipped. No multiplayer options. Apple should not sully their Arcade offerings with this trash. Please keep stats but get rid of the meaningless levels for all of your games. Offer online multiplayer. Bring this game up to the level of A-Star’s Hearts+.Thor_72Version: 1.4.6

✓ The more you play the crazier the algorithm getsI'm at the Grand Master level (The Ultimate tear, apparently). What's happening at every round is statistically impossible. Every game has 2-5 shoot the moons, all 3 opponents play in unison against you and there's no strategy. You do get to finish 2nd occasionally and 3rd and last more frequently, and first once in a while. However, even when you win, you feel like you were let to win by the other three with not much tactic from your end. It's become very predictable as well. Based on what cards I open with and what I'm given by others, I can guess with a pretty good certainty how it'll end. It was fun at the beginning, but not any more. Will be looking for alternatives..Chuck-jrVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Terrible at higher levelsThe algorithm that randomizes the cards is absolutely AWFUL as you progress. Not even close to real world. It varies the difficulty by just repeatedly dealing bad hands and stacking the other computer players so that you are forced to take the Queen or have an excessive amount of face cards or face and middle cards. Whatever computer opponents is the “good” one always has an unrealistically low hand for every hand in a round. The game just had one computer player shoot the moon twice in a row and another one round later in the same game. Simply NOT realistic at all and NOT enjoyable..JayG2Version: 1.3.3

✓ Annoying!!!!So many times you will accidentally play a card. It’s very frustrating. The game should have a more distinct gesture for playing a card. It is far too easy to accidentally tap the wrong card. Also it’s obviously rigged. The player to your left will always keep the QH all other players will always pass the player to your left or you the QH. All players play as if they can see all of the hands and are a team against you. Sure this increases how challenging it is as you level up, but it is not realistic..OqionVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Ok but not the best Hearts versionNo jack diamond option The ‘hard’ version is super easy No variation in AI playing style.Zymurgy 1Version: 1.3.3
