Hearts ◆

I’ve been playing this game for a few years. Off and on. It’s a mindless game I use to just tune out for a while. But with this last upgrade either in the game or with latest iOS update I want to delete it because if the massive increase of ads! Before the update it was an ad every few rounds and it only took a few seconds for the ‘x’ would show up to exit out. Now, it’s an ad after each round AND you have to click up to five times to get out of the ad!!! Why!?!?!? Leave well enough alone. We already have to click out of the ad, why make it five times as hard and two times as often! Why did you ruin such a good game?!?! Now, I know that game developers/companies get money when ads are part of their game play, but why is it so important to ruin a game with increases like this when you had such a good thing going already? What’s the point? Do you want us to get frustrated and delete the game? Because that’s what will likely happen. And I’ll be wary of the future games put out by these game developers. Just quit it with the ads as often and quit making it take twice as long to click out of them. Oh, and it’s a lot more glitchy now. Quits more often and there are mini flashes during the game play where the cars are sitting on the screen. I could live with these two irritations but the ads? IDK.

I’d give it a 5 stern review if they’d change one thing... in your hand they have Hearts and a Diamonds next to each other. You cannot simply glance at your hand and see the different suits. This is the only app I’ve played that does it this way. Other ham that, I love this app. I even paid the no ad price.

Great programming for setting up this game! It seems they’ve got the advertisements properly set in this version! There’s only one full add in between games and there’s continuous adds above the playing field which doesn’t interfere with the game. Wonderful “free” game in that respects. In my Apple iPad I use for the game, there is only one way to hold my tablet, vertically, instead of horizontally. Give us an option, please. Now, to the game itself. I like the options so far for the game including shooting the moon of course, and the jack of diamonds as a -10 point card. I would like to suggest three more options for the game: 1) shooting the sun (taking all the tricks), total points of 50, plus or minus, 2) if a player gets a 100 points exactly, that player goes down to “0”, 3) when a player shoots the moon or sun, that player has the option of sending them self down or send the players up. During the play, if this is at all possible for programming, the computer players need to be better players during the hand. For example, I am constantly shooting the moon. The lowest two scores I have so far is a -40 and a -50! When a player is shooting, the computer players incessantly sluff their highest cards to their lowest cards. When the jack of diamonds is a count card, they don’t recognize the card as such. They just play that card as a normal high sluff card. They also need to recognize a player is shooting. So, when a player plays a low heart card, the others follow suit and plays even lower. So, B&CO, give me a challenge and beat me!! However, great game and I give it a 5 Star raiting! Just plain fun!!
