Hearts++ for Android

This is the best Hearts app ever! 🏅🏆♥️👍🤓😍

I’ve played this game for several years, and while it is at times a great time waster, the multi player and single player modes are tainted by very obvious manipulation of dealt hands. It’s maddening. In both modes, this leads to wild swings in results where you’ll lose 15-20 straight games, with no chance of winning based on initial deal. i think they are pushing users to buy tokens for more favorable cards. Also, the developers may see the extreme ups and downs of ratings as a retention feature, keeping user hooked (I know, cynical, but I suspect it’s true). I stopped playing for about 2 years, and when I came back, my draws were phenomenal, and my rating increased by ~400 pts. I believe this is the seeding phase where the developers hope you will spend for in app purchases when your rating is skyrocketing. Now its started the vicious decline, where no matter my strategy, I cannot win a game. Just wish the app dealt cards fairly and randomly, as the user experience of multi player is pretty decent. I will be shopping around for another version.

It’s too easy to run ‘em. Need robots to recognize and stop hearts.

Game was too easy before whatever they changed, but it made more sense. Now all the AI players point only you no matter what the score is, makes absolutely no sense.

I played the single game AI version for years and at the hardest level was able to win about 40% of the time, although their card play choices are predictable making it easier to shoot the moon. Just started playing multiplayer rated games a couple months ago and that has driven me to delete the app. People are rude and quit after one bad hand making the rest of us wait for a timeout before an AI replacement is added. Or they quit with one trick left on the final hand also causing a delay. Why? In addition the deal IS NOT RANDOM. I’ve read others accuse the developers of bias if you don’t buy tokens. I never buy tokens. My game deteriorated in a matter of weeks (300 rating points down) because I get shorted spades on the deal 9 out of 10 hands. This results in me eating the Queen more than half the time because with only 2 spades in hand with one being the Q, K or A after passing cards, I’m screwed. The law of averages tells me the deal is not random. I enjoy the game of Hearts very much but this makes it no fun. Why would I subject myself to that? Looking for a new app.
