Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Hearts Xt is a solid, no-frills implementation of the classic card game. If you're a purist who wants a clean environment to play Hearts without flashy animations or intrusive microtransactions, this is for you. The AI plays at a decent level—it won't let you 'Shoot the Moon' easily, which is the hallmark of a well-programmed card game app.
The customization options for rules (like the Jack of Diamonds bonus or passing styles) allow you to play exactly how you would at the kitchen table. The UI is a bit dated compared to modern polished titles, but it’s functional and easy on the battery. It’s a reliable version of a timeless classic that focuses on the gameplay rather than the bells and whistles.

Tips & Walkthrough
If you find yourself with all the high hearts and the Queen of Spades, don't try to shed them. Try to win every single penalty card to 'Shoot the Moon' and give all your opponents 26 points while you get 0.
Gameplays
Go to the settings menu to enable the 'Jack of Diamonds' rule, which subtracts 10 points from your score if you capture it, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game.

Best out there, except...
Thu Apr 23 2020 TedBikesI have downloaded and tried every hearts game in the App Store. This is by far the best out there. EXCEPT, I’m calling BS on the algo under the hood. You will not be playing 3 players, but rather 1. I’ll explain why. My dad and I are highly skilled in hearts and have logged thousands of games. We’ve mastered card counting and could literally beat anyone and everyone. However, the algorithm that runs this game heavily cheats. You will constantly eat the queen with a 4, sometimes even a 3. And this is when a suit hasn’t gone around once. You can have 4-5 backers and you’ll still eat the queen due to the computer pinning all the tricks to your right. The funniest part is hearts will almost always be broken with the Ace. Who does that? So yes, you can run the deck (almost the only way to win), but even if you have the most amazingly low hand and you can literally duck anything... you won’t be able to. Remember, it’s not 3 people you’re playing. You’re playing 1 person (computer) using 3 hands, so you’re at an extreme disadvantage right away. It’ll destroy the most skilled players. Gotta dock 1 star for that. It’s fun but if you’re skilled, be prepared to be very frustrated.
