Hearts program cheats! I've specifically caught the game cheating. Passed Ace & King Spades to the right & they ended up across the table. I think this is BULL I would expect a program to play by the rules!

    I will download that version and try it out, then. But wow, breaking hearts with other cards still in-hand has to be the worst thing yet.

    I have been playing A.I. Factory Hearts for the Android platform on my tablet.  I paid the 99 cents and it's worth every one of them.

    The first two games were obviously gifted to me.  My cards were so easy to play and the bots played theirs so stupidly.  Then the hammer fell on me.  I don't know why it waited for two games since I never even tried the free version.

    A.I. Factory uses the same cheats as MS Hearts: 

     -the 2-3-4-5 cutsie;

     -suits split between only two players happens A LOT;

     -the bot holding the Q Spades is void in one suit;

     -the bots help each other to shoot-the-moon;

     -the bots pound the points on to the human player even when he already has the high score;

     -in nearly every game there is a "chosen" player who can't be made to take any points.  Once in a while the human is the chosen.  

    I have seen one bot lead the Q Spades with Hearts already broken which busts them over 100.  The only logical reason for that must be to allow one of the other bots to win.  Mostly the play of the bots is erratic, unpredictable.

    Games are decided beforehand by the apportioning of the cards.  Singleton A or K or Q Spades on hold hands are not uncommon.  Likewise the passing of some combination of A-K-Q Spades is rewarded by getting one or two of them passed to you, just like in MS Hearts.

    Generally speaking, when I won I did it easily.  When I lost I never had a chance.

    On the manufacturer's web site the standard disclaimer for complaints is "it's proving more difficult to [insert glitch here] than we thought".

    Having said all that the killer is seeing the game lead a Heart before they were broken.  I saw it and a few cards later saw that the player did not have all-hearts in it's hand.  If programming glitches like that exist then you can't trust the game at all.

    A.I. Factory Hearts is worth 99 cents.  Now I continue my quest for a card game with random deals elsewhere.

    Sorry but that was quite a while ago and I don't remember if it was AI Factory or what. Now I just play MS hearts on my pc, in spite of the imperfections.

    Hello Again.  Could you please tell me which Android platform Hearts game you are playing?  I have an Android tablet and I installed the AI Factory version of Hearts.  It's garbage just like MS Hearts.  It has non-random deals and the games are mostly 3 against 1.  The program gifted me the first two matches, the bots played so stupidly.  But after that I have been a spectator.  In the eight subsequent matches I have not been dealt a single chance to shoot-the-moon, not in the cards dealt and not in hindsight after seeing what was passed to me.   All I can do is try to not take points.  And that's difficult when the game "deals" you a singleton Q Spades on two hold hands in the same game; when you win the Q Spades with a 4 in the first go-around for a suit twice in a game; when one bot will not attempt to stop another from shooting the moon.

    The only A.I. I have seen so far in AI Factory Hearts was when North led out the Ace of Hearts and East sloughed off the King when it could have played a small Heart.  If not for me North would have shot the moon.
