I haven’t tried the Bluetooth games but I play ppl all the time just using my phone, the peek function playing against a live person is actually pretty cool. That being said, the ai is extremely easy to beat. The computer checks/calls Preflop, flop, and turn, then ALWAYS bets the river - whether bluffing or not. If you have a hand, even bottom pair, just build the pot up then let the ai bluff the river and call or raise. I dont think they spent much time developing the ai. ### 2/5 — Bluetooth doesn’t work on new devices *2018-11-04* Bluetooth doesn’t work on new devices ### 2/5 — Luckbox Larry plays a stacked deck *2018-04-27* Game is beatable but Luckbox will get all in preflop, be dominated or actually flip over 93off or other rags, 75-80% chance he will spike his 3-6 outer or catch 4 flush or straight cards on the board. It happens often enough it becomes very noticeable that the deck is stacked in his favor. When you need a miracle card you'll get it about 5-10% of the time, Larry will get his 75-80% of the time. ### 1/5 — Исправьте *2018-03-16* Постоянно выкидывает,iphoneSE32,ios11.2.6 ### 1/5 — Broken *2018-01-01* Multiplayer via Bluetooth terminates mid game. Not playable in the current state. ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time! *2017-12-20* App crashes all the time ### 3/5 — Se cierra constantemente *2017-07-23, version 4.4.2* Buena app, me gustó su propósito pero no su desempeño. Constantemente se cierra. ### 2/5 — Computer does not fold *2017-02-13* Decent app but when playing the computer it absolutely does not fold no matter how much you bet or what it has for a hand. ### 2/5 — Locks up& crashes *2017-01-09* Every time I play game it locks up ### 3/5 — Like app Would upgrade BUT--- *2016-11-13* I like this app and would upgrade but it kicks me out so often that I will not. Very frustrating ### 1/5 — Crashes *2016-09-22* Game won't even run long enough for a single hand. ### 4/5 — Review Of App *2016-07-16* The app is impressively well crafted, being the only of its kind in the App Store. Enjoyed it's multiplayer option and different playing styles of each AI. Only complaint is that the AI is way too susceptible for exploitation by good players. Overall: Enjoyable app for hold'em lovers! ### 4/5 — Add multitouch please *2016-07-11* The bet slider is kinda glitchy, it'll be great if you guys make it smoother and add a button to bet 1/2 the pot, the pot, x2 pot, etc for faster betting. It'll also be nice to add multitouch, so players could both check their cards at the same time ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing! *2016-04-09* This is a simple way to practice poker decision making but it crashes every few minutes. Please update with bug fixes! ### 1/5 — 2 player wont work *2016-03-08* I turned on bluetooth and they wanted one of us to purchase a $1.99 upgrade to play together so i purchased it and it still does NOT work! I want my money back! Even after trying to connect on game center, it still wont work! I am furious. ### 1/5 — App fails constantly *2016-01-11, version 4.4.1* Do not use the app very frustrating keeps quitting in middle of games. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly, even after I paid the $1.99 *2020-10-06* How do I get a refund? It’s pretty much unplayable vs friends (both Bluetooth and Online crash constantly) ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time *2020-10-03* Crashes all the time during online play, even with pod version. A complete waste of money on something that is clearly never updated. ### 1/5 — Nul *2020-05-04* Jai fais quelques parties avec mon ami en partie bluetooth ca se passait bien jusqua ce que ca ne marche plus, gros beug et ca marche plus, pas beaucoup de parametres ### 1/5 — App is crashing *2020-04-20* App version 4.4 is crashing on iOS 13.4.1 ### 1/5 — Dealer *2020-03-29* Any body who believes the deal is honest, please call me I can give a good price on the Brooklyn bridge! Besides the computer getting much better cards, the computer wins too many all ins on the river card. The computer can pick any card from the 44 cards left in the deal. I do not believe the deal is honest, after playing thousands of hands. ### 1/5 — Verarsche *2019-09-14* Verbindungsabbrüche über BT und Internet im HU gegen Freunde. Free Version vor 1-2 Jahren war besser, anscheinend wurde damals nicht genug Geld damit verdient. Weg mit solchen Mist Apps. ### 1/5 — Garbage App *2019-06-26* Garbage. Doesn’t connect heads up via Bluetooth ### 1/5 — Don’t design a poker game if you don’t know how to play *2018-12-11* Don’t design a poker game if you don’t even know the rules of the game. This is not how poker is played ### 1/5 — Holdem *2018-11-10* Why does the player Bec get much better cards than than the other 2 players ?The game appears to be fixed. If so this App stinks. The only thing this game tedious you is to never play Texas hold them because the other players get such better cards it’s not even worth trying ### 1/5 — муха залетела в рот *2018-10-11* постоянно вылетает 6s 12 ось ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bluetooth and invite a friend option work *2019-03-13* Haven’t played the computer, but the Bluetooth and invite a friend option work really well. One of you have to upgrade, which is annoying, but for $1.99 it’s worth it if you have someone you want to play with. ### 5/5 — Отличная игра *2017-02-06* Рекомендую ### 5/5 — Good game *2016-12-25, version 4.4.2* بسيار بازي خوبيست و. اعتياد آور اي كاش بيشتر از دو نفر هم ميتوانست بازي كند I like this games ### 5/5 — Good app *2016-09-23* Has good AI play (versus computer) and playing Bluetooth works well.
