Keeps crashing. ### 4/5 — Please fix *2015-10-05, version 4.4.1* The game is very good but recently it has started to freeze in the midst of play.

Nice if it stopped freezing. ### 1/5 — Unacceptable *2015-09-29, version 4.4.1* Have tried hundred of times to upgrade this game but in vain. It looks that you are not interested.

It seems there’s no online multi player or blue toooth anymore, RIP great game. ### 1/5 — Quits *2020-09-30, version 4.4.2* Keeps crashin ### 1/5 — Unfair *2019-01-15, version 4.4.2* All three computer players get much better cards. Just to make sure I went "all in" against all three players and lost 75 % of the time. If you want frustration play this app ### 1/5 — Terrible *2017-08-18, version 4.4.2* They actually want money for this game. The AI stinks. The game keeps going off and you have to report in the computer gets much better points then the player. ### 1/5 — Seems like a sham *2017-01-19, version 4.4.2* Logged in to play against a friend, wifi version doesn't work, Bluetooth version doesn't work, comp AI doesn't work. Don't buy this. ### 1/5 — No work *2017-01-15, version 4.4.2* Bluetooth play don't work ### 1/5 — Unstable App *2016-02-02, version 4.4.1* Loved the game before OS and subsequent game upgrades. Now 1 grand or maybe 2 is all I get before it locks up. Is ok as a tv commercial diversion but useless for real poker. ### 1/5 — Will not give up grade *2016-01-22, version 4.4.1* I have to give it one star I would give it less if I could cause I paid for the up grade about a month ago and it just locks up when ever it try's to give me the upgrade it did see where I paid for it but it will not download the upgrade other than that it is a great way to have fun ### 1/5 — Freezes *2015-12-08, version 4.4.1* IPad Air, iOS 9 up to date. Freezes every game. Used to be a good game. Don't bother ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why suddenly crashing? *2020-10-08, version 4.4.2* Have had game for some time. Single player, just for fun and challenge. Used to be quite stable, but past three weeks or so, crashing...crashing...crashing! Yes, my IOS is version 12. Did they make changes for newer IOS and make it unstable when 12 is the IOS? ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-04-13, version 4.4.1* My favorite poker game. Still after 5 years. Update: I've seen a few reviews that claim that the computer cheats in its own favor. I disagree. In heads up play, if you expect to win 60 or 70 percent of hands played you're either dreaming or playing some really poor opponents. Does the computer opponent get lucky? Sometimes. On the other hand, I've seen the computer make some pretty outrageous bets on risky calls. That's not the way to program a cheating app. ### 5/5 — Good card game *2015-04-09, version 4.4.1* Priced to good to pass on. ### 5/5 — great game *2015-03-05, version 4.4.1* Found this to be one of the better heads up games, maybe because I am making money. Join me and try and make a record. see you on the tables. ### 5/5 — Great game *2014-10-03, version 4.4.1* Very cool. One of the best I have played. Easy to learn and use. ### 5/5 — Texas hold em *2014-07-19, version 4.4.1* Good app...fun ### 5/5 — I enjoy this game. *2014-02-20, version 4.4.1* I'm only using it vs computer but it's an enjoyable way to waste some time. ### 5/5 — Light fun... *2014-01-28, version 4.4.1* Fun, light entertainment. You can play by yourself or with others. Won't get you ready for Vegas but fun none the less! ### 5/5 — headsup *2014-01-02, version 4.4* FUN! good time waster!! ### 5/5 — Fun *2013-12-27, version 4.4* Good fun --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
