### 3/5 — Breezy Omaha gameplay but sadly only 1 vs 1

*2023-01-25*

Strangely, there are no real options for playing Omaha-style poker offline out there, even though there are plenty of apps available for offline Hold-Em games. 
This is the one app that allows users to play Omaha offline and it’s great… sort of.
The game play is smooth and easy. But gameplay is limited to being versus only one AI opponent at a time. If this game had the ability to play versus five or even four other opponents, it would be worth not just getting, but paying for in order to obtain that option.
Sadly, since developers haven’t touched this app in many years, it’s safe to assume that it will never reach that stage.
Still, for an app that can be played for free (with some minor limitations) it is worth getting if you enjoy playing Omaha poker and would really like to have some kind of quick and casual way to do it.

### 1/5 — Frequent crashes

*2021-05-06, version 1.2.2*

### 3/5 — Two pair loses

*2018-12-25*

Not bad. Pressure to upgrade is constant. 
I had two pair, King’s over 4s and it lost to the house 9s over 4s!  It wouldn’t recognize my pair of 4s.
