### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Pretty fun

*2017-02-11*

Deals cards fast. Heads up , so no waiting for other players. Good for practicing hand strategy.

### 3/5 — Omaha

*2016-12-27*

I love the game but it closes down frequently and if I reopen it , I am back where I was when it crashed. It might do this several times per hand dealt.

### 3/5 — Okay but...

*2016-09-26*

Doesn't recognise flushes so your flush gets beaten by straights and 2 pairs etc.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2016-08-06*

Crashes in middle of hands never stable when it runs it's fun but that's not often

### 2/5 — Crashes a lot

*2016-05-22*

Program crashes frequently but at least recalls where it left off.

### 4/5 — Decent game

*2015-11-13*

Good way to learn Omaha. But I had one incident where the same card was in the opponent's hand and on the board. Just a odd coding mistake?

### 3/5 — Beware in-app purchases

*2015-11-05, version 1.2.1*

Update does not work. Has been reported.

### 2/5 — Crashes toooo frequent

*2015-09-19, version 1.2.1*

Would have gotten higher rating if it didn't crash every other draws.

### 3/5 — Blue tooth issues

*2015-03-15, version 1.2.1*

Pairing with another on blue tooth is challenging. Will sometimes load and other times no.  Enjoyable game when it is working.

### 3/5 — Omaha

*2015-03-12, version 1.2.1*

1 on 1 O. K. but would b lot better with 9 person table 4 free

### 2/5 — ISSUES

*2015-02-10, version 1.2.1*

I was playing and all seemed great. Well made app. Until I got a flush and 'lost' to the computer's 2 pair. Fix this that's BS. I lost a LOT of chips because of that.

### 2/5 — Not intuitive gameplay

*2014-12-08, version 1.2.1*

Hard to learn, not pleasant once you learn it. Hard to keep track or know who it's on.

Also can't see opponent card when you fold, even computer.

AI seems to play by fixed rule, so not very interesting. 

Just don't see the point, really.. Why build something mediocre?

Frequent crashes

### 1/5 — Constant crashes

*2020-11-13*

Frequent crashes, if they fix this I would gladly pay for an upgrade.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2018-08-07*

Crashes all The Time, Beginner Level is a pure joke

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2018-06-08*

Refuses to find Bluetooth devices, despite the devices sitting next to each other and both discoverable.

### 1/5 — They don't listen

*2016-04-05*

I have been playing this game for years with no problems. All of a sudden it closes during the game. I contacted the company but there have been no fixes.

### 1/5 — 不具合があり、無視された

*2016-01-13*

アップグレードを購入してダウンロードしようとしたが、何回やってもフリーズするだけ。開発者ページで連絡したが、返事がこない。無料版はやってもいいけど、アップグレードをしない方がいい。

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2015-10-23, version 1.2.1*

Since upgrading to the i0S 9 series the game locks up/freezes during play.  Very upsetting because it's one of my favorite games!!

### 1/5 — Good

*2014-12-07*

Poorly programmed ! Computer Hits unbelievable amounts of hands. From 10 hands the computer hit 8 and draws out the last two. Really annoying that the computer always has a full hause when you have a straight . When you have trips the Computer higher trips. When you have a flush computer has a Full Hause.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2014-08-25, version 1.2.1*

TERRIBLE

### 1/5 — No support

*2014-08-09, version 1.2.1*

Had an issue with the upgrade and emailed 3 times. No answer 3 months later. 3 bucks down the drain.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Always fun

*2020-03-29*

I always enjoy playing. I wish there were multiple opponents in each hand.

### 5/5 — Settings

*2017-06-10*

This app lets you play OMAHA.... no stopping for instructions or strategy ...just OMAHA! Woo hoo from Canada

### 5/5 — Free PLO

*2017-04-02*

Only free PLO game I could find. Good app to learn the game

### 5/5 — Fun!!!!'

*2016-11-27*

Great game

### 5/5 — Good

*2016-08-03*

It is great

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2015-10-27*

It's free and you can play heads up pot limit Omaha. The only thing I see so far that I don't like is the number of chips (100) combined with the blinds being increased so often. It's tough to play a good number of hands without one of the players being short stacked. Then it's just who has the best hole cards.

### 5/5 — オバマじゃなくてオマハね。

*2015-10-23*

テキサスホールデムに比べてルールは複雑ですが、気軽に遊べていいと思います。

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2015-09-11, version 1.2.1*

Great one on one Omaha , Big Fun And Skill.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-01-13, version 1.2.1*

*****

### 5/5 — Full Table Version

*2014-10-06*

This is a great app, but playing heads up is totally different than playing at a full table. A full table version would be wonderful.
