### 3/5 — Don’t play tournaments

*2026-08-30*

My previous review was pretty salty. The bad UI had cost me a tournament buy-in. Hijack took forever to respond to that review but…

I’m changing my review from 1 star to 3 stars. I still can’t play on my MacBook because the location bug still exists. When I play on iOS (phone/tablet), there is still a delay when I get moved to a new table before I can actually see the action on that new table but… 

The software is actually better than it used to be. I can actually play cash games and tournaments without fear that buggy software will just eat my money. And the games are as soft as the software is slow. Because of that, it’s the main site I play on. 

Hijack: if you want to improve the rating further: speed things up (10ish seconds of nothing between hands is wild), fix the MacOS bug so I can play on my computer, and create a better multi-table experience.

**Developer response:** Hi CC,
 Thanks for updating your review (we are updating our reply too :). Your feedback is appreciated and we're sharing it with our team to improve speed and multi-tabling. Also, I'd be glad to work with you on the buy-in you mentioned, please email: support@hijackpoker.com attn: Morgan.

### 5/5 — Hijack

*2026-06-17*

Many, many free tournaments on this app and it pays out immediately. Withdrawals and deposit’s are simple and while I don’t play cash games too often there’s usually 3-4 tables at each stake even small micro ones.

### 1/5 — Worst Poker App

*2026-08-24*

I’ve sent several messages, pics and videos to the chat service. They don’t care. My screen freezes when I try to call a huge bet. When I have HUGE hands. This is not a coincidence. Not all the time. I’ve lost several dollars because I couldn’t call and several dollars because they kicked me out or froze randomly .  Not to mention…The guy with 3% chance to win, always wins. So on the app, it’s not 3%. It’s more like 25%. This app clearly sets u up to lose hands to generate more buy-ins and deposits. Join me in reporting them to the BBB and the SEC.  They are scamming and committing fraud against their consumers. This is not fair play. Texas should do better than this app

**Developer response:** Thank you for updating your review. I appreciate your time. I’d be glad to review the messages, photos and videos you referenced; please send them to my attention (Morgan) at support@hijackpoker.com. Fair play is important at HiJack. Accounts found to violate our Terms of Service, including through collusion or other prohibited gameplay, may be restricted or closed. -Morgan

### 1/5 — Terrible decision to make the change

*2026-08-07*

It seems that every time they choose to do an update it’s always for the worst. The newest update is completely broken. Terrible lag times not being able to take your seat after you enter a tournament getting signed out in the middle of a hand having to go through the time of signing back in justifying your hand is folded. If you wanna deal with nonsensical issues, that have nothing to do with Poker, this is the site for you. If you just wanna play cards on a platform that works I’d look elsewhere.

**Developer response:** Hi Mike, Thanks for the detailed feedback. We've continued improving speed and stability since the update and we'd be glad to hear how the latest version is working for you, please send a message to us via in-app chat or contact details on our website. - Morgan

### 1/5 — Login

*2026-06-21, version 26.6.3*

What’s the issue with the login? I keep getting logged out and then it won’t let me log back in for sometime. I am registered in the tournament and I can’t even log in to play.

### 1/5 — Worst software ever and the site will steal your money

*2026-06-21, version 26.6.3*

This site has literally the worst software of any poker site ever.  It’s painfully slow and filled with errors including shipping the pot to the wrong player.  On top of that the support will simply ban your account and seize your money for absolutely no reason.

### 1/5 — Don’t play

*2026-06-19, version 26.6.3*

Scam

### 1/5 — Worst Poker App

*2026-06-09, version 26.6.3*

Too many cheaters. Too many bots. Programmed to let their influencers win. The same people win. They just happen to call your all-in with 8-4 off and flop the nuts. They will always send people to your table to knock you out.  The setups are crazy af. Too many AA v KK. I could go on and on

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2026-06-06, version 26.5.6*

This app is pure garbage. I would never use it.

### 1/5 — New app fail

*2026-05-31, version 26.5.6*

I downloaded the update just now to find that my account has been disabled?  I was literally playing 7 hours ago. Convenient that this happens on the morning of the $100k tournament I qualified for all month.

### 1/5 — rigged game

*2026-05-22, version 26.5.4*

corruption at its finest dont download

### 1/5 — Worts poker app. No certified RNG. No access to hand histories past the previous hand. Avoid it.

*2026-05-17*

This app is a joke. My screen freezes in the middle of big pots, but the table keeps going — and HiJack auto‑folds my hand while I’m stuck staring at a frozen screen. I can open other tables and watch them run perfectly, but my active hand is folding itself. Support blames your internet and says they “can’t access” any previous hands, even when you send them video proof.

On top of that, I’ve had phantom hands where players who already folded suddenly reappear, start betting, and somehow hit their one‑outer. It doesn’t happen every session, but when it does, it’s unbelievable.

And then there are the 3 to 5 insane bad‑beat hands every 1–2 hours — hands so ridiculous they make the Garrett vs. Robbi hand look normal. Honestly, that famous hand makes more sense than what happens on this app.

No real hand histories, no transparency, constant glitches, and gameplay that feels completely unreliable. Based on my experience, stay far away from this app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for you Solartrio for your review. With the latest version of the app, we hope the speed is to your satisfaction. We're available via in-app chat if you'd like to further discuss any of the other issues you raised. -Morgan

Olivia creates the kind of atmosphere that keeps people coming back. She’s welcoming, upbeat, and knows how to make everyone feel included from the moment they walk in. The games were well organized, the energy stayed positive all night, and the crowd reflected the great environment she creates.
