First class service

Started the lessons and they are very good so far. Had an initial problem but received first class response from the developers. All sorted now thank you.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to right our wrong! Happy to have you.

Can’t upgrade

Started with the free version. Tried to take advantage of 7 day free before upgrade. Confirmed payment on my banking app but nothing happened am still on free version. Very frustrating

Response from developer

Whoa, that is definitely not supposed to happen. You confirmed the payment with your bank and we still left you on the free version. That is on us, and we are so sorry. We are on it. To make it right, we want to give you a full year of the upgrade, on us. Email support@pokerskill.com from the address on your Poker Skill account, mention this review, and we will set it up.

Great app

Ok

Good idea. However it is hard to understand what to do sometimes as the language used to help is strange

Response from developer

Honestly, thank you. "The language used to help is strange" is the most useful thing anyone has told me this month. You are right: the hints name poker concepts instead of telling you what to do next. I just rewrote a bunch of that wording and it lands in the next update, which also adds a flag icon next to glossary terms. Tap it on anything that reads badly and I will fix it myself.

Great Strategy

I have been playing online Holdem tournaments and wasn’t improving. I spent a couple hours on this app and placed 2nd on the next tournament! I won 30 times my buy-in. The app taught me a whole new strategy that just kept working.

Response from developer

Second place and 30x your buy-in after a couple of hours in the app is an incredible result. Strategy that keeps working under real tournament pressure is exactly what we want the lessons to build. Congrats on the finish, and good luck in the next one!

Great premise, execution could be improved

I love the idea of the app, but there are a few things that I think could do with improvement. The idea of a poker app similar to Duolingo is genuinely great, I downloaded it literally the first ad I saw for it, and the lessons genuinely are informative. I’m not a poker pro so I can’t exactly speak on the entire validity of the strategies presented in the app but in the online micro stakes games I’ve played these do work. However, there are a few things I think could be improved. For one, I think that being required to finish every lesson prior to the next mixed with the energy system just makes it kind of miserable for anyone choosing to use the free version of the app (especially if you did not pick the correct level), but I do understand that it pushes people to want to try the plus version so it makes sense. I think that doing away with one of these things for free users would retain a lot more people. Also just a little nitpicky but personally I find the speed at which the text shows up in a lesson is kind of annoying with how slow it is. Would be perfect if there was a setting where you could change the speed of the animation or disable the animation entirely and just have the text pop up.

Love that you gave us a shot off the first ad and that the lessons are holding up in real micro stakes games. Two tips that should help: you can test forward to skip past lessons you already know (big if you picked the wrong starting level), and tapping while the text is typing makes it appear instantly. The energy system feedback on free is fair and it's with the team. Keep building those skills.

New Interface Sucks

I loved using this app and was on a pretty long streak. But they updated the playing interface to have AI generated characters and look like a real table instead of the minimalistic cartoon setup they had going on. It’s so much harder to track what’s happening with the new interface, the UI is broken on my phone, and it overheats my phone now after like one puzzle for some reason. They did some kind of AI slop update to the app. Would love to have the old app back. Biggest problem is honestly my phone heating up I can’t use the app anymore.

Response from developer

Your phone overheating after one puzzle is not normal — that's a real performance problem, not a taste thing, and it's being worked on as part of a bigger rework. On the new table look: fair callout. We rebuilt it to feel more like a real table, but if it's harder to track the action, that defeats the point. We're a small team shipping updates every week — keep watching, and that streak will be worth restarting.

I am learning so much and love the process. Highly recommended.

Very good; would recommend to anyone

Let me start this by saying that I was a complete fish before installing this app. I thought I knew about poker, but I didn’t. This app has so many specific scenarios, which gives you experience for real tables. The breakdowns are very detailed and do a very good job of explaining when to make a certain play and why. The terminology they use is techy, but not too niche that it becomes a foreign language. Overall, I would recommend this to literally anyone who is starting to become serious about Texas hold ‘em poker.

Thanks so much for sharing this! Really glad the scenarios and breakdowns are helping real-table decisions click. We built Poker Skill for exactly that jump from learning the terms to knowing what to do at the table. Keep building those skills.

Pretty good, uses AI art though.

The app is pretty much the Duolingo of poker. My only complaint is the avatar is AI generated which makes the app look cheap.

Really appreciate this. Duolingo of poker is the learning feel we are aiming for, and fair callout on the avatar looking cheap. The art should make Poker Skill feel more polished, not pull you out of it.

Confusing

I’ve played poker but wth are these questions they don’t explain anything properly like what do you mean rank and letter mean rank ect it’s genuinely insanity and make it more confusing then it needs to be

MMitchellYT17

Response from developer

Yeah, if the wording makes basic poker terms feel more confusing, that is a real miss. Rank, suits, and card labels should be explained plainly, not like a puzzle before the lesson even starts.

Great app

Helps you learn in a straightforward and clean way.

Not free

I downloaded and paid for one month to see if I liked this trainer before committing to a longer subscription. After I canceled the subscription (which I always do immediately so I don’t forget) the app “couldn’t find my account” anymore. Definitely won’t be using this app ever again.

Hi there, thank you for flagging this as it's a bug and our team is absolutely on it. Please email us at support@pokerskill.com so we can help you further, and we're sorry to have given this first impression.

Small blind buttons

It is truly difficult to take a poker app seriously that makes the button the small blind. Get the free trail if you are learning basic poker but cancel after that. There are other apps, books or shows that are better to learn from

Great App

Love this app. Been telling everyone I know about it and I literally go on this everyday. Highly recommend.

There’s Daily puzzles aswell as a learning pathway. A leaderboard has also been introduced and you can now compete against friends.

Brilliant app and can’t wait for it to develop further

Response from developer

This made our day. Going in every day, telling people about it, and using both the learning path and daily puzzles is exactly the loop we hoped Poker Skill could create. Really glad the leaderboard is adding to it too. Thanks for helping push the app forward.

Has potential, needs time

There are too few lessons with more “coming soon” the only other thing you can do after that is puzzles. More lessons needed. Downloaded this off insta, but it should have more development before being advertised as a finished app.

Response from developer

You are not wrong. If the app feels finished in the ad but unfinished once you are in, we have more work to do. Appreciate you calling that out plainly.

Confused

The APP is good but it says you’ve finished all lessons, more lessons are coming soon - There’s no indication as to when these lessons are coming - Could somebody tell me please?

Glad the app is landing for you. Getting to "you've finished all lessons" and then being left hanging is not a great handoff from us. We need to be clearer about what is available now and what is still ahead. Appreciate the nudge.

Really fun and quick to learn

Been awesome doing the quick tutorials and have already learned quite a bit.
