I do wish there were more thank just Heads up style though **Developer response:** Glad you're enjoying the game! Stay tuned for more updates and future game modes. ### 5/5 — Will be nice to have 5-6 max *2025-08-19, version 1.0.6* And see the chips graph. Thank you for a free analyze tool. The best game in the App Store! ### 5/5 — Pretty Cool *2025-08-07* I’ve wondered why there isn’t a poker version of chess.com for a while, so it’s cool to see something akin to that executed well. However, I personally find turbo headsup play to be pretty unfun, and I have no reason to subject myself to it for no profit motive, so I don’t really enjoy this app. Still cool to have exist. **Developer response:** Thank your for your kind words and also valuable feedback. Our focus right now is on HU but we're definitely thinking about other formats as well. ### 5/5 — Gamified and Actionable heads up GTO advice. *2025-08-04, version 1.0.4* Great little game. Only quibble is that games start only 25BB deep ### 5/5 — GTO Wizard best *2025-07-21, version 1.0.4* Was man erwartet. Top App und bringt mega fun. Bin auf die Zukunft gespannt. ### 5/5 — Very smooth experience *2025-07-17, version 1.0.3* Very intuitive to play and amazing to improve with the analyze hands feature ### 5/5 — Must Have App! *2025-07-16* This is the game the poker space has been needing for a long time. A competitive poker app where grinding for top leaderboard positions is exhilarating and good play is rewarded. Matches are competitive and quick which is perfect for those looking for a quick match on the go or those who want to grind for the top spot! The match feedback system is top notch and there really is no other game like this in the poker space, truly first of its kind! Request for Bug Fix: Sometimes in the very first hand of a match, when hero is OOP it will show the IPP (First to act) timing out, when the timer hits zero, hero is forced into a check or fold automatically based on villain’s action. There have been countless times where I have a hand such as AQo and wait for my opponent to make his move, to then see him time out, have a raise quickly appear, then my hand auto folds. Fighting within the top 10 where every single rating point counts, this spot really hurts me as I am often forced into a blunder. Haven’t noticed any other bugs but this one. App is in fantastic shape for a new release! Looking forward to being able to play with friends on the app, as I know this is a feature on the browser. Overall, highly recommend this app! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the positive feedback, glad you're enjoying the game. Apologies about the bug, we're working on a fix. ### 4/5 — 非常に良いがバグが気になる。 *2025-07-15, version 1.0.3* ランキングやレーティングの仕組みがとても良いです。固定スタック&ヘッズなのでバンクロールに左右されない実力勝負ができている感覚がありますし、マルチウェイで悶々とするようなこともありません。 致命的なバグが解消されないのは気になります。分散1ハンド目でBBのときにSBのアクションが画面上に反映されず自動チェック/フォールドになってしまいます。 ### 5/5 — Finally able to play and learn poker in a comfortable way *2025-07-13, version 1.0.3* Thank you for making this! ### 5/5 — 手軽で勉強になる *2025-07-03, version 1.0.1* 一回のゲームも短いし、即復習できるのでためになる ヘッズアップだけでもポーカーは奥深いと思わされる それはそれとしてマッチングして1度目のハンドが通信不良か何かで強制フォールドされてしまう事象が見受けられるので改善してほしいですね ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rigged *2026-05-15* It will take some time to figure out, but this is not a fair game. If you play more than ~10 games in a day, you will start losing almost all after that. And the losses will be ridiculous improbabilities like losing 10 consecutive 80/20 favored all ins. Or losing 80% of games where your gto score is higher. Clearly they want to tank people into buying subscriptions. ### 1/5 — Rigged *2026-04-15, version 1.0.21* Always matches you with players who have higher winrate, or sometimes matches you with lower rank player to make you lose. When you duel with underdog, the deck is always rigged against you. ### 1/5 — 確率操作が酷い *2026-04-15, version 1.0.21* GTOの勉強になるけれど確率操作がとにかく酷い。 プレイしたらわかると思いますがストレスが半端なく溜まります。 いろんなポーカーアプリがあるけれど1、2を争うぐらいの確率操作があります。 自分はGTOの勉強のために今後もプレイし続けますが、勝ち負けのみに重点を置いている人にはこのアプリは不向きだと思います。 ### 1/5 — )) *2026-01-30, version 1.0.18* Мне из 5ти матчей ничего нормального не идет в руку, чел за один матч ни разу с 0,33бб не проиграл вс моих 22бб, я вжимал подряд ол-ин чисто ради прикола, клянусь - чел с нулем матчей переехал мои руки раз 6 подряд с парой на флопе/ривере ### 1/5 — バグ *2025-10-31, version 1.0.11* マッチングした後に試合が始まらない ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-07-08, version 1.0.1* Release wants you to accept privacy policy before you can sign in but doesn’t give you an option to. ### 2/5 — 運が一番良いやつが優勝！ *2025-12-15, version 1.0.14* それがポーカーアリーナ。ただのジャンケン勝負。 ジャンケン大会なのに悪いところ ・ジャンケンなのにレート低い相手に負けると倍のポイント失う最低な仕様 ・つまり、同ランク帯以上とマッチングすることを祈らないといけない最低な仕様(低ランクとマッチングしたら終了) 最低限の実力は必要ですが、ジャンケン大会なので、この仕様はさらにストレスを加速させます。 ### 2/5 — Latest update bricked the game. *2025-10-31* As per the title, latest update bricked the game. Match making paired up with other players, but the match never happened. Both competitive and casual matches match up but leave me hanging. **Developer response:** Go to your profile settings, tap Sign out, and then sign in back into the app. This should resolve the issue. We apologize for any inconvenience. ### 3/5 — 良いアプリだが致命的なバグあり *2025-07-07, version 1.0.1* 短時間で勉強もできる素晴らしいアプリですが1ハンド目に強制的にフォールドさせられる致命的なバグがあるのが残念です ### 4/5 — 連続で対戦してしまう事案をなんとかしてほしい *2026-01-30, version 1.0.18* いつもこのアプリを使うのですが、1度対戦したプレイヤーと連続で対戦することが、あります 1回や2回ならまだしも4回連続で対戦することもありました 改善案としては、1度対戦した相手とは24時間経過するまで再戦しないようにシステムを改善してほしいです ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for short stack /heads up *2026-03-23, version 1.0.21* I think this is terrific, kind of like grinding spin and gos. This will absolutely help your game. Especially late in tourneys and turbo/hyper format in general. Addicting too. Cheers guys. ### 5/5 — really good app *2026-02-16* we need chinese please ### 5/5 — Only the best *2026-02-14* This is a really sleek and great app, and I can review and understand my actions immediately after the game is over. It should have WAY more downloads and active users ### 5/5 — 実践を即学習できる *2026-01-25, version 1.0.18* プレイ後にgto的に正しかったかどうかを全ての手で分析してくれるところが良い。 gto wizzardの分析機能をタダで使えるイメージだ。 自分がgto的に正しかったか気になる方にはオススメ。 25bbのヘッズアップでレートアップしていく中、勝敗を決する。 プレイ時間もかかりすぎずちょうど良い。平均は10ハンドほどか？平均的なランクの人でも、8割ほどはgto的に正解の行動をしているため、ゲームが崩壊しているということもない。1v1なのでふざける人は勝手にランクが落ちると思う。 ### 5/5 — So Addicted *2025-12-30, version 1.0.15* This game is so addictive. I love it! I have played a lot of really great games with great players. I can’t wait to see what this developer drops next! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Espectacular *2025-12-21, version 1.0.15* Impresionado por el invento ### 5/5 — ARENA COMP *2025-12-04, version 1.0.14* Like a real arena competition, what a way to make poker simple and yet profoundly fun and competitive. You also get to learn GTO mathematics that can come in handy at times. LOVE IT! ### 5/5 — Very nice app *2025-11-30* Very well made professional looking app. If they add cash games, it would be amazing. **Developer response:** Glad you're enjoying it! Cash games are not planned as of now but stay tuned for new game formats and modes in the near future. ### 5/5 — Klasse Tool, gerne mehr davon. *2025-10-02, version 1.0.8* Klasse App, gerne mehr davon! ### 5/5 — Great for Practicing Poker Skills *2025-09-26, version 1.0.8* Fast-paced games that help me improve my poker skills without risking any money. The app is easy to use and directly connected to the GTO Wizard analyzer. There are plenty of players online, so the waiting time is very short. Thanks to the rating system, everyone is motivated to improve, which makes each game competitive and thought-provoking. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
