## What is Selfie Poker?

A poker puzzle to play by yourself

Selfie Poker is a unique combination of poker and modern puzzle games. Designed specifically for one-handed offline play, it's a perfect fit for whenever you have a free minute. 

Every round you need to build 3 poker hands so that weaker poker hands are placed on top of stronger ones. With 6 cards to choose from, you have plenty of interesting options every turn. Unused cards persist between rounds so every choice matters! 

Get lucky and score tons of points for stronger combinations on higher levels, or fight for survival with bare pairs. It wouldn't be a poker game without luck involved!

Store memories of your best hands as photos, and share them with your friends.

### 2/5 — No stats. Meh

*2023-09-29*

Some stats would make me want to play this more. Or at least a score board, top 20 highest scores with initials. Yep good old fashion scoreboard with initials. Yep, I share my iphone with my family.

### 4/5 — Very clever solo game

*2022-08-31*

It’s so hard to find good solo card games that strike the right balance between casual and strategic. This game nails it. Everything is done right here. And the design is gorgeous. 

I love that it saves progress at all times, because I can only play in short spurts. It’s just easy enough to learn to be accessible, while still providing a unique strategic challenge. You have to think, but it’s not overly hard or frustrating. It’s perfect for semi-casual gamers and strategic thinkers alike. And the component of luck makes it not frustrating. 

I only docked one star because it could use battery optimization, it runs a tad warm and drains a tad more than a game like this should. It’s tolerable though since I play in short spurts anyway. I hope it can someday be updated to mitigate this. It’s not bad enough to avoid playing though. Especially since the developer made it free with no ads or IAP, you can’t complain. This free game is better than most paid card games, and it’s unique, you won’t find anything like it.

I totally recommend this game and applaud the developer for monetizing so generously. You clearly care about the art of good gaming. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Лучший и единственный соло-покер

*2021-10-23, version 1.31*

Взял игру посмотреть, чтобы поддержать разработчика. Игра оказалась настолько интересной, что играю нон-стоп уже три месяца!

### 5/5 — A Brilliant Engaging Game

*2020-04-23*

This is an excellent solitaire game that triggers all of the same areas of my brain that sprang into action playing live games of open-face poker.

I have now played innumerable rounds of Selfie Poker and love its structure and the challenges that it presents. It is perfect.

### 4/5 — Here’s your review

*2019-05-04*

Suddenly, this game is asking for a review after almost every hand. This never happened before, so I guess there must have been an “update”. So, here you go! If I could give zero stars’ I would.

- - - - - 

Update 5/4/2019: After reading the developer’s response, I have revised my rating to four stars. I enjoy playing the game, which is a fun way to pass the time. The game stopped asking for reviews, but I’m not sure if that was because I rebooted my iPad.

**Developer response:** The game hasn't been updated for almost a year so it's not that ) Also, on iOs you can't ask for a review more often than 3 times per year or something. So it does look like a bug, but I'm not sure I can do anything about it.

### 2/5 — Love the game but

*2019-02-26*

The game is fun. But there are a number of times I have had a pair on the bottom and the game ended.  It is frustrating.

**Developer response:** What sometimes happens is that you have a pair at the bottom and two high cards at the top and middle, but the high card at the middle is a higher rank than the one at the top level, and since High card is a valid poker combination, it still results in a loss.  
Unfortunately, it's too easy to miss that while playing and this is probably the thing I dislike the most about the game, so I understand your frustration.

### 5/5 — Newest favorite

*2018-11-12*

This game has it all - highly addictive, clean UI, Good mix of skill/luck, NO ADS, and huge replay value. It’s the kind of game you can play if you need 5 minutes to kill without fail. Looking forward to seeing future updates

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2018-07-04*

Very addictive

### 1/5 — STUPIDITY MANAGEMENT

*2018-05-05*

This would be a 5-star game except for the manner of dealing out losing hands i have nothing to do with. The game starts and i’ve lost because i only have one card left to draw and it doesn’t pair with anything. Which means some programmer played may hand poorly and then handed it over to me. Intolerable, and worse, unplayable. 

I see no good reason for an app to arbitrarily destroy a lot of well thought out play. Ultimately it’s the company’s loss. Delete.

Thank’s for your reply. I have, believe it or not, retracted reviews in the past, so you will understand that I cannot agree with your response, so much so that I have deleted your app. You obviously cannot see the foolishness of playing someone’s entire hand and then handing them a silver-plated loss. The first series I played upon downloading your app gained a score of over 500. Since then I have only cracked 200 a couple of times, and what you refer to as “poor play” is only the most brilliant play as to have survived. Your system needs a serious rethink. Out of all of my losses I have only earned (by my terms) 4 or 5 losses compared to the dozens that are just handed to me. I know what poker is all about. I’ve been at it for a lifetime. Pity you can’t bluff in your app.

**Developer response:** Hi. Thanks for the input. 
Just to clarify things, dealing out cards between rounds is completely random. We don’t control randomness in any way. 
I agree that it could be frustrating to be “handed” loss at the begining of the round, but this situation happens only if player did poorly in the previous round. The whole idea of the game is that you start the next round with cards left from the previous. I personally feel, that situations when we are doing poorly and have to rely on luck to survive are exciting and crucial for the game. Also, there ways to strategically limit impact of luck at this step.
At the same time, I understand your frustration and agree that it has it’s merits. Thanks for playing.

### 5/5 — Топ

*2018-03-29, version 1.3*

Очень крутая игра, необычная задумка, эту игру даже не с чем сравнить. Кроме того нет абсолютно никакой рекламы и она бесплатная. И она неплохо так затягивает😅 помогает набить комбинации, что тоже неплохой плюс
