Very clever solo game
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!

A Brilliant Engaging Game
I have now played innumerable rounds of Selfie Poker and love its structure and the challenges that it presents. It is perfect.
Here’s your review

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.
Response from developer
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.
Love the game but
Response from developer
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.

Awesome game
STUPIDITY MANAGEMENT
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.
Response from developer
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.
