It's a lot of fun and impressive to all play together with their own device. Can't believe it's free. ### 5/5 — This is nice *2012-12-10* I just played this game with two of my friends. I connected the iPad to my Apple TV. Cards on your iPhone and Poker table on the big screen… Sweet!! Best of all. I won ;-) ### 5/5 — Great game *2012-12-10, version 1.0* This is neat. You need to get enough people around to play, but as soon as you have, this is a great way to play poker with friends. Not needing any internet is great, but of course you do need internet to download the app in the first place.. Still, playing in any location in the world is amazing. ### 5/5 — Great poker game for the family *2012-12-10* This works really well! You hardly need to know poker to be able to play with this, and sitting together with your friends all playing together is simply cool. ### 5/5 — Free until... *2012-12-08* Someone runs out of money. IAP is required to "re-buy" into a game/table, otherwise you are done playing. Not sure if it locks you out if the device you are using as a table (the iPad) or if it keeps track of your chips on your own device (iPhone/iPod), making any table unplayable unless you IAP. High hopes for this with family and friends, and I understand needing to generate revenue for developers, but I can't ask people I play with to spend real money just to keep playing. May as well pull out the real cards and chips if you just play for fun. I'd rather pay once for this type of digital poker system (say $10) on the iPad that holds all the chips, and then everyone connecting with their phones or iPods are given said chips from the table. Then they can be reused to play as much as you want. Again, I'll never get family or friends to spend even the $.99 for the starter pack chip set if it isn't reusable, thus making it a giant money sink simply to play using iOS devices. Edit: I was mistakenly using the "cash game". There is the tournament option that essentially makes it free to keep playing, and you can handle the money locally if you wanted. Great game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Devices wouldn't connect *2017-03-18* Downloaded this app on an iPad and two iPhones. Followed the instructions but the devices wouldn't connect no matter how long or how many times I tried. Idea is great, but without functionality, it's a waste of time and space. ### 1/5 — absolutely horrific *2016-06-10* entirely unplayable. I don't even think I understand the intention of the developers. you need 3 devices to get two people playing? also a visual eyesore. don't even waste your time downloading this. ### 1/5 — Doesn't make sense *2015-06-10* Why do you have to use a device as a table? Why can't two people just play? ### 1/5 — Rubbish, don't bother *2013-09-29* There is no support. App doesn't work, do not bother One star is too many. ### 1/5 — Just doesn't work *2013-07-10* No matter what I do I can't get cards dealt. The table goes around and around and that's all! ### 1/5 — Constantly Crashes! *2013-02-08* This app has the right idea but doesn't work at all. I would not recommend it to anyone. Waste of time! ### 2/5 — Pay to play boo-hiss *2015-05-02* Would have been nice to know you have to buy chips Teaser $500.00 gone. Now I have a useless app ### 3/5 — the poker table is broken!!!! *2014-05-26* fix bugs guys!! i need to play poker!!! the iphone app works but the ipad app crashs!!! fix bugs fixbugs fix bugs!!!! ### 5/5 — Nice! *2014-01-05* Very good! ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2013-03-17* This is one of the better poker games that can be played via LAN, it's runs perfect and is visually appealing, has notifications of hand status. The table cards could be larger, but this app is a true keeper. No ads either! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lots of fun to play with friends like this *2012-12-22* Sitting around and playing together works fantastic, as soon as everyone has the app downloaded.
