Few minor niggles Fantastic if you’re using a screen reader. ### 3/5 — Obnoxious players *2026-07-31, version 2.1* I get along with most of the players, but Holly and Bubba. The developer that dreamt those two up is demented. ### 2/5 — Same old game *2026-07-15, version 2.1* I’ve been playing your app for awhile now and have noticed that when I win a BIG pot the next few games I play have been predictably making me lose. I would have a solid QQ hand and the flop would give me another Q. Turn card would be a 10. Thinking I have it won the River comes out a J only to have me lose to a straight. There is some fancy game rigging going one here. ### 2/5 — Not great *2026-07-10, version 2.1* Bad for beginners and is impossible to bluff definitely better apps ### 2/5 — Could be great *2026-07-09, version 2.1* This could be a great poker game but the AI logic is awful. They will play awful hands yet somehow win on the river every time. It makes it feel predetermined. The AI also is very all or nothing. They’re either betting an absorbent amount of money or folding. ### 2/5 — Deal Algorithm *2026-07-07, version 2.1* I get so many repeated hands (different suits), but a lot of repeated hands that I almost question the randomness of the algorithm. Legit get “6-7” more often than I should. ### 3/5 — Slightly unrealistic *2026-07-02, version 2.1* The game is pretty accurate and fun, however it is heavily rigged against you. There’s no real life poker game where people consistently have the hands that they do, unless they’re cheating. 90% single time you’re forced to go all in, even if you have a decent hand, you’re going to lose to someone who has an impossibly higher hand than you. Every. Single. Time. ### 3/5 — Had to delete *2026-05-17, version 2.1* I couldn’t do it anymore. I was excited to see the game back, but quickly remembered why I had to delete it last time. One of the best games for gameplay, but the computer intelligence is just brutal. It’s statistically impossible to get riveted that many times. It gets to the point where you can actually anticipate what the next card will be. No matter how strong your hand is, you will lose, guaranteed! ### 3/5 — Texas hold em *2026-05-16, version 2.1* Good Fun with no in app purchases ### 2/5 — Pot sharing? *2026-05-12, version 2.1* I’ve played hundreds of games with this app and haven’t had the algorithm problems that many people have mentioned. BUT unfair pot sharing is quite prevalent. For example, I just won with a 4 of a kind and had to share the pot with a bot that had a full house AND a bot that had trips. WTH?! Update: I wrote that about 3 days ago. I think my phone heard the word “algorithm,” because I definitely notice it now. I started out playing mostly face cards, which worked, until they almost completely disappeared. I changed it up by playing mostly face card/low card. I tried to avoid K’s (bc they’re not on the board often) and J’s (bc the bots usually have A’s). Now I’m being dealt LOTS of K’s and J’s, and on the rare occasion I get 2 face cards, it’s usually a KJ. When I happen to get a AK or AQ, I usually lose anyway. It’s pretty frustrating. ### 4/5 — I like but they cheated me… *2026-05-01, version 2.1* I really like this version of the game. No pressure but i feel cheated because they gave away $4000 to the computer opponent with a pair when I had a straight. Thank God it’s fake money, but still ought to be fair play. Update… I continue to get cheated in this game. It’s not a big deal but it’s frustrating ### 5/5 — Super *2026-04-11* Prima umgesetzt, gute Graphik, man kann sogar hin und wieder gewinnen ### 2/5 — Fix the AI *2026-04-09, version 2.1* This is such an aggressive style of play and it’s nearly impossible to skillfully maneuver. ### 5/5 — A perfect game *2026-04-09, version 2.1* Best poker game of all time, simple and elegant. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Leave me alone *2026-08-17, version 2.1* This game is a heaping pile of cow manure ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-06-09, version 2.1* I'm not sure what they did but the hands you're dealt in this version are absolutely garbage. I played hundreds of hands and basically never got pocket pairs. Usually low cards off suit and maaaybe if you get a face card it'll be with a 3 or 4. The AI knows your hand and will fold the second you flop something decent (which will basically never happen). It's pretty weird. Or they will also have the same good hand... but with an Ace kicker. ALWAYS an Ace kicker. ### 1/5 — Very bad algorithm *2026-06-02, version 2.1* You will consistently lose to hands that have a 5% chance to beat you on higher levels. ### 1/5 — ゴミ *2026-05-22* 遠隔しかできないクソゲー はよサ終しろ！ CPU勝たせたいだけのゴミゲー🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 ### 1/5 — Earnings error. *2026-05-21, version 2.1* Send winnings to another player, second time in two days. Be careful. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-05-21, version 2.1* This game is garbage. Don’t waste your time. The AI knows what your dealt and it will very often go out of its way to see that you lose. When you get riveted 10 hands in a row by the AI than you know something is wrong. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2026-04-03, version 2.1* The game just picks up on your moves and the computer always wins after a while. They always get the cards they needed while you get a high low split every time. If you do get the occasional flush the computer folds instantly ### 1/5 — AI has ruined the game *2026-03-21, version 2.1* I enjoyed playing the game when I first downloaded it. Once the AI learns your moves and how you bet, it’s no longer enjoyable. It becomes predictable when I lose; even with a good hand. Also, I was not able to play the multiplayer feature. Just sat around waiting for someone to join and no one ever did. The game is a dud after a few months of playing. ### 1/5 — Худший покер *2026-03-17* Так тупо обманывать, я хуже не видел. ### 1/5 — Bad cards *2026-03-16, version 2.1* When I play the AI, why do I get horrible cards relative to my competitors…like all the time. I may last a long time, but my stash just dwindles to nothing because I get no card. Boring! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just like the original iPod version *2026-08-25, version 2.1* If you were a fan of the original you’ll love this too and no ads ❤️ ### 5/5 — GAMBLING *2026-08-16, version 2.1* I love this game because it helps me quit gambling ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-02, version 2.1* By far the best poker game out there. Just got the game 24 hours ago and have yet been able to play online multiplayer because there is no one popping up to play with. ### 5/5 — Wihtieny *2026-07-25, version 2.1* She’s a woser ### 5/5 — One billion *2026-07-19, version 2.1* Years ago I set my goal to reach one billion in winnings! This week I reached that goal and discovered the game only goes to $ 999,999,999.99 I have enjoyed the ride and would like to hear from other Billion dollar winners 🙂 ### 5/5 — 2026年にスタート、楽しい *2026-05-27* 普通のポーカーゲームと違うところは、相手の映像がリアルなところ。立体映像なのにヌメヌメ動く。 操作もしやすい。 横画面にしたら全員の持ち金が見れるから便利。 ### 5/5 — À quand pour une mise à jour? *2026-05-26* Peut-être pour 2027 pour les 20 ans ? Allez, je suis une personne non-voyante utilisateur de ce jeu fantastique ! Je tiens à vous remercier pour la qualité du jeu, il est énorme avec VoiceOver, vous l’avez nettement amélioré depuis cette toute première sortie et je vous en remercie ! Je recense quelques bugs là depuis la mise à jour vers iOS 26. Cinq. Le jeu frise est bloque. Pourriez-vous corriger s’il vous plaît ? Sur iPhone 16. Également, pourrions-nous avoir un jour, un réel jeu en ligne pour jouer avec les amis, gratuitement, via gameCenter ou s’envoyer des invitations pour créer des tables. Le soir, je vous garantis y a un truc à faire et ne pas oublier que c’est la meilleure appli sur Apple à ne jamais laisser tomber, mais à améliorer. Écoutez-moi bien ! Bien sincèrement un grand fan d’Apple Mathieu, Zouzouverts, ça serait le Must du top du top. ### 5/5 — The best (No-money) poker game *2026-05-16, version 2.1* This is the perfect practicing poker game. No real money betting. Progress through your winnings to higher buy in/higher stake games with different opponent behaviour depending of difficulty. Fun to play and great way of learning. I often play this when im killing time and you can save game midway ### 5/5 — i love gambling *2026-04-28, version 2.1* its fun ### 5/5 — 2 *2026-04-12, version 2.1* Was a little short --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
