River is Texas Hold'em with an original design, built natively for iPhone and iPad. A true-black table, big cards and big numbers, a single lime accent and Liquid Glass controls that answer the instant you touch them. No felt, no clutter: just the hand in front of you. MADE TO FEEL RIGHT • Spring animation throughout. Cards deal from the dealer and flip in 3D, chips slide into the pot and fly to the winner, and stacks roll to their new totals. Animations yield to your next action. • Delicate Core Haptics, tuned for each moment: a light tick as your cards land, a soft double tap when it's your turn, a fuller swell saved for an all-in or a big win. • A few warm, quiet sounds synthesized for River. They respect the silent switch, and haptics and sound can each be turned off. • VoiceOver reads every card; Reduce Motion is respected. PLAY SOLO, EVEN OFFLINE • Two to nine seats against AI opponents who think at a human pace. Casual plays loose and passive. Regular folds junk and punishes limps. Shark plays balanced ranges, bluffs for real and knows its position. • Optional hand-strength hints with outs and odds. Turbo blinds for short sessions. PRIVATE ROOMS WITH FRIENDS • Open a room and share its six-character code. • The server deals, runs the clock and settles every pot, side pots included. Reconnect and you're back in your seat. • Friends with online status, room invites and an in-app inbox. KNOW YOUR GAME • Every hand saved and replayable street by street. • Results by position, a starting-hand grid, BB/100 and net chips over time. • Friends and global leaderboards count multiplayer rooms only. English and Simplified Chinese. Free, with no ads, no tracking and no purchases. Delete your account in the app at any time. Play-money chips only: they can't be bought, cashed out or won as prizes, and River is not gambling. 18+.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: River at none against Wool Sort 3D's 10. River also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). Wool Sort 3D's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
