PokerUp: Social Poker 17+

One of the best mobile Poker apps I’ve ever indulged in.

This is my first and probably only review on the App Store since I do not spend much time committed to games anyway. But PokerUp really grabbed my attention. I was looking for a good poker game for mobile and after scrolling through countless Poker Apps that according to players influence the rng factor and other aspects of the game I’ve found PokerUp! To keep it short: amazing and intuitive UI, one of the best. Fun games even though they’re heads up only at the moment (I’m eagerly waiting for the Lounge 4 player mode Devs, love the stuff you got going for us! :D) I’ve actually managed to make a few local friends in my city by chatting during games. Charts are fun too, competing with others. All in all, get this game if you like Poker. Period. Love you devs for making such a wonderfull app!

Developer Response ,

Oh well, we are so blushed now 😊😊😊. Thank you so much for such a review and your sweet words. This is the best appreciation for our work. Countless poker apps and you've decided you install ours - PRICELESS! Lounges are coming very very soon. Be careful not to spend all day there😎. Wait, actually you're very welcome to enjoy this zone 24/7. By the way, did you try to play with 3 friends of yours? It's even better as you're the one who determines buy-in and invites the participants at the table. Show them who is the owner of the table💪! Stay tuned, the best is yet to come. Always Yours, PokerUp

More tables/game modes

The app is great, easy to use, smooth interface. Not clunky at all. Only thing I don’t understand is why you can only play against one player in a heads up challenge. Is there any other modes? I have looked and can’t find any. The only thing I have found is if I invite friends I can play with 2 others at once? Is that it? I don’t like syncing my contact list on these apps so it really does me no good anyway. Hopefully they add some more game modes with more players at tables, I can only do so many heads up challenge games with some of em going 20-25 minutes with the blinds maxed and I’m just going back and forth with the other guy going all in lol. Still though great game, does everything it advertises to do and works well.

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for such a lovely review! You made our developers blushed😊. Alright, let us clarify everything step by step for you.

1. You're right! As of now, we have a game for 2 players and you can invite up to 3 friends to make it 4 at one table. We are working on new mode, so you will be able to play with up to 3 random players. Our team is still polishing this feature but you will be amazed! That's something you've never seen before.
2. We have a new great feature "Global search". Here you can find your friends by their nicknames or opponents you've played with. It's a great opportunity to either ask for a revenge or to add this person to your friends list.
3. We're going to provide you with more items in store, new features and exciting events.

Stay tuned, the best is yet to come! Always Yours, PokerUp

Bots playing on 1 on 1 games

I was a big fan of this game all year until recently when it seems like the game has been really buggy.

But today was THE WORST behavior I have ever seen. I played two games in a row that were bots. Yes, BOTS. The bot player literally folded on EVERY small blind. When they got down to chip amount that was below the small blind, then they would win every time! The game went on for a long time (like 15+ min) and it was basically playing itself — folding on small blinds until their total cash was below the blind and then they’d win, repeatedly. I counting (yes, I started keeping track) — 36 wins in a row when they were below the small blind (and when it wouldn’t cause me to to completely lose). When I was at zero, then I would win. In total it won 51 hands — or 100% of the hands that wouldn’t cause me to lose. Both times, I won but again it was essentially playing itself.

Super disappointed knowing that these are sometimes bots and not live. Misleading!
