Texas Hold'em for iPad App Reviews

Nice app, easy to play, nice graphics. Wish I could play streaming music in the background but cannot since this app shuts I off when app is opened. Update: still a great app but it does take a minute after start-up to actually open. So if you think the app is stuck, it is not. Just takes time for the app to open.

Had been looking for a simulated Texas Hold Em game for some time. This is the best I have found so far. Would like to see one with actual simulated players with tells/false tells. Enjoying it!

The game while fun makes me wonder if it is in the level. Too many times when it comes down to last two players, my opponent seems to win on the last card. While I realize this does happen, it seems far to frequent in this game. Other than that I like the game.

takes forever to initially load but fast once you get in. Very challenging and nice goals to work towards.

This game is FUN! There is tons of variety so you never get bored with it. I have learned so much about playing with this game. And the turbo feature keeps the pace fast. Play it you will like it!

Very realistic. Good strategic practice.

I love this ap but when my old iPad was broken and I repurchased this ap I had to start with 0 chips and lost my ranking of 247 out of over 6000 players. This is not Fair!

Love game but cant get it to load until I mess with it for 10 or so minutes. If it looks like u play and hit screen it goes dark and every thing u. Try takes u back to black screen. I play 2 hands fold 6 lose all and win one hand out of approx 15. Real poker isnt this bad. People like to play games of all kinds because they like to win. Your game mechanics are great but who likes to lose 10 or 15 hands before they finally win one? If I chose the wrong game by accident u take my winnings. It is impossible to. WinYou evidentlwin

Great game. Works like a charm. Takes a little time to load but then works well. Dont understand rationale for some of the chopped pots. Love the game and play daily

The game itself when it actually turns on and loads. It pretty good. Just takes to long to open and start!!

I play this game a lot, and its often fun. However, the fact that pretend players have an all in option and I dont is finally a deal breaker.

Works well.

New app junk wont work thanks a lot use to enjoy playing just get a black screen

Upon launch, it takes 62 seconds for the game to load. You just get a black screen while you wait.

Every time I got on it crashes in 10 seconds!

I play this game nightly as a way to unwind. It has a minor glitch when loading as it stays on a loading screen for 2-3 minutes which is completely black before the game starts, but getting used to that isnt a big issue. The poker itself is a bit easy, but its the best way to play hold em without playing online against strangers. I recommend this for any poker fanatic.

Dont waste your time. The "game" is rigged. Only the bots win consistently. And dont buy any chips, youll lose instantly.

iPad Air and it wont load,.... Doesnt get much worse!!

Absolutely best "Hold Em" game! You must try if you dont have it. Built mine too $700,000 plus without costs. Beach Bum

I have been playing this app for 4 years. I got the original version for my iPad. It is not available for d/l anymore. The older app has a cowboy hat as its icon. The new app has a shield with a poker club colored red on it. I played the older version (it was free) until I saw the new version. It was not free. I still have both, but I play the new version. When you open the app the screen may go black. If it does, just leave it alone. It will eventually open the app and you can play. Dont freak out and think something is wrong. I believe it is updating. Sometimes it will play its music. It reset your preferences if you had the music turned off. Getting to the play of the game. I know a lot of people complain about how slow it is. You just have to accept the way of it. I dont think the programmers or developers are going to fix it. It is what it is. The more you play the more you learn about the app. As a teacher of holdem it is not. You can learn the game, but it wont teach you how to win. My biggest complaint is it is not realistic. You can say that anything is possible in holdem, but having made a large enough bet with pocket aces to put another player all-in before the flop; and have them call with a 4-9 off-suit and win because a pair of 4s made the flop.....well, I think you know. No human player is going to make that call. I could understand if the other player had only a few big blinds, maybe. Not when they had 20. Anyway, I play it because its a good time-waster. I dont care about the achievements. My goal in every game is to come in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. I only play Silver Cat because that is where you win the most money. Some of the casinos dont let you get your entry fee back even if you come in 3rd. Since I got the new app I have played 207 games. I have over $330,000. I have come in 1st 65 times, 2nd 31 times and 3rd 19 times. I have more than 50% success in making money or breaking even. That is my goal. I agree about the bad beats too. Ive seen it too many times. See the description above. The glitch that allows another player to win money on the last hand, when they clearly lost, also exists. I have come in 2nd because of that. A chip and a chair. I will continue to play it. One more thing, it is an off-line game.
