PokerUp: Social Poker

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!

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.

I’ve been playing since December 2019 and there are a lot of good features in the app. It is generally smooth running and I have had limited issues. The new update brings more of a focus on “live” video and audio. It basically turns on your camera and mic during the game. For me and my friends this is not a desirable feature. You can turn it off, but the layout is more focused on the profile picture and less on the cards which is not ideal. Also, I generally play private games with friends. Until this new update, you could play for a minimum fee (50 coins) which was negligible and preferred. Now the minimums are much higher (4400 coins for us) which will require some of my friends to play through more of the regular matches which they don’t want to do.

As the title says, this is an excellent poker app. Really, there’s nothing else that even comes close to this in terms of quality and user experience. I love that there are no advertisements and the user interface is incredibly slick. As a software engineer, you can really tell that a lot of time and effort was put into making this the best software possible. That being said, the networking can be a little spotty, especially on ranked. I would also love to see this expanded from just heads up to full table so that I can have one poker app when multiple of my friends want to play online (there is no app of this quality on PC). Overall, wonderful app. Glad that this exists.

So many losses on weak hands. I have same pair and high card, opponent always seems to have 1 card higher. I go all in with Aces on the deal, lose to 2 pair, 4s and 9s, who goes all in with 4/9 thinking they have a chance. They should also limit who can play in what room, losing all of my money so i have to play the lower rooms, i have 17k playing in the 4,000 room to a guy with 35mil, do you think they care if they lose, just bully me around with high bets that i can’t afford to lose. I’m so convinced it’s a rigged game. Update 2 So so so so many bail outs on the river card. Such a terrible game. Try to play aggressive, lose to a pair of 4s, try to play conservative, get bullied around. So many straights, flushes, opponent always having 1 card higher than you in the deciding card. Pair of 9s on the board, no one raises, i have a king, raise, they have an ace, i called it be fire it happened. Always seem to be 1 card higher. Update 3 Done with this cheating game. Aces on the deal, go all in with my last $720, have 132k in the bank, playing in the 110k city Get my 3rd Ace, lose your a heart flush, guy had a 7 spade and 5 heart and had 33 million in the bank Stuff like that happens too much to be a coincidence Fun concept, too frustrating to keep playing, tired of losing to bullsh*t hands
