PokerUp: Social Poker

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.

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.
