Poker with Friends Reviews

PokerwithFriends is great when it works. My husband and I both even paid for premium so we could avoid the annoying adds but PokerwithFriends seems to constantly have bugs. Tonight we’re trying to play and every time we get to the end of a hand and one calls the other it never shows the winner and the chips just completely disappear. Super annoying.

It just doesn’t work unfortunately. I wanted it to so bad I even paid the $4 to be able to customize the blinds and everything. I just wanted a spot to be able to play my brothers in poker without all the buying free chips nonsense but it just doesn’t work. I’ve tried 5 different games and every time there is a network issue with someone which renders it useless. It’s not our internet connection, it’s PokerwithFriends .

I paid for the premium version of PokerwithFriends in order to allow for more controls and more than four players. $5.99 I will never see again. Tonight I tried to play a game with four players and we were not once able to play more than two hands of poker without a member of the group showing up as “no network” and locking up all game play. Multiple reboots and reinstalls did not solve the problem. When we actually could get 4 players in a hand, the response times was so slow that it could take more than a minute for a players move to be registered in game. I’m not sure what they are using for game servers, but I expect the design involves a hamster and wheel. I have never seen an app fail so utterly to do exactly what it was designed to do. It was unplayable and it ruined an evenings entertainment.

This game is simple and fun when it is working. However, more often than not there are some major issues, especially with the system not being able to read hands very well.

The biggest example I have is I had a straight at the end of the river, and my opponent had a one pair. Somehow, the game said their one pair beat my straight. It’s problems like these that keep recurring and make me not want to play anymore. Please find a solution to this

It is quite fun, but ever so often an ad will pop up that you can’t skip and sometimes can’t even quit, so you auto-fold.

Also sometimes, if you click your cards multiple times, it will get stuck and you can’t play anything.

Also the sensitivity of the Raise slider is tremendous, hard to choose a more accurate amount.

Regularly have issues with people unable to join a room, with hands inexplicably ending before they are complete, and with players timing out due to “no network” even though they otherwise have a decent internet connection. I downloaded this game so I can get together with some buddies for a weekly virtual poker night. I do like how easy it is to get people playing, and we haven’t found a better alternative that focuses on easy group play with people you know. We typically play for about 90 minutes together with a group between 4-8. We haven’t made it through one evening without several of the glitches mentioned above. We found that ensuring everyone had the most up to date version of PokerwithFriends helps. Hopefully the glitches are being ironed out. Will update my review if that’s the case.

Almost everytime I play there seems to be an issue. Sometimes multiple players will bet and the game will take our chips and go to the next round automatically. Other times someone just gets kicked out. Other than the frequent issues it’s a fun game, just needs work.

This game has so much potential, but it seems like the developers don’t care cause I’ve seen the same complaints from months ago. It’s laggy sometimes it’ll freeze and you won’t be able to connect to play with friends. The devs are leaving so much money on the table by not fixing these issues, I’m not trying to sound ugly or anything but I really enjoy this game when it works 50% of the time.

This is hands down the best poker app available; however, there are issues loading PokerwithFriends . Not just with me, but with the 4 other users I was playing with. Potential to be the most used poker app, but the technical support teams needs to work out the kinks.

PokerwithFriends has become unplayable for both paid and free subscribers. Endless glitches, crashes and ‘freezing up’ during game play. While noticeable “improvements” have been added over the two years I’ve been using it, the game has become a sloggy/jumbly mess as of late.

When achieving certain levels, you obtain prizes like chips or card styles. However, whenever I try to chance my chips, they do not change in the game I play. The check is over the chip style I selected, but as I play, it is the common chip I didn’t select. How can I resolve this?

I’ve played around in PokerwithFriends and I’ve loved it so far. There’s just one problem! I don’t have friends
:(. If PokerwithFriends had random match making it would be great! But for right now the game is just sitting here on my phone. Please add match making!

Used it 3 times for remote games... a few times there was confusion about who had the bet, or what the winning hand was.

Would probably work beautifully for face to face (real) games.

Overall i recommend it

When it works, it’s simple and does the job well. However most of the time we can’t create games. Seems like the servers are down.
Update: problem seems fixed, updating my rating

So we’re productive and make sales and appointments and do great at our jobs but as we’re on the phones we play cards because most the time people do not answer... well someone got mad and told the GM we hadn’t been doing our jobs (which we had) so we can’t play cards with physical cards... BUT YOUR APP HAS MADE WORK ENJOYABLE NONTHELESS LETTSSS GOOOO✊🏻 appreciate you guys ! 🤝

Just wanted to say thanks to the Team that created this Poker App! We have been searching for a way to play Poker with the Fellas since Covid turned everyone’s lives upside down. This has been the best one by far and is so simple to use. Thanks for creating such a great App! 5 Stars aren’t enough! Ryan (USA)

I don’t usually write reviews but I had to for this one. This is a good game to play with friends while you’re hanging out. It’s simple and straight to the point. Great game can’t recommend it enough.

It’s a super fun game, we play it in the office from desk to desk! The only problem is that it is a little buggy with connectivity, other than that it is really fun to play with your buddies

A lot of these other games are so complicated to set up and meant to be played single player. But I just wanted a fun poker game I could play with my friends and this does the trick! No time to setup, no need to do anything fancy, and no ads!

The only recommendation I’d make would be to make be an option to play random people. Adding that would make PokerwithFriends perfect but other than that I love PokerwithFriends!

EasyPoker is a pretty fun and easy and it’s way more simple than any other poker game. The only complaint I have is that the game does not have a mode where you can play with players worldwide. I still think it’s simple and fun and the way to go!
