The game functions, so I'll give it 3 stars.I felt liked was dumped in with no instructions. The help and support links were like 3-question FAQs.When I was down from my original buy-in, in a room, I had no idea if I could click something to get back up to my original buy-in. I clicked to chat "using keyboard," and no keyboard appeared. (I'm on an iPad 1.)I could probably deal with the lack of help, if I could at least ask other players at a table how to do something, but no dice there.The actual game, and the betting, etc., all seemed to work smoothly.

I've used this app a long time and like it. After upgrading to the "HD" version I guess I was expecting something ... in HD. It looks to me that this is the same app with "HD" affixed. Hey, if that's what the market requires these days, all the power to ya. For anyone who doesn't have a poker app, this one is the way to go. It isn't in HD, though, then or now, unless you want to make a technical argument.

Really enjoyable play. Wide range of opponent skill levels, and you can more or less pick your level of play. Free chips make stupid moves a little less painful. Makes me want to learn to be a better player. I actually picked up a book --- and am reading it!! Once in a while there are little glitches, but it appears to affect everyone equally.

Unfortunately, I spent real money on this game before playing much. It loses connection every 2 minutes or so. It's 100% NOT my connection, as I play all sorts of other games and such with zero issues. It's either their app or their servers. The disconnects cause you to automatically fold. It's so bad, I may just leave my game cash unused and move on to something enjoyable that doesn't make me want to strangle the app programmers. THIS APP IS CRIMINALLY HORRIBLE AND ONLY A FOOL WOULD SPEND ONE CENT ON IT
