Offsuit: Texas Holdem Poker 17+

Great game, a couple quirks

Overall this is an excellent offline hold ‘em game. The only things I really don’t like are 1) the game isn’t super clear on who won the pot and how much they made. You really have to pay attention. 2) it’s extremely annoying that betting in this game works differently than actual poker. If the computer bets first and I call, that same character has another opportunity to further raise. This sometimes leads to unreasonably high bets before the flop.

Perfect.

When you look up poker on the AppStore, most of the apps you get are bloated, flashy online games that take up valuable storage, and push ads and microtransactions down your throat, never failing to mention their exclusive bundles and offers every time you open the app. Yeah, there’s 2 or 3 offline poker apps,but it’s practically niche,and what’s on offer still takes up SO much space!
Offsuit is much different. Besides it’s minimal design that makes it fit in with more tech-oriented apps, it only takes up 50mb, has optional microtransactions and ads! And it’s completely offline to boot, with no registration nessecary! The only downside is that there ARE no accounts as of writing, but the app mentions that the developers are working on adding that in. If you wanna get better at poker, or just want to have fun with it without risking actual money, I’d say to download this one. It’s free, after all!

Thanks so much for your support! We created Offsuit for the exact reasons you mentioned, so we’re glad to hear that you enjoy it :)

We’ve recently added optional user accounts and we’re currently working on an optional league that ranks users based on weekly performance!

New update

I instantly fell in love with this game the moment I opened it. I played it for two weeks and then a new update happened that introduced skipping hands and suddenly the algo for hands and the overall play factor has appeared to take a nose dive. I don’t think its a coincidence at all that I’ll watch two ads to get 50 skips and within 60 mins of playing I’ve blazed through those 50 skips.

I don’t think I’ve ever written a review in the Apple App Store in the 15 years that I’ve been an iPhone user, but for sure I haven’t for a game. And I’m writing this one out of pure disappointment.
