Works well on Android. Gimmicky, but I love it.

Got it but haven"t had a real chance to try it out yet.

Frankly, it"s unlikely it will stay on my phone very long as I suspect its better aimed at the tablet market and anyway, I have Stars on my netbook which is always with me anyway.

Played a sng on the i pad, it works very well, need to be a bit careful with the slider, although the option is there to type bet in.

Will have its uses ie if in a tournament and need to make dinner/tea can take i pad to kitchen,  i use a desktop pc so wasnt practical lumbering that from room to room.

Still doesnt help when you push with AQ and big blind has AK, but thats a different story.

I dont think it will play to well on the phone, bit too small, but on the i pad well impressed.

Late regged for the $5 Bigger this afternoon, just to quickly see what the app was like.  Went from 3k to 15k in about 5 hands.  Made a few phonecalls, went to another clients, eventually made a min cash having only played about a dozen hands.

Amazing the amount of functionality that they have managed to fit into this.  Covers most cash, STT and MTT games.  Really simple to use, and I would imagine on an iPad or Android tablet, it will look incredible.

gg the rest of the industry, that is how to do a poker app.   ;D

Got it loaded up on to the iPad this evening, and played a SNG. Much better than Bwin (the only way to play on the iPad until now). As far as I can tell, you can play any type of poker and the look is as good as on a PC.

When I got my iPad a month ago I was amazed that it was so difficult to play real money poker on it. That didn"t last long!

  There is gonna be a massive increase of people playing live tournys, and grinding on stars at same time now. Not a bad thing really, but some people get annoyed when someone listens to ipod. Can you imagine playing vs people locked to there ipads now.

Depends on the buyin for the live events i guess. Ipads are pretty expensive so not everyone has one. But in the festival events around £500/£1k i would imagine there will be a big increase.

lol of course there"s going to be a massive increase compared to the amount that do it now.

But more people have 3d tv"s than iPads (and not many people have 3d telly) - so I can"t imagine it"s ever going to become a huge problem

Has anybody downloaded it onto a Blackberry 9800 yet?

I"m not sure if I"ve spent nearly 2 days trying something thats not possible, or spent nearly 2 days being a muppet?

Come to think of it.... either way I"m quite obviously a MUPPET!!!!

Would make an interesting court case given that Jimmy Carr got off by claiming he was dictating jokes by using his phone as a recording device and not a communication device. The law may have been updated since then though.

Given the concentration levels needed to play a game of poker I would guess they would go for "driving without due care and attention".
