5 Best Poker Apps in the Apple Store

Long gone are the times when you needed actual cards to play poker. Not that there is anything wrong with playing poker "the old fashioned way" but it is a little difficult to whip out your deck on your desk at work, or on a train, or anywhere on the move. That is why poker apps have become the place to have your recreational card experience and they are even more accessible now with so many development studios coming out with their own apps.

Apple's App Store [3] has a ton of great poker apps which you can play on your iPhone or IPad. The graphics are excellent and most of them offer multiplayer support so you can play with your friends as well as against the computer opponent. Sifting through all of the app offer can take quite a while so we have selected the 5 best poker apps you can download from the App Store. These games are very popular [4] with fans of NetEnt casinos, as well as mobile online casinos which you can play on. Now then, let's check out picks and explain why you should definitely try them out:

Zynga Poker

Zynga Games may be facing some financial troubles at the moment but doesn't mean their Zynga Poker app has any flaws. This is one of the most played Poker app on the App Store and with good reason - the company has managed to create one of the most accessible, simple to use and hard to master poker experiences on the market. Not only will you be able to just pick it up and play but you can also get deep into the online competitive scene with thousands of players going at it for the monthly prizes.

Fresh Deck Poker

Another great quality app that lets you play several different variations of poker. While Zynga Poker strives to deliver the most generally accepted poker experience, Fresh Deck Poker aims to get you involved with a selection of unique avatars that will represent you in the online community. A great option which is also available is being able to continue playing your session on your other devices where you have the game installed (iPad, iPhone, Facebook on Mac, etc). The game also has a RNG system which is excellent if you are ever questioning the winners.

Jawfish Poker

This app was designed by one of the industry greats - the WPT Champion Phil Gordon, also known as the author of "Little Green Book". The app is aimed at beginners as well as pros with game play attuned to the "rapid-fire" style, i.e. playing fast hands instead of taking your time and thinking about it. It is expertly designed with many helpful hints to help you on your way of mastering the game.

Texas Hold'em Poker Free

As one of the leading apps, Texas Hold'em Poker Free is an app that thrives on competition. The app has several dozen multi-table tournaments organized daily. With emphasis on player vs. player and a great social hub feature where you can interact with other players and join quick matches it is an excellent app who is sure to entertain you for quite a while.

All-in Poker

An app that consists some of the best poker variants out there like Fixed Limit Hold'em, Razz and Badugi, All-in Poker has a clean look and polished features, without too much stuff that will get in the way of fun. With that being said, it is focusing more on the aggressive style of play, forgetting the fine elements of different tactics for more "all in approach" (as the name suggests). Quite fun and exhilarating, and very different from your "regular" poker experience.
