PokerStars Mobile Software Review
After you have created an account and installed the app on your portable device, simply click the app, log in using your user name and password, and then you can start playing instantly. A wide variety of stakes are available in the lobby, ranging from low ($2 NL) to high ($5k HU SnG’s). Games varieties include Hold’em (No Limit, Limit, or Pot Limit), and Omaha (Limit, Pot Limit, Eight or Better). If you can’t be bothered going through all the different games, the ‘Play Now’ button will have you in the action right away.
The interface itself is clean, welcoming, and easy to use, even for first-time players. Relative to the screen size, the buttons are big, responsive, and colorful, and the information, such as chip counts, and cards, are easy to see. On the iPad, the action is quick, the buttons are large, and it is very easy to switch between tables. On the other hand, play on an iPhone can be uncomfortable at times due to the small screen size. The possibility of a miss-click is always there, and this could potentially be a huge problem during play. That being said, the action remains fluid and lag-free on either device.
The app restricts multi-table play up to four tables on a phone, and five tables on the iPad. For a player focusing on one table or a few tables this is not a problem, however players used to heavy multi-tabling are better suited playing on home computers.
One thing to consider while playing is the strength of your Internet connection. If a player disconnects in the middle of the hand they are given 90 seconds to connect before their hand is folded. It is strongly suggested to use a WiFi connection over your 3G-phone network.
Taking everything under consideration, the PokerStars Mobile App is a fun and exciting way to play poker in the palm of your hand. It should not be your primary way to access your PokerStars account, but if you are looking to play poker on the go or on a handheld device, the PokerStars Mobile App is absolute aces.
The PokerStars mobile app is available in the following languages: English, Dutch, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Russian, Romanian, Slovenian, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Estonian, Portuguese.
PokerStars Zoom Mobile
PokerStars Zoom Mobile is undoubtedly the best fast–fold poker app on the market. Once you try it out and compare it to the PC/MAC software, you will quickly notice that it has virtually the same level of comfort on a smartphone or tablet.
Zoom poker has a separate lobby where you can use filters to choose your favorite game.
Once you decide to join a game, all you have to do is bring some money to the tables and you are ready to go!
The fast fold button is big and clearly visible and the tables rarely experience any lag, except for when the issue is your internet connection, so be sure to check you connection before you zoom off to those huge pots!
