Ultimate? Not really. Just HoldEm.

Have tried 3-4 other HoldEm games ranging in price from free to $2. This game is one of the better interfaces due to the simplicity of the interface. Only reason I tried the game is because I got a rebate for the $0.99 cost.

This company makes Ultimate Poker and Ultimate Holdem. Both are the exact same versions with slightly different backgrounds. BUT, both are HoldEm poker. So, I do not know why the company has multiple versions of the same game with different price points. And now, Ultimate HoldEm no longer appears in the app store.

Buy the Ultimate HoldEm Poker (Bull icon) if you can find it cause that version is easier on the eyes with the table top.

Pros
Simple interface. Achievements. Names of hands and odds provided in real time to help you easily learn. Good tutorial to introduce you to playing a hand. Quick and easy to play a few hands in the go. Not fancy but perfect for on the go play.

Cons
Red letter and number interface hard to read. Annoying dealer voice that thankfully can be muted. Annoying casino noise that thankfully can be muted. Deceiving to call the game Poker when it is version specific to HoldEm Poker. There is no 21 or any other version within the game only HoldEm. Odd to sell the same game with different names and only minor tweaks to graphics.

Feature Requests
Change the color scheme to ease reading of cards. Different voices for dealer (real voices). Different "casino" cards representing different locations. Make only one version and be clear what product you are selling (HoldEm).

Buyer Be Aware
This company tends to release the same game under multiple titles and prices. For example, Ultimate Poker and Ultimate HoldEm (no longer in app store). Or Poker Free and Imagine Poker 2 ($2.99) which have same description but different prices (hmmm.. I will take the free one then). Or look at 21 Free and Blackjack World Pro which have the same descriptions but appears you can in app upgrade 21 Free to Blackjack World Pro (description even states Blackjack World Pro). So why different names and tactics to sell what are actually good products? Why confuse your buyers?

Either the company does not know how to describe their products accurately or are just trying to get you to buy the same game under a different name. Both are poor business practices. I am planning to stay away from their products now that I know their true game (pun intended). Buyer be aware if the product you are getting. And if the description does not support the product completely, please leave company feedback.
