PokerStars Mobile App - iOS and Android Review

PokerStars has been in business for more than two decades, and is now widely regarded as the world's best online poker site. Like all top-tier online poker sites, PokerStars has a PokerStars Android app and PokerStars iOS app that you can download to your favorite mobile device and take poker with you wherever you go, while taking advantage of the best PokerStars bonuses. Here is how to do so.

How to Download the PokerStars Mobile App

It is super simple to download the PokerStars Mobile App, so easy that you will be playing on the PokerStars Android App of the iOS edition within a couple of minutes of clicking the download button.

Both the PokerStars iOS App and the PokerStars Android App are available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, respectively. Alternatively, you can download the app by visiting PokerStars via your mobile phone or tablet, and pressing the download button.

The mobile app should automatically download and install to your device. If not, follow the on-screen prompts to complete the process.

Download the PokerStars iOS Mobile App

Downloading the PokerStars iOS app is quick and easy, so much so that you will have it installed on your Apple device in only a couple of minutes. Start by visiting the Apple App Store via your iOS-powered device and searching for "PokerStars Texas Holdem Poker." Although it says Texas Hold'em in the title, the app contains all the other poker variants and formats PokerStars offers.

Press the relevant download button, and follow any on-screen prompts that may pop up. The app should download onto your device in only a few moments, depending on the speed of your internet connection. And there you have it, the PokerStars iOS mobile app is now on your phone or tablet!

Alternatively, you can visit the PokerStars website via your mobile device and press the download button, which will redirect you to where you can download the latest version of the PokerStars iOS app.

Download the PokerStars Android Mobile App

The steps for downloading the PokerStars Android Mobile app are almost the same as the iOS download mentioned in the section above. You need to head to the Google Play Store via the device you want to install the app, and search for "PokerStars: Online Poker Games. Make sure the app is made by Stars Mobile Limited so you know you are downloading the correct app.

Press download, follow any on-screen prompts, and the PokerStars Android App will be on your device almost immediately.

As with the iOS app, you can head to the PokerStars website via your mobile phone or tablet and download the PokerStars Android app from there.

PokerStars Mobile App – iOS versus Android

There is little to separate the PokerStars Mobile App regarding playing from an iOS or Android device. Both apps have been downloaded more than one million times, proving how popular they are with online poker players.

Every game that you can play on the PokerStars desktop client is available on the PokerStars mobile app. This means you can play Texas Hold'em, Omaha poker, Seven Card Stud, mixed games, and draw games. Those variants are available in cash games, sit & go, and multi-table tournament formats, meaning you need never miss a hand of poker ever again.

It is even possible to play Spin & Go tournaments on the PokerStars iOS and Android app. Sin & Go games are also called jackpot sit & go tournaments, and they make it possible to win up to $1 million in a matter of minutes.

The main, and perhaps only difference between PokerStars' Android app and the iOS PokerStars App is you are limited to playing four tables at once on Android devices, but you can play up to five if you are playing PokerStars from an iOS-powered iPad.
