Party Poker released an android poker app before Christmas that looks pretty sweet. Does anyone know when they'll be releasing an iOS poker app for the iPhone and iPad?
Hey Pesky, unfortunatley we still haven't heard anything about a PartyPoker app for iOS. It's definitley in the pipeline but getting real-money gambling apps approved by Apple can be a tricky and time consuming process. When it is released, it will probably only be available in the United Kingdom (and maybe Austria) initially, with a staggered release in other countries over the following months. UPDATE: PARTYPOKER iPHONE APP NOW AVAILABLE The good news is PartyPoker have finally released an iOS version of their poker client for iPhone and iPad. The bad news is it is only available in the following countries at present. Austria, Azerbaijan, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden and the United Kingdom. If you live in any of these countries and you want to install the PartyPoker app then just follow these instructions. PARTYPOKER APP - INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS Create a new player account at www.partypoker.com If you use an iPhone or iPad you should now download the app from the iTunes App Store. If you own an Android phone or tablet just browser to PartyPoker.com and you will be prompted to download the apk install file. Once the app has been installed just login using the account details you created in step 1.
Excellent. I read that the PartyPoker app is now available in New Jersey which is great news but is there any way to play it (for real-money) in other parts of the United States like New York?
No, PartyPoker is only legally available in NJ for now so if you live in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago or any other U.S. city you are out of luck. The good news is there are some real-money US poker sites with iOS/Android apps listed here in our poker section http://www.iphonebettingapps.com/poker.html The PartyPoker iOS hasn't been made available in any more countries since it was launched over a year ago, which is a bit disappointing. The PartyPoker Android app is available everywhere of course (except the United States).
We've now written an in-depth review of the the latest PartyPoker iPhone app here http://www.iphonebettingapps.com/partypoker-for-ios-and-android.html
When new features are being rolled out they tend to appear first on the PartyPoker iPhone and Android apps. About one to two months later the same upgrade will be available for the Bwin poker app. For example, PartyPoker recently added Sit & Go tournaments to their iOS/Android apps, however, tournaments weren't available on the Bwin app until 6 weeks later.
PartyPoker have been busy developing a brand new poker app that focuses solely on fast fold poker games. The new PartyPoker FastForward Special Edition app is unique in that it allows you to play high-speed poker games with just one hand. Instead of using the conventional control buttons, you can now use tap and swipe gestures to greatly increase the speed of the game. For example, to fold all you need to do is swipe your cards with your fingers or to fold you just need to tap the table twice. The PartyPoker FastForward Special Edition app is available to download from the iTunes App Store in a limited number of countries.
The PartyPoker app continues to improve with each subsequent update. In addition to fast fold and regular Texas Hold'em ring games, the app now also features Sit and Go and Multi-Table tournaments (Regular, Freerolls, Qualifiers, Major and more).
i live california. can you still download the app and play at the practice tables if you live outside new jersey?
While you may be able to download the PartyPoker app in California, I suspect that it will not launch anywhere outside of the state of New Jersey so you wouldn't be able to play at the practice tablets. We've listed a number of US friendly mobile poker sites on our poker page that accept both real-money and play money players based ANYWHERE in the USA.

The latest upgrade to the PartyPoker app includes multi-tabling. You can can now easily switch between 4 different tables while playing on your tablet or smartphone.
