Poker Pals for iPhone

I'll be honest: I've never played in Words with Friends. I know that it is a popular and well-made play, but for some reason the game in the style of Scrabble has never attracted me. But Poker Pals , a social game, recently released by Chillingo and developed by Aspyr, has caused me genuine interest.
Instead of collecting the words letter by letter, you collect plates from poker hands, and earn points for creating the most rare. In each of the four corners of the card is a joker who will stand in line, and will match whatever you put next to them, and because the field is slightly smaller than a standard field Scrabble, I think this game faster and more interesting than game where you have to collect words.

Poker Pals, is integrated into the Game Center and asynchronous game pretty well done. One big disadvantage of this game is that Chillingo still clings to its social network Crystal, so all the achievements and liderbordy associated with it. This is an additional headache, forcing the two to manage social networks. But I'm honestly too lazy to create an account to Crystal, so I have no idea at what point in liderborde I am. I played this game on one platform, but in the description of iTunes says that you can not synchronize your account through the two devices. It's frustrating if you want to play on the iPad and iPhone at the same time.
But if you do not take into account all these disadvantages, mainly the game - very fun (especially considering that this is an asynchronous application) and you can start playing with friends directly through Game Center. Poker Pals is available for the iPhone for just a buck , but for the iPad in HD for $ 1.99 , or free as trial version for any platform.
