Online poker site partypoker recently announced that it has addressed one of the biggest complaints that emerged from players who were using its mobile app. That compliant was about the lack of multi-table games. The partypoker app had earlier allowed only a single table to be open at any given point of time which was affecting player experience.
The company has fixed this issue in its latest upgrade after taking its player feedback seriously and fixing the issue. The new and improved app is now available for both Android and iOS-based devices and will allows players to participate in as many as four games at the same time.
The site has also launched an app for Windows phones recently.

Players can either play four tournaments or four cash games, or a mix of the two types of these games at the same time. This flexibility is a dramatic improvement over the previous mobile app experience and brings the party poker offering closer to that of its competitors. GVC, the parent company of partypoker decided to overhaul the app based on feedback from players who have indicated that playing more than one game at a time on the app was critical for them.

The site has released an instruction video titled ‘How To Become a Multi-Table Master’ (shown above) to help players quickly grasp the nuances of the new app.
