#2Really good idea.

#3You should make it more animated. Piles of cash/markers or something like that. In the current state it is pretty boring. Either way I would likely not use it when you can just as well use anything else.

#4few suggestions:
- I can't specify that I have folded. Every time I have to put some money
- Let a single person take control of it(that will be the dealer)
for me above two are the bare minimum requirement to make it usable.

#5I love the idea. The execution could use some improvement.
My suggestion is to focus on the user experience of one phone per game, rather than one phone per player. This way the players can pass that phone around as a marker of who's bet it is. When it's your turn, you look at the phone, see your chips, make a decision, place your bet, then pass to the next player.
Bonus points if you tie this into a tracking system and let players create leaderboards they fill over time.
