Poker Analytics 5

It’s finally here, freshly released on the App Store!

First of all, we’d like to thank all beta testers! We’ve fixed a lot of bugs thanks to you, and all your comments has been very helpful.

This version is the result of all the feedback accumulated through the years. We know some features has been asked since a long time and we’re very happy to finally bring them to you. We’ve tried to bring you a fastest, clearest, more comprehensive and more complete app to show you the most meaningful poker statistics we can. There are changes on all sides: user experience, graphics, and of course lots of features.

Poker Analytics 5 is a free update. If you use automatic updates, maybe the app has already been downloaded on your device! Otherwise, rush the App Store and update the app now!

Feed

We’ve completely redesigned the History tab for a better user experience. In this brand new tab, you can add your sessions, hands and transactions in one tap, bringing you a much faster experience for your most frequent needs.

You’ll now see not only a list of sessions as before, but we’re also showing your hands and transactions. And if by any chance you just want to see sessions, you can filter by data type, and have a view similar the previous version.

All your sessions, hands and transactions in one place

Calendar

We’re introducing a brand new tab, the amazing Calendar. In this new view, you’ll be able to quickly compare different stats by month and by year.

Select a month, a year and the stat of your choice!

After spending a lot of time playing with stats, like us, you will want to tap on any row to have a detailed report of the time period you’ve selected. Lots of new stats and graphs just for you!

Select one row and get access to this georgeous report!

New stats like longest win & lose streaks, days played, number of locations played, the beautiful new distribution graphs, you’ll get a detailed view of each of month and year you played! Tap on the graphs to get a full screen view!

Custom fields

In Poker Analytics you can create your own custom sessions fields!

If you feel we’ve missed something in the app, or if you have some specific needs, you can create additional fields that will be displayed in your sessions.

There are 3 different types of custom fields:

List: specify your own values
Number: enter any number you want
Amount: enter any amount of your choice

The most used is the list type which let you create a field with predefined values. For example, you could create a “Physical Shape” field, with several values like: Great, OK, and Bad. Afterwards, using the amazing custom reports, you can create a report showing your Net Result, or Hourly Rate, or Win Ratio, or whatever, using the comparator “Physical Shape”, and see the statistics for each data set.

Check out the steps below:

In More > Settings, add a custom field. Then tap on “**plus”** to add items.

Create a new report (Reports > **plus**). Give a name and select a statistic.

In comparators, scroll at the bottom to see your custom field

Tap on your custom report and enjoy the results!

Custom fields also have an interesting option that we’ve added recently, which is Copy on duplicate (see first screenshot). Enable this option, and whenever duplicating a session, the value of the custom field will be copied in your new session.

That ends the custom fields documentation! If you have questions, contact us, otherwise, good luck at the tables!

Sessions default parameters & Geolocation

From time to time we’re being asked how to change the defaults of each session.

When talking parametrization of the app, adding options, our answer is often “meh…”. We’d rather not add more buttons, more stuff in the user interface.

1. Automatic defaults

So how does this translate to the default values of your session when you create a cash game session or a tournament?

The way this work is that we’re grabbing a number of your latest sessions from your current location and looking at your preferred style of play. What’s important there is the current location. We’re using geolocation to find where you find where you’re located when starting a session. Note: geolocation data are stored only on your device, we do not store any geolocation on our servers. Actually, you might not be aware but we do not own any servers.

So, if you haven’t enabled geolocation when you were first asked to, you should really activate it as it will give you way better results for your default parameters!

To do that, go on your device and then Settings > Privacy & Security > Location services.

Now the “little” issue is that all your older locations aren’t geolocated. So next time you go at your favorite casino, edit that location and update its geolocation! Go in More > Settings > Locations to do that.

Side note: Having geolocated location will open you the world of the beautiful Reports > Locations report, where you’ll see each location played on a map!

2. Duplicates

You might not be aware of this but it’s possible to duplicate sessions in the app. Simply long tap on a session row, that’s it!

We feel this dual system should cover most of your needs. If you have any questions or feedback, contact us!

Hello,

we’re finally there! Today is a big step towards the release of the amazing version 5, and today we’re going into beta!

So how…?

Step 0

If you’re a version 3 user and have iCloud enabled, please disable it until having everything up and running on version 5.

Step 1

Make a back-up, even multiples backups.

How to backup? There are many options available to you:
