Introducing Poker Analytics 3.0

Hello everybody!

Poker Analytics Bamboo has just been released on all App Store! We are really proud and incredibly excited about it.

When we started defining the content of Bamboo, we wanted to fill the gap of what we think should be a true mobile poker tracker. We also wanted to remove the clutter from the current version and push the user experience further. So there are some major visual changes but we think everybody will quickly feel at home.
We will make a series of posts to detail the new features of the app, for now you can already check the release note.

We couldn’t have achieved this without the help of all our loyal beta testers. You’ve put together more than 50 hours of tests on the beta, and we find that pretty impressive! Your feedback and testing have been awesome, so thank you very much everybody!

Besides making deep changes to the app, we are doing some cleanup to the Poker Analytics lineup on the App Store:

The full featured Poker Analytics will be renamed to Poker Analytics Pro.
Poker Analytics Regular no longer exists as an app. It is now available only as an in-app purchase in the free edition of Poker Analytics.
Poker Analytics Lite becomes Poker Analytics. We’ve decided to remove the LITE from the name bacause with hand histories as an unlimited feature and with the M-factor calculator, this edition becomes a real standalone app.

In that regard, we have a big announcement to make regarding the pricing and in-app purchases. We want Poker Analytics Pro to become the standard of mobile poker tracking, so starting today the app comes at $9.99 on the US App Store, check the price on your local store! We are also including the currency management in all versions!

The app has been translated in german, so check your settings!

Happy sessions!

Bamboo’s new feature: Hand History

Hi there,

It’s already been two years since Poker Analytics has been released and we’ve been thrilled with the ride! We have got great response from the community so we would like to thank you again. And it was time to make some major improvements to your favorite app, so we’ve listened to everything you told us and decided to go for a new major release: Poker Analytics 3.0 codenamed “Bamboo”.

We would like to take some time to explain one of the biggest addition to this version: hand histories. With it, you can simply and quickly add any hand history during a session and share it.

And you can test it right now! Our beta is open and we need your feedback. You can already register at http://tflig.ht/1hCrlzC.

Hand reviews are one of the key of winning at poker. Discussing about a hand with other players is one of the most efficient way to improve. It’s even more powerful if you have the chance to discuss the hand with better players, that’s why we’ve added the sharing on your favorites social networks.

There is two way to add a new hand. You can record a hand directly from a session and get automatic setup of the table size and blinds. You can also add hands freely using the Hands tab.

The first part of the screen is the hand setup: table size, blinds, ante, stacks, and your hand.

Poker Analytics Regular is here!

Let us introduce you our new app: Poker Analytics Regular. This app is a new affordable entry point to be able to track your poker results.

Between the lite version and the pro version, you will find inside enough features to let you track and follow your results, as nicely and seriously as the pro version.

However, if you feel you need more, like all the reports, complete statistics, coaching screens, etc. you will be able to buy, as in-app purchase, the features you need or directly upgrade to the pro version.

One more thing: we also decided to enable a donation system, if you feel we deserve it, we’ve added three special in-app purchase which let you donate toward your beloved developers.

Have fun at the tables.

1.9.0 is out!

The new version of Poker Analytics is now available on iTunes. This new version contains mainly a longtime request from our users: the multiple currency management.

This feature will let you have one main currency, which you can set in the “more” tab. Aside, each of your bankroll may have, if needed, a different currency.

Each of them will have a rate and this rate will be set either automatically using google rate service or manually by yourself.

The stats and reports will all be displayed using the main currency and the rate will be used to calculate the numbers from your “foreign” bankrolls.

After some thought, we decide to make this feature as a in-app purchase. This is our first step into this new way of financing our day to day work.

That’s why we also decide to create a new stand-alone version of poker analytics, cheaper but with fewer features. All the “pro” features will be available as in-app purchases. More on that in the next blog post.

Have fun at the tables.

A promising future?

This will be the final post of the challenge.

I’ve made just a few sessions since the last post and I’ve ended the challenge on Saturday. I’ve decided to mix four tables of NL5 with 2 tables of NL10 to try to speed things a bit. Actually things went ok on the NL10 tables but not so good at NL5. I’ve lost a bit at the end of the day, so here is the final screenshot of my bankroll:

It feels ok to look at this number, but when you look at the stats, it gets really lousy:

Yes I’ve played a lot, but let’s not forget that we have a huge 6.5% rake here in France. I’ve actually raked more than 325€ during the challenge. If we do the math I’ve cashed approximately one twelfth of my total earnings…but hey it’s good to make people work at Winamax, and some other for the ARJEL, isn’t it? Actually can someone build some kind of decentralized poker platform without rake please?

The overall performance chart:

What can we see here? We can discern a nice roller-coaster pattern, which is the the standard pattern for a pro like myself, so that’s a good sign…and what is also a good sign is that I’ve just reached the top of the mountain – it was really exhausting – and now I can finally start the next descent…

So that’s it for now guys, thanks for reading the challenge. Next post will probably be more Poker Analytics centric, but if you have any kind of wish about the app, please tell us!

See you on tables!
