Frequently asked questions

Tracking sessions

Can I add a session after I've finished playing?

Yes. In the New tab, create the game of your choice. Then, at the bottom of the setup, select Date and choose the beginning and the end of your session.

Can I import hand histories from my poker site?

No. Poker Analytics doesn't connect to any poker site and doesn't process hand histories from one. It focuses on the contextual analysis of your sessions, entered manually, and groups your live, online, cash game and tournament results into one picture.

You can still record individual hands yourself for later review — see hand histories.

What exactly is a “location”?

A location is a physical place — a casino, a card room, a friend’s house, your own kitchen table. Locations can be geolocated, so the app can work out your usual game as soon as you arrive.

If you play online, set the location to wherever you physically are, and use a separate bankroll for each site you play on. That keeps the two questions apart: where you were, and which account the money is in.

How do I enter the result of an online session?

Three ways, whichever fits how you play:

  • Net result — just the amount you won or lost.
  • Stack and buy-in — enter what you bought in for and what you cashed out, and the app takes the difference.
  • Bankroll value — enter what your bankroll is worth at the end of the session, and the app works backwards.
Can I add my own fields to a session?

Yes. If something matters to you that we have not thought of, add it as a custom field and it appears on every session. There are three types:

  • List — your own set of values to choose from.
  • Number — any figure. Numeric fields get sums and averages in your reports.
  • Text — free text.
Does the app remember how I usually play?

Yes, and deliberately without a settings screen for it. Rather than asking you to configure defaults, Poker Analytics works them out: it looks at what you have played before, and — if you allow geolocation — at where you are right now. Arrive at your usual room and the session is mostly filled in before you touch it.

Reports & filters

I got a bonus while playing. How do I compare my hourly rate with and without it?
  • Inside the session, add a transaction for the bonus with the plus button.
  • Under Stats, tap the top-right button and filter that transaction type in or out.
How does the app know how many hands I played?

Live, it estimates. You tell the app how many hands your table deals in an hour, and it applies that to the session’s duration. That estimate is what makes big blinds per 100 hands meaningful for live play, where nobody is counting hands at the table.

You can also enter an exact hand count on any session if you have one.

What is a dataset?

A filter you have saved permanently. Build the combination you care about — a stake, a room, a format, a date range — and keep it, so it is one tap away from anywhere in the app rather than something you rebuild each time.

Can I build my own reports?

Yes. The report engine is all yours — sort, filter and compare your data however suits you, and save the result as a custom report.

Can I filter my results?

Yes. Filters apply to your session list and stats directly, and to every report. You can also save a filter as a dataset so it's always one tap away.

Data, import & export

Can I export my data?

Yes. Export your sessions to CSV, which opens in Excel, or to XML if you want to import the data back into the app later. Note that XML exports don't include custom reports and hands.

I use another tracker for my online games. Can I bring that data over?

Yes, for most desktop and iPhone trackers — check the list of supported trackers. If yours isn't covered, ask us about a custom import.

Can I track more than one currency?

Yes, and it has been there a long time. Each bankroll can have its own currency and conversion rate, which is what you want when you play a series abroad.

You also set one display currency. Whenever results from several bankrolls are added up — on the statistics screen, for instance — that is the currency they are converted into.

Subscription & platforms

What happens to my sessions if I stop my subscription?

Nothing. Everything stays in place, so you can keep looking at your results and export your data whenever you want.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Payments and subscriptions are handled by the stores, not by us. Cancel through Apple or Google.

Is the app available on desktop?

On a Mac with an Apple Silicon chip, yes — get it from the Mac App Store.

Where is the iOS hand history keyboard?

We took it out of the app and released it as a standalone app.

Is there a HUD in Poker Analytics?

No, and there cannot be. A HUD needs to read your hand history files as you play and draw an overlay on top of the poker client. Desktop software can do that. A phone cannot: apps are sealed off from each other’s files, and nothing may draw over another app.

What Poker Analytics does instead is track your own results and the hands you choose to record, which is the part that works everywhere — including at a live table, where no HUD has ever helped anyone.
