Poker Tournament Manager Review
I am an avid poker player, playing a home game about once per month for the past 5-6 years. The host house rotates and I got tired of lugging around my laptop with my program for managing the game. I thought I would try an app for the iPhone. I downloaded this one and knew I had made a mistake as soon as I tried to set it up. While a time or interval can be set for the blinds, the time is set for all blinds, regardless of blind amount or amount of people in the game. In our games, the blind time will be longer in the beginning, while there are more people in the game, and will progressively get shorter as the blinds increase and people are knocked out. This keeps the game moving at a decent pace. The lack of being able to set the time for each blind individually is a huge weakness and makes this application worthless to me.

Best app
Great job developer, great app
Please please please change it so u can chosee between percentages to typing in a amount to the winners. In my games, we don't want to give someone like 50cents. Please change and then this will be the 1# app! P.s. Please
This is a keeper, but looking forward to an update…
Purchased and installed as our poker night started. Using the 'Quick Start' had no problem, discovered that you could pause the timer (good feature); as expected no stat's as I hadn't entered player names. For 2nd tournament, I followed the full set-up screens with no issues. As game play started, I visited the Player screen, easy… tapping 'Out' drops a player from the tournament, but as I discovered there's no UnDo (…a needed feature here…); so this tournament's stats would be invalid (the person I accidently dropped ended up winning). 3rd game I was careful as I marked the 1st player out, …opps, the responsive screen read two taps; so 3rd tournament stats also invalid (the 2nd person I accidently dropped ended up winning). Then, just over 3hrs into the night it ran out of juice & had to recharge (…need a sleep screen to preserve power…). I cleared invalid stat's and I'm looking forward to tracking stat's of our poker night …next starting next week. This is a keeper, but: 1) need confirmation of player drops (…adding Cancel next to the Done button would do it…), and 2) need to preserve power by letting the screen go dark.
No table features
Come on everyone! How about someone telling the rest of us before we spend the money downloading that this app is missing a HUGELY important feature; table management! There's no way of setting up tables nor does the app do table consolidation. Huge problem!
Great 
What ever I want is in there thanks
