Some small UI improvements: 1) Show a one-time informational alert when you use the “Set Deck Card Dead/Live” button for the first time, to better explain how to set dead cards. Thanks to customer Heather K. for writing in about this. 2) Set the text size of the toolbars’ buttons in a cleaner way, so that the toolbars don’t overflow if you set the iOS system text size setting to a very large text size. 3) Change the app’s display name on the home screen to “PokerCruncher”, from the abbreviated name “PkrCruncher”.

Improvements for the “View Card Removal Effect” setting/feature, e.g. to the 4x4 Hand Combos (suits) view. 1) Add extra clarification in the UI for the behavior of the “View Card Removal Effect” setting: takes *card removal effects* into account, but not *range removal effects*. So, enter a player’s specific hand as *2 specific cards* from the *card deck*, not as a (1-combo) *hand range*. 2) Add an info. alert for the above usage-case (1-combo hand range). 3) Show card removal effect in the 4x4 Hand Combos (suits) view (if this setting is ON): dim combos that aren’t live due to card removal effect. * Note that these combos are still ON/OFF editable in the range (e.g. a combo can be in the range but not live). * Also note that combos are also (slightly less) dimmed when you multi-select cells in the range grid, but this is a different dimmed meaning (multi-select) than card removal effect (the latter dimmed meaning only applies when you have exactly one cell selected in the range grid). 4) Update the Hand Range Editor screen’s Help screens and the Tutorial with these changes. 5) Make dead cards in the card deck slightly brighter for better visibility, and also do the same for the board’s non-dealt cards (cards to the right of the Deal-To setting). 6) Rename the 4x4 “Suits” view to “Hand Combos” view in the UI and the Tutorial.

A big user interface upgrade for iPhone X-series models … at last :). 1) All screens and views are taller and wider, and have an improved layout. 2) The screens show more info. e.g.: * The main screen always shows the Stats view (so no need to open/close it). And it shows the scenario’s notes at the bottom of the screen. * The Hand Range Editor screen always shows the Suits (hand combos) view (so no need to open/close it). This makes it easier to see and work with a range’s hand combos. 3) Everything is sharper/higher-res, including the card and suit icons. Also, some small UI improvements for all iPhone models: * Better column alignment in the Range Heat Map Details text, for better readability. * Small layout fix in the Enter Hand Range Name screen, to the range number label. * A few minor wording improvements in the menus and dialogs.

An edge-case bug fix for “Export All Saved Ranges”, and a wording improvement to the “Export All Saved …” menu buttons. 1) Edge-case bug fix for “Export All Saved Ranges”: If you had saved hand ranges with hand range names that contain special chars like “&”, the exported text was getting cut off at that point (at the special char). This has been fixed, so you can now use special chars like “&” in hand range names. 2) Wording improvement to the “Export All Saved …” menu buttons: Reword these menu buttons to “Export/Back-Up All Saved …”, to indicate that these menu buttons can be used to back up your saved hand ranges and saved scenarios. ===== App Reviews ===== App Store reviews help PokerCruncher succeed and get even better, and are greatly appreciated, thank you! -RJ, PokerCruncher, LLC

An edge case “Calc” button bug fix: * If you did repeated calc’s fast, starting the next calc immediately after the current calc ends, you could have sometimes gotten a crash. You had to be really stress-testing the app to get this; wouldn’t have happened in normal usage. In any case this has been fixed. Also (in V.11.6.1): * Double the default number of Monte Carlo simulation trials, to a cool 1 million trials. * When import a hand range via its text, handle the abbreviated syntax e.g. “K9+”, which means “K9s+, K9o+”. * Minor wording improvements in the UI e.g. uppercase/lowercase changes. * Add the app’s name in small print at the top of the main screen. ===== App Reviews ===== App Store reviews help PokerCruncher succeed and get even better, and are greatly appreciated, thank you! -RJ, PokerCruncher, LLC

Small improvements to keep the app in top form: 1) Double the default number of Monte Carlo simulation trials, to a cool 1 million trials. Today’s faster devices can handle it, giving us even more accuracy in the stats. If needed, you can use the “Number Of Sim. Trials” setting in the main screen’s Menu. 2) When import a hand range via its text, handle the abbreviated syntax e.g. “K9+”, which means “K9s+, K9o+”. 3) Minor wording improvements in the UI e.g. uppercase/lowercase changes. 4) Add the app’s name in small print at the top of the main screen. ===== App Reviews ===== App Store reviews help PokerCruncher succeed and get even better, and are greatly appreciated, thank you! -RJ, PokerCruncher, LLC

1) Make the batch-import saved hand ranges feature more robust: * Retain spaces in the names of the imported saved hand ranges (before, spaces were being stripped). * Better error handling/reporting. 2) Make the app’s splash screen cleaner, for the latest/newest version of iOS. ===== App Reviews ===== App Store reviews help PokerCruncher succeed and get even better, and are greatly appreciated, thank you! -RJ, PokerCruncher, LLC
