## What is PokerBoss Tournament Manager?

PokerBoss Tournament Manager is just what you need to run your next home poker tournament or even a large multi-table tournament. A simple and clean interface allows you to easily see the timers at a glance. Support for Airplay (or HDMI adapters) allows the timer to be displayed on a big screen TV so everyone can see the timer for large tournaments.

Both audio and visual alerts can be used to signal the end of a round and an optional 1 minute warning is available. Blinds can be easily edited to accommodate your own blind structure or use the provided blinds to quickly get started.

Automatically saves your customized tournaments for later use. Keeps a record of all buy-ins, rebuys and addons so you know the current total of the prize pool and calculates the payouts for the winners.

### 5/5 — This is the one!

*2025-01-25, version 1.7.1*

I have tried many, many apps for tournament games. THIS IS THE BEST! Easy to set up. Easy to use. Easy to make changes, even on the fly! Cast it up to a TV screen and you would think you’re in a casino game! My poker league loves it. My home game players love it. With the optional purchase features you can keep track of everything. Stop searching. This is the one!

### 1/5 — Won’t open after purchase

*2021-04-28, version 1.7.1*

Just got the app. Decided to pay a couple bucks for ad delete and unlimited players. Now app won’t open. Have restarted iPad and still won’t open. Frustrating. Would like a refund.

### 4/5 — Great...

*2021-03-07, version 1.7.1*

The only lacking feature is the ability to round payout to $5 or $10 increments. Players bringing twenty dollar bills don’t want fish around for singles after hours of playing, but a great app.

### 5/5 — This is what you need to run a tournament

*2020-02-26, version 1.6*

Cats meow

### 2/5 — Please fix the bugs

*2019-07-15, version 1.6*

So I buy the full version for £4.99 and for the whole of 2 minutes I could do everything however then the app crashed and now don’t open. 

One thing this app needs other than actually working is auto balance tables ie tournaments were you late entry you want example 8 players registered at the start you have 2 tables 6 seat on one 2 n the other or if you have a table of 6 and 5 and a player goes out on the 5 table you need the tables to balance.

However.... this app has great potential but at the moment doesn’t work. I’ve been waiting for an app like this for along time so fix it.

### 3/5 — Not near the best

*2018-08-08, version 1.5.3*

Works ok, but needs a way to keep the player list and ability to identify those playing with a simple check...putting the same players in every time is not preferred. Once on a break, there is no way to fast forward the clock if everyone is ready to restart. A few other minor issues, but it’ll work ok...been using it for a month now, but will be looking for a better app to run the tourney here

### 3/5 — Tommy w

*2016-01-18, version 1.3.4*

Set everything up quite easily but can't get sound alerts to work

### 5/5 — PokerBoss Review

*2015-06-21, version 1.3.4*

I use this app weekly and really appreciate it. I paid to remove advertising just to give the author some money for his/her production of this nice tool. It does everything I need to run a good tourney match at home. 
     The only thing I'd have changed or fixed is the Alert Audio. For some reason, when I START the timer, it mutes the Audio Alert and I forget to go un-mute it until I've missed the first or second blind increase. 
     I highly recommend it for everyone on the iPad or iPhone.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2014-06-22, version 1.3.1*

Perfect for any poker game, quick easy to use everything you want from an app.
