Seat draw, balancing tables, time remaining, blinds, ranking, customized voice messages, customized TV screen, average stack, breaks... Everything you need for your own poker tournaments. Manage your poker tournaments like a pro: - Set up your tournament structure (buy-in, rebuy, add-on, late entry etc), - Register your players, add their picture which will be broadcasted on your TV, in seat draw and in the remaining players. - Organize your seat draw (number of players per table, manual or automatic seat allocation, automatic rebalancing) - Define your rounds structure, add breaks, broadcast audio messages at key moments of your tournament (e.g. "last round for rebuy!") - Add your chip sets and make sure there are enough chips for everyone. - Connect your iPhone to your TV and customize your screen with your favorite wallpapers and colors. - Each of your players can check the TV screen at any time to see who has busted, who's in, the average stack, the prizepool, the time elapsed, the current and upcoming blinds and the time left until the next break. And even if they're not paying attention, they'll be notified by audio message of every blind raise. - Start your tournament and remotely manage all your players' actions (bust, rebuy, add-on) - Your tables are rebalanced automatically and seat changes are displayed on your TV. - At the final table, applaud the players who are leaving in a paid position whose portrait and winnings are displayed on your TV. With all of this, you're simply the best tournament director we've ever seen! Play poker responsibly. This app contains in-app purchases.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DSO at none against Poker's 3. Poker's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
