Poker Notes is a fast, private player-note tracker built for live poker. SEE THE WHOLE TABLE Lay out your game on a felt poker table, 9-handed or 10-handed, with the dealer at the top. Tap an empty seat to seat a player and mark where you're sitting. Every player's note appears under the table in seat order. When someone changes seats, touch and hold their chip, then tap their new seat. Prefer a simple list? Switch to the list view in Settings. REMEMBER EVERY OPPONENT Track tendencies, play styles, physical descriptions, tells and favorite hands. Write hands in card shorthand like AsKs and they show up as playing cards. Add a photo from your camera or library, and tap it to see it full size. Color-coded play styles, including your own custom styles, show you who's who at a glance. FIND ANYONE FAST Search your players by name, description or notes, or show only players with photos, and add them to the table in a tap. Expand the notes you need, and swipe a player away when they leave. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your notes stay on your device. No account, no ads, no analytics. Export a backup with your photos whenever you like, and import notes from a CSV file. POKER NOTES PRO Poker Notes is free for up to 15 player notes. Poker Notes Pro unlocks unlimited notes with a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Your notes are never deleted if Pro ends.
