FAQs/Known Issues

FAQs
  • What happens if I get a call or want to quit the timer?
    Good news, when you return to the timer, it will act as if you've never left. It will display the correct round time and will have advanced the blinds if they increased while the timer was closed.

  • What are "profiles"?
    Profiles are simply custom settings. You can create as many new profiles as you'd like. These are saved to your phone and they allow you to quickly load different settings depending on the tournament you're playing.

    There are also built-in profiles that are designed to get you up and going right out of the box. One of these is the "World Series of Poker", which includes the entire blinds schedule used by the WSP.

    The best part about profiles is that you can switch them on the fly and you can quickly edit them without having to go through multiple screens or stop your currently running tournament.

  • How do I reset the timer?
    If you want to reset the entire tournament, shake the phone for a few seconds. You need to shake it pretty hard (didn't want to have the timer reset inadvertently). If you just want to reset the count-down timer, simply double-click on the timer.

  • Can I reset profiles?
    Yes, if you'd like to reset the built-in profiles to their original settings, shake your phone while in the settings screen. After you've shaken the phone for a few seconds a confirmaton dialog will appear, simply click 'OK'.

  • Can I navigate through the blinds easily?
    Yes, if you want to quickly skip ahead through the blinds, simply swipe your finger from right-to-left across the timer. You need to make sure you swipe completely across the screen. You can also navigate back through the blinds by swiping in the opposite direction.

  • Can I edit the payout amounts?
    Yes, click on the percentage value you'd like to edit, this will bring up the keyboard. Simply enter the value you'd like to calculate. Look for smarter payout editing in future builds.

  • Will the sound effects play over the speaker in the iPod Touch?
    Yes, it will play on the external speaker if you have the new version of the iPod touch. If you don't hear the sound effects, follow these steps: Settings > General > Sound Effects > And Enable "Both".
