PokerReads
Perfect memory, sharper reads
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
PokerReads is private opponent memory for serious poker players.
Turn your own notes, group chats, screenshots, hand histories, voice memos, and session logs into structured reads on the opponents you actually face.
Use PokerReads for prep, study, review, and private record-keeping — before you sit, after you play, and between sessions. PokerReads is not a HUD, solver, table overlay, or live-hand advice tool. It does not read a poker client or tell you what action to take while a hand is in progress.
What PokerReads helps you do:
• Build private opponent profiles from your own notes and hand evidence
• Keep reads organized by player, game, source, session, and tag
• Review source-backed tendencies without losing the caveats
• Track sessions, bankroll, guardrails, and recurring leaks
• Search across reads, hands, sessions, and notes
• Share redacted scout links when you choose, without exposing the full vault
• Rate reads with anonymous feedback so the product gets sharper without storing your private read text as public training data
PokerReads is private by default. Your reads, hand histories, bankroll records, and notes stay tied to your account. Group and scout sharing are opt-in.
Built for serious live players, mixed-game players, online-to-live grinders, study groups, and crews who already have valuable poker memory scattered across too many places.
more Bankroll, redrawn. One graph, one number, and the sessions behind it. Cash and tournaments split when you have both. Tap any point on the curve to open that session. The full dashboard lives under Tools.
Sessions open instantly. Your history paints from the device before the network refreshes it.
Edit a session's start and end times in two taps. The hours follow, including sessions that run past midnight.
Sell action from the start. Every cash session asks whether you are selling action and to whom. The saved session shows each backer's share of buy-ins, payout, and result.
Back a friend's cash game. In Staking, send a backer code. Once the player accepts, their stack updates reach your feed while they play, through to the final count.
Share live. Pick who can follow a session the moment you start it.
Also in this update: the rebuy and add-on sheet no longer jumps while you type, and the camera and photo prompts say exactly what they are for.
1.0.30 Sep 4
Reads got a full engine upgrade. Every player report now opens with a synthesized read built only from your saved hands, with hand-number receipts on every claim. Deeper reports auto-open when the file is thick. Friends can be added by username. Plus stability and speed work across the app.
1.0.29 Aug 13
The Poker Journal now lives in the tab bar, one tap from anywhere, and you can attach any session you have ever played to an entry with search. Reflections got sharper: the coach now quotes your own words back with dates and holds them against your real results. Under the hood, this update turns on the engine that checks reads against the hands that arrive after them and turns your feedback into engine test cases. Plus a deeper, calmer dark look, one honest green, and dozens of fixes from full days of live play testing.
1.0.28 Jul 11
The table, scanned.
• Point and read. Aim the scanner at a live tournament table and PokerReads lifts every seat — names included — drops the dealer and your own seat automatically, and brings known players back with their photo and tournament history already attached.
• Rename in a tap. Fix any player's name straight from the table setup or the reads list. What you type is what sticks — no menus, no digging.
• A new bankroll. Rebuilt to show where you stand, where you've been, and the swings in between, all in one glance.
• A 30-day safety net. Delete a player by accident and they wait in the recycle bin until you're certain.
• Tags that sort. Find players by stake and style, with the tag right there on the row.
• Share with your circle. Send any player read to the groups you trust.
And a steadier, quicker feel throughout.
1.0.23 Jun 18
A sharper read, everywhere.
• Verdicts you can act on. Every player now carries a difficulty verdict — Very Tough through Very Exploitable — with the score and sample size right next to it. Thin samples say so.
• Key Reads on the player page. The three reads that matter, numbered, with confidence on each line. The full read is still there when you want the depth.
• The graph tells the truth at a glance. Losing stretches draw in red, winning stretches in green — on the trend line, the area fill, and every chip that quotes a number.
• One hero per screen. Each tab opens on the single thing that matters most right now — the read to refresh, the bankroll number, the session clock.
• Feel. Press feedback on every control, cleaner motion, and no more clipped labels anywhere in the app.
• No more cold starts. Screens sketch their layout while your data loads instead of popping in from a spinner.
1.0.22 Jun 12
v1.0.19 - Hand history export + bankroll trust
Hand history repository upgraded
- Tap a saved hand to open the full detail screen. Edit the body, change labels, copy, share, or delete.
- Edits trigger a fresh synthesis so the opponent read can update.
Plain text to standardized PokerStars-format HH
- Hands with enough exact structure can export as PokerStars-format text for GTO Wizard, Hand2Note, PokerTracker 4, Holdem Manager 3, and replayers.
- NLHE export was live-verified in GTO Wizard Analyzer.
- PLO export uses legal PokerStars-format output with pot-limit safety checks for PLO-capable importers. GTOW PLO upload remains unverified, so we do not claim GTOW-ready PLO.
- Strict export refuses to fabricate action math. b75/b80 stays percentage-of-pot; if exact chip sizes are ambiguous, PokerReads returns repair hints instead of inventing dollars.
Bulk export + raw fallback
- Export the hand repository as PokerStars text, raw text, CSV, plain text, or JSON.
- Repair-needed and out-of-scope hands are quarantined into the footer with raw source, warnings, and repair hints so one bad hand does not poison a clean import file.
- Raw text export remains verbatim with no parser or transformation.
Bankroll trust upgrades
- Completed-session rebuy edits now show edit history and Undo.
- Sessions auto-link to the bankroll ledger; edit the session and the ledger follows.
- Multi-currency account reconciliation, 30-day recycle bin, year-end tax CSV, tournament ROI polish, and start-time edge insights.
Live-session fixes
- Edit table and Refresh reads now work from live sessions.
- Table scanner avoids retrying already-cached players.
- Poker shorthand like srp, 3bp, x/r, and b80 now normalizes correctly for synthesis.
1.0.19 May 20
Pricing tier structure updated. Existing Pro subscribers continue at their current rate. New Champion tier adds founder-led onboarding, a monthly 30-minute review call, and one priority synthesis per month. Bug fixes and stability improvements.
1.0.18 May 14
v1.0.17 makes PokerReads calmer to open, faster to use, cleaner to read, and more honest about what it knows.
Home / Reads is rebuilt around what you'll actually do next: one clear primary action, a glanceable queue of recent reads, no dense feed. Bankroll Intelligence answers "what should I do this session?" — active state, risk and guardrail summary, decision queue, no clipped chips. Live tables persist all night. Player Read has one button instead of three. Synthesis status stops lying about timing.
What's new:
• Home / Reads rebuilt — one clear top action, scannable read queue, less text-heavy
• Bankroll Intelligence top-of-screen — active session state, risk and guardrail summary, decision queue (up to 3 items), cleaner action chips
• Live Session table lineup persists for the whole session (restart-safe)
• Reads pre-warm per opponent with status chips: Read ready / Analyzing / Queued / No reads yet
• Bankroll Resume Session card the moment a table is attached
• Bankroll Table quick action to start a session straight from the dashboard
• Player Read consolidated to one Generate or Refresh button at the top
• Honest synthesis status: "still working — safe to leave the screen, we'll send a notification" instead of false-precision ETAs
• Background completion notifications include the game scope so you jump back to the right read
• Failure recovery preserves muscle memory — Try again sits where Generate was
• Memory at scale — full-text search across reads, hands, sessions, notes
• Curated multi-color tags on players, sessions, hands, notes
• Activation funnel cleanup — referral codes are truly optional, email-confirmation has resend + auth-state poll, first real read gets a celebration moment
• Auth screens respect iPhone notch and safe-area insets
• Buttons stop clipping across Player Read, Table Scanner, Groups
• Session Detail loses its duplicate header
• First-run smoke check catches startup failures before you see them
• Rate reads with thumbs up / thumbs down — anonymized feedback helps PokerReads learn what is working. Your actual reads and hand histories stay private by design.
Not in this build: no pricing experiment traffic and no server-side weekly push. The synthesis engine is unchanged from the last release; engine-side improvements are still in internal evals.
1.0.17 May 11
v1.0.16 — Weekly Review + faster first read.
NEW
• Sunday-night Weekly Review: net result, four-week trend, biggest swing, biggest leak, best game, account drift, and a recommended next-week plan. One tap to review with the AI coach.
• Save a hand for a new opponent → land straight on the player view, synthesis already streaming. No more confirmation alert in the way.
• Live-Read Prewarm: opponent reads queue in the background while you play, so they're ready when you tap.
• Share a Read: send a scrubbed scout link. When a friend signs up, both accounts get 30 days of Pro free.
IMPROVED
• Telegram chat pastes route to the right import path.
• Settings → Contact Support emails arrive with your account stamp + diagnostics so we can answer faster.
• Demo read shows before sign-up.
