I am amending my previous review and upgrading my rating to a 4-star! I ended up deleting the app off my iPhone 8+ and installing Version 2.6. I was very pleased to find that my two personal structures were intact and ready to use when I logged back in.Also, I found the slightly different and upgraded interface easier to use - and quite a bit more intuitive.I introduced our monthly poker league to Blinds Up last year and the group loves having a live timer they could see from anywhere in the room. We typically get 20 - 30 players every month and the sounds and voice elements of the blind timer add a level of real professionalism to our fun and friendly game!You can take this app pretty deep in terms of keeping track of your league standings and player stats, etc.It took me less than 10 minutes to create and save our standard league structure. It also has a very handy and powerful structure generator based on just a few simple parameters.The developers have worked very hard to address any bugs and issues and do a terrific job of communicating with the Blinds Up community through Facebook and through even direct email. Based on their responsiveness and kind communications I am happy to pay the subscription even though they offered me a free one. I want to do my part to support this really fun and useful app…!
Poor Developer Support.

Do NOT pay for the premium content. I have been using this app for 2.5 years: Year one was GREAT! (Previous app version) it was just what I needed. Year two, there was a MAJOR update, SUPER buggy. Also, all of the features that I had gotten used to were now only available with a "premium" subscription. Once many of the kinks were worked out, I decided to use the rake from my monthly game to pay for the premium content. I had some account issues at first, but with some (slow) help from the developer, the issues were resolved. The app worked OK with the occassional crash or restart. Fast forward to year 2.5 (now), time to renew my annual subscription. I was charged by Apple the $24 to renew, yet all of the premium features got locked down. The app says I am no longer a subscriber. After three days of contacting the developer, I have received no response. (Must be holiday in France.) Well, *I* am NOT on holiday and it's time for my monthly game, so I have requested (and received) a refund from Apple. I will continue to use this as a timer ONLY until I find a more suitable app with adequate support.
New version is terribly buggy

I have been using this app for our weekly poker game for more than 3 years.It was simple and worked fine. The championship feature (adding up multiple tournaments) wasn’t that great but the app worked.I really wanted to like the upgraded version, we waited for more than a year of the developer offering it “very soon”.Its look-and-feel is intuitive, and it has some nice settings and features vs. old version. I don’t mind too much the steep price increase (from under $5 once to $27 per year)But since it downloaded on its own it has been a mess. The upgrade crashed several times, had to delete and install multiple times just before a tournament started with 15 people waiting for me. It crashes and shuts down multiple times during a any tournamenti have no way of getting it to play any sounds (calling end of rounds, blinds, etc) completely mute.It used to email a table with results, when requested which was great to share with everyone in our league and to compile in excel for further historical record, now you get the email with no attachmentIf the upgrades to fix bugs are going to take as much as the last upgrade, is just another piece of (electronic) junk
I expect to use something that I’ve paid for

FOLLOW UPThe app developer responded to my email requesting information to sort out the problem. I responded on February 17th with the requested information and requested a refund, due to the fact that I was not able to use the app in time for the tourney I was hosting. I followed up with an additional email on February 20th requesting a status on my request.As of today (February 22nd), no response from the developer regarding my requests for a refund. Not surprised to see the ratings for this app dropping like a rock.ORIGINAL POSTI was a very big fan of this app until just recently. First of all, I don’t like that I have to pay a monthly subscription to use services that I didn’t have to pay for before. But I like the app so much that I accepted the $3.99 monthly fee so that I could use the app like I have in previous tournaments I have hosted.Much to my dismay, the app failed to load the premium services even after I had paid for it. On one hand it says that I have already paid for the premium services and then I receive a second message that says I cannot access iTunes store. So I’m forced to use a different poker timer for my tournament this weekend.I am on my third email to the company about this issue. They have not responded to date.
