## Description

**Poker Club HQ** is an all-in-one tournament timer and management app for poker clubs, leagues, and home games. Run professional tournaments with a full-screen countdown timer, blind levels, antes, breaks, estimated end times, customizable themes, and QR-code sharing for live read-only displays.

Manage players, tables, buy-ins, add-ons, rebuys, re-entries, knockouts, and drag-and-drop seating with assisted table balancing based on TDA 2024 guidelines. Automatically calculate payouts, manage bounties, and support even splits, chip chops, ICM, or custom chops.

## Review summary

Overall, the app is praised for its deep customization and reliable timer, making it ideal for home games and clubs, plus strong support and solid external-display use. Recurring drawbacks include sync issues across devices, occasional stability problems, and a desire for broader ecosystem support (Apple TV/Mac, PiP) and UI improvements for big-screen visibility. The core experience remains strong, with many users finding it essential for tournaments and large group play.

### Pros

- Extensive customization of blinds, antes, breaks, seating, and payouts to fit various game formats (home games, leagues, and tournaments).
- Reliable timer with audible/voice alerts that keep players informed and help manage pace.
- Strong suitability for multi-player setups and large groups, including long-term use in clubs and regular home games.
- Responsive support and helpful in-app guidance, with developers actively assisting users.
- Excellent compatibility with external displays (HDMI/TVs) for sharing blinds and timer across screens, useful for home tournament setups.

### Cons

- Remote synchronization issues: starting, pausing, and timing can drift between devices when using the remote feature.
- Stability problems on some devices: reports of the app crashing or disappearing after launch.
- Gaps in ecosystem integration: requests for Apple TV and Mac versions, PiP, and broader multi-screen cross-device support are common.
- UI/visibility limitations on larger displays: seating charts and chip values aren’t always viewable at a glance and require scrolling.
- Occasional feature/accuracy gaps (e.g., blinds level inconsistencies) and ongoing requests for additional customization and alert options.
