What we shipped, and when.

Checking in from the website now closes when late registration ends after a break. A tournament set to close registration after a break kept taking check-ins on the website after that break, while the TV and the room display already read Registration closed.

Deleting your account now either finishes or tells you it failed, and it removes what the delete screens say it removes. Clubs you own are handed on or deleted, your posts and club memberships are deleted, and your past results stay in their tournaments under "Deleted player".

The TV sign-in page now says what went wrong in plain words, such as "That password doesn't match this account.", instead of a raw error code.

The Free plan card on the Plans page now shows its price as $0 instead of repeating "Free".

Apple App Store (long)

• A tournament that was launched but never started can now be ended from the Controller, and End always ends the game it was opened on.
• After ending a tournament while another is running, the results stay on the game that ended.
• The Active Tournament card shows a tournament only while it is running or about to start, and moves to your next running game when you end one.
• Quick Create lists everything a tournament is missing before the review opens, instead of one problem at a time.
• The HUD window keeps one display name as TVs join, and How to connect now lists every TV app, including Roku.
• A control pressed while offline says so in about a second, and signing out from a live screen no longer shows an error.
• A one-time question on the dashboard asks whether you would use a Poker Hawk Trainer: answer three quick questions, or close it for good.
• Countdowns on the Home card read hours, minutes and seconds like the rest of the app.
• Bug fixes and stability improvements.

This is mostly behind-the-scenes work so the TV apps can draw the same room display as the browser. The browser display should look the same as before.

The display now shows the new Poker Hawk logo, including the browser tab icon.

On a small screen, text that would be cut off even at its smallest size is now hidden instead of half shown, so you never see a clipped number under the message asking for a bigger window. That message is also shorter. On compact displays, short status lines such as the level, Time Elapsed and Next Break stay readable instead of being cut off, and long words wrap onto the next line.

There is a new page at pokerhawk.io/trainer about an idea we are weighing: a Poker Hawk Trainer, a short daily drill on the tournament spots that decide games. Three quick questions help us decide whether to build it. You can also leave your email to join its waitlist, and you will get one email confirming you are on it. Answering does not need an account, and the email is optional.

The Privacy Policy has a new section on what the trainer survey and waitlist collect, how they are used and how long they are kept. It covers only people who choose to answer, so nobody needs to accept it again.

Signing out with more than one tab of the site open now finishes in every tab. A tab in the background signs out by itself instead of waiting until you look at it, and the tab you signed out in keeps working, so signing back in there no longer hangs on "Signing in…".

If you mistype your email address in the Sign in box, it now says "Invalid email" straight away, before anything is sent.

This update also brings the website's framework and several of its building blocks up to date with their latest security fixes.

Signing in on the website now works the way it does in the app. Every button and page says "Sign in" and "Sign out", the password field has a show and hide toggle, an address with no account says "Account not found" with a button to create one, and signing out asks "Sign out?" first, so a stray click no longer signs you out.

Signing out now removes your account's data from the browser as well as the session. Your profile, awards, devices and club details no longer stay behind in the browser's storage for the next person on a shared computer, including a check-in computer at the venue. Sign out shows "Signing out…" for a moment and reloads the page, any other open tab of the site does the same, and changes you made just before signing out still save first.

Buying a theme now needs you to be signed in to the account it is for. The website shows the new Poker Hawk logo, including the browser tab icon and the account emails. A club's invite page now reads its code from where the club keeps it privately.

Leagues on the phone

The League tab now matches the desktop app. A closed season keeps its frozen figures and CSV, a new season gets its own name and real dates, league cards say when a season has ended, and the leader card names the top eligible player. Club totals say they are lifetime.

Hosting and the live screen

• Hosts and staff are asked "Are you also playing?" when they open a tournament they have not entered, then check in with the same steps as any player. • Live devices stay in sync: a surviving device takes over within 15 seconds, and a control pressed while offline is refused instead of replayed later. • The live screen holds up at large text sizes, a deep level's blinds stay whole, and the player sheet scrolls so Eliminate is always reachable. • Skipping to the next level asks the same question everywhere. • Correct a finished result from the Results tab, with a Correction history showing what moved and whether the amended email went out.

Displays, signup and awards

• Displays shows each TV app's version, reports failed changes, and opens the real Fire TV and Google TV listings. • Finishing signup goes straight to your dashboard. • Share earned achievements, accolades and titles as celebration images with a permanent link. • The Ideas board shows its whole promise under the title. • An iPhone no longer ignores taps after signing in.

Bug fixes and stability improvements.

Apple App Store (long)

• Leagues and seasons read the same everywhere: new seasons score the nights they cover, closed seasons keep their frozen figures and CSV, and league cards say when a season has ended.
• Hosts and staff are asked whether they are also playing, then check themselves in with the same steps as any player.
• Live devices stay in sync: a surviving device takes over within 15 seconds, and a control pressed while offline is refused instead of replayed later.
• Correcting a finished result keeps the Won column with the place, and the amended email reaches the players whose place changed.
• The audience HUD window keeps the view a host chose, reads hours before a start, and shows the join code to everyone who can open the tournament.
• Share earned achievements, accolades and titles as cards with a permanent link.
• Bug fixes and stability improvements.

Google Play (short)

• Leagues and seasons are consistent, with frozen figures for closed seasons.
• Hosts and staff are asked "Are you also playing?"
• Live devices take over within 15 seconds.
• Share earned awards as cards with a link.
• Bug fixes and stability improvements.

The room display now lays itself out from the screen it is on. Text stays readable on every size of TV, panels no longer drift off the edge of a large screen, and the smaller panels page through their contents every eight seconds without changing the view the host picked.

If you reload a browser display, it keeps the view the host chose from Displays, whether that is Single Table or All Tables, instead of going back to the standard display.

Before a tournament starts, the countdown reads hours when the start is an hour or more away, and the status card says "Starts in" and "Not started" instead of "Time left in level" and "Paused". When a device that runs the clock drops out, a surviving device takes over within 15 seconds and every clock follows the server's time.

A host on the Basic plan no longer shows the "Powered by Poker Hawk" mark on the display, as with Pro and Elite; the Free plan still shows it. The "Blinds up" notification now prints chip amounts with separators, such as 150,000/300,000.

Poker Hawk's plans are now named Free, Basic, Pro and Elite. The free plan, which used to be called Basic, is called Free everywhere, and the pricing page, home page, comparison pages, Manage plan and account emails describe four plans. A new Basic plan, up to 3 tables per tournament, shows on those pages only once it goes on sale, and nothing about an existing subscription, price or limit changes. Founder pricing covers every paid plan, Basic included.

Your earned achievements, accolades and titles can have a public page of their own. It is opt-in, only you can publish it, and a shared card comes as a square or wide image with a link preview that looks right on social media. The title you choose appears beside your name across the site, and your achievements and accolades pages now read from the same award record that powers sharing.

A tournament's public results page now says when its result was corrected, for example "Result corrected on October 14, 2026 — the winner changed.", and the link preview says so too. It never names who made the correction.

Hosts and staff checking in on the website are asked whether they are also playing. Choosing to play sends a check-in request to finish in the app, and choosing host or staff checks nobody in. On the Founder Program page, the last phase now reads "5 of 5 ready" while the founder era is open, rather than "done", which could read as if founder pricing had already closed.

See who is expected before check-in

• Going RSVPs now appear in the host’s Players list as Expected · RSVP, with their own count and filter. Search finds them alongside your entries.
• Press Check in when someone arrives to open their check-in flow. Expected members do not appear in your approval queue or change player, seat, chip or prize-pool totals.

Leagues and closing a season

• Your club now has a league that its seasons belong to. Forming one is guided: one decision per step, each explained, with an example of the points a 10-player night would award and a review before anything is saved. Start from the club name's menu, the League tab, or right after you create a club.
• A league can run on a schedule (monthly, quarterly or yearly) and forms its next season by itself 30 days before it starts. + Season starts one on the league's rules; you only pick the dates.
• A season is finished by Close season, which records its champion and freezes the final table. A closed season stays closed, and minimum events and top N qualifying rules now actually decide who can be crowned.
• Editing a season no longer wipes the nights you excluded or set to count double.
• The club tabs match the phone: Stats & Standings and League.

Achievements and accolades

• Achievements are redesigned: each family runs down the page with its tiers across, a tier opens to show its detail, and the dates you earned your badges are kept.
• New Accolades gallery, with one card per honour (Founder, season champion, an idea of yours we built), what earns it, and a dated history of every time you won it. Accolades have their own Dashboard card and show as small marks beside players in club and tournament lists.
• Founders get a Founder pill on their profile, beside their plan, and a small gold F beside their name in lists.

The HUD looks like the Android TV

• The desktop HUD now matches the TV app: the same panels and sizes, chip pictures in the chip strip, elapsed time in hours, minutes and seconds, and PAUSED with a red clock when the clock is paused.
• It shows everything the TV shows: all-tables and single-table seating, final results with a scan-for-results code, level beeps, the hand-for-hand banner, the join code, the mystery bounty reveal and the TV text size.
• Seating uses the TV's table cards, so a 10-seat table with nine players reads 9/10 with its open seat shown. Next Break reads "—" when no break is coming, and an empty Pay Out panel says "Payouts pending".
• The audience HUD shows nothing meant for the operator: no Controller pill, and no "Blinds up" or "Player busted out" pop-ups covering the chip strip.
• Open HUD display asks which screen to use (an HDMI TV or projector, or an AirPlay or Miracast screen set to Extend) and opens there full screen. If that screen is unplugged, the HUD comes back and tells you. Esc leaves full screen.
• At larger TV text sizes nothing on the HUD is cut off; a panel shrinks its text to fit, as on the TV.
• The HUD shows up in your Displays list like any TV, stays connected there, and can be renamed or switched between HUD and seating. A HUD that can't load the tournament tries again, then offers Try again and Close Window instead of loading forever.

Sandboxes

• An ended sandbox's results stay on that sandbox. If a new sandbox is launched for you from another device, the controller moves to it, and leaving or discarding the old results can no longer delete the new one.
• When the controller switches to a tournament that has already ended, it shows that tournament's results instead of "Loading tournament…".
• A practice sandbox starts its first level by itself 15 minutes after launch, and launching one tells you when a Pro feature such as Bounty was left off.

Blind structures keep their antes

• New blind structures climb sensibly to the end and keep their antes. A percentage ante no longer drops back to the smallest chip partway through, the last levels stay inside the chips in play, and the small blind is always below the big blind. Slower, Default and Faster still set the pace. Saved structures are unchanged.
• Turning Antes off and back on brings back Match Small Blind instead of a blank 0% rule.
• You can rename a saved structure from Update existing. Regenerate asks to save only after you have edited levels by hand, and deleting a saved structure asks first.

Running the room

• A tournament launched ahead of its start with no minimum players now starts by itself at its time while the Tournament Controller is open. Until then the clock counts down "Starts in", the clock button reads Armed with Start clock now or Hold clock, and the HUD counts down too.
• A launched game that hasn't started reads "Waiting to start" on the Dashboard and the controller, not LIVE NOW or Paused.
• Running more than one tournament? The Tournament page lists every live game under Live now, and ending one no longer drops you out of another.
• Skip ahead and Previous level keep the clock running (or paused) instead of stopping it.
• The blind clock stays on time when the controller is covered or minimized, and a manager's controller keeps the clock going when the host's computer is closed.
• Late registration set in minutes now closes on time, counted from when play started, and its banner waits until play starts.
• Seat pop-ups name the table and seat, and moving the same player twice in quick succession shows both moves.
• You can renumber a table from Configure Table. Players stay in their seats and any TV showing that table follows it.
• A player added as "Bought in: No" is checked in, not in play, until they buy in.
• After you end a tournament its summary stays up, says "Archiving…" while the results save, and shows the real length and the levels you actually played. A tournament you hosted but didn't play shows you as Host, and no longer counts as one you played on your profile.

Setup

• Loading a preset replaces the whole setup, Discard & load really discards your edits, and unsaved edits survive a trip to Hawk Academy.
• After you schedule or launch, Setup no longer offers the same tournament back as a draft, and Modify In Setup shows what is saved.
• A new setup opens calmly, with an amber "to finish" list and no warnings in sections you haven't touched. Tabs turn green once they're good, and a table plan bigger than your plan allows is just one item in the "Before you can launch" list.
• Launch confirmations say what will happen: no start time set, a start time that has already passed (with Change start time), or a game that holds until you press Start.
• Switching Rebuy, Add-on or Bounty off really turns it off, even with a price left in. A Basic host loading a Pro preset isn't asked for a bounty amount and is told Bounty was left off.
• A percentage payout table launches with the money actually collected as its prize pool, and currencies without cents, such as yen, stay in whole units.
• Guides get out of the way: the pointer no longer covers the control it points at, the controller stops above the guide's progress pill, and a checklist opens by itself at most once a session. "Your first game" counts the same four steps as the Home card and ticks them when it should.
• Clearer wording throughout: "Level length (minutes)", "No rule", "N tables × M seats", "Save as preset", "Open controls", See plans buttons on Pro locks, and named switches for screen readers.

Plans, help and displays

• Upgrading from the desktop app works again; every upgrade button had been refused. If your session has expired, you're asked to sign in again.
• If you already pay for Pro or Elite, starting to host takes you straight in.
• Theme purchases always give you the theme you chose, and checkout only ever returns you to Poker Hawk. Upgrade prompts no longer promise premium themes or features you already have.
• New Ideas board in Help & Feedback: vote on what we build next, post your own idea, and see what became of each one.
• After a week and at least one tournament, the Dashboard asks "Are you liking Poker Hawk?", at most once every 60 days and never over the Tournament Controller. Pop-ups like What's New now take turns.
• In the Displays tab, Single Table waits for you to pick a table, Clear puts the view back, and How to connect lists Google TV.
• A club's Tournaments tab shows only that club's games, and activating a scheduled tournament keeps the join code players already have.
• Security update: the app's built-in browser engine is updated, fixing four high-severity vulnerabilities.

NEW: LEAGUES

Form a league from the club menu, the League tab, or right after you create a club. Setup walks you through one decision at a time, in plain words, with an example of the points a 10-player night would award and a review before anything is saved. A league can start its next season on a schedule, a closed season shows its champion and final table, and a season's minimum nights and qualifying cut now apply to the standings on your phone. The club's Leagues & Stats tab is now two tabs: Stats & Standings, and League.

Achievements and accolades

Your profile has new galleries. Achievements are grouped into families, with each family's tiers side by side and a detail sheet showing what you have and what the next tier takes. Accolades are honours such as Founder, season champion and "You asked, we built it", each with the dates you earned it. Badges and dates you already earned are kept.

Founder program

Founders get a Founder badge on their profile and a small gold F beside their name in club and tournament lists. Founder pricing now belongs to your account: an account created during the founder era keeps it on Pro and Elite for good, even if you cancel and come back. Everyone gets a notice 30 days before the founder era closes. A new Ideas board in Support lets you post an idea, vote, and see what became of every one.

Tournament setup and live play

• Suggest a chip set for your starting stack, as the desktop app does. • Pro: load and save blind templates on the Blinds step, and rename them. • New blind structures climb sensibly to the end and keep their antes. • Running more than one game? The Tournament tab lists every one under Live now. • A tournament launched early with no minimum players counts down and starts itself at the scheduled time. • A manager's phone keeps the clock running when the host's device is closed. • Hosts can renumber a table without moving anyone. • Seat messages name the table and seat.

CLUBS

• Club details, roles and join settings are now owner-only; staff see them read-only. • Handing a club over asks you to confirm, and you stay on as a director. • New Check-in door role permission for running the check-in kiosk. • Club Records, the money panel and the leaderboard show real numbers. • Archived seasons can be restored. • Search ignores accents and finds clubs by tag, and a club's exact address is now visible only to its members. • Joining, invite codes and join requests explain themselves clearly.

FIXED

• Removing a member on iPhone no longer freezes the app. • Deleting a club on iPhone works again. • Club comments show up again. • A rejected post stays hidden instead of being published. • Add Player works when a tournament charges a membership fee. • Every tournament scheduled from a preset gets its own join code. • Editing a scheduled tournament keeps its currency, rake and display look. • Late registration by minutes closes on time. • Moving levels by hand no longer shows the wrong level after a break. • The end-of-game summary shows results instead of "no access". • Confirmation prompts on iPhone appear again in the live room. • Tournament names are no longer autocorrected. • Profile stats no longer count nights you only hosted.

Also: "Are you liking Poker Hawk?" replaces the rating popup, Sign out asks first, guides stay clear of tab bars and buttons, and Hawk Academy is in the menu.

Any screen in the room can now show the live display without an account. Open hud.pokerhawk.io, enter the tournament's join code, and the screen shows the real player counts, payouts and chip strip. It used to ask the screen to sign in, and a screen signed in as someone other than the host saw "Access denied".

A smart TV's own browser is now recognised as a TV and laid out as one, with nothing to add to the address. A signed-in TV shows up in your Displays list as a Samsung TV or LG TV rather than "Web". A TV whose browser is too old to run the display, which includes most Samsung and LG TVs from before 2025, now says so plainly and suggests the desktop app over HDMI or the Fire TV / Google TV app, instead of showing a broken page.

The display now looks like the Android TV app: the same panels and sizes, chip pictures in the chip strip (most chip sets showed broken images before), the elapsed time in hours, minutes and seconds, and "PAUSED" with a red clock when the clock is paused. The corner of the header shows the join code while players can still buy in, and "Registration closed" after that. A mystery bounty draw plays the full reveal, the envelope and then the amount. Seating shows each table's real seat count, so a 10-seat table with nine players reads 9/10 with the open seat marked. Next Break reads in minutes and seconds, or hours from an hour out, and shows "—" when no break is left; an empty Pay Out panel says "Payouts pending". The "On the Bubble" strip above the clock is gone, and the bubble shows in the Pay Out panel, as on the TV.

The TV text size now scales the clock, the blinds and the counts, not only the labels. At 130% and up nothing gets cut off: the next blinds stay on the clock panel, and the Players, Chips and Pay Out panels keep their last lines.

A tournament armed for its scheduled start counts down to the start on screen instead of running the first level early, and stays quiet until play begins. During a break, Next Break reads "—" while a chip-up is still to come.

When a tournament or a practice sandbox ends, the screen uses the TV app's words: "Tournament ended" or "Sandbox ended", with the final results below. A screen joined by code moves to the results when a sandbox ends and names the winner and every place. A screen with nobody signed in no longer promises to join the host's next tournament on its own, because it cannot.

Also: the sign-in QR code is drawn on the screen itself rather than fetched from an outside service, so the pairing link inside it stays private. Setup calls a screen a "Table TV" or a "General display", the same words the TV app and the host apps use.

The Founder Program has a page of its own, and the promise is the same everywhere it appears: founder pricing belongs to your account. Every Poker Hawk account created during the founder era keeps founder prices on Pro and Elite for good — when you change plans, and even if you cancel and come back later. Playing is always free. The page shows where the founder era stands and a roadmap you can open phase by phase. The old Early Access page now leads there.

Checkout, plan changes and re-subscribing all follow that promise, because the founder price is decided by when your account was created. When the founder era's close is set, a notice gives 30 days' warning with the date. Founders can choose, in their account preferences, to be thanked by first name and last initial on a founders wall that appears when the era closes. It is off unless you turn it on. Founder accounts also carry a Founder badge beside their name on the account page.

The new Ideas board is where you tell us what to build. Anyone can read it; with an account you can post an idea and vote for others. Every idea gets an answer, your own ideas and their status sit under Your ideas in My Requests, and everyone who asked for something hears when it ships.

Your account now has Achievements and Accolades pages. Achievements come in six families, each a ladder of tiers, with your progress on the account page and your favorites featured on your profile card. Accolades are awarded by Poker Hawk for being a founder, winning a club season or suggesting an idea that shipped, and repeat awards keep a dated history. Badges you had already earned keep their original dates.

Premium theme purchases now unlock exactly the theme you paid for, and checkout always brings you back to Poker Hawk. Update payment and Billing history open only for the signed-in account they belong to. Upgrading from the desktop app, which had been failing, works with desktop 1.29.0.

The homepage is rebuilt around exploring what Poker Hawk does. "One tournament. Every screen." shows the same night on a phone, a computer and a TV. An interactive walkthrough takes you through pregame, the tournament clock, player management, themes and results, with sample controls you can try. The old quiz is now a Player, Staff or Host workspace where you can try seating, check-in, the clock, payouts and results for your role. A feature guide covers twelve feature areas, the Host examples let you try hand-for-hand, a decision clock and ICM versus chip-chop payouts, and a side-by-side comparison lets you pick a competitor and compare devices, players, hosting, clubs and cost. Everything in the demos is sample-only.

Pricing shows all three plans with expandable details, a comparison that can show only the differences, and a finder for how many tables you need. Plan descriptions are corrected: personal stats are free, Elite has the same tools as Pro and supports up to 25 tables, and premium themes are bought on their own rather than included in a plan. Prices are unchanged.

Downloads, compatible devices, tools, Hawk Academy, support and updates match the new look and read better on phones. Common questions is a plain list of twelve answers, player reviews scroll with a position bar, the footer is simpler with a permanent Founder Program link, and legal pages are easier to read. The updates page no longer mixes up iOS and Android releases that share a version number.

The compatible devices page now says which screens can show the live display in a browser — a laptop or mini-PC on the TV, a tablet, or a smart TV from about 2025 on — with no account needed on them. The FAQ explains how to get the clock on a TV, and the free tournament software page says a free display shows a small "Powered by Poker Hawk" badge that any paid plan removes.

Also: checking in on the website is no longer closed by a late-registration cutoff before the tournament has started when the host started the clock's countdown early. Check-in shows a table's current number after a host renumbers it. A support request filed on the website gets one confirmation email with its reference, not two with different numbers. The site icon in browser tabs, bookmarks, Google results and on a phone's home screen is now the dark Poker Hawk app icon. Hawk Academy's articles on opening the audience display, buying a premium theme and creating a tournament now match the apps.

• A rejected club post stays out of the feed, and posting in a club that needs approval tells you your post is waiting.
• Joining is clearer: an invite code for a club you are already in says so and opens the club, an open club shows a short "Join" confirmation, and a request left pending when a club opens up turns into Join Club.
• Club search ignores accents, finds clubs by their tags, takes an invite code, and near me finds your area through Poker Hawk itself. Search no longer matches street addresses.
• Only a club's owner changes its details, roles and join settings; staff see them read-only, and a change that cannot be saved is put back and explained.
• Role cards and pickers show the club's own names for its roles, and your role updates on the dashboard as soon as it changes. A role with Remove Members can remove members, and a new Check-in door permission runs the kiosk on its own.
• Handing your club on keeps you as a director. Deleting a club lists what it removes, photos included, and asks for your password first.
• Removing a member explains what happens, and works offline without locking the dialog. Clubs you leave or lose no longer stay pinned in the sidebar.
• The money panel shows money as money and counts as counts. With no season running, Leagues leads with your all-time leaderboard. Archived seasons can be restored.
• Look-alike player-book records are told apart wherever you choose between them, and imports report only real problems.
• A private club's posts and standings have no public page, and Share is gone from private clubs.
• The feed keeps the first 500 characters of a long paste, results cards show how long the game really ran, and small photos are no longer stretched.
• Saving a preset closes the dialog, presets with custom payouts load with their payouts, and the preset list shows each preset's current version.
• Notifications sit bottom-right on a solid background with a close button.
• The Displays tab counts only screens that are connected, and labels every display "Table TV" or "General display".

NEW: GETTING TO YOUR FIRST GAME

Creating a club now opens a first-game screen: invite players by link, QR code or join code, schedule a game, or try a sandbox one. Until you've run a game, your dashboard shows a setup checklist.

Club invites you can edit

See your invite before you send it, and change its words. Staff who manage the invite code can edit the club's own message, and every invite after that opens with it.

FIXED

• A greyed-out Continue button on the Founder Program signup screen could strand you mid-signup. • Reporting a post or a profile photo now actually reaches moderation. • A club's join questions no longer disappear when the app reloads the club. • UK, Canadian and Irish postcode lookups work again. • The Android app icon no longer clips inside its launcher shape. • A club edited on one screen now shows live everywhere else in the app. • Join requests can carry a note, and asking again can say something new.

Also: times can show as 12- or 24-hour and follow you across devices, and date of birth is entered in your country's own order.

Guests can check in on the website again. Since late August, anyone who was not signed in got "Tournament not found" at the check-in page; the page now shows the tournament and the guest can check in.

A private club's content no longer has a public page. Links to its posts, its season standings and its standings embed show "unavailable", the same page a missing post shows, and work again if the club is made public.

A club invite link now previews as a club invitation with its own card, and still never names the club. A public season page shows the season's dates as the host set them.

"Use my location" on the Early Access form now finds your approximate area through Poker Hawk itself, not a third-party service.

• A join request can carry a note, and asking again can say something new.
• Guides and Hawk Academy are becoming one teaching system. This round ships the floor; more converts next round.

Under-the-hood maintenance only. Nothing changes on your screen.

The home page reads less and invites exploring. Below the hero, the carousel, "How Poker Hawk works for you" and the feature checklist each fill the screen on one dark background with a slow-drifting green, and the page ends on two clear choices: create a free account, or download the apps.

Pricing is easier to read, with bigger names and prices and the Yearly option showing what it saves. "Get the apps" leads with your own device's store button, and the download pages and store buttons now know the app is live in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

A host can now create their club on the website and invite people to it, without installing an app first. Store prices are set for the UK and Ireland too.

Asking to delete your account now reaches somebody, at /delete-account.

The Privacy Policy explains how to turn product analytics off in the mobile and desktop apps, and how long analytics data is kept.

A home page you explore instead of read

"How a night plays out." The section that listed what you get is now a carousel of one night with Poker Hawk, told in large pictures with a one-line title each. It turns on its own at a pace timed to the words, and you can pause it, jump to any slide, swipe, or use the arrow keys. More opens the full story of a slide in place. It stops turning while it is off screen.

"How Poker Hawk works for you" is now three short questions that end on your own night. Say whether you play, work the floor or run the games, then a little about your situation and what matters most to you. The answer is your night with Poker Hawk: three moments, each shown on the real screen that does it, and one next step that fits you. Only hosts are shown plans.

The top of the page opens on a different review each visit, with a link down to all of them.

The header gets out of the way. It is transparent at the top of the page and becomes a compact bar once you scroll, with a thin gold line along its bottom edge that fills as you go down the page.

The page moves as one piece. Every section shares one sense of timing, and sections no longer replay their entrance each time you scroll back past them.

Your data

Deleting your account now deletes your analytics data too. When you delete your Poker Hawk account, we also ask Google Analytics to delete the usage events recorded under it. It happens after the account itself is gone and never holds up the deletion.

A correction

Some pictures on the home page showed app screens that had been invented. Every picture on the page is now a real capture of the current apps.

What's new

You can start a club on the website now. If you sign up to host, you can create your club straight from pokerhawk.io — no app, no download first. Once it exists you get the same four first-game steps the apps show, ticked off as you go, so the website and your phone always agree about what is left to do.

Your invite, ready to share from the web. The link, the join code and a QR code somebody across the table can scan, all on one page.

Two of the four steps still need the app, and we say so rather than pretending otherwise: scheduling a game and running one happen in the tournament setup and the live clock, which only exist in the apps.

Easier to read, easier to use

The home page stops saying everything at once. "How it works" and the feature cards now open when you want them — the detail is one tap away instead of all on screen at the same time. Nothing was removed.

The comparison table fits on a phone. It used to be a wide table you had to swipe sideways through. On a phone it now shows Poker Hawk against one competitor you choose, and the full table is still there on a larger screen.

Choosing between "I play" and "I host" works from the keyboard, and the selected one is no longer shown by colour alone — so it is readable if colours are hard to tell apart.

Less movement. An animation that ignored the "reduce motion" setting on your device has been removed.

A claim we have removed

We used to say the room stays in sync "even in areas with poor Wi-Fi". We have taken that out, because it was not true of what we actually ship. The host's clock keeps running on their own machine and devices catch up when the connection allows — but we do not have a story for a genuinely bad connection, and we should not have implied that we did.

You do not need to do anything, and nothing about your account changes.

This update makes opening the app after you have closed it behave the way it should.

Opening the app

• Your clubs are there when the dashboard appears. Before, a cold start could open onto an empty club list until you pulled down to refresh. • The Face ID or fingerprint prompt appears once and stays, instead of flashing up and disappearing on its own. • The app waits a moment for your profile and clubs before it opens — never more than a few seconds, even on a slow connection or in airplane mode.

These fixes already reached most devices automatically. This version builds them in, so a fresh install gets them straight away.

This update fixes clubs that could get stuck loading.

• Fixed: after closing the app completely and opening it again, your clubs could stay stuck loading until you pulled to refresh. They now load on their own, and the app tries again straight away whenever you come back to it.

This update brings your club's leagues and stats together, and gives a season a life of its own.

Leagues and stats, one tab

The club tab is three sections now — Overview, Stats and Leagues. Overview opens with who is winning and a brief of both halves. Stats holds the quarter, year and all-time leaderboard with your club's lifetime record under it. Leagues holds seasons and nothing else: their rules, their own figures and their standings.

A season of its own

Seasons now report their own money and their own numbers — prize pool, buy-ins and rake for the tournaments inside the season's dates, plus events, players, average ranked field and in-the-money rate. Club totals underneath are labelled all-time, because they do not follow the season you picked.

A closed season keeps its table

Final standings are recorded when a season closes. A closed season used to keep showing the live table, which a later result correction could reorder underneath the champion's name.

More ways to score

League formulas can use six more figures: your own knockouts and rebuys, the field's rebuys and add-ons, the rake and the bounties. Knockouts and your own rebuys are recorded from 5 September onward, so earlier events score zero on those two. A league can also make an exception for one night — count an event double, or not at all.

Members, not people

The club roster is called Members again and reads like one: collapsible headings for Owners, Directors, Dealers, Members and any role your club invented, with everyone else under Players. It also spots when one person is in your list twice, and lets you compare the two records side by side before deciding. Nothing is ever merged for you.

The review queue works

Join requests and posts waiting on you now reach you on a cold launch, the badge counts everything rather than the first twenty, and a host can actually clear the queue.

• Fixed: the "+ Season" button did nothing — it now opens the season editor. • Fixed: the Standings tab drew two identical rows of chips. • The club roster has faces again.

What's new

Leagues and stats are one tab now. The club tab is three sections — Overview, Stats and Leagues. Overview opens with who is winning and a brief of both halves. Stats holds the quarter, year and all-time leaderboard with the club's lifetime record under it. Leagues holds seasons and nothing else: their rules, their own figures and their standings. The rolling windows and the seasons used to share one row of chips despite being quite different things, which made the tab long and the row confusing.

A season reports its own money and its own numbers. Prize pool, buy-ins and rake for the tournaments inside a season's dates, shown to club managers on a paid plan — the same people who see the club's lifetime financials. Pick a season and you also get its events, players, average ranked field and in-the-money rate. The club totals underneath are now labelled all-time, because they do not follow the selection above them and used to look as though they did.

A closed season keeps the table it finished with. The final standings are recorded when a season closes. Until now nothing displayed them, so a closed season kept showing the live table — which a later result correction could reorder underneath the champion's name.

A league can make an exception for one night. Mark a single event to count double, or not to count at all. An excluded event leaves the season completely: its points, its place in everyone's event count, and its money.

League scoring formulas can use six more figures — a player's own knockouts and rebuys, the field's rebuys and add-ons, the rake and the bounties. So "ten points a knockout, but only if you cashed" is now something you can write. Knockouts and a player's own rebuys are recorded from 5 September onward, so events already in the books score zero on those two; worth knowing before adding one to a season that is already running.

The formula editor says which figures are a player's and which are the room's. The variable list is grouped rather than a run of twelve names, the two figures recorded only from 5 September are marked, and typing something the preview cannot work out now says so instead of quietly drawing a column of zeros that looks like a broken formula.

The club roster is called Members again, and it reads like a roster. People group under collapsible headings — Owners, Directors, Dealers, Members, then any role your club invented — each carrying that role's colour and a count, with everyone who is not a member gathered under Players at the bottom. A member's row is just their name now; the role and the "MEMBER" tag came off, because the heading above already says both. Searching still finds people inside sections you have collapsed.

The club spots when one person is in your list twice. If somebody joined the club and also has a player-book record under the same name, their record sits under their name with Compare records, Link them and Not the same person. Compare puts the two side by side — earlier names, when each was created, results — so it is a decision rather than a guess. Nothing is ever merged for you, and telling it they are different people is remembered.

Fixed

• Starting a season from the club standings chip row now opens the editor. The modal was opened and the draft keeping its component mounted was cleared in the same breath, so it never appeared.
• What's New carries the club work, and both editions stopped calling the club roster the "People tab".

The club feed is a real feed now, and seasons finish properly.

A feed you can talk on

• Reply to a comment. Replies sit under the comment they answer, so a busy post stays readable. • Edit or delete your own post, and delete a comment you wrote. An edited post says it was edited. • Five reactions — Like, Love, Haha, Wow and Fire. Tap for a like, hold for the rest. • The @ picker works in comments, and mentions show as names. • A club can pin one post to the top of its feed, so the club rule or the next game date stops scrolling away.

Seasons and standings

• One Standings tab, with seasons first. • Closing a season fixes the champion in place instead of leaving the table moving. • Start a season from a window of results you already have.

A simpler bottom bar

• Discover is gone — it was a "coming soon" page taking a fifth of the bar. Club search does the same job, better, one level down. • Tourney is in the centre, and Stats is back.

Clubs that behave

• Only the club owner can be the club owner. Anyone who could manage members could previously grant real ownership in one click. • A club left with a stray second owner can be repaired in the app. • Photo posts to a club feed work again. • You can change how your club describes itself after creating it. • A role allowed to edit the club can open Club Settings on a phone. • Save a blind structure preset to your club from your phone. • Someone who is not in a club is no longer told they are a member of it.

FIXES • Leaving a club you own waits until it knows who else is in it before offering to delete it. • A post over the length limit keeps what fits and says how much was left out, instead of vanishing. • New accounts no longer show "Bust Rate 0%", which read as never having busted rather than never having played. • The Post button is no longer clipped, and the edit and delete rows look like buttons. • Club Settings opens reliably. • A club's Tournaments tab shows only that club's tournaments. • Merging player records shows one message instead of two stacked alerts. • Role summaries no longer show "Tournaments" and "Tournament" one letter apart.

What's new

Every window in the app now fits on your screen. Windows used to draw their own frames, and any one of them could forget to cap its height — so the New Season form ran off the top and bottom with Cancel and Create out of reach, and Set Tournament Address rendered 766px tall on a 668px screen with both buttons off the edge. Around thirty windows now share a single frame that cannot forget: capped to the screen, contents scrolling, title and buttons staying put. That includes importing players and results, correcting a finished tournament, merging player records, linking a record to an account, the blind-structure templates, the guided tour and the billing prompts.

The club feed grew up. You can edit and delete your own posts, delete a comment you wrote, and reply to a comment — one level deep, so a busy post stays readable. The @ picker works in comments now, and mentions render as names. Posts take five reactions: Like, Love, Haha, Wow and Fire. And a club can pin one post to the top of its feed, so the club rule or the date of the next game stops scrolling away.

Seasons. Seasons come first in the Standings tab, closing a season asks inside the app rather than in a system dialog that froze the tournament clock behind it, and a club leaderboard now names which period is empty instead of telling a host with twelve archived tournaments to go and play some.

Two things that were quietly wrong. Only the club owner can be the club owner — anyone who could manage members, including someone whose only permission was sharing the invite code, could grant real ownership in one unwarned click. And a club member could delete or rewrite somebody else's post, including un-hiding content a moderator had removed. Both are closed, and a club left with a stray second owner can now be repaired from inside the app.

Also: photo posts to a club feed work again, you can change how your club describes itself after creating it, a linked player record says which account it is linked to, the merge dialog stops saying "Grace Hopper becomes Grace Hopper", the invite panel no longer offers to share a code that does not exist, opening a finished tournament's snapshot no longer crashes, someone who is not in a club is no longer told they are a member of it, and the blind structure generator's schedule is editable.

Your clubs now load on their own after an update. They could stay empty on the first launch until you opened the clubs screen and refreshed a few times.

The "what's new" panels now render properly and match the rest of the app. They were collapsing to a bare header with the button jammed under the drag handle, and the slides were missing their icons.

One list of people, and clubs that behave.

Members and Players are now a single tab called People. A club used to keep two lists of the same people with nothing to say how they related, so somebody who had joined and also been checked in at the door appeared twice. Every row now says whether it is a member, a player linked to an account, or a player with no account.

Joining clubs is unlimited on every plan. The free tier used to cap you at two, so playing in a third club meant paying — even though joining a club is not a hosting feature.

Clubs discovery and invites are fixed throughout. Searching by ZIP code works again. A new club has its invite code straight away, so a private club can be joined the moment it exists. A mistyped code no longer offers to join you to somebody else's club. Club discovery stops claiming every club has no upcoming events, and the "next tournament" line shows a real date.

Roles are safer and clearer. "Owner" is no longer offered when changing somebody's role — it granted owner-level rights on one unwarned click. Club Settings shows your real role, and approving or rejecting a join request explains itself.

Also: club filters remember what you picked, the Near Me distance filter works reliably, member counts stop drifting below the real roster, the delete-club screen has a working way out, and an error overlay no longer appears during normal use and swallows your taps.

Opening a club now shows what changed in clubs as a sheet you can swipe away, and if you have missed several updates you see each one dated and newest first rather than one list where old news looks like today's.

A security fix. Live tournament data shown on the room display is now read with the same access checks the rest of Poker Hawk uses.

Joining a display by code is faster and more reliable, the money coverage figure on the display now compares like with like, and a corrected tournament result is reflected on the screens that show it.

This update corrects what the television was drawing, and removes one number that had been telling the room something untrue.

Version 1.7.2 was built but never reached the store, so everything from that release is in this one too.

The seat map

• The seating view no longer prints a chip number beside each player's name. It looked like the player's stack and it was not one. Poker Hawk does not track what a player has in front of them — that figure was the chips issued to the entry, the starting stack plus any rebuys and add-ons, so it never moved when a pot was won or lost, and two players who bought in the same way showed the same number all night. A player reading their own seat on the big screen had no way to know that. The seat row now shows the seat number, the name, the dealer button and the status dot, the same as the browser display. Chips In Play and Average Stack are unaffected — those are labelled totals for the whole room, and they are the honest use of the same number. • A seated player's name no longer reads "Player" when the rest of the app knows who they are. The television was taking a placeholder at face value, so the same seat could show "Player" on the TV and the person's actual name on the room's web display. • A name too long for its seat is cut cleanly and ends in an ellipsis, instead of stopping halfway through a letter and looking like the screen had failed to draw.

The money panels

• Adding a bubble payout no longer stands the prize money on its end. Widening a row's label from "4th" to "4th (Bubble)" left the amount less room than it needed, and the number broke into a vertical stack, one character per line. The amount now keeps its own width and never wraps; the label is what shortens. • The Players panel's buy-in, rebuy and add-on rows are bounded the same way. At the larger TV Text Size settings a three-digit rebuy count beside a long amount could overrun the row. The count gives way there; the money does not.

The room's numbers

• The average stack goes up as players bust out, instead of drifting further from the truth as the night goes on. • Every screen agrees on how many players are in the room and how many are still waiting. • A tournament that has been opened but not yet started no longer paints the screen red and announces PAUSED. Only a tournament whose clock has actually run and been stopped shows that now.

The screen itself

• One press of OK opens a tournament again. On the landing screen every card and button — a tournament, Join Different Tournament, Sign Out, the sign-in tabs, the code keypad — needed OK pressed twice, and the first press made the highlight vanish, so it read as a dead remote. • The "Powered by Poker Hawk" badge no longer sits on top of the chips. On a free plan it is drawn in the bottom-right corner of the screen, directly over the last chip denomination in the bottom strip and over the bottom row of both seating views. The live view leaves that strip free. • The waiting screens no longer print the tournament's internal id to the room. The television used to print twenty characters of database key that nobody can do anything with. Both waiting lines now read the same as the browser display in the same state. • Applying a theme from your phone no longer resets the television's text size. Text size is a TV-only setting, and sending a theme from the phone used to wipe whatever size you had set for the back of the room.

Worth updating for

• Poker Hawk now limits who can change what a screen is showing to the tournament's host, their staff, and the account the screen itself is signed in to. A television still running an older version keeps showing the tournament — nothing goes dark — but it stops reporting in, and Change View, Mark offline and table assignments no longer reach it. A television paired for the first time on an older version will not appear in the host's display list at all. Updating restores the screen on its own, with nothing to reconfigure.

A payout amount can no longer be squeezed by the label in front of it

Measured from 1024 to 1920 pixels wide, the browser display never actually broke a prize amount apart the way the television did — a place label wraps to a second line before that can happen. That held by accident rather than by decision, so the amount is now marked outright as the half that never wraps and never shrinks, whatever a place label grows into. Add a bubble, pay a long list of places, run a big prize pool: the money keeps its shape and the label is what gives way.

Small labels are readable

Panel headers, captions and the smallest uppercase text on the display were drawn in a grey that fell below the readable contrast threshold — the smallest type on the screen doing its work in the faintest tone available. All of it now uses the app's ordinary secondary grey, which reads comfortably on every surface the display paints. Nothing else about the layout moved.

Pairing and break screens

• A Google TV is told to press OK, not Enter. The pairing screen had its own name for the Play Store television while the television used a different one, so somebody holding a remote across the room was given the keyboard instruction. The same mismatch meant a Google TV was not always recognised as a television at all.
• The full-screen break banner shows the real number of minutes. It had been printing the placeholder from the message template while the timer panel underneath it showed the correct figure.
• A browser display now records when it joined, so the host's list of screens can order them by when they arrived. Screens set up before this release repair themselves the next time the page is opened.
• The pairing code on screen is now single-use. A display asks the server for a one-time code that expires after fifteen minutes and stops working the moment it is used, so a code photographed off a screen is no longer worth anything. Pairing is unchanged to use.

Also in this release

• A tournament that has been launched but not started no longer paints its panels red and puts PAUSED across the top. Only a tournament whose clock has actually run and been stopped shows that now.

A browser display now shows the real tournament

Opening the HUD in a browser could land you on an empty tournament rather than the one you are running. It now resolves the tournament the same way every other display does, and a browser display is identified as a display in its own right rather than as the account that opened it.

The space bar says why the clock did not start

Pressing the space bar on the HUD machine used to do nothing at all when the clock was refused, with no explanation. It now tells you why, and lets the host overrule the minimum-player rule when they mean to.

Joining and pairing

• A wrong join code says so on the screen, right next to the code, instead of failing silently.
• Displays now record which account paired them. Nothing looks different today; it is groundwork for limiting who can change what a screen is showing to the host, their staff, and the displays they actually paired.

Reading the room

• Names in the all-tables seating view read "First L." instead of being cut off mid-name.
• The buy-in on the players panel is the buy-in again.
• The dashboard's start times and ordering follow the tournament's own time zone rather than the machine's.
• The average stack goes up as players bust out, and every screen agrees on how many players are in the room.

Also fixed

• The HUD clock no longer risks going blank the moment tournament data arrives.
• Opening a browser display no longer announces a blinds-up that never happened.

A small maintenance release. There is nothing new to use, and nothing about setting up, pairing or running a HUD display has changed.

The apps now agree on how a scheduled tournament's start time is stored, and the HUD dashboard picks that up: a tournament scheduled in a different time zone shows the start the host actually chose, and sits in the right place in the upcoming list. Separately, the clock screen was rebuilt slightly so that it cannot go blank in the moment tournament data arrives — a risk rather than something you were likely to have seen.

A single fix, shipped from the shared account layer.

Signing in to the HUD could reset your account's join date. The HUD runs the same sign-in path as the rest of the apps, and that path has a repair step for accounts whose details have been cleared — the repair was stamping the account as created today. That date drives founder pricing eligibility, your dashboard greeting, and how we count new signups, and once overwritten it cannot be recovered from the account record.

Four accounts were affected before it was caught. The repair now carries the stored date forward, and founder eligibility is judged as of when the account was actually created rather than when the repair ran.

Nothing about setting up or operating a HUD display has changed.
