Another question.

How useful would a chat/instant messaging feature be in an app like this?
 
Fair enough, I'm thinking about getting rid of it. It'll certainly make maintaining the app cheaper.
 
Quick one for the Hosts/Club owners - Might an app like this make more sense if it were available on web browser? That way it would be accessible on a computer/laptop.

Quick Update

Building on this idea, I’ve been developing a browser-based version of the app tailored for Club admins / hosts. This web platform will allow administrators to carry out all the same functions currently available in the mobile app. The goal is for the web app to serve as a complementary tool to the mobile app, enhancing and simplifying club management. Below are some initial screenshots for reference.

The dashboard will become available for review and testing sometime after the next update to the mobile app. As always I welcome any and all feedback.
Thanks in advance!
 
Hi All,

I hope all is well. I'm just checking in to give you all a brief update on where I'm at with on-going developments.

Mobile App
The next update is will under development. I hope to have a release date shortly.

Web-App
Development of the club management dashboard is well underway. Most of the required screens have been created and I'm currently in the middle of performing tests to ensure everything works as expected.

I've attached a few sample images to this post.

Mobile App Development
The app is still in the works. I had planned to release the new version this weekend, but some unexpected issues have delayed that. We're now aiming for next week.

Club Admin Dashboard
Things are progressing nicely on this front! For those who aren’t aware, I’ve decided to create a web-based dashboard for club admins. This will allow admins to perform all the tasks currently available in the app, plus a few new features, more details to be provided soon.

I hope to have the beta version of the dashboard available for testing within the next couple of week.

Adding players to an upcoming event
 
New Build - Payout Cards

Hi All, I hope all is well.

The new build of the mobile app is on route. I hope to make it available for download between now and Tuesday.

Here is what to expect:
  • App no longer requires access to your contacts list.
  • Adding new club members - Send club invitations using email addresses. Recipients with no club.pkr account will receive notification of the club invite via email.
  • Player Payout Cards - Keep track of player buy-in to determine how much a player is owed or owes following the completion of a cash or tournament event.
  • Payout Report Card - Review summary of all Player Payout Cards. This screen is only available for admins and those who took part in the related event.
  • Complete Events - Manually mark an event as complete.
  • Tournament Events - Blinds and Breaks are now optional. These attributes will be removed at a later date
Known Bugs:
  • Some field names and descriptions need to be corrected
  • Event date and times are sometimes stored incorrectly
  • Still need to invite at least one new member when creating a club.

club.pkr | PRO
club.pkr | PRO is the web-based version of the mobile app. Exclusive to club admins and hosts, the Pro version of the app delivers a more streamlined user experience, along with additional features not available in the mobile app. A detailed breakdown of these features will be unveiled at a later date.

Nice initiative @club_pkr :)
3 questions :
Is this available in the Apple Store ?
Is this available in Europe ?
If so with European date format option ?

Hi and thanks.

Yes, to the first two questions. I can certainly look into the third question.
 
Ok first feedback @club_pkr, why do you need full access to my contact to create a new Club ?
You should definitely consider an option to directly create the club members in your app…

This is no longer a requirement in the new/upcoming version.
 
No worries. I appreciate the feedback regardless.

I'm going to deactivate the links for now
 
Hi Dan,

I haven't yet started testing everything you've already supported in your project, but here's a summary of what I'm currently using.

Being able to have all these features in one place might make me decide to pay for your application.


1- Game creation and invitations

For Cash Game and Tournament :

I use the excellent tool provided for free here by Al Azouri, invit tracker, to define my upcoming game and launch e-mail invitations from my list of players (the list can be managed by disabling certain players temporarily absent, by grouping players into different sub-lists...).

My players can register directly from the e-mail and choose between different statuses, and can follow the status of all potential players. The waitlist is automatically managed based on threshold (max capacity of players) with the order of registration, so that I can draw on it for priority players in the event of cancellation of players already registered.

I can also use this tool to send reminder, confirmation and cancellation emails...

I can add my club logo to e-mails and the dashboard.


2- During the game

Cash Game :
the seat draw is chosen the old-fashioned way, by drawing a playing card
I use a personal Excel file in which I indicate the position of the players at the table, the buyin, the rebuys and the balance of each player, with a check on the total amount to make sure I'm right. from here the payouts are defined.

Tournament:
I use the free version of blindvalet in web mode on a computer visible to the players.
The game, blinds, players, seat draw, buy-ins, rebuys, eliminations and prize pool are defined here.
Tournament progress is thus classically handled by the excellent blindvalet.

3-consolidation and annual reporting

I have another Excel file which summarizes all cash game and tournament play over the course of a year, giving the annual ranking of each player in the club and determining the player of the year who will receive the trophy (the one with the highest winnings) in cash games and tournaments separately.

I'd also like to be able to follow the bounties, have the club logo and be able to customize a large part of the visual (possible in the paid version, but which I haven't bought because I don't organize enough tournaments for it to be interesting)

4-messaging app

We also use WhatsApp for all discussions at all times, both during and outside games, and we also post photos and videos.
(This part is a nice to have, we should keep WhatsApp in any case)
 
This part :
“I'd also like to be able to follow the bounties, have the club logo and be able to customize a large part of the visual (possible in the paid version, but which I haven't bought because I don't organize enough tournaments for it to be interesting)”
Goes in section 2- During the game / tournament sorry.

I'd like to take this opportunity to add that I don't want my players to have to install the app or register for the tool. Their experience should remain as simple as possible, and they should be able to easily take the expected actions or view shared information with a few clicks from their e-mail (considering that the chat part of the app is not in scope).
 
My players shouldn't need to install the app... unless you can show me the added value for them, of course ;)
 
Hi Fran,

Thank you for the summary.

1- Game creation and invitations
One of the app's key features is the ability to create and manage upcoming Cash and Tournament events. App users/club members receive event invitations directly within the app, where they can review event details prior to reserving a spot.

Based on recent feedback, the process was recently updated to allow hosts and admins to send invitations to guests (those without a club.pkr account).

2- During the game
Currently, the app allows users to input basic game information such as blinds, blind levels, and buy-in. These options may evolve based on user feedback. For instance, the option to set blind levels might be removed in the future. The primary focus right now is delivering the core features.

3-consolidation and annual reporting
This is certainly an area I plan to expand on in the future. So please continue to keep an eye on this thread, as I'll be reaching out to club hosts/event organisers for advice and recommendations.

4-messaging app
The app does currently feature a basic group messaging system, limited to sending and receiving text messages. This functionality may evolve or potentially be removed, depending on overall user reception and feedback. I hope the demand for it is high as I have a number of interesting ideas to run by you forum members.

I'll be taking part in the tests so that I can continue to give you accurate, honest feedback.

Hi All,

A quick update — I’m planning to release the next app update for download within the next couple of days, hopefully as soon as tomorrow if all goes well!

Please note that the database will be refreshed, so if you have a previous version installed, please uninstall it before installing the new update.

The club-pkr | PRO dashboard will go live (for review and testing) shortly after.
 
Another day, another update!

The last version of the app is now available download on Android. I hope to have the iOS version available soon.

Release Notes:

  • Enhancements:
    • Improved club member invitation system.
    • Updated app registration process.
  • The app no longer requires access to your contacts list.
  • General Improvements: Various bug fixes to enhance performance and user experience.

- During club creation, the process still requires sending at least one club invitation.
- On the Player Payout Card, the "Owed Amount" displays as 0.00 when the "In For" amount equals the "Out For" amount.
- Able to send multiple club invitations to the same recipient

As always, thanks in advance for testing and feedback.

G'day all.

I just wanted to let iOS users know that I haven't forgotten about them. I'm currently experiencing some issues with build. I'll have it released and available for testing ASAP.

On the plus-side, this has given me more time to work on club.pkr | PRO ! As previously mentioned, this will be made available for review and testing after the release of the latest iOS version.
 
Slight change of plan. club.pkr | PRO is now available -

Who is club.pkr | PRO for?
This platform is for club hosts and admins. Only those that have created clubs within the club.pkr app can review and manage clubs within club.pkr | PRO.

How do I access club.pkr | PRO?
* The platform is accessed via the www.club-pkr.com website. You'll notice a link in the top right corner of the page.
* Note - You need a club.pkr account to create a club.pkr | PRO account.

1741899216507.png


What can I currently do within club.pkr | PRO?
  • Review list of members
  • Review list of scheduled events (upcoming and past)
  • Update the status of scheduled events - Pending, Active, Complete
  • Add guest players to upcoming events
    • Platform will automatically send out invitation to guest(s)
    • Option add multiple guests to a session in one go - This is done by uploading a csv file containing the names and email addresses of all recipients
    • All guests players will receive an email containing a link to an event invitation screen. From there they'll be able to post their response - ACCEPT, DECLINE, MAYBE. Should a guest choose to accept an invite, they'll receive a calendar invite / reminder via email.
    • NOTE - Please register at least one player via the club.pkr app, prior to adding players from within club.pkr | PRO
Can I add new or remove existing club members?
No, this is still being worked on. You can still add members via the app.

Can I schedule or delete events?
No, this is still being worked on. You can still schedule new events via the app.

Over the coming days and weeks I plan to unlock more features, options and bug fixes, so please continue to keep an eye on this thread.

Regarding the iOS - I'm travelling this weekend so will have to put this on-hold until Sunday / Monday. Apologies for the wait.

The updated Android version is available for download.

As always I look-forward to receiving your feedback.

Hi All,

The iOS version of this build is now available for review and testing.

I have had to temporarily disable club.pkr | PRO. I hope to have it back up and running later on today.

Thanks again
