The Best Online Poker Apps

Everything from fitness to finance is all about tracking and metrics these days. Poker is no exception, and being able to analyze different aspects of your play is a +EV play, whatever way you slice it. Poker Income Tracker is one of the best ways to do this. The app allows players to track their profits, losses, playing time, results, and more. So monitor your money and work out where and when you are playing at your best.

The Poker Manager app is a handy app for tracking every aspect of your poker career. The app allows you to track your performance and monitors your total profits and loss, your tournament averages, your optimal playing locations, and more. The slick visuals certainly don’t hurt, either. There is a free version of the app and a premium version, which comes with a one-time purchase fee. The latter option is the way we recommend going, as the free version only allows for a limited number of entries. As far as we’re concerned, it’s a must for anyone serious about tracking their data.

Everyone has to start somewhere, and if you’re new to the game, the TOK Learn Poker App might be that place. Developed by Jelle Van den Eynde, who taught himself how to play poker through work, this app is aimed at new players with little to no poker background. Plenty of simple interactive elements in the game are used to help you learn, with the quizzes being a particular favorite of ours. While this app will not be for most of our readers, those who are new to poker or want to help a friend learn the basics should give this one a download.

If DOK is for beginners, then DTO is for those seriously looking to up their game. DTO Poker Trainer was developed by the professional poker player Dominik Nitsche. The app plays like a video game, throwing players into highly complex situations and teaching them everything they would need to know about GTO. In addition, the app provides performance analysis and is strongly recommended by a number of pro players. Of course, this level of poker wisdom does come at a cost. There are several pricing options for DTO, with the cheapest being $9.99 a month.

While it is not strictly a training app, Share My Pair is one of the best apps for interacting with other poker players and getting their feedback. As its name probably gives away, the app allows players to share their hands with friends and get feedback. What’s more, you can follow your favorite celebrities and poker players through the app and improve your own game in the process.

Anyone who has ever played poker on Facebook will have encountered Zynga Poker. Most games here are Texas Hold’Em, but you might find other variations available. The app can be downloaded and played on Android and iOS and is also available on Facebook.

Players looking for something with a fun, video-game-like vibe will enjoy the Governor of Poker series. There are currently three games in the series, each with unique selling points. If pushed, though, we’d back the third one as the best. During gameplay, you’ll travel around an animated Wild West as a cowboy poker player. You start as a total rookie and then–cards and luck willing–earn your way up to the bigger tables, with Vegas being the end-game. The game can be an entertaining way of playing Texas Hold’Em and honing your skills with no real-world risk involved. It also lets players jazz up their characters with in-game purchases and compete against others in online tournaments.
