Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about EDGE Poker.

Getting Started

What is EDGE Poker?

EDGE is an all-in-one poker system for iOS. It combines session tracking, AI coaching, GTO training, a study hub, tournament timer, bankroll analytics, and a poker journal into one app. It replaces the 5+ separate apps most serious poker players use.

Is EDGE free?

Yes. Session tracking, analytics, tournament timer, study hub with flashcards, daily tips, hand logger, journal, and the tells reference library are all free. Premium ($4.99/month or $29.99/year) unlocks AI coaching, GTO Trainer, and player profiling with tells.

What makes EDGE different from other poker trackers?

Most poker apps do one thing. EDGE does everything. It has AI that actually coaches you based on your real data, a GTO trainer, a study system with streaks, a hand logger, and a tournament timer with Lock Screen support. No other app combines all of this. And it feels like a luxury tool, not a spreadsheet.

Do I need an account to use EDGE?

No. EDGE is local-first. All your data stays on your device. No accounts, no sign-up, no cloud required. Your data is backed up to iCloud automatically if you have it enabled.

Features

How does the AI coaching work?

EDGE has three AI features: Scouting Reports analyze your notes and tells on opponents to generate strategy. Pre-Session Briefings prep you before you sit down using your session history, journal, and logged hands. Journal Coaching responds to your specific journal entries with targeted advice. All AI runs through a secure cloud function and your data is not stored or used for training.

What is the GTO Trainer?

The GTO Trainer quizzes you on preflop decisions against optimal ranges. Pick a scenario (raise first in, facing an open, vs 3-bet, push/fold), a position, stack depth, and game type. The trainer shows you a hand and asks what you would do. It tracks your accuracy over time.

How does the hand logger work?

During a live session, tap to log a hand street-by-street. Record hero and villain actions, board cards, bet sizing, and the result. Logged hands feed into your AI Pre-Session Briefing so the AI can identify patterns in your play.

Can I use the tournament timer on my Lock Screen?

Yes. The tournament timer uses Apple's Live Activity and Dynamic Island to show blinds, level, ante, and countdown right on your Lock Screen while your phone is locked. No need to unlock your phone to check the clock.

What is the Study Hub?

268 flashcards across 12 poker categories and 3 difficulty levels. Flashcard mode and quiz mode. Track your daily study streak, earn milestone badges, and see your consistency on a GitHub-style activity heatmap. The Study Hub is completely free.

Can I import data from another poker app?

Yes. EDGE imports from Poker Income, Poker Analytics, Poker Bankroll Tracker, Bink, and Pokerbase. Go to Settings > Data Management > Import to get started.

Subscription

What does Premium include?

AI Scouting Reports, AI Pre-Session Briefings, AI Journal Coaching, GTO Trainer, GTO Preflop Charts, Player Profiling with 161 tells, and advanced analytics. Everything else is free.

Can I switch from monthly to annual?

Yes. Open the app, go to the paywall, and select the annual plan. Apple handles the switch automatically and applies any prorated credit from your current billing period.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Go to your iPhone Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions > EDGE Poker > Cancel. Your premium access continues until the end of your current billing period.

Troubleshooting

AI features are showing an error

AI features require an internet connection. If you're connected and still seeing errors, the service may be temporarily unavailable. Try again in a few minutes. If the issue persists, contact support at support@edgepoker.app.

My tournament timer is not showing on the Lock Screen

Make sure Live Activities are enabled: go to iPhone Settings > EDGE Poker > Live Activities and make sure it's turned on. Also check that you tapped "Lock Screen" in the tournament timer view to start the Live Activity.

How do I restore my data on a new device?

EDGE automatically backs up to iCloud. On your new device, install EDGE and it will prompt you to restore from iCloud. You can also manually export a JSON backup from Settings > Data Management > Export and import it on the new device.

The app is in the wrong language

Go to Settings in the app and change the language. EDGE supports 16 languages and switches instantly without restarting. The app defaults to your device language on first launch.

Privacy & Security

Where is my data stored?

All your data is stored locally on your device. Session history, journal entries, player profiles, and study progress never leave your phone. The only time data goes to a server is when you use an AI feature, and that data is processed in real-time and not stored.

Does EDGE collect any analytics or tracking data?

No. EDGE does not collect user analytics, usage data, or any personal information. We use Vercel Analytics on the website only (anonymous page views). The app itself collects nothing.

Is my AI data used for training?

No. AI features use Claude by Anthropic. Your data is sent for real-time processing only and is not retained or used for model training. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
