Getting Started
What is PokerLog?

Is PokerLog free?
Yes. Free forever: unlimited cash game sessions, logging and editing past sessions, bankroll tracking, every stat and chart, cloud backup and sync with your account, the Home Game Ledger, session plans and check-ins, CSV import (including Poker Bankroll Tracker and Pokerbase exports) and export, 360+ pre-loaded poker rooms plus online sites and custom locations, and GTO preflop charts.
What does PokerLog Prime include?
PokerLog Prime ($11.99/month or $99.99/year) unlocks tournament tracking (MTTs and SNGs with rebuys, add-ons and finishes), multi-table sessions (up to 20 tables or tournaments at once), Lock Screen and Dynamic Island controls for rebuys, tips and breaks, The Oracle (an AI assistant that answers questions about your stats), and smart import that reads any spreadsheet layout. The annual plan saves 30% and includes a free trial.
Do I need an account to use PokerLog?
Yes, a free account (Sign in with Apple, Google or email). It backs up your sessions and bankroll and syncs them between your phone and pokerlog.app. The app still works offline and catches up when you reconnect.
Is PokerLog on Android?
Yes. PokerLog is free on Google Play for Android phones, tablets and foldables. Sign in with the same account you use on iPhone or pokerlog.app and your sessions, bankroll and locations sync between them. Prime bought on iPhone or Android unlocks Prime on both and on the web.
Does PokerLog work offline?
Yes. The iPhone and Android apps keep working without a connection, so you can start, update and end sessions at the table. Changes sync to your account when you're back online. You need a connection to sign in the first time.
What are the GTO Preflop Charts?
PokerLog includes solver-approved preflop charts for 6-max and 9-max cash games, completely free. Study correct open-raise (RFI) ranges, 3-bet ranges, and defense ranges for every position. Access them from the Tools tab.
Tracking Sessions
How do I start a live session?
Open PokerLog and tap "Live Cash" or "Tournament" from the Quick Actions. Select your location (or add a custom one), enter your buy-in and session details, then tap "Start Session". Your timer begins and you can add rebuys, tips, and breaks as you play.
Can I log past sessions?
Yes! Tap "Log Past" from the Quick Actions to manually enter a completed session. Great for importing your historical data when you first start using PokerLog.
Can I track online poker sessions?
Absolutely! When selecting a location, switch to the "Online" tab to choose from popular sites like ACR Poker, PokerStars, ClubWPT, GGPoker, and more. Online sessions are tagged with an "ONLINE" badge.
What's Multi-Table Mode?
A Prime feature: run up to 20 tables or tournaments at once, side by side, each with its own buy-ins, timer and result. Each table is saved as its own session.
How do I track rebuys and add-ons?
During a live session, tap "Rebuy" to add a rebuy (defaults to your initial buy-in, or enter a custom amount). For tournaments, you can track add-ons separately. All amounts are automatically included in your profit calculations.
What's the difference between cash games and tournaments?
Cash Games track buy-ins, cash-outs, and tips, with Profit = Cash Out - Buy-ins (tips are tracked for your records; they're already paid from your stack). Tournaments track entry fee, rebuys, add-ons, rake, finish position, and field size, with Profit = Prize Won - Total Cost.
Can I edit a session after it's completed?
Yes! Find the session in Recent Sessions or the Sessions list, tap to view details, then tap "Edit" in the top right.
Bankroll Management
How does bankroll tracking work?
Your bankroll represents your dedicated poker funds. PokerLog automatically tracks Deposits (money you add to your bankroll), Withdrawals (money you take out), and Session Results (automatically recorded when you end a session). Your balance updates in real-time as you play.
Are session results automatically added to my bankroll?
Yes! When you complete a session, the profit or loss is automatically recorded. No manual entry needed.
What are Bankroll Health Alerts?
When enabled, PokerLog notifies you if your bankroll drops below recommended levels for your stakes. Helps you practice proper bankroll management.

Yes! Filter by This Week, This Month, This Year, All Time, or a Custom date range.
What is The Oracle (AI Stats Assistant)?
The Oracle (Prime feature) lets you ask questions about your poker performance in plain English. For example: "How do I perform at the Bellagio?", "What's my best day of the week?", "Compare my $1/3 vs $2/5 results", or "Show my tournament results this year". Powered by Google Gemini AI.
