well, I'll do some local advertisement here in WI. This is such a great app, you deserve some success.

I think one of the best things we can do (assuming the person likes the app) is to write a favorable review on the App Store. I imagine getting a high star rating would bring some much deserved attention!

Really happy this app has surfaced and looking forward to finally putting it into play on Friday!

I plan to download it and test out on my iPad this week, possibly buy an Apple TV for it as well to push to my poker table TV.

I was using dr neau and I like it a lot but the licensing costs and restrictions don't fit how seldom I run tourneys.

I also used app last Friday. It was a big hit and one of my players who runs a ladies league immediately asked me to email her the name of the app. It worked very well in all phases of the game. My only complaint is that there seems to be no way to put a player back in that busts. I inadvertently removed the wrong player and then could not correct the mistake. No biggie, but if it were a league game, then it would be difficult to correct.

Minor complaint, all in all, this was such a great experience. We played pandora through the TV as well and the two ran together smoothly.

Tried to search for it thru Apple App Store from various iterations of the name, no such luck

 

[Redbelly]

Be sure it's the Apple Store iPad app. I search Blindsup and it comes up...

I've been looking for a new app like this. My question, though I haven't downloaded and played with it yet is, when eliminating a player can I select who knocked them out, and are stats provided on knockouts in the PRO version? I'm running a 10 game season with a final table and keep track of who knocked out who and most knockouts.

 

[Blinds Up]

Yes, you can select who busted out a player, and there are stats on knockouts (named "hits" on the app)

Thanks for the quick reply.

Used the BlindsUp! app in my Redbelly game last night and it was a big success!

Only issues I had were that one of my breaks didn't show up... Not a big deal.
I also had a few times where the "Players, one minute remaining" didn't come across and also a couple of times that the "Blinds are now....." did not come across.
I did check my settings after the game, I had Sharon as the voice but couldn't find the fault on my end. Might be a glitch, might be my fault...

VERY well received by the players and the after game report was nice and will be fun to keep track of under the Championship setting.

Doesn't hurt that the Host had a nice start to the Season either! (looked at the stats in the morning and saw that the "Host" was really an "Ass" to his Players... well, a lot of them!. I'm sure revenge is heading my way in October!

Saw a Royal Flush at the game too! Wasn't mine. (Danger Thread Creep!)

GREAT APP. Julien!

(Contrary to that pesky Absprime919 character on the App Review, I successfully removed all 19 players! No problem!)

^^ rigged

 

[Blinds Up]

The host is winning? This room is rigged
For the break remain time issue, that's known and has already been corrected in the 1.6 which is still in development. I noticed that during a 12-hour game two weeks ago
For the sounds not triggered, I don't know... maybe you could tell me for which blinds amount you got the glitch?

 

[Jake_rrr]

Blinds Up,

When I open my csv file up in excel, the file isn't sorted into cells, just one cell with all the headings. I know I should probably post this on your forum site, but I noticed Redbelly's properly formatted stats. Any way to fix this? I have tried it in both excel and numbers and it is the same.

My first time using the app, I scooped the tourney!! I chock it up to the app running so well, and doing more, so that I could focus more on the game..

Is this with Windows or Mac?

Did you try this?
File > New
File > Import
Check "CSV"
Be careful that ; is the column delimiter
Everything should be OK.

I finally go around to reading this thread. Thanks to the developer and all of guinea pigs....er...reviewers.

Its a mac. I'll try it again. Never really had any problems csv files before.

Everything is good. I was just opening it straight in Excel. Didn't go to the import and check the semi colon box.

Explain what you mean by the "semi colon" box, had your same issues but not sure how I resolved it...

Having the ability to do player updates on my mobile device allowed me to stay in my seat.

Yep! Exactly what I did. Very nice! Now I want an iPad mini (or the iPhone remote![emoji6])
Right now, however, I'm in a pretty happy spot![emoji41]

I followed the instructions that Blinds Up posted earlier. When importing a csv file you can have it separate to cells based on comma or semi colon. But you have to check the semi colon box for that to work. Mine wasn't and once I did that it worked great.

 

[Blinds Up]

Hey guys, you know what? This morning I was working on the Remote function for Blinds up, then... *knock knock* someone knocked on the door... "you got a parcel from US"

I now have a nice Redbelly t-shirt, many thanks Sean
I hope it will bring me luck when playing tourneys while wearing it

 

[12thMan]

@Redbelly is the man!!!

 

[Redbelly]

Yeah! I hope it does too! Happy to see it arrived! You've made a great product that only seems to be getting better and better!
(now what were you saying about "remote function"?) ... BACK TO WORK![emoji6][emoji41]
Cheers Julien!

 

[SixSpeedFury]

Android, android! lol. Seriously though, can't wait to see when this comes out on Google Play, don't want to get an iPad just for.

 

[Numerobis]

Congrats @Blinds Up ! The App seems amazing, looking forward to giving it a try. Am tired of only timer apps !

When will it be available on iphone?

 

[ChipTalker]

Same for me I would love to get involved here but would have to be Android.
