The data filtering is not very intuitive which is a pain IMO. I've managed to stumble through it but there are some reports I can't seem to figure out. Also, it does not offer StDev calculations but IDGAF about it so YMMV.
As indicated I'm using three apps for the next month or so while I decide and here are my thoughts.
1 - Poker Mate: My original app, I picked 4 years ago because the free version looked ok and I didn't really know what I needed. I eventually bought the full version. It turns out it has a really nice interface and built in custom reports (All Time, This Month, This Year, Last 7 Days, Last 30 days, Last 365, etc, all with breakdowns by categories such as location, stake, day of week, etc) but no standard deviation, no import / export, and no graphs made me want to leave. I e-mailed the dev tho and he says there's a free 3.0 update in the works that will allow for easier future updates.
2 - Poker Bankroll Tracker: To Death's comment above this app DOES have standard deviation and a bunch of nice bells and whistles. I love the odds calculator (that supports ranges). The free version is ad based which is a minor nuisance but not terrible. It's UI is almost over the top for me. All the colors and fanciness is ok I guess but not necessary. The only thing I dont like so far about this app is the session list doesn't include play time, only location, profit, date, and game type. Small but I'm used to seeing this and think it's relevant to see without running a report. The other issue is it's subscription based, $8/year in the US seems fair though.
3 - Poker Income: The layout seems a little clunky but that could be just me getting used to something new. The free version reporting is super weak. The rest is standard I guess. I don't like that it doesn't value the concept of re-buys. If you re-buy it just adds on to the "buy in" and the rebuy details are lost.
No conclusion yet, but I'm leaning on dropping Poker Income next month and I may keep the other two just for the bells and whistles of the tracker. Hand Recorder, Odds Calculator, SD, graphs, all come with the free version. If the PM 3.0 never comes out I'll move to PBT.
