Hello!! 

Transferring the file could be by Google drive, NFC, Bluetooth, or even email, though through email revolts a few Greeks (like myself!)

Google Drive would be my method as I can then share the file from one place to multiple devices, if necessary. I'm sharing your app, so structure sharing is a natural extension! :)

There are two reasons for paying less than 100%.

The first is when the buy-in has a portion of the donation (house fee). For example, @$125 buy-in could have $25 to the "house" and $100 to the prize pool. Thus, only 80% would be in the prize pool. 

Ideally that percentage or value could be input in the event set-up so that the prize pool only reflects the prizes, and not what people paid in. It's how actual card rooms display prize pools. $100+$25 (prize pool plus house fee) as it were. Keeps a cleaner appearance that way. 

The text option will be great, an ideal view for the players. 

Also, and I'd be willing to donate the time creating the .wav files for it, would it be possible to have the level change be fully announced? (i.e. "Attention dealers and players, if you have not started the shuffle, blinds for the next hand are 100, 200 with a 25 ante." and "Dealers and players, we are now on a 15 minute break.") I'm not a coder, so there may be an easier way than piecing together voice clips. 

When your adding text, comments would be great, too. Best example is "Coloring Up Green 25 chips", during breaks, and the like. 

Finally (really), it would be great if it was possible to set all the level times, or a range of times, at once. Rarely do levels change times until much later in a longer tournament. Settings for All, All Below 'X', and clicking in anv individual level would be great. 

Hope I haven't rambled too much, but I always get a bit excited when I talk about your application. 

Thanks again!

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

I'll look into the export indeed. As for the payout one more question: if a separate house fee could be added, would you then always do a 100% payout of the prize pool? Because if you do a 80% overall payout (without house fee), there's also a 20% cut from the rebuys and the addons, I'm not sure if that is desired. Or in other words: do the rebuys and the addons also have a house fee?

Piecing together these audioclips is not something I'm going to implement, there's too many ways these levels could be announced plus I'd have to do it in 4 languages (maybe more in the future). What I could do however is use Google's Text-To-Speech for this. A user could type the announcements he wants after every level and the TTS does the rest. Nonetheless, this is not a small feature so it will take a while before I would have the time to start on this :)

Comments during the break, check (this could simply be displayed as text, no real need for audio). This will take careful consideration qua layout though.

Easier multi editing in level settings, check. Text in the prize structure, check.

I put all these suggestions on my Trello board, thanks!

Sorry I haven't responded sooner, but I really do appreciate all the effort you've put in since I last did. 

The text to speech is nothing less than incredible!

As far being able to edit the blind structure en masse, if I could "column edit" the time of the blind level (similar to a spreadsheet), that would be awesome. 

Even better if I could column edit from a certain point. Such as, I might need to have the first 10 levels be 15 minutes, the next 10 levels be 20 minutes, and the next 10 levels be 30 minutes. 

Also, can we import/export in Android yet? 

Last of all, and I know you've disliked the idea on the past, could you make it so we can edit the time and blind structure while running?

As always, the app is terrific and I really appreciate all the work you're putting in. I've updated my Google Play review to reflect my increased level of admiration. 

Do you have something set up for donations?

Hi and thanks again! I ran a tournament yesterday and I must say I like the TTS feature myself too :) People really respond well to that. I'll be working on that some more since I received some good suggestions.

I guess with column edit you mean you can drag the cell value down as in Excel, right? That would indeed be neat. The spreadsheet feature is a 3rd party tool I use, but I'll see if I can add that.

Import/Export android is not in yet, I moved it up my priority list. I've added a "Edit schedule while running" task, but it's one that is going to take lots of testing.

Thanks for the rating, that's actually the best way to help me! If you want to donate that's possible via itch.io, just download the game here and enter a donation amount.

Thanks again for your feedback, that's really valuable for me and well appreciated!
