Poker Tweeter - A Twitter App for Poker Players

If you tweet about poker hands, we've got the perfect iPhone app for you. Just type card ranks and suits, and it automatically converts as you type. For example, you can type "askd" and Poker Tweeter converts it to "A♠K♦" instantly. It also has dedicated suit keys so you can type the suit characters directly when you're using the numeric keyboard.


Poker Tweeter also calculates win odds for two or more sets of hole cards and up to 5 board cards. Just tap the "%" key to insert or remove odds from your tweet as you type.


Poker Tweeter also has many features for general tweeting. You can search for user names or keywords, view any Twitter user's profile, follow and unfollow users, favorite and unfavorite tweets, and browse web links in tweets. It's the only Twitter app we use at FlopTech, and we're constantly working to improve it.

1.4 Update (22 November 2011)

We've added a new favorite user feature in this release, so you can make two lists of favorite Tweeters. You can see all you favorite Tweeters in the favorites view and instantly see their tweets with one tap. Even if you're not following them.

Just tap to any user's profile, then tap the "★ favorite" button to add them to the general favorites list or tap the "♠ favorite" button to add them to the poker favorites list. You can add and remove them from either or both lists at any time, depending on who you're most interested in at the moment.

For example, we added all of the 2011 WSOP November Nine players to our ♠ favorites list while we tweeted and blogged the action from Las Vegas. And don't worry about hurting anybody's feelings. Nobody ever knows that you've favorited or un-favorited them.

New features
- Favorite users: add any Twitter user to the ★ favorites or ♠ favorites lists
- Easily see any favorite user's tweets, even if you don't follow them
- Tap on any favorite user's home page link to see it in a web view
