Best poker tracker app in 2026
If you searched this and came away confused, there is a reason. Almost nothing in this category is an app.
Short answer. PokerTracker, Hold’em Manager, Hand2Note, DriveHUD and Poker Copilot are all desktop programs with no mobile version. What runs on a phone is a tracker that lives in the browser, where you upload your hand histories and read the results on any device. For live play, where no hand histories exist, you want a bankroll logger instead, which is a different kind of product entirely.
This search means several different things
People type the same words wanting quite different products, which is why the results are such a mess. Work out which one you are after before reading any review.
| What you want | What it is called | Works on a phone? |
|---|---|---|
| Stats and leaks from hands you played online | A hand history tracker | Only the web-based ones |
| A log of your live sessions and bankroll | A bankroll or session tracker | Yes, this is what they are built for |
| Someone else’s tournament results | A results database | Yes, SharkScope has real apps |
| Stats on the table while you play | A HUD | No, and it is not close |
Why the HUD row says no
A heads-up display works by drawing a small panel over each seat at the table, on the same screen, while you play. That needs a desktop operating system where one program can paint over another.
Phones deliberately do not allow that. An app cannot draw over another app’s content, and poker apps in particular are built to stop it. Even if the technology allowed it, most poker rooms would treat it as prohibited software.
So a phone tracker is a review tool by definition. You read it after the session rather than during it, which several rooms now insist on anyway. Our page on getting your hands out of each site covers which rooms allow what.
What genuinely works on a phone
Web-based trackers. You upload your hand history files and everything runs on their servers, so the phone only has to show the results. HandHistory.com is the established one, free for your last 100 hands and $29 a year beyond that. Nothing to install, and no database to maintain.
Bankroll and session apps. A category of their own, built for live players. You enter the game, the buy-in and the cash-out, and they chart it. Poker Analytics is the best known on iPhone. None of them read a hand, because a casino table produces no file to read.
SharkScope. Real apps on both platforms, and useful for what it does, which is looking up tournament and sit-and-go results. It has no cash game database and cannot have one, since those results are never published.
The Mac question, since it comes up here too
If you are on a Mac rather than a phone, more is available. PokerTracker 4, Poker Copilot and Hand2Note 4 all have Mac builds, and Poker Copilot ships a single binary covering both Mac chips. Hold’em Manager 3 and DriveHUD 3 are Windows only, so a Mac user needs Parallels or Boot Camp for either.
Where ours sits
Zayrion Analytics runs in a browser, which means it works on a phone for the same reason the others do. It is in development and has no price yet. If you need something today, the options above are real and ours is not.
The full list, with prices and one genuine weakness each, is on the comparison page.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a poker tracker app for Android or iPhone?
Not in the way most people expect. The established trackers are Windows and Mac programs with no mobile version, because they were built to draw a display over a poker client running on the same computer. What works on a phone is a tracker that runs in the browser, where you upload your hands and read the results anywhere.
Can I use a HUD on my phone?
No. A heads-up display draws stats over the poker table on the same screen, which needs a desktop operating system and permission from the poker room. Poker apps do not allow another app to draw over them, and most rooms would ban it anyway.
What is the best app for tracking poker results?
It depends which results you mean. For hands you played online, a web-based tracker you open in a mobile browser. For live sessions at a casino, a bankroll logger you type into after you cash out. Those are different products and mixing them up is the most common mistake in this search.
Does PokerTracker 4 have a mobile app?
No. Neither does Hold’em Manager, Hand2Note, DriveHUD or Poker Copilot. All five are desktop programs. Some have companion features that display on a phone, but none of them let you import and analyse your hands from one.
Is SharkScope a poker tracker app?
It has genuine iPhone and Android apps, and it is not a tracker in the usual sense. Its database covers tournament and sit-and-go results only, gathered from results the networks publish. It holds no cash game data at all, because cash results are never published.
What is a poker bankroll app?
A session logger. You type in where you played, what you bought in for and what you left with, and it charts your results over time. It never sees a hand. For live players it is the only thing that can work, since there are no hand histories to read.
Can I analyse my hands on a phone for free?
Partly. HandHistory.com gives you your last 100 hands at no cost in a browser, which is enough to see what the thing does. Beyond that everything in this category is paid, and the web tools are considerably cheaper than the desktop ones.
