Is StackEdge or Poker Analytics the better poker tracker?
Poker Analytics is a long-running iOS and Mac poker tracker with deep statistical history. StackEdge is the modern, Dynamic Island-native rebuild. Poker Analytics wins if you need Mac sync today and you rely on years of existing history in that app. StackEdge wins on the iPhone experience — live lock-screen timer, Dynamic Island, modern UI, plus a dedicated sold-action / backer module.
