July 21–25, 2026
Bomb Pots, Double Boards & Straddles
ReviewDouble-board bomb pots are now first-class: author both boards when you build the hand, see both on shared hands, and get both evaluated when the coach grades your decision.
GradingPer-decision grading is PLO-aware, so four-card hands are read as four-card hands instead of being squeezed through Hold'em assumptions.
ReviewEdit the straddle inline in the setup bar - toggle it, move it, change the amount, without rebuilding the hand.
MobileSubtle haptics across the core flows, smoother table resizing while editing a hand, and a board-versus-seat overlap guard so nothing collides on smaller screens.
FixHardened the hand-summary prompt against a rare case where it described who bet and who folded backwards.
July 16–21, 2026
Preflop Dojo: Rebuilt Corpus & Adaptive Depth (Beta)
PreflopRebuilt the spot library on a canonical pipeline with distribution, duplicate, and content audits, plus a review step so only approved spots reach you. Six new archetype batches cover squeezes out of position, multiway isolation folds, 4-bets against aggression, and straddled pots.
PreflopNew adaptive depth: some reps ask only for your action, others ask you to justify it. Stats understand the difference, so a quick action-only rep can never invent a weakness you did not actually show.
PreflopThe read that actually drives the spot now affects your grade, and action options follow one canonical order (fold, call, raise) on web and in the app.
StatsTighter “by spot type” rows so your weak areas fit on one screen instead of scrolling.
NotePreflop Dojo is still in beta. It is open to try, and the flag on each spot goes straight to us.
July 9–18, 2026
📱 Mobile Works Offline
MobileThe app now works without a connection. It opens offline, saves hands locally, plays today's Daily Spot, keeps a pool of practice scenarios ready, then syncs and grades everything the moment you are back online.
MobileA clear offline and sync banner, so you always know whether your work is saved on the device or saved with us.
MobileRebuilt to web parity: the hand-analysis screen, coach chat with proper streaming, the card picker, and the saved-hand edit workspace.
MobileImport parity for straddles, stakes, and action, plus first-run onboarding that assembles the table in front of you.
July 5–10, 2026
Showdown Reveal & Sharing Polish
SharingVillain hole cards now flip face-up at showdown on the felt of a shared hand, for members and for friends playing without an account.
SharingCopy hand history straight from a shared hand, and a summary polish pass that keeps the grade and the written verdict telling the same story.
Daily SpotSigned-out players now get the same graded summary members get, at the table, before results.
PerformanceFixed a ~5 second stall on the mobile landing hero and smoothed out scroll fades.
June 23 – July 3, 2026
Preflop Dojo Opens (Beta)
PreflopPreflop Dojo entered open beta on web and in the app: drills grew from 43 to 81, Concepts became a real lesson module, and Practice and Drills merged into one stream with unified stats.
PreflopThe preflop action now animates before you decide, first-in spots offer a limp where a limp is real, and your progress is linked to your account.
PreflopSpot types are color-coded throughout, villain labels describe the read honestly instead of leaking the answer, and every spot has a one-tap flag if something looks wrong.
Daily SpotThe leaderboard is now open to free players, not just subscribers.
June 16–19, 2026
Session Import
ReviewImport a whole session at once instead of one hand at a time, then play, edit, or delete any hand from it.
ImportMuch stricter parsing: each hand is distilled to clean text before it is read, then verified hand by hand with a guard against regressions.
ImportThree-number stakes like 2/3/5 are recognized as a standing straddle, and hole cards, middle blinds, and suits parse far more reliably.
ReviewA positions-only mode for hands you did not play yourself, so you can study a spot without real names attached.
June 4–10, 2026
Shared Hands Become Two-Way
SharingSee how others played your shared hand: every responder's line on a street timeline, collapsed until you want the detail. Recipients see it too, once they have played it themselves.
SharingFriends can now play a shared hand without an account, and their play-through follows them into their account if they sign up.
SharingCleaner pacing: skip to the next real decision, auto-advance when your action matches, and never advance past a street before you have seen what the sender did. Link previews now carry a spoiler-safe share image.
ReviewEdit and resubmit a reasoning you already sent, directly in the analysis chat.
June 1–8, 2026
Grades Move to a 0-10 Scale
GradingHand grades are now shown out of 10, derived from the verdict category rather than a raw percentage, so the number and the words always agree. A 10 means flawless, and Genius is a label for a genuinely creative line, not a score you can grind into.
GradingThe grade badge now has a real generating state while the coach thinks, instead of flashing a placeholder, and library scores are color-coded out of 10.
CoachYour villain reads reach the coach in Review, and hero notes respect a strict information boundary, so nothing you learned later contaminates the grade for an earlier street.
MobileKeyboard-aware scrolling everywhere you type, so the input never hides what you are writing.
May 20–31, 2026
Daily Spot Engagement Loop
Daily SpotChallenge a friend on today's spot and compare lines side by side, with challenge status surfaced on your dashboard and a cleaner past-challenges archive.

CurationStricter gates on which spots qualify as a Daily Spot: multi-street only, no trivial underpair folds against a c-bet.
PracticeA strategic debrief card at the end of a hand, with a follow-up composer that stays put so you can keep asking.
May 19–20, 2026
Daily Spot Refresh
Daily SpotA much bigger Daily Spot library: challenges now extend years into the future, with stronger curation so you never get a trivial check-fold flop.
Daily SpotNew spoiler-safe share grid and percentile comparison after each challenge - flex your score without ruining it for friends who haven't played yet.
CoachMore consistent grading and feedback across decisions, with cleaner reveal timing so the grade doesn't spoil the spot.
MobileCleaned up the mobile poker table - hand result pill sits above the table, hero action labels clear the marker, side-seat names always stay on-screen.
PracticeYou can now undo the same street decision repeatedly in Flow mode without getting stuck.
May 17–18, 2026

PracticeNew sound effects preference - toggle table sounds on or off from settings.

CoachTighter fact-checking in coach responses so claims about your hand and the board are grounded in the actual spot, not invented.
ReviewAdded an editable hand setup bar to Review - fix a wrong stack or position without restarting the hand.
MobileBetter reasoning keyboard behavior on mobile - the input no longer jumps or hides what you're typing.
RealismTightened opponent behavior on paired boards and 4-flush textures so villains play these spots more like real opponents.
SharingHardened the guest hand challenge flow so a friend can try your shared hand without an account.
FixPreserved cents for sub-dollar stakes so micro-stake hands display correctly.
