PokerDIY Mobile is the mobile version of the PokerDIY website designed specifically to be used on your mobile phone, iPhone or any device that has a small internet web browser.
A simple example - Facebook have a mobile version of their main website at m.facebook.com. You can do most of the things you can do on the usual Facebook but all the large images have been removed and there is a lot less text and "blurb" on the screen - when browsing the internet on your mobile phone you pay for each bit of data you download, so it's important to optimize a special version of the site for your mobile.
PokerDIY Mobile is a highly optimized version of the live website. It is not supposed to be able to do everything the main website can do and instead focuses on the key areas of the site. For example, on the mobile version you can view player profiles and record your poker league results on the go. You can see some screenshots of PokerDIY Mobile here.
Have a read of this Mobile Browser article if you want more information.
PokerDIY Mobile is not supposed to be a smaller replica of PokerDIY. Consider it a whole new look on poker leagues and poker social networking. In order to make it optimized and fast we stripped out all the static content and boring blurb and focused on making a usable mobile application instead.
For example, we focused on allowing you to view poker player profiles and scores and managing your poker league from the poker table.
We use it ourselves at our home poker games to record the scores as each person is knocked out. This updates the poker league scoreboard in real time!
Remember too that it is constantly evolving - we're adding info and functionality daily to both versions of the site to make it more useful.
If you are looking for poker forums, the poker blinds timer, poker videos and all that sort of stuff then you will need to view the main website.
Yes, this is the one of the best reasons to use PokerDIY Mobile. The screenshots on the PokerDIY Mobile page show a live PokerDIY poker league.
We actually use an iPhone at one of our own home poker games to record the scores immediately when someone gets knocked out in real time!
You need to log in on your mobile and then click through to your league. If you are the league owner you will be able to add poker games, edit player results and see poker player profiles. Bear in mind that this is the live data you are working with!
Your mobile needs to have a mobile internet browser on it so that you can browse the web. The most common is the iPhone, but any Windows Smartphone, Nokia, Siemens etc. mobile phone with a browser should work.
Check with your mobile manufacturer or read your device instruction manaual to see if it supports mobile web browsing.
Here's a simple test - if you can get to m.facebook.com on your mobile web browser then m.pokerdiy.com should work for you.
PokerDIY and PokerDIY Mobile services are and always will be free to use.
Mobile browsing is the same as browsing the internet on your computer at home - you pay your Internet Service Provider for the download or usage of the internet. This is true on mobile devices - check with your Service Provider for details and cost of your internet mobile data plan.
Yes, m.pokerdiy.com only works on mobile browsers. If you go to that address on a desktop/laptop browser it will redirect to the main www.pokerdiy.com site. Of course, if you went to m.pokerdiy.com on your mobile phone and you see the main website (you'll know!) - then please let us know!
Technical blurb: Browsers use a User Agent to identify themselves with their request. Your iPhone/mobile browser has a different "callsign" than a desktop browser, so PokerDIY knows which version of the site to send.
More technical blurb: If you really want to see the mobile site and you do not have a mobile browser, use Safari and change the User Agent under the Develop menu to the iPhone User Agent. This will trick PokerDIY into sending you to the mobile version of the site (on a big screen). There are also Firefox plugs for changing the UserAgent but this is all a bit nerdy - you can read more about it here.
Wherever you see this icon 
on PokerDIY it indicates that it was created on a mobile device. For example, you can see it on this live poker game which was created on an iPhone.
Sorry, please bear with us! Mobile phone browsers are a little less mature than desktop browsers and need a lot of tender love and care.
PokerDIY Mobile is constantly progressing and improving - you can really help us by reporting any errors you see including design issues (for example, if some data is too big for the screen or a button looks ugly!).
When something goes wrong, please contact us and tell us the following info, where applicable:
- Where you logged in, and if so, what is your PokerDIY UserName?
- What were you doing immediately before the error? (ie. what button did you click etc.)
- What mobile device are you using?
Thanks!
