Field notes
A host chooses starting chips, blinds, and an optional password; nearby phones appear in the Join screen and connect directly over Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth without a router. The host device handles shuffling, dealing, blinds, and side pots, while each player sees only their own cards. The page says everyone needs to install the app before losing internet access; the listed release is a free TestFlight beta.
