SharkScope Releases Mobile Apps for iPhone and Android

One of the world's marquee tracking websites, Sharkscope, has released mobile phone versions of its software for the iPhone and Android.

The new "pocket" applications - named iScope and aScope - are available for $4.99 each and are fully featured with all of the goodies that Sharkscope users have come to expect. Customers can customize their search by poker network, buy-in, game format, profit percentage, and more with the mobile phone applications. The applications provide direct connections to the normal Sharkscope service.

Sharkscope members can perform a number of searches in order to obtain reliable profit-based information on opponents or themselves. Simply search by player name, Tournament ID, or global alias and then select which poker network you'd like. Detailed graphical information is displayed and can be customized to fit each individual's search needs and adjusted according to whether the search is focusing on an opponent or the customer.

The “Leaderboards” tab is also fully featured and provides detailed insight into the best players currently turning a profit at the virtual tables. Choose from a wide variety of heads-up, six-max, and full ring games ranging anywhere from the micro levels all the way up to the nosebleed buy-ins. For example, a quick search of the "Any Game," "Any Buy-In" tabs show that the most profitable sit and go players have made nearly $500,000 in the year 2011.

The iScope app is available at the iTunes store for $4.99 and was most recently updated on September 27th, where some of the connectivity issues were fixed. The file size is a mere 3.4 MB and the software comes in English, Dutch, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and other languages. The application requirements show that your device must be running iOS 3.2 or later on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

The aScope app is exactly the same as its counterpart, except for its exclusive use on the Android. The application was released on October 13th and is still in its first version. The file size is only 678 KB. In order to run the program on your mobile phone device, you'll need Android Version 2.1 or later. Note that all graphical information shown on the regular Sharkscope service will be the same when using either of these two software applications for mobile phones.

In order to gain full access to the Sharkscope service, one must acquire a Sharkscope membership, which can be purchased at its official website. Those without a membership who purchase either the iScope or aScope will receive 200 free searches when buying the application. Existing Sharkscope members will receive an additional 200 searches upon purchase.

There are several options for subscribers who want to make full use of SharkScope’s tracking capabilities. Individual searches can be bought in a package of 200 for $9.99 or a user can receive 150 searches per day for a fee of $11.99 per month. Both options are in addition to the five free searches per day that all Sharkscope users enjoy regardless of subscription status.

For customers who require a heavy load of searches, the best option is a one-year membership for $35.99 per month, which includes 1,000 searches per day. Users who purchase the 1,000 searches per day option will also receive free access to the Sharkscope HUD and Tournament Opener features.
