When someone steps away
A phone dies or somebody walks off. The table nudges, then covers the turn, and the seat is still theirs when they come back.

Watch the clock
The turn timer runs as a ring on the active seat and as seconds in the status line, so you can see who the table is waiting on.

The table covers them
At twenty-five seconds the player gets a nudge. At sixty, the seat is covered so the hand keeps moving. Nobody else has to stop.

Take the seat back
When they are back, one tap on Take it back drops them into the same hand. In the app, a push notification tells them when it is their turn.
Try it at your table
On a practice table, let your own turn run and watch the nudge arrive, then play.
Quick check
Does a player lose their seat if their phone dies mid-hand?
No. The seat is covered while they are gone, and one tap takes it back when they return.
