Running Count: Card Counting
Hi-Lo & Blackjack Strategy
$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Learn the Hi-Lo count in five hands-on lessons, then build real speed. Count down a full deck, keep the count at a live table, and play every hand by the chart.
Learn to count cards one skill at a time, until it's automatic.
Running Count teaches the Hi-Lo system from the first card to the true count, then drills you until you can keep the count at a full table without thinking. Every answer tells you why, and the hands you miss come back until you've got them.
LEARN HI-LO
• Five short, hands-on lessons
• Drag cards into +1, 0, and −1
• Watch the running count move, card by card
• Cancel high and low cards in pairs to count faster
• Convert to the true count
COUNT DRILLS
• Card values: tag single cards as fast as you can
• Deck countdown: count a full deck against the clock. One card is held back, so you have to give the real count at the end
• Deal 1, 2, or 3 cards at a time, by tap or automatically
• Table count: hands are dealt to 1, 3, or 5 players and played out. Keep the count across rounds
TRUE COUNT
• Read the discard tray to estimate the decks left
• Divide and round down, with the math shown every time
BASIC STRATEGY
• Hit, stand, double, split, and surrender drills
• A one-line reason with every answer
• Practice hard hands, soft hands, or pairs on their own
• Weak spots: drill only the hands you miss most
• Full chart that follows your table rules. Tap any cell to see why
• Common index plays for the true count
YOUR TABLE, YOUR RULES
• 1, 2, 6, or 8 decks
• Dealer hits or stands on soft 17
• Late surrender on or off
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
• Best countdown time and a chart of your last 10
• Longest streak and strategy accuracy
• Your weak spots at a glance
BUILT RIGHT
• Real shoes made of complete decks
• Crisp card sounds and haptics, or turn them off
• Dark design that's easy on the eyes
• No ads. No account. Works offline.
• iPhone and iPad
Running Count is for practice and entertainment. There's no betting and no real money in the app, and training doesn't promise results anywhere else. Using a device at a casino table isn't allowed.
