Blackjack Strategy Practice 17+

This app is the best I have seen an have used it for more than two years. It is for beginners to advanced players and a must for those who want to learn basic strategy well and to move on to advanced play. I use the app almost every day to focus on the hands that give me trouble, has a features to allow you to just focus on that. The other feature that is awesome is that it keeps track of your hands in a table with a break down of how good you have played a specific hand. If you want to go to the casino and have a fighting chance of wining learning basic strategy is a must!! This app gets you there. From there you can dive into other advanced strategies to make you a better player, something the casinos don’t want you to be!!! Get this app!!

This is a great app. The interface is snappy and easy to learn. The statistics are useful. I love the ability to change rulesets, focus on certain hands, and review hand history.

A few things are keeping it from a perfect five-star rating.

First, an error: Basic strategy says (under most rules) to surrender a 15 against a dealer’s ten. But the app says to surrender against a dealer’s ace, which is incorrect. Please fix that error.

Second, it would be super useful to let users create customized basic strategy cards.

That feature would be ideal for advantage players (a.k.a. card counters) who want to practice certain deviations at a given count. For instance, I could create a basic strategy card for when the true count equals +4, and practice the deviations that arise in that situation.

It also would be a nice workaround for any unintentional errors that the developers made in creating the stock basic strategy cards (like the 15 vs. Ace surrender error above).

Third, and relatedly, it would be great to have a feature that shows a random “true count” and expects you to play the correct deviation. Again, this is a feature that would really appeal to advantage players.

All in all, a great app, with some room for improving the features that card counters would find useful. A bit more focus on those users, and you might grow (and retain) a dedicated base of fee-paying subscribers.

By far the best trainer out there. Ignore some of the older ratings. Many of the issues identified, like adding surrender, have been addressed. Other poor ratings complain about not allowing hand to play out. The only downside I see to this is that it does not replicate the “feel” of casino play. Blackjack is all about the totals on the table so i don’t really think that’s a valid complaint. This app allows for adjustments to rules and payouts depending on where you plan on playing. If you want to work on your basic strategy just spend a week with this before you play and you will be good to go.
