Review summary

Users find the app highly effective for learning and practicing blackjack basic strategy and card counting with multiple practice modes and a simple interface. However, repeated complaints include unintended dealer actions from screen touches, problematic back button behavior, missing advanced features like surrender and deviations, and lack of betting practice options. Overall, it's a valuable free app for skill improvement but could benefit from enhanced navigation and expanded training features.

Pros

Great for practicing basic blackjack strategy and card counting.
Includes multiple modes with specific hands for focused practice.
Simple, quick loading, and user-friendly interface.
Provides toggles to reveal running count (RC) and true count (TC) and has a built-in basic strategy reference.
Helps improve game skills effectively and is free to use.

Cons

Touching the screen near cards unintentionally triggers dealer hits despite having dedicated buttons.
Back button navigation is unintuitive, often returning to the main menu instead of previous screens or showing exit confirmation.
Limited features: lacks options for practicing surrender, multiple splits, or playing deviations.
Basic strategy card does not update when dealer hits on soft 17 setting is changed.
No support for betting units or chips to practice betting strategies.

2025-01-22	G.*****	It is so stupid and annoying that any time the screen is touched around your cards the dealer hits. There are buttons at the bottom used to hit and stand. Why also any time my finger mistakenly touches the screen? Also, I see no way to practice surrender, multiple splits, or ways to incorporate deviations.

2023-10-14	Ki*****	Really good for basic strategy practice. Pairs and splits don't come up as often. I like that you can focus in on just those things. Definitely has improved my game in those areas. Looking forward to "challenge mode".

2023-09-07	An*****	Good, but a few minor annoyances. The back button on my phone should not kick me back to the menu. Also, if you split aces and the second hand gets 21 it lets you hit for some reason.

2023-07-26	Ap*****	Great simple little free app for training yourself. Has a few different modes where you get dealt specific hands to practice. You can reveal the RC and TC with a toggle and it has a basic strategy reference built in. If I could add anything, it would be some information on playing deviations and betting spreads. But for purely training yourself on keeping the count and perfecting basic strategy, this is a good app.

2023-07-21	Ri*****	I like a lot about this app, really good for practicing card counting and strategy. Giving 4 stars because there's one main thing missing, it shows how long your streak of not making mistakes in strategy is but doesn't show a win streak. Seems like that would be simple enough to implement, and would really complete the app. Adding in the ability to bet different units to see the effects of accurate counting and strategy would be more complicated but would truly elevate the experience

2023-07-08	Ad*****	Terrific app! Two suggestions for improvement regarding use of the phone's back button. If viewing the strategy card, back button should take you back to the game, not the main menu. If playing a game, hitting back should show an exit confirmation popup.

2023-04-14	Dr*****	I think the app is great, but when I switch the setting to dealer hits on soft 17, the basic strategy card does not update. Is the same card used?
