Thank you ### 5/5 — Great app wish it had this 1 feature *2025-09-16* The custom chooser is nice, but it would be nicer to import the frequent errors list as a custom practice choice. Or create a manual list (ex. A7 would want to practice 2 through A, but if i also want to practice 9,9 pair no split vs dealer 7, im going to get all of 2 through A as well.) ### 5/5 — Very very helpful *2025-09-03* It gives a novice like me a chance to set at a gaming table with confidence. Being able to customize drills where I can focus on my weaknesses is awesome. After using this trainer, I don't feel like I’m going to make a donation at the Blackjack table. ### 5/5 — The perfect blackjack trainer *2025-08-19* I only review apps when they are truly exceptional – maybe once every 2 to 3 years. Blackjack 101 pro trainer is perfect in design and execution. Being able to quickly consult the tables themselves and using expert mode to test yourself on edge cases is very helpful. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Great learning tool! *2025-06-09, version 4.3.1* It makes learning the book really simple ### 5/5 — Great Blackjack Training App *2025-05-11, version 4.2.2* Great app for perfecting your skills ### 5/5 — Great basic trainer *2025-02-09, version 4.2.2* Would be great to have deviations ### 5/5 — Great training app *2025-01-30* Love this app, I’ve been looking for something that just focuses on muscle memory of knowing instantly what to do without all the slow play of chips and other players. This app is highly customizable to different rules and how the basic strategy changes with those rules. Best of all it is FAST so you can get plenty of practice without wasting a ton of time. Another amazing feature is the ability to just play soft totals or pairs since they don’t come up as often in a normal game. Great app! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2025-01-25, version 4.2.2* Easy to use, definitely the best app on the App Store to learn basic strategy. ### 5/5 — Great teacher in your pocket. *2025-01-24, version 4.2.2* App is great for continuous learning and improving your blackjack basic strategy skills. Super simple to use too. Great app!! ### 5/5 — Love the App *2025-01-17, version 4.2.2* App is very easy to use, great way to memorize basic strategy ### 5/5 — Great app for practicing *2025-01-05, version 4.2.2* Does what you need… results will always be random based on amount bet… ### 5/5 — Great trainer for blackjack *2024-12-27, version 4.2.2* I have used many trainers and this is my favorite. ### 5/5 — Blackjack *2024-12-14, version 4.2.2* Great app to perfect your Blackjack skills,especially soft hands and pair mode. ### 5/5 — Great for Practice *2024-11-28, version 4.2.2* Lots of options that allow you to configure for the practice hands you want. Need practice with soft hands, this game will deal them all to you. ### 5/5 — Perfect and simple *2024-10-31, version 4.2.2* KISS ### 5/5 — Worth paying to avoid in app purchases *2024-10-10, version 4.2.2* If you want a quick way to practice anywhere and anytime this app is great. ### 5/5 — Awesome for training *2024-10-08, version 4.2.2* Really excellent training app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Should not have two separate apps. *2024-06-25, version 4.2.2* I made the mistake of paying for the Pro version twice(in the form of in-app upgrade and dedicated app) for it’s claimed benefits/features to discover they don’t even exist. ### 1/5 — I paid money for this *2019-03-25, version 3.3.3* I upgraded to pro thinking I could eliminate the pop ups and enjoy this app. As soon as I paid for the upgrade I started getting pop ups to write a review. Can’t I just play the game **Developer response:** Hi, sorry you were bombarded with pop-ups. The requests for a review should be limited to 3 times, if it was more than that then please let me know (on the help screen there's a link to email the developer). BTW, those popups initially ask for just a star rating, and you can stop with that. Writing a review is optional. Unfortunately I need to bug users for ratings/reviews, even with the Pro version (especially w/the Pro version!) because the only way we can get more users and downloads is if we get lots of people to leave a rating or review. ### 1/5 — Force close *2016-01-29, version 3.0* Paid .99 for an app that force closes and never once got it to open. Useless. ### 1/5 — Absolute waste of money *2010-07-03, version 0* This is a complete waste of $0.99. It is the worse app I ever downloaded. Don't waste your time or money. ### 2/5 — Needs more *2012-09-12, version 2.3* Game is ok. It needs to tell you why to make the move other than just telling you your decision is right or wrong. Needs much more instruction. Don't waste your money if your trying to learn BJ. There has to be better out there. ### 4/5 — Blackjack player *2026-05-04, version 4.3.4* Very nice way to practice or learn basic strategy. ### 4/5 — 101 *2024-09-09* It would be good to have a simulated game with dings for wrong play as well, otherwise very good ### 4/5 — Great practice game!!! *2023-08-10, version 4.1.1* I really like it and have improved my Basic Strategy, but I can’t use the Strategies Chart because it is upside down from the one I memorized. Can the Developer add an option to flip the Charts ? ### 4/5 — Blackjack Pro 101 *2020-03-19, version 3.7.1* Outstanding App It needs a Horizontal (Landscape) mode. ### 4/5 — Please add option *2016-07-11* "No surrender on Aces" ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Realistic *2026-07-08, version 4.3.4* It works ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2026-06-27* The Pro app genuinely is a great investment. It is well-designed, and most importantly NOT filled with flashy distraction nonsense. It is basic, and gives you all the info you need, in the way you need it. You need no other apps for blackjack—just this one. ### 5/5 — Practice makes perfect *2026-06-13* I’m just learning how to play the game to going 500 straight games without getting one wrong. I’ll have to admit it has paid dividends. ### 5/5 — Good tool to learn basic strategy *2026-04-30, version 4.3.4* Worth the money, good to to learn or refine your basic strategy skills. ### 5/5 — Great for learning *2026-04-07, version 4.3.4* This is a good training app for beginners and more experienced. I like the beginner, normal intermediate, and advanced level. ### 5/5 — Great black jack trainer *2026-04-01, version 4.3.4* Excellent app to learn how to play blackjack basic strategy ### 5/5 — Best Blackjack app available *2026-03-25* In just a few weeks, I went from knowing nothing about blackjack to knowing exactly how to play every hand dealt. I went from sitting on the sidelines watching to being the person players go to for advice on how to play their hands. I only play for fun on occasion, but if you want to become a true pro, you'll need to learn other skills such as knowing which table to play at, and of course the thing all casinos frown on the old C C. ### 5/5 — Great training *2026-03-21, version 4.3.4* So many things I had forgotten 😀😀 ### 5/5 — Honestly great app *2025-10-29* I never played bj before this and wanted to master it for a couple reasons so I downloaded it a while back went from like 15-20% accuracy to 85% in like 10 hrs then now I’m to like 95-98% after two weeks definitely still a hard thing to master but this is a huge tool and great resource especially for cheaper then a cup of coffee definitely a 5/5 stars review here ### 5/5 — Full practice play *2025-10-28, version 4.3.3* Is there an option to play the hand fully out of the total practice experience. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
