## What is Blackjack by Card Coach?

Our goals were simple:

· Teach blackjack and the rules of basic strategy
· Provide a simple, free game mode
· Give feedback and insights through gameplay statistics

Blackjack by Card Coach is broken up into clear sections to help you focus your learning and enjoy the game:

· Intro & Guide – Including everything from basic game rules to advanced tips and tricks, to what to look out for in a live casino blackjack table.

· Strategy Rules – Begin to learn (or refresh your memory!) about basic strategy – the series of computationally generated rules optimized to help lower the house odds against you in blackjack – with easy to remember, bullet point style one-liners.

:: GAME MODES ::


· Learn – An interactive game with cleanly laid out player and dealer hands, which directs you through prompts to the correct action for each turn of your hand, along with a reminder of the relevant basic strategy rule to help you memorize.

· Test – Responds to each action taken in a hand to confirm whether or not you selected correctly per basic strategy, providing a reminder of the relevant rule after the action.

· Play – A simple play mode providing a never-ending bank roll and basic variable betting options. No learning or testing here, just some good, fun card play!

· Assistant – A new mode to help you play out chosen scenarios. Tap to edit any upcard and the Basic Strategy recommendation is updated live. Then play your hand through to see potential outcomes. Finally, use the Repeat button to deal the same player hand and dealer upcard again, varying the hole card and further dealt cards to see other potential outcomes.

We also provide -

· Statistics – Extensive key game and test result data to show you how things are really going. This page will provide you with many game insights including how many correct answers you made in Test mode, how much money you won in Play mode, and how following (or ignoring) basic strategy may have impacted your results. Assistant mode result data is included separately here.

· Settings – Alongside basic configuration, this page allows those of you already experienced in blackjack to alter the app wide table settings in order to learn, test and play against the dealer in your preferred real world situations. The app supports many different configurations, including numbers of decks, whether or not the dealer must stand on Soft 17, use of a Continuous Shuffling Machine and much more.

Card Coach was conceived to help us study and practice our favorite card games. We wanted to learn and play online or offline, without the distractions of flashy apps, ads, or the constant need to pay more for tokens, tickets or chips. The first app to be created in this series is Blackjack by Card Coach, a brand new way to learn and play.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-12-16*

App is terrible and not user friendly. Refundd please

### 1/5 — Meh...NOT AMERICAN BLACKJACK (Useless for American players.)

*2020-02-18*

Plenty of free apps out there that are easier to use and have more features.  Clumsy format for changing bets;  only offers single player vs. dealer, no CPU players to simulate other players at the table.  Not really designed to benefit an already advanced player, and newbies can find free teaching apps that are much easier to use.

No option for the dealer to peak when the upcard is a T or am A, as they do everywhere in North America.  So, as a strategy trainer it’s pretty much useless for American players.

**Developer response:** Option for Dealer to check Ten for BJ has now been added. Dealer also now checks Ace for BJ after optional prompt. Thanks for your feedback.

### 5/5 — Fun and helpful!

*2019-02-26*

Tons of helpful guidance in this app. Love how it keeps statistics to track improvement.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.9 — 2025-12-17

* Assistant mode moved out of beta!
* Updated to support iOS 26
* Minor enhancements to the Play betting options
* Bugfixes

### 2.8 — 2022-08-17

* Assistant Mode *
Brand new interactive game mode that lets you change your hand or the Dealer's upcard, then returns the correct Basic Strategy rule to apply in the new situation and allows you to play out the hand repeatedly to see different outcomes based on your actions. This new mode is in BETA and we value all feedback to improve the experience and make this tool more powerful in future releases!

* Dealer Checks Ten for BJ *
Added support for standard American play. When enabled (default), the Dealer will automatically check for BJ if their upcard is a 10 or face card (10, J, Q, K). Disable this option in Settings to revert to European style play.

* New Music & Randomizer *
Four new music loops have been added to the app, along with the option to pick your preferred loop or have one chosen at random with each new session.

* Prompt for Insurance *
We have updated the system to always check for BJ when the Dealer receives an Ace upcard in all modes besides the Assistant. Now the system will explicitly prompt you about insurance when the "Can Buy Insurance" setting is enabled. For players wishing to never take out insurance and avoid these prompts, simply disable insurance in Settings and the Dealer will automatically check for BJ when an Ace is dealt.

* BJ Payout 2-to-1 *
You can now set Play mode to deliver a payout of 2-to-1 for BJ, in addition to the existing 3-to-2 and 6-to-5 options.
