From a Complete Beginner

This app made blackjack strategy finally click for me. The hints explain when to hit, stand, split, or double, and the instant feedback helps you learn fast. I like being able to turn hints off and test myself. Simple, focused, and great for beginners.

Minor bug

Hit on 16 against dealer 10 and it reset my strategy streak.

Response from developer

Thanks for letting us know! We really appreciate you taking the time to share this. This issue should be resolved in the latest version of Blackjack Strategy Training — strategy streaks now stay consistent with the correct chart decisions. If you still notice anything off, please update to the newest release and let us know. Thanks again for helping us improve the app!

Great app for learning

This is a great app—does exactly what it says. If you are looking to learn basic strategy you can’t go wrong with this app.

I wish there was a way to turn off strategy hints AND give an alert/warning if I make the wrong move. Yes, I can watch the steak, but then I have to remember the previous hand and look it up. Maybe make this a setting?

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your thoughtful suggestion! I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying the app and finding it helpful for learning basic strategy. I really like your idea of adding a feature to turn off strategy hints while still receiving alerts for incorrect moves. It could certainly help enhance the learning experience by allowing users to focus more on their decision-making without constantly referencing the streak feature. I'll look into incorporating this as an optional setting in a future update. Your feedback is invaluable and helps shape the app for everyone. If you have any other ideas or features you'd like to see, please don't hesitate to share! Thanks again for your support!

Works almost great

Some decision that follow the chart actually breaks the strategy streak like hiting when you have 16 on a 7 or 8

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! We really appreciate you pointing this out. This issue with certain correct plays incorrectly resetting the strategy streak should be resolved in the latest version of Blackjack Strategy Training. Please update to the newest release and give it another try — everything should now align properly with the strategy chart. Thanks again for helping us make the app better!

Hint streak error

For Developer: The strategy for 16 says to hit on dealer showing 7 through Ace but the hint steak drops back to zero when you lose.
I also think you should rename “hint streak” to “strategy streak”. It would make it easier to understand what it is counting.

Also it is hard to understand the split hands. I would recommend only one arrow pointing to the other hand. Example, when seeing the left hand show arrow to right and vis versa. And maybe labeling.

Thank you for your valuable feedback! I'm glad you're engaging with the app and taking the time to share your thoughts. 16 Strategy: You're absolutely correct about hitting on 16 when the dealer is showing 7 through Ace. I'll review the logic related to the hint streak resetting to make sure it's functioning as expected when you lose. Hint Streak Name: I appreciate your suggestion to rename “Hint Streak” to “Strategy Streak.” That does make it clearer, and I'll look into updating that in a future release. Split Hands: I see how the split hands can be confusing. I'll work on making the arrows more intuitive, with just one pointing between the hands and possibly adding labels to help clarify which hand you're currently playing. Thanks again for helping improve the app! Stay tuned for updates.

Good and simple

One great change would be if there was an option for the streak count to be counting a streak of perfect strategy plays instead of wins - losses are gonna be a given so a wins streak count doesn’t give you much information

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback and continue support. I will consider making this change in the a future release. Edit: The the streak count will now be displayed as Hint Streak in version 1.1.11 and higher. Thank you again for the suggestion.
