Otherwise, for being a free app, very great! Though it really could use that practice mode. ### 5/5 — Great Trainer! *2026-05-10, version 4.3.4* I thought I had learned basic strategy, and I wasn’t bad but… being able to practice and get feedback when I make a decision has helped me tremendously!!! It’s a daily practice now 😊 ### 5/5 — Good simple app *2026-04-11, version 4.3.4* Like the smooth interface without ad interruptions. ### 5/5 — Good but… *2026-04-03, version 4.3.4* Good for basic strategy, hoping they add some counting soon. ### 5/5 — Very well designed *2026-02-27, version 4.3.4* This app made me 100% proficient at taking the correct actions. One improvement I would suggest though is to redo the strategy table so that the low numbered cards start on the left edge like every strategy table I’ve ever seen. ### 5/5 — A very good training app *2026-02-19, version 4.3.4* This is a great app, which can be used to brush up on your BlackJack skill set before you go to a casino ### 5/5 — Great job *2026-01-31, version 4.3.4* Best trainer ### 5/5 — Awesome resource *2026-01-17, version 4.3.4* Must have for testing your knowledge! ### 5/5 — Hey *2026-01-17, version 4.3.4* I am loving this app ### 5/5 — Fast teacher *2026-01-09, version 4.3.4* Literally makes learning basic strategy so easy to learn and master. Improves pattern recognition and quick mental math. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-01-03, version 4.3.4* Nice app bro ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-01-03, version 4.3.4* Good app trainer but an 11 against a dealer 5 , it says to hit instead of double. Thats the only issue I have with it. ### 5/5 — Great trainer! *2025-12-28, version 4.3.4* No BS, just good basic strategy, adjustable rules, easy to play - thanks for this app! ### 5/5 — I like the crisp design of this app *2025-11-16, version 4.3.3* It’s a challenge to keep just the basics, this is a great idea ### 5/5 — Best of the Best *2025-11-13, version 4.3.3* If you want to drill to get better at your game, this is the app to have. Very well designed. ### 5/5 — Baller *2025-11-04, version 4.3.3* Has all the tools you need for free ### 5/5 — Logan *2025-10-03, version 4.3.3* Very good for learning basic strategy and allows for rule customization depending on which play styles you want to memorize ### 5/5 — The best out there *2025-09-21, version 4.3.3* Best free 21 trainer app available. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — bad moves *2025-08-14, version 4.3.3* This app gives bad advice on a lot of hands. Frequently, on probability of dealer busting, says I should hit when I know the correct move is stand. ### 1/5 — Pro version/upgrade lacks advertised features *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 — Wrong *2024-06-06, version 4.2.2* Basic strategy charts have some errors. Avoid at all costs ### 1/5 — Nope *2024-04-08, version 4.2* I can’t open it on my iPad. It switches to the No Doubling version and that’s no use for practicing basic strategy. ### 1/5 — Good concept but runs poorly *2020-12-15, version 3.8* After using the app for 15 minutes, it begins to lag and then soft locks the phone. This is unacceptable performance. ### 2/5 — Definitely not one of the better apps *2025-11-01, version 4.3.3* Very basic drill functions. Zero feeling that cards are being dealt out. ### 2/5 — Bad advice *2025-10-03, version 4.3.3* The app was initially helpful until it said hit when the dealer showed 2-6 and I could bust. That's elementary strategy. The app said split every pair, which is not normal. Aces and 8/9 are common. ### 2/5 — Chart not accurate *2019-11-19, version 3.7.1* Basic strategy says hit on 16 when dealer has a 10. The app says stay or surrender. ### 3/5 — Incorrect chart? *2021-09-24, version 3.8.2* I don’t think it’s charts are correct… many other charts say to hit a 16 vs 10 not surrender it, for example. How do I know these are correct and minimize the house edge as much as possible?? ### 3/5 — Incomplete *2019-10-28, version 3.7.1* Love that there's no ads but it would be great to play the hands out and show percentage of wine to losses. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Learning friendly *2026-08-17, version 4.3.5* With many customizable options in training settings, this app can be catered to your learning style. I’m not a robot. ### 5/5 — Excellent Help *2026-07-27, version 4.3.4* I am an 88 year old guy who has been contributing to casinos most of my adult life. This 101 practice has helped me immeasurably and I am now able to hang on to my $$$’s a little longer. Thank you very much…seriously!!!! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-07-27, version 4.3.4* Great app ### 5/5 — Easy customization *2026-07-02, version 4.3.4* Love how you can customize it to how an actual casino plays. And definitely builds muscle memory ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-29, version 4.3.4* Great app to remember how to play when you are in casino. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-25, version 4.3.4* Excellent at teaching the user basic strategy. ### 5/5 — Learn like a pro *2026-06-24, version 4.3.4* Very simple learning, and will give you the confidence to sit at the a real blackjack table. Thank you for giving us this great App ! ### 5/5 — Best free blackjack app on the app store *2026-06-04, version 4.3.4* Fast deal, no freemium subscriptions, good set of training options Tried a bunch of other apps and theres always at least one thing wrong with them. This app puts them all to shame ### 5/5 — Review *2026-05-26, version 4.3.4* I like that if you are unsure you go to strategy and it shows the right move ### 5/5 — Nice Blackjack Trainer *2026-05-17* The best Blackjack training app i‘ve found so far! You can choose the difficulty, what you want to train (soft hands/ pairs/ etc.), get hints if you dont know the correct move and some more features. I would however love to look at my history without paying. ;) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
