I also like the basic strategy section (even though I use a different app for that) but I would switch, if the cards wouldn't be laced out vertically (which is very uncommon to the usual casino style). I would switch if the cards would be in the same horizontal layout as usually played in the casino. Would make the training more realistic and adaptable to IRL play. Apart from that, like the app :) **Developer response:** Thanks! I can look into this for the next update I’m trying to finish. I try to keep the app in one orientation to make it so the user doesn’t have to constantly rotate their phone, which is a catch 22 because that means it is harder to fit everything in portrait mode. Thanks for the review! ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-20* Easy to use, counting and basic strategy. Has option to purchase add free which is worth it but free version good too **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! Glad you enjoy! ### 5/5 — Best Blackjack Trainer *2026-05-21* Multiple card counting modes, as well as basic strategy drill. decent ui. For only $5 to remove ads, it’s the best and most reasonably priced option I have found after searching **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! Hoping to add more great features soon! ### 3/5 — App stopped working *2026-05-20, version 4.5.0* I like the app but it stopped being able to open ### 2/5 — Won’t load *2026-05-19, version 4.5.0* I paid for this app as I hate commercials and I used it one night tried to open the application today and it is stuck in the loading screen. ### 3/5 — KO Swipe and Count error *2026-04-05, version 4.5.0* KO swipe and count consistently tells me my count is wrong even though the replay matches my original answer. ### 5/5 — Basic Strategy *2026-03-23, version 4.5.0* Very Useful tool ### 5/5 — Best Blackjack Trainer *2026-03-09, version 4.5.0* Multiple card counting modes, as well as basic strategy drill. decent ui. For only $5 to remove ads, it’s the best and most reasonably priced option I have found after searching ### 4/5 — Review *2026-01-17, version 4.5.0* Works. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-12-02* A truly fantastic app for learning to count cards, especially since it's free.
