### 4/5 — Add sound settings

*2024-10-30*

I love this app, but I’d love the ability to turn off the volume so that I can use while listening to music

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review!
You can turn off the volume on the Account page (bottom right tab in the lobby) by pulling the volume lever to 0.

### 4/5 — Great app, a bit expensive

*2024-07-09*

Bug report: the pot odds exercise got stuck such that the villain always bet 2 chips on a pot of 24 chips. This turned the exercise into “press 7% as quickly as you can”.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback and the bug report!
The issue with Odds Trainer getting stuck is fixed and released (4.2.4).

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2026-07-12*

This might be the dumbest app ever invented. One could only hope to play against someone who follows this raise/call/fold chart.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!
I you ever try your luck online, you will face many opponents who are playing close to optimal preflop ranges already at the microstakes and your wish will come true.

### 1/5 — Just Wrong Stuff

*2026-04-27*

I had a royal flush draw and bet the flop, opponent called. Then bet the turn and faced an at least 8x jam and the app told me to call as a semi-bluff. I mean like what the hell. Way to tell me this is a scam.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! 

There is a bug in the explanations when facing an all-in bet postflop. It takes text from a bet/raise scenario and just replaces it with call, which doesn't make any sense. The bug has been fixed and the fix is included in the next release.

### 1/5 — Steals money

*2025-07-30*

I had downloaded the app and used the free trial, I disliked it and deleted the app. Two months later after I finally added my card to my account I was charged 60 bucks for a year long subscription. They denied my refund. Don’t download or pay anythinggggg!!!!

**Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We want to clarify that subscriptions and billing are handled by Apple, and charges occur if the free trial isn’t canceled before it ends. Apple’s system will process the payment to the method on file at that time. Unfortunately, we don’t have the ability to issue refunds, but you can request one through Apple Support: https://support.apple.com/billing.

That said, your feedback matters to us, and we’ll keep working to make sure the app experience is clear and valuable for everyone. Thank you for giving Poker Trainer a try.

### 2/5 — Insufficient

*2026-02-23*

While this is a fun little game to get introduced to some very basic concepts, it is lacking the range detail which results in training to be TOO tight. For example, with 100BB, in UTG+1, facing an UTG open, one may call sometimes with pocket 9s; this app demands a fold in that spot. With > 100BB, set mining can be profitable in this spot, if played properly post flop.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!
In our MTT ranges, 99 vs UTG open from UTG+1 is a call.
In our cash-game (NL50) ranges, it’s a fold. The main reasons are rake and no ante, which make calls less profitable than in an MTT.
The ranges in the app are GTO or GTO-based, so they assume tough opponents and a meaningful risk of facing 3-bets, which tightens up some preflop decisions compared to soft live games.

### 2/5 — Pay Wall

*2025-12-11*

Expect nothing for free. You get a few hands, but if you want to sit for a bit and learn, expect to pay for a subscription.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review!
Some things are for free and without limitations:
- Hand Ranking Trainer
- Best Hand Trainer
- Odds Trainer
- Range Viewer
- Odds Calculator
- Beginner Tutorials

For Preflop Trainer and Postflop Trainer, the number of free hands has a daily limit. But you can still practice a bit every day in those as well if you like.

### 2/5 — Error?

*2025-02-26*

Maybe I’m just too new/clueless about poker, but there seems to be an error in the FIRST example in the intro to poker section…the text description of the cards on the board does not match the picture. Deleted app…

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, and I’m sorry about that error in the intro section. I’ve fixed it in the latest update, so everything should match correctly now. I appreciate you pointing it out — your feedback helps make the app better! I hope you’ll give it another try. If you have any questions as you learn, I’m happy to help.

### 3/5 — You keep making it worse, probably thinking you’re making it better

*2026-06-23*

What the heck did you do to the training setup page?… Why do you keep messing with it?… I’m trying to learn but I’m spending most of the time figuring out how to set up my parameters.  You guys keep doing this. It’s getting very frustrating.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! 🙏

Over time we have added more ranges and more bet- and stack sizes. 
Unfortunately that makes the settings a bit more complicated. We try to keep it as simple as possible, but if you have suggestions on how to simplify it, they are most welcome at support@pokertrainer.se!

### 3/5 — Some of the decisions are questionable

*2026-01-27*

This is great to teach a grind game, but honestly, i question when it tells me to call an all-in check raise from ep3 with a flush on the board and I’m holding a straight. I dont think thats realistic in a 2/5 cash game especially with questionable equity. So it has some holes.

**Developer response:** Sorry for late response, I missed this!
I don't know the exact scenario, but in GTO (game theory optimal) play, a straight is a clear call in most scenarios against an EP3 check-raise all-in on the turn, even with 3 flush cards on the board. If the opponent is playing anywhere near optimal they will have a lot of hands that are not flushes. 

It might however be a fold against weaker opponents who check-raise turn with a much stronger range. At the moment the gameplan is assuming competent opponents, that are playing reasonably close to GTO. 

In a coming update we will introduce exploitative play that takes advantage of opponents' mistakes, stay tuned!

### 3/5 — Playa

*2025-08-21*

The Joker

### 3/5 — Good simple too to improve when starting

*2025-02-12*

It would be great if the app could remember our options on the gto table.

E.g. I only play MTT and everytime I open the app I need to change the filter from cash game to MTT again

Also, options such as 80, 50, 40 & 30 BB stacks and 5 or 7 players would be great (to cover when other players sit aside).

Nice little tool to learn and practice. Considering the paid version!

Continue the good work !

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback Rodrigo!
Your suggestions make total sense and I will take care of them. I will include remember settings for preflop and postflop in the next release. More stack depths are coming as well, but that will be a bit later, the target is within a few months.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-02-13*

I really found it helpful

**Developer response:** Thank you! 🙏

### 5/5 — Couldn’t be better

*2026-01-07*

If you’re trying to learn GTO, how to play openings by position,handling 3-bets by position, pot odds or just general hand rankings then just replace this with your instagram/tiktok scrolling. Simple, effective.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the nice review, glad that it is helping! 🙏
Doomscrolling or poker training, that's the question!

### 5/5 — Best app I’ve tried!

*2025-11-21*

I’ve tried at least three or four different apps and this one seems to be the best by far.

I even emailed the support email a question and the founder responded to me so there’s great customer support.

I think it’s well worth the money if you plan on taking Poker serious.

Very well made app

**Developer response:** Thanks for the nice feedback! 🙏

### 5/5 — Great app, but 1 recommendation

*2025-09-29*

I’d like the ability to watch Picture in Picture whilst I learn. However, since there is no option to mute the sound FX, I am unable to do so.

**Developer response:** Thanks! 🙏 
There is an option to turn volume off, so you can listen while you practice. It is on the Account page.

### 5/5 — Poker Trainer Review

*2025-08-11*

I was a complete beginner before i used this app. The app is very good for beginners.

**Developer response:** Thank you! 🙏

### 5/5 — The best app

*2025-01-31*

This is one of the best poker apps for GTO training that I have seen. I highly recommend it to others who are taking their games seriously!

**Developer response:** Thank you! 🙏

### 5/5 — Best I've seen

*2024-07-16*

I've looked at every poker training app I can find, and this one is the best. A little overwhelming for a beginner, but it's got everything, and doesn't require you to pay before you can look at it.

**Developer response:** Thank you! 🙏

### 5/5 — Top

*2024-05-28*

Optimal zum trainieren 👍🏻

**Developer response:** Thank you! 🙏

### 4/5 — The Price is a major issue

*2026-07-16*

£6.99 a week is insane. Worth it? Too early to tell. Perhaps if you truly set your heart to learning a quality skill. However £6.99 a week for people just beginning is too much.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, I understand your concern. 

If the weekly price is a bit too high, there are other options to consider: monthly, yearly and lifetime. You might want to check those plans out as well. For long term users, those are definitely better.

If none of those meet your needs, you can start with the free plan and switch to premium later in your journey, when you play more seriously.

### 4/5 — New simulator

*2026-01-15*

Great App but this new simulator ruined the post flop exercise. I would like to disable seeing the hypothetical players cards and just see if I am making a good decision based on that board like the odd post flop exercise.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! 🙏
I understand what you mean – seeing opponent cards can distract from pure postflop decision training and slows down the process a little bit. 
A toggle to not show them is a great idea and something I’m considering. Appreciate you sharing this!
