### 4/5 — App is good for practice

*2026-08-17, version 4.0.1*

And checking hands while playing at a casino.  My main issue is the pop up advertising has too many phishing scams complete with links to click and phone numbers.  How about vetting who you let buy advertisements?

### 4/5 — No sound

*2025-12-02, version 4.0.1*

Great trainer app for VP. Just no sound. Need some sort of sound distraction to mimic casino environment lol

### 5/5 — Excellent and fun

*2023-05-22*

I find this one of the best training apps for video poker. It’s fun to play, lots of options, and lets you know when you get it wrong. The probabilities breakdown is excellent.

It would be great in the future to have the ability to track accuracy to the different strategies (e.g. basic, intermediate and advanced wizardofodds) instead of to perfect play. And/or to have minor errors not affect the streak.

### 4/5 — Great fast video poker trainer

*2023-05-10, version 3.8*

Fast gameplay, stat tracking and unobtrusive ads make this a winner. Only thing I would ask for that would make it 5 stars is the option to display tips on what I did wrong (like “Suited KQ or KJ beats Suited AK, AQ, or AJ”) so I don’t have to decipher the right play.

### 5/5 — Excellent Site Top Notch

*2022-11-15, version 3.8*

GREAT TRAINING SITE!!!! One of the Best……..

### 1/5 — Focus

*2022-01-24, version 3.5*

It charges games

### 4/5 — New issues 12/2021

*2021-12-07, version 3.5*

With the advent of iOS 15.1, this app no longer functions correctly.
Previously, a player could get game credit (“$30”) every 2-3 hrs, although it was not clear whether is was real time or playing time… since the timer was inconsistent. Now that feature does not work at all.  Still, as best I can tell (I have very high video poker expertise.) this I may be the best analyst and trainer app with regards to discard strategy.

This App has some nice features. This is my response to the developer’s post... below. The 800 lb gorilla in the room is whether the card dealing algorithms in this and other poker apps are “pure” and identical in outcome probabilities as the casino (certified) random card generators. App developers do not make “real money” off their free Apps, unlike the casinos (that profit because they have better odds than the players) unless developers induce you to buy add on “coins” or use inserted advertising. The training environment of this app is very good, possibly the most detailed and useful among the poker apps. With such training, and practice, one can reasonably be within 1% of perfect discard decisions. And, it appears to me that the training advice and associated statistics are accurate and applicable to casino play. I am fine with paying for the App that charges for their “training environment". It has can save/make you money in the casino,; and therefore has value. But, most Apple App/game customers want free Apps. So, the developers often try to “encourage “ cash outlays for game features. The developer has kindly responded to my questions concerning the integrity of the deal and draw; and states (below) that those are indeed random. But, random is not necessarily the same as an App yielding the EXACT deal/draw probabilities as the casino certified code does. A number of poker Apps manipulate (via "cheat code") the deal and/or draw to yield hand outcomes that are intended to increase the likelihood of you buying more "coins"... to the profit of the developer (and Apple, I suppose). Given Apple's generally high ethical standards, I am surprised that Apple does not require the developers to divulge and describe (or deny) "cheat code" (that has outcome probabilities that are DIFFERENT than that of "certified" casino dealing algorithms). Managing your money in a real casino is important, and experiencing realistic deal/draw probabilities are important in training... not just the discard strategy. In this game, it appears that the developer is true to the discard strategy, but the deal and draw codes may be “cheating/ corrupt”... designed to encourage you to buy “coins” or accept wasteful advertising.

### 5/5 — Excellent trainer app

*2021-11-28*

I’ve been using this app for about a week. It is well designed, simple to use and so helpful.  I know how to play poker and have done so for years, but never knew the probabilities for certain situations. This app tells you the optimal decision for 5 card draw as well as the strength of other potential decisions. I enjoy using it immensely and look forward to video poker in a real casino soon.

### 5/5 — Great learning tool

*2021-01-08, version 3.2*

This is a Great app!  
It gives you instant feedback about the play you are making. 
I use it to practice for going to the “real casino”

### 5/5 — Good to get this.

*2020-10-17, version 3.2*

It is fun to test your skills against this trainer. I have a video poker book that does vary from what this tells you to hold. Yet this app does a good job. People that are new to video poker should definitely use this app. Why not enjoy the game more.
