Blackjack Strategy Practice in IOS

★★★★★ Almost Perfect

This is a great app. The interface is snappy and easy to learn. The statistics are useful. I love the ability to change rulesets, focus on certain hands, and review hand history. A few things are keeping it from a perfect five-star rating. First, an error: Basic strategy says (under most rules) to surrender a 15 against a dealer’s ten. But the app says to surrender against a dealer’s ace, which is incorrect. Please fix that error. Second, it would be super useful to let users create customized basic strategy cards. That feature would be ideal for advantage players (a.k.a. card counters) who want to practice certain deviations at a given count. For instance, I could create a basic strategy card for when the true count equals +4, and practice the deviations that arise in that situation. It also would be a nice workaround for any unintentional errors that the developers made in creating the stock basic strategy cards (like the 15 vs. Ace surrender error above). Third, and relatedly, it would be great to have a feature that shows a random “true count” and expects you to play the correct deviation. Again, this is a feature that would really appeal to advantage players. All in all, a great app, with some room for improving the features that card counters would find useful. A bit more focus on those users, and you might grow (and retain) a dedicated base of fee-paying subscribers.
