Reprogram please

Wuk10708

Cards are not random. Count becomes ridiculously negative very quickly. Should be programmed as if taken from a shoe of cards. Not a realistic representation of real black jack hands. Not good practice at all.

Good when it works

Tcheat

Crashes constantly. Works well when it works, but needs bugs worked out. Also, for counting, it would be great to deal multiple hands and simulate a casino experience.

Good Tool

Great Dad

Great tool to practice basic strategy, as well as the ability to learn to count cards.

Cards are Random from a Shoe

GameDev-PepperDogSoft

To the previous reviewer, the cards are drawn from a randomly generated shoe based on the number of decks set in the configuration screen. If you are using Targeted training then yes it is random and the trainer tells you this when you start up the training mode. So before you post a review please know the facts.

great app

Great app. helps you learn systems to play black jack better. interface is easy to follow. does not crash like other have stated.

Almost Perfect

Very nice! Would be the ultimate except for two things I've noticed: (1) True count divides by full decks. It needs to have the option to calculate true count by dividing by the number of half decks left (i.e. with 6 decks remaining, divide by 12, with 5 and a half decks left, divide by 11, etc.). I play a strategy that uses this method so without this option, I can only use this app to practice counting. Practicing betting and playing strategy are useless which means I can only practice 1 of the 3 elements of counting; (2) In the action menu, there needs to be a stand/hit option. If there is one, I can't find it. This is used for every player hand 12-16 against any dealer card 2-6 and a few other places. If these changes are made, I would give this app a big 5 stars!

nice

Must have

This is "must have" app for everyone who practice card counting! Very useful and flexible in set up. Looking forward for new updates and improvements!

Needs counting drill tweak

Jeffj2h

This is an excellent Basic Strategy drill and counting drill program. I use a slightly modified KO count and I was able to adjust the index values and Initial Running Count in the app. I have no complaint on the Basic Strategy drill. I believe the counting drill needs a tweak: allow the user to see a programmable number of cards (e.g. 10) then ask "what is the count?". Also allow the user to program how fast those 10 cards will flash on the screen and if the user wants 1 card to flash at a time or 2 cards at a time. That better simulates what happens when a dealer deals hands to a table and the player has to quickly scan a lot of cards. Currently the program shows a player hand and dealer up card and asks "what is the count?". Then repeats. However I would say the programmers know a lot about Blackjack, as seen in the configurability of this program. Great job.

Needs focused practice sessions

This is a great card counting app, there are numerous enhancements I would love to see. (1) keep timing statistics on each triplet so the player can determine which hands they're bogging down on (2) keep good/bad/timing statistics across sessions (overall statistics) and allow user to track how they're improving on problem hands (3) add a drill mode for basic strategy, many triplets come up infrequently using a normal shuffled deck so add a mode that drills on learning the basic strategy by displaying random triplets (yes, card counting at this level is useless, but for a beginner, attempting to count the cards is useless anyway until the basic strategy is nailed) (4) modify drills to increase probability of displaying triplets where there are problem areas (5) allow multi-card drills rather than just triplet drills, this is true for both basic strategy and card counting that player will have more than two cards played out once they hit/split and correct strategy requires knowing the secondary plays after a successful hit. Thanks for the great app, and I hope to see more of these features going forward.
