Great choice
eric4867
Great app for beginners and intermediates alike. You can pick your counting system as well. One useful feature would be to break out the speed counting so that we could practice it as a standalone module.
Where is the option to switch from hi-lo?
rick4567
I bought this because it says there are different counting systems besides hi-lo. I wanted this app because it says knockout card counting system was available to play.
Challenge level flaw please fix +|-52
A7Beast
Great practice App for simple count +- or high low one level. But for 3 level system with higher card values, like 5+3, T-3. App Caps out at RC +/- 52. So using challenge level is good for most simple high/low guys, but not 3 level guys. After plowing through 60 levels and posting a 600k score, is fine for practice but won't allow you to beat a 2M high low user. But still a fantastic app. Wish that this had been around 35 years ago when I learned.
Major bug
yadamehblah
I like this app, it does what it’s supposed to. However the range of counts is limited to +/- 52, this is not a problem if the game is also programmed to have counts stay within this range. I have tried Zen, HiLo and Omega 2 and have had counts go beyond the 52 range in challenge mode and thereby forcing me to forfeit, it’ll be nice to have this fixed.
Zero Stars

I’ve tried multiple times to contact some for help with the issue and simply can’t contact anyone at all . Do NOT pay for this app, it doesn’t have all the features it says it does after you pay for it . Complete garbage !!! I’ll be filing a fraud report with my credit card company to get my cash back . So annoying having to deal with junk every time with apple
Custom not quite there
WhatFuckingNameIsntTaken?
I bought this solely to add the basic KISS count as a custom count, but since the app doesn't differentiate a 10 versus a face card, it was a complete waste and I'll never use it AND I had to pay for it. If you want to just learn Hi-Lo, fine, but there are better apps for it than this. The one feature that made it unique wasn't fully implemented.
Need option to slow down on medium
Top Jimmy J
There is too big of a jump for the skill level between easy and medium. It would be helpful to be able to slow down the cards on medium until you get faster.
Amazing!
Pompei77
Can select many counting systems, and even create your own. Tests your skill level from Easy-Expert. Nice Job!

Incremental, customizable training
superblyducky
Love this app. I love that the levels incrementally go up in difficulty (easy, medium, hard, expert). The snappy (fast) performance is great, too. The commentary posted on the home screen and the monetary scoring scheme are fun features as well. I am so happy this supports the KO counting system as well. Desired features: I wish there was another level between medium and hard, and that there was more randomness to what configuration of cards come next. A next-level feature would support actual blackjack gameplay functionality (and would be worth a few extra dollars as well). Conclusion: A great app, and additional features would push it over the top!
