BlackJack Teacher Pro (21 Pro)

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.

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!

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.
