    I like the use of flash cards. Been using this app off & on for less than a day and I'm already looking forward to playing at casino.

    I wish I would have found this app 2 months ago when I started my knowledge and strategy quest about all that is Blackjack. I kept finding basic info about it everywhere I looked but I have to say that this app has put me in a whole other level of understanding now after studying this. Great app.
  • Great app.

  • Erroneous info

    The concept is good, but some of the answers provided as basic strategy are just flat out wrong for any normally found variants of Blackjack. The app said that I should double a soft hand against a dealer 7. I don't know of any blackjack game where basic strategy says to double any soft hand against a dealer 7. The app also said that I should surrender a hard 17 against a dealer face card. Again, never seen any basic strategy for any number of decks that suggests surrendering a hard 17. I stopped after several errors like these. The recommendations provided here would push the house advantage to a ridiculous level. Not recommended for learning proper basic strategy.

    Definitely helped me learn when to hit, stay, split, etc with repetition and you pick up the patterns/theory after a while.
  • Solid app

    This app alone emphasizes rote memorization of optimal plays, all else equal. In conjunction with a smattering of blackjack strategy and card counting, it can be very useful.

    Not a game. It's more like flashcards on steroids to drill your head on the best plays in a standard game of Blackjack. Of course, if they are not shuffling after each deck, you'll probably want to learn how to count cards, too. But this app is SOLID for memorizing the fundamentals. Get it while it's free.
