BlackJack Trainer Lite for Android
* NOTE THIS APP USES EUROPEAN EARLY SURRENDER RULES, WHICH IS INCORRECT FOR MOST U.S. GAMES (VEGAS) WHICH USES LATE SURRENDER. The strategy it teaches are wrong. Way too many surrenders. You always split 88, never surrender. Do not learn from this app, it will cost you. 4/23/17 edit: "Whether you should surrender or not actually depends on the rules" The app assume early surrender/no peek for BJ, which is rare in the U.S. Using that strategy on late surrender casinos (much more common) would surrender too many hands and incorrect. Once you know dealer doesn't have Blackjack (late surrender dealer checks first), it's better to just play those hands out.
Perfect for what I needed and was looking for to practice for my Vegas trip. Fun!
Awesome!!
For a complete newbie like me the Practice section is really helpful.
I started winning money at the casinos after what thus app taught me
What good is a strategy app when it's full of surrenders? I have never played at a casino that utilizes surrender. I believe they take advantage of this to get you to pay to update to the pro version, so what's the point? Otherwise I would love this app.
The constant pop ups killed it. I can't concentrate on what I'm doing when every other hand is, "advertise us on facebook", "buy the app", plus I would accidently hit "yes" and it would open apps I didn't want costing me phone data. So I really kinda don't know how I feel about it because I never could get in the groove. Also had the pro app not been $6 I would have instantly bought it. What I see from the demo I cannot justify $6. It says "upgrade for less than a minimum bet" ironically a min bet is $5.
Excellent app! Great way to practice. Seems like a lot of people are upset over the rules, especially surrender. Just like the app says, upgrade to pro for less than a minimum bet. Support the app so it can get better! I'm definitely upgrading.
Advises the user to surrender 8s against a 10 instead of splitting. On a $100 bet, the expected loss of hitting a 16 is $54. Obviously you don't do that. The expected loss of surrendering is $50. The expected loss of splitting 8s against a 10 is only $48. Mathematically, the best move is to split 8s. Google it if you don't believe me.
Not sure what rules they are basing moves on but they suggest a lot of surrenders and did not want to split 8s against a jack. Never so an odds chart with that play. Maybe ok for total beginner but if I wanted to learn the game I would want to learn it the right way.
Being a first time blackjack player this app has been super useful the app design is really user friendly and I have been able to learn alot just by using this app for 2 - 3 hours a day. I'm moving from the lite version today and getting the full complete version. I think its more than worth it!
Almost all sources disagree with this apps love for surrender. Please adjust
Surrender a pair of 8's against a 10? Really? Where did you get your play book?

Really nice to learn the basics
Great program!

Nice application to learn how to play blackjack, it will be better if you could use chips so it could look close to the real table
Have to buy full version to edit settings. This version has surrendered which aren't even in most US casinos. Game can also not be played in portrait mode.
I love this app.
It's a good training app
That's all?

App has no option to move to SD card on my Blu Studio phone. Other apps move easily.

Why offer the free mode if you can't get anything done here. Might as well not offer it at all so I won't have to waste my time on this
