Hey everyone, I know there's countless Blackjack apps out there, but I made a free app with features that many of the other apps either make you pay for outright, or use forced interstitial or banner ads, or make you pay for chips or some other BS.
My app is called Steve's Blackjack Trainer Pro and it's available for free on iOS and Android.
I wanted to focus on clean graphics and many of the features I noticed people asked for.
I also have some stat tracking that gives you feedback on how you're playing in the current session.
I'm a one man team and I've been working on this app for a while now. I launched in October but didn't get much traction, so I'm trying to post to reach my audience. Please let me know any and all feedback, any bugs, issues, or requests for future features and I'll try to address everything that comes my way! Being a one person team means I'm pretty nimble at this, so simple requests for features can be added somewhat easily (depending on the request of course).
Cheers!

- regular blackjack mode that lets you customize many of the table rules and UI display to how you like (shoe size, deck penetration, dealer hit soft 17, BJ payout, show current Hi/Lo count, etc)
- deck peak/audit feature that lets you view all upcoming cards for the dealer and player ensuring that there's no funny business going on behind the scenes
- multiple training modes for quizzing you on your strategy adherence or basic Hi/Lo card counting (this is relatively simple so far but if people want to see me expand this I'm happy to add on to the Card Counting drills)
- simulation mode that lets the game auto play based on optimal strategy and giving you the ability to set different Wong in/out values. Honestly just fun to see thousands of hands being simulated in real time (also willing to make this mode robust if there's enough people wanting it)
- tutorial mode that explains some of the basic meant for brand new players
- arcade mode since I'm a gamer at heart and wanted to add something similar to Vegas Stakes on the SNES, also comes with Leaderboards
I also have some stat tracking that gives you feedback on how you're playing in the current session.

I just downloaded it - I will play it on the subway and get back to you in a few days.

First impression:
Well done! Much better than any app I could make (none).
Unfortunately there is some glitch so Free Play and Arcade Mode aren't dealing me any cards, which prevents me from giving too much advice. From what I briefly saw, the strategy chart/advice was inaccurate for some rulesets.
If I were you, I would add many more potential blackjack rules such as Double After Split, Re-splitting Aces, ENHC, # of splits, etc.
Additionally, maybe future versions of the app could include popular side bets or introduce alternative counting systems.

Hey thank you so much for playing!
In Free Play mode or Arcade mode are you able to bet chips at all? Once you bet, the "Deal" button should pop up - that will help me understand where to look a little better!
Right now I just have the strategy chart for basic strategy, but I'm hoping to adjust the chart to accommodate the changes you can make on the fly such as dealer standing on soft 17 and card count.
Those are all good suggestions! I plan on adding all of those features so that it can be completely customizable, in addition to adding the side bets since I personally love betting them like 3 card hand
