Best Type of VP Trainer

Honestly most of the VP trainers here and at WoO give my computer trouble - maybe just because it's just an old computer. I hope it's not because all the rage now is apps for smartphones and no one cares about the ones that are supposed to work on a browser anymore.
But I have found I like a feature I found elsewhere better anyway - ones that give you the difficult decisions as an option. Once a player gets proficient enough on a strategy to be correct on nearly all decisions, it largely comes down to getting the hard decisions right, no?
I have found the following one very useful. The best way to use it, I think, is to pick 'hard mode' and guess at the correct answer while selecting the second best answer much of the time - you then get the EV for both ways [if you select the correct answer you don't get the comparison]

The problem I have with VPW (other than the obvious), is it doesn't give you random hands from an actual random deck, so there are many hands that you never see on it. For me to learn a new game its a lot easier to just start playing hands and letting it correct me, then I can figure out the proper strategy. Strategy charts are all wonky anyway. Plus, with random cards it gives you a feel for how the game actually plays out in real life.
It also doesn't have quick quads nor UX, which is quite a shame.
