Blackjack Hi-Lo Card Counting – Strategy Game Review
Blackjack Hi-Lo Card Counting is a Strategy/Card game from Double Down Software LLC (MI), first launched in 31st October 2022.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 10+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Blackjack Hi-Lo Card Counting Stand Out
Designed as a serious practice tool for novices and pros, and playable as a Blackjack game.
Many beginners are intimidated by counting because it is difficult at the start. Eventually it becomes second nature. But even then, most players are intimidated by more advanced play. It is difficult to get started and to know if the advanced techniques are used correctly. This app focuses on moving step by step to progress over time.
Strategies: This app supports High-Low (Hi-Lo, HILO). There are two sets of charts for dealer hits soft 17, and dealer stands soft 17. Charts are 100% editable.
Drills: Playing the game is fun, but drills are where you nail down accurate play. Numerous options are provided for each drill. For all levels of players – novice through pro.
Optimize your time: Hands are not thrown at you completely randomly. More difficult hands are presented more often. You can be drilled on four-card hands, which are substantially more difficult than two-card hands. For counting practice, the shoe can be biased toward a positive or negative count to increase difficulty.It will remember errors you have made and present you with those hands. Speeds can be increased beyond the speed of human dealers. These features are designed to make better use of your time.

Community Insight:
Highly recommend if you want to have a chance when you go to the casino. Learn the system. Study and when you are ready go make some money.
One of the most powerful blackjack apps. Has everything you need in terms of drills. Much more powerful than many others that offer only a portion of the capability. The only one that comes close isnt on the App Store. Amazing tool created by the developer.
A nice app for practicing blackjack. Definitely worth the small investment.
This thing only wants you to practice Hi-Lo. We have it set to notify us when we make a basic strategy error and the insurance deviation for the superior system, FELT, sometimes does not line up with Hi-Lo. The issue is that when this app warns you that are about to not buy insurance at a true 3, there is no way around it! So many times am we forced to buy insurance because when we click "continue" on the warning, it buys the insurance. When we click "fix", it offers us insurance again. When we click "no", the glitch repeats itself. Then we lose the side bet and feel upset that this app thinks that the only system we are practicing is Hi-Lo.
