Card Counter is a specialized educational game designed to teach real-world Blackjack card counting. Based on techniques used by professional players, the app features multiple game modes including Tutorial, Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert. It helps players track the 'Running Count' and 'True Count' across multiple decks, featuring Game Center leaderboards to track progress against others.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Card Counter is less of a 'game' and more of a high-intensity training simulator for anyone serious about Blackjack. It takes real-world card counting techniques—like the Hi-Lo system—and breaks them down into digestible, practice-oriented levels. It’s surprisingly effective at building the mental muscle memory required to track a deck in a fast-paced environment.
The app progresses through several modes, starting with a tutorial and moving up to an 'Expert' challenge that mimics a real casino pace. One minor gripe is that the UI for beginners can be punishing; miscounts sometimes trigger pop-ups that obscure the screen, which can be jarring. However, as an 'Essential App' according to AppAdvice, its utility is unmatched. It doesn't teach you how to play Blackjack or manage money, but it masters the niche of counting better than any other trainer available.

The app primarily teaches the Hi-Lo system where cards 2-6 are +1, 7-9 are 0, and 10-Ace are -1. Practice maintaining the total as cards fly by.
Gameplays
In Expert and Challenge modes, the speed increases and multiple decks are used, requiring high concentration to maintain an accurate count.

Incremental, customizable training
Thu May 03 2018 superblyduckyLove this app. I love that the levels incrementally go up in difficulty (easy, medium, hard, expert). The snappy (fast) performance is great, too. The commentary posted on the home screen and the monetary scoring scheme are fun features as well. I am so happy this supports the KO counting system as well. Desired features: I wish there was another level between medium and hard, and that there was more randomness to what configuration of cards come next. A next-level feature would support actual blackjack gameplay functionality (and would be worth a few extra dollars as well). Conclusion: A great app, and additional features would push it over the top!
Great app to improve card counting skills
Tue Jan 02 2018 Luisroa1286Great app to improve card counting skills, I have used this app for a couple weeks and my skills counting card has increased a lot I highly recommend this app for those who wants to bring the hose down. FOR DEVELOPERS I think would be awesome if you could add a multi hand blackjack game with 2 trough 6 decks shoe to be playing blackjack and practicing the card counting to practice how to bet in each game depending in the true count I mean would be like the expert level 2 Playing blackjack, betting, counting and having that voice asking you What’s the count now? And correcting you if your count is bad. Sorry for the grammar but y try to write as god as I can, my English is no to good XD THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME APP
Amazing app
Tue Feb 27 2024 MarfulstiltskinFantastic design with ability to switch between counting systems and even use your own custom. Very challenging at the high levels and great for practicing speed quicker than you will see in the casinos
Well done!
Sat Jul 16 2016 Ramador565Enjoy the humor and increasing levels of difficulty. Also, it's nice to not have a couple hundred playing cards all over the place.
Challenge level flaw please fix +|-52
Thu Jan 09 2020 A7BeastGreat practice App for simple count +- or high low one level. But for 3 level system with higher card values, like 5+3, T-3. App Caps out at RC +/- 52. So using challenge level is good for most simple high/low guys, but not 3 level guys. After plowing through 60 levels and posting a 600k score, is fine for practice but won't allow you to beat a 2M high low user. But still a fantastic app. Wish that this had been around 35 years ago when I learned.
Major bug
Sun Nov 11 2018 yadamehblahI like this app, it does what it’s supposed to. However the range of counts is limited to +/- 52, this is not a problem if the game is also programmed to have counts stay within this range. I have tried Zen, HiLo and Omega 2 and have had counts go beyond the 52 range in challenge mode and thereby forcing me to forfeit, it’ll be nice to have this fixed.
Zero Stars
Wed Nov 28 2018 MarkHen33I’ve tried multiple times to contact some for help with the issue and simply can’t contact anyone at all . Do NOT pay for this app, it doesn’t have all the features it says it does after you pay for it . Complete garbage !!! I’ll be filing a fraud report with my credit card company to get my cash back . So annoying having to deal with junk every time with apple
Where is the option to switch from hi-lo?
Tue Jan 28 2020 rick4567I bought this because it says there are different counting systems besides hi-lo. I wanted this app because it says knockout card counting system was available to play.
