This has to be the most confusing app ever! The developer knows Texas Holdem all right but fails miserably in trying to get his point across. Ive had this app for over a year and every time I try to learn something with it I give up. Honestly, if the explanations on how to do the calculations were much clearly and eloquent I would be willing to pay four times the price that I paid.
Estimation application downloads and cost
Description

*** Pay once and enjoy forever ***
No in-app purchases/fees.
Continual improvement for many years.

Note:
(1)
This is a challenging app. You need to be pretty good at doing basic math operations in your head. For example, what’s the value of:
16% * 20%
We’ve added a “Math” help button to show you how to calculate this in your head. One way is, 20% means one-fifth. One-fifth of 16% is (16% / 5), which is a little more than 3%. 3.2% to be exact. Or, convert to decimals, multiply, then convert back to %age’s.
(2)
This app uses specific hand situations, and some people don’t see the value in this because in real life play we don’t know our opponents’ cards. There’s still value in specific hand situations, because they’re the building blocks that we can use to put together and estimate the odds for more complex hand range situations. For example every good player should know the odds for specific hand situations like AJ vs. QQ pre-flop, or FlushDraw vs. TopPair on the flop. Our other apps e.g. PokerCruncher handle both specific hands and hand ranges.

Poker trainers, odds tables, etc. are useful tools but do they help you learn why the odds are what they are or are you just memorizing specific situations? And you can’t use these tools or odds/equity calculators in the middle of a live hand (would you really want to?; could be a “fish” tell :)). This app takes a new and different approach to poker odds - understanding instead of memorizing, so you can handle any situation that comes your way.
Our odds estimation method is a pretty simple 3-step procedure. First you count your outs and estimate your odds of improving (using for example the "Rule of 4&2"; this app shows you how). Then you consider your opponent’s counter-outs. Then you put the two together to come up with a good odds estimate.
We’ve provided about 20 common and important pre-flop and post-flop scenarios for you to practice the method on. This app will take you through the 3 steps for each practice scenario, one screen per step, and will make sure that you’re on track towards a good odds estimate each step of the way, correcting you if needed. We’ve provided info/help buttons for each sub-step.
You might be thinking, how can you cover a game as complex as Texas Hold’em in 20 scenarios? Well, we agree, you can’t! But this app is about learning a general method not many specific situations, and we picked these 20 scenarios to cover a good cross-section of common and important pre-flop and post-flop situations. If you understand how to calculate the odds for say one generic TopPair vs TopPairTopKicker scenario or one representative Pair vs LowerPair pre-flop scenario, you’ll be able to apply your knowledge to other similar situations easily.
Now, we’re not saying that you’re going to master this in 5 or 10 minutes. You’re going to have to practice the method more than a few times, think about the outs and counter-outs, and do simple math operations in your head - basic +, -, *, /; let’s not let our math teachers down :). We hope you feel that acquiring this odds skill and knowledge is more than worth the learning/practice time.

Waste of time!
Too complicated.
I do admit to being a newbe so perhaps I should have known. Curious what experienced players think.
limited information, not to bad
this app is not to bad, however it only gives the odds on a limited amount of hands. for example each for each lesson you would have to pick a preset hand scenario, like AA vs AK. I found the selection is to limited. for example there is no lesson to learn the odds on 1010 vs 44, however through each of the lessons you will learn how to calculate the odds for each scenario by learning the formula, so all in all it is worth the money, if you have an understanding of basic math. this is a tool to learn the formula, not memorize every scenario you might come across. there is the ability to learn both pre and post flop odds.
Fix the slider please
Only major issue is the slider. It needs to be fixed so it doesnt crash to the side of the screen. It is too sensitive as well. Pinpointing a specific number is tough. Adding more situations would be nice too.
Not very good
This app is not for begginers. It doesnt explain the theory very well. What the creaters define as "outs" should be further clarified. Dont waste your money.
Waste of time
This will teach you less than an intro Holdem book. Not for experienced players at all
Odds vs %
Seems like odds would make more sense than percentages. Would be nice if you explained how the odds should match pot or implied odds when deciding what to do.
