A small UI and maintenance update:
* Set the text size of the toolbars’ buttons in a cleaner way, so that the toolbars don’t overflow if you set the iOS system text size setting to a very large text size.
Thanks for your latest app reviews. If you like Poker Odds Teacher and our continuing work, please consider writing an App Store review, thanks!

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.
I play a weekly game that’s always dealer’s choice - Omaha, Stud, Cross Cross, Pash the Trash - basically anything but Hold ‘Em. I’ve gotten good but to get to the next level I needed practice calculating odds. This is the only app I’ve found that both teaches you and gives you practice calculating odds using outs. I’m sure this functionality is buried somewhere in many other Hold Em apps but this is perfect for learning how to calculate odds, implied equity, pot equity, etc. I would take points off for pretty bad UI (why a slider???, yellow font?) and it doesn’t baby you as it teaches the math, but it’s the only thing out there that will give me the constant practice on the train, waiting for elevator, etc to try to start beating the shark at my local table. THANK YOU!!
Way too complex it's like some geek wrote this app quickly and paid zero attention to ease of use and simplification. Looks like an app made before apps existed, horrible UI! I don't recommend it at all
Odds Teacher can be very confusing as a stand alone app. Getting the bundle is a must imho to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. UPDATE: Went back & tried to give it another shot w/response, but still found it clunky. Maybe instead of just providing ONLY one scenario hand example, offer the ability to change hands to make it more engaging, show what the outs are and what hands they would make up, calculate the outs & visually show the math with equity vs how it could be applied vs various pot odds instead of just an FAQ style page (which could basically sum everything up for the current design), and keep score or history like a game, for the example to reinforce the learning otherwise just knowing the well known rules of 4&2 is already enough. Also, learning from feedback instead of being overly defensive over the years may have led to a much better app, especially since there is a common trend among several reviews imho. Best of luck. Update: Sincerely appreciate dev response to concerns and ideas. Updated rating and initial comments accordingly. Even using odds quizzer, I’m often left scratching my head wondering what cards are being considered in the apps calculation when my estimate is graded wrong. Suggestion there might be to include the outs when the user answers 48%, but the correct answer is 64% and the grade is F, for example. Maybe I’m missing another info button like the Tutorial below that explains it? Maybe it would help to have a section under help that simply explains how best to use the app to get started, like look at the hand, then look for similar pre-flop matchups in tutorial to get the odds, etc. That’s when it started “clicking” for me a little. Thanks. Update: I sincerely appreciate the diligent correspondence from the developer to help me understand the scope of the apps that make up the bundle of three. At this point, the best suggestion I might offer might be to utilize our correspondence to create some form of better instructions to show how the three apps link together and how a new user, unfamiliar with their intended scope, should/would connect the dots from cradle to grave to save some time from others who might be willing to take the time to go down the rabbit hole and really try to learn this stuff. Again, thanks for sticking with me and best wishes. :-)
Exactly what i was looking for. I always wanted a good way to learn the poker odds and this app does a really good job teaching it. The methods are pretty intuitive. It allows you to approximate the odds on the go so that u wont have to memorize all the odds for many useful situations. Although i do plan on eventually memorizing all of them it is always nice to be able to double check the odds with this approximating method before commiting money to the pot. (10&8 method preflop and 4&2 method postflop) I do agree with a previous review that the slider needs to be fixed. I own all three of their apps and find them to be much more useful and learnable(?) than a regular poker book which i find a little boring. Good job to the developers. Thank you!
Only major issue is the slider. It needs to be fixed so it doesn't 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.
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.
This app has helped me improve my poker game since using it. I am faster and stronger at the tables
