Push/fold apps for your phone
Push Fold Trainer is a browser-based alternative to these push/fold apps, with ICM ranges and scored practice against opponents who don't play GTO, and its chip-EV ranges are free with no account. Below are four apps on iOS and Android that give you shove and fold answers on a phone. They differ most on whether the ranges include ICM, what practice they offer, and what each tier unlocks.

Where Push Fold Trainer fits
Push Fold Trainer is not a phone app yet, apart from an Android closed beta. It runs in a phone browser, and it is built for study sessions rather than lookups at the table: solved chip-EV and ICM spots from 4bb to 30bb, served one decision at a time and scored, with preset opponent profiles to practise exploits against. If you want an answer between hands, one of the apps above will be quicker.

Push/fold apps: common questions
- Is there a free push/fold app?
- All four apps here are free to download. SnapShove's free tier gives one calculation a day with unlimited training simulations, and Preflop+ includes free drills, calculators and lookup charts before you subscribe. The other two list in-app purchases without saying on the listing which push/fold features are free.
- Which push/fold app has ICM?
- Of the four, ICM Trainer is the one built around ICM, with a library of solved bubble, late-stage and final-table spots. SnapShove's app ranges are chip-EV, though its website has a separate ICM equity calculator. The listings for Preflop+ and Poker Coaching do not mention ICM.
- Can I use a push/fold app at the table?
- That depends on the room. Check its rules on using a phone during play, and whether it allows charts or apps at all, before relying on one.
- Does Push Fold Trainer have an app?
- The web app runs in any phone browser, iPhone included. A native Android app is in closed beta, and there is no iOS app yet.
The chip-EV push/fold ranges here are free with no account, and they work in a phone browser.
