Ratings and reviews

very enjoyable. Easy to jump right in. Plays just like the real game. Your opponents make sensible moves. I love the option at the end of each hand to replay it. I don't use it to cheat. I love the strategy in seeing how I could do things differently in the hand to make my bid, especially a high bid. This really forces you to think outside the box to reach that bid goal. I like the flexibility allowed in the settings. The banner ad at the bottom is not distracting.

Previous app "Contract Whist" stopped working (Android) after years of enjoyment. Was surprised that I ended up likithis one enough to purchase, but I play a lot. Only odd thing I noticed is that, if you have a hand dealt, then exit, then go back on later, it deals a new hand, different from the one you had.

This is the only game I play on my phone on a regular basis. Would you add another option in scoring? That is when the number of tricks taken are less than the number of bids, the score should be minus ten, ten, minus the number of bits. For example: if someone bids three and took less than three tricks, the score should be minus thirteen.
