Ratings and reviews

Overall it is a very good game. However, with the the default settings east/west get 80% of the cards. Over several days, I have had very few hands to bid. I mostly pass. It doesn't seem very random. For that reason I am thinking about removing it!! Update: I tried it again but ended up removing it. There is an ad after every hand which is annoying. Also North's bidding is poor. It opens hands without any playing tricks and is very very conservative. It's defense ignores my signals.

It is a pleasure playing bridge with this app. I played rubber bridge for many years in the 1980's/1990's but seldom since. This app is a great way to learn the new modern bidding system as it has the capability to explain all bids and all possible responses. Opponents can be set at various levels of expertise. this app is easy on the eyes even on a cell phone. Enjoy!

This is a good app for beginners and intermediate players. I like the feature of being able to reolay a hand to see how bidding or offense could be improved. Defense is hard to get right, but the developers have done a good job. Your partner is consistent, but wooden. I don't observe this improving after plqying a lot of hands, so unclear what the neural net is for.
