Bergen Bridge

This app is perfect for the bridge player who wants to improve his/her playing skills. When you are playing the deal but don’t play or defend perfectly, you will get a message explanation what you should have done. You also have the option to let the program ask you questions about the play. Every bridge player should ask these questions themselves before playing a card. By answering the questions you will learn the best approach. Once you are used to asking yourself these type of questions, you will have made a big step in improving your play and becoming a better opponent.

Horrible App
LA Confidential 54

I can't believe the charge on this app-- I thought I would at least play hands for some practice. You are asked questions, then given answers but with no explanations. There's no play involved, & the program is vague & poorly developed. According to the description, Mr. Bergen is right there with you to explain correct choices-- not hardly. It's amazing how some developers (if you could even give them that title) are allowed to simply take advantage of someone's desire to learn. So far I've been pretty pleased with most apps I've purchased; however, this will be the last time I purchase an app from the App Store.
