Really Enjoy This App

This is a very enjoyable app on which to play bridge, and I especially like the ability to replay a hand, allowing you to improve your game or learn from your mistakes.

I enjoy using the app before going to bed. It helps me relax and forget about the day and enjoy myself before going to sleep. It’s an enjoyable app and helps me learn how to play bridge much better.
Unfair trade practices
BigHarry1
I, and many others, paid for the Pro version of this app. It was a good app, too. Then the developer changed it to a subscription app with no warning and no chance for us who paid for it to keep it as it was. So they simply took our money and pocketed it. That just isn’t right by any stretch of the imagination. Now they want more money to restore what we had already paid for. Shame, shame. I hope Apple looks into this.
Excellent bridge app

It’s difficult to know whether I should give this app 4 or 5 stars. It’s possible to greatly customize the bidding, I can use it to fill any empty moments anywhere or when. Negatively, on my iPhone too often the screen contracts, and I have to close and restart. But, I use it almost every day!
Great App

Apart from being able to play and practice for free I love to able to download my duplicate boards and replay them to learn from my mistakes - both bidding and playing.
Fantastic Bridge Learning and Practice Aid!

This app is the best one on the App Store for learning bridge that I have found by far! I can enter and customize the bidding conventions for me. As a beginner, it is great to have bidding customizable to the conventions I play. It will also download the boards from my club game! Took me a little exploring to find the boards in pbn format in thecommongame website, but it worked great! Also, the game generates bidding and play hints from the boards, and the hint system actually describes why the bid or play choice is recommended. Please keep up the good work, much appreciated. I'm telling my bridge friends about this one!
Excellent app

This app has many features that are helpful to duplicate bridge players - lets you choose your conventions from a list, bidding style, and many more. Love its ability to give you hints, and the rationale, whether in bidding or playing. You can turn it off if you do not want it. It also allows one to play any position after the bidding. At the click of a button you can choose to see all cards, or not. I have not yet used the internet capabilities, but it sounds good.
