I’ve Been Cheated!
JimB77

On 12/3/2019 I purchased iBridge Baron Gold for $19.99. I still have a copy of the advertising literature which exactly states,“$19.99 covers playing against the computer for life.” There is no expiration date on that purchase yet the company killed this product when it issued a new version that costs $4.99 per month! They could have left the old version in place while selling the new version to new customers. When I complained about this to the vendor I was coldly told that “the product has been replaced.” Not only is it now impossible to reinstall the original version (even though I have purchased it for life) but they even sabotaged the app so it will no longer run at all! This is a criminal violation of the contract and agreement at the time of my purchase. I have looked at the new version and it is functionally the same as the old version when it comes to playing against the computer. There is no need for an upgrade. This is unforgivable and I encourage everyone to have nothing to do with Great Game Products or this app.

can’t see all of the cards

when playing in tournament mode the screen is too small and i can only see 10 of south’s cards. unable to bid.

I want the app I purchased back

How can you justify removing access to an app I paid $20 for? I want the bridge baron lifetime app I paid for back.

Unplayable

Just downloaded. Center graphics with possible bids covers half my cards. I have 30 day free trial and will CX if not fixed. Previous version bought years ago did not do that. Cannot play this!

Zero stars!

Already bought it and now can't play it? Then send my money back. Worst marketing decision of all time when BBO is free. Restore my purchase please or refund me!

DON’T PAY$4.99!

These folks are crooks. Sold us $20.00 ‘lifetime’ apps (I paid twice) which no longer work. Why? So they can charge a greedy monthly $4.99 subscription fee. Either grandfather us in, or rebate our $20.00. Failing that, it’s fraud. Buyer beware. Oh, by way, so NOT worth $60 a year. You’ll be disappointed.

Only one complaint
woogie 1000

This is an outstanding game. Best ever. My complaint is I paid about $25. For it several years ago. I assumed that $25 bought me my own copy of their program. I used it without asking them for any support. I thought it was mine. But without warning they yanked off my program thst I had bought fair and square and said hello dummy you just thought that program was yours. If you want to use it you have to start paying us $4.99 per month to use your own program which is on your own phone. How can they do that? They are Barons alright. They should change their name from bridge Baron to Robber Baron. There oughta be a law for crooks like that. The “guvment” should do something. Haha.

Just paid for upgrade, now blocked until I subscribe again
Bad Deal 55

I just paid for an upgraded subscription a couple of months ago, with the recent app upgrade, I am now required to pay again and subscribe monthly. Used to love Bridge Baron, no longer. The $19.99 I paid earlier this summer was a scam!!! I am not falling for this constant change in billing any more. They should reevaluate they billing method

Feel scammed
HopSkip21

I had purchased a lifetime version about six months ago. Without my approval, it upgraded to the subscription version. Very troubling. I do not understand how this is possible. I did not authorize or want the upgrade. And how dare you push this out without approval! Even more troubling - when I checked the description for the current version in the App Store - it says nothing about a subscription in the description. I will not be paying one cent in subscription fees! What a scam!
