Crazy bidding
Tired of bad bids
Most of this program is quite good, including the package of past world-wide tournaments that can be replayed. However, the computer bidding is atrocious. Not only are the opening bids unsound at times, but the program cannot accurately describe the meaning of its bids. Play of the hand is pretty good, but the computer ignored count signals, especially in ruff-in situations.
Not impressed
Rocco forte
1. Bidding system inflexible to setup 2. Little control over bidding by Robot - making it really unusable. Ex: Robot opens, I bid new suit, robot passes. Huh? All the hand analysis is wonderful, I suppose, but if it's not bid right, who cares?
Who's the dummy?

Overall, a good app. Nice set of features. Like the hints. However, 1. In general, the UI could be better. In particular, the four color deck is more confusing then the regular deck, it is easy to tap the wrong card sometimes, and at times it takes a few taps to get a response. 2. Makes some really dumb bids and bid suggestions and really stupid plays. 3. Crashes at least once every time I use it.
Needs Work On Solo Play

Great interface with no glitches. More in App tutorials would be helpful. Solo play against the AI isn't this Apps strong suit. Unfortunate for me because I shelled out $20 bucks for unlimited random deals to have a decent AI to practice against. The robots make some pretty off the wall bids at times. I need to change North's bids about 25% of the time. Also, I'm pretty sure that their "high quality robots " cheat. Their playing pattern clearly indicates that they know each other's as well as their opponents hands!! Still, it really keeps me on my toes ? I haven't played the online tournaments so, I can't comment on that. Still a new App and it has potential which is why I gave it 3 stars.
Great until most recent update

My dad played tournament bridge since before I was born and had me holding 13 cards in my hand at age 6 (I am a small woman with small hands as an adult). After my parents divorced I learned the basics of bridge but never got to put in the time to get good. My husband and I got married 5 years ago and in that time we have both tried to brush up on bridge skills but had trouble finding other people to play who didn't already have people to play with. Then we found shark bridge a couple weeks ago and suddenly we were both so motivated and able to learn. It was thrilling. We were saving hands to talk over with my dad at Thanksgiving left and right. It seriously made bridge so much of a more attainable goal for us and we were delighted. And then we updated the app. Now we cannot use it at all. We have an incessant pop up for everything we click that says we must pay 19.99 to use the app at all. Why? Why would you do this to us? We are graduate students on pittance stipends. We don't have $40 a year to pay for bridge. Honestly I would write it off as a greedy world except we can't even access the hands we saved to show my dad for thanksgiving. That made it personal, guys. :( please make it so we can play again!! Please?!
Daily Tournaments

Best part is the daily tournaments. Tough hands and instructive play. Robots could be better. I am also impressed with the care that comes from the staff. I have brought up several problems with robot bidding. They are always prompt with answers and very courteous.
At last a learning game!

I really enjoy games, but I feel guilty when I play them. Since my husband and I play duplicate often, I can justify my game playing as "study!" I love that. This is a good program. I only wish I could count cards better. I do find my partner difficult. He won't play negative double and often leaves me in my second suit when he has better cards in my first suit. It is extremely easy to hit the wrong key
