2024-10-18 | Mike Jerry | Excellent game for an AI based app! Great hints for learners. Nicely customizable parameters for getting it to deal you the hands that you want to practice. Is it perfect? Of course not. But the support is quite responsive if you run into problems or questions. Don't understand the folks complaining about the ads. In the help menu you can pay one inexpensive price to never see ads again in this app on any of your devices. | |
2022-05-19 | Brittany Barker | Helpful for learning biding conventions, however the AI is terrible playing on defense such as not returning partners (your) lead suit, playing high when ducking is called for, etc. It's best for leaning to bid, what the options are and what each bid means, but it's not intuitive at actually paying the hands, and in my experience actually emphasizes the wrong way to play, so I took 2 stars off. | |
2022-04-09 | James Trogman | Good screen layout, good play options, good tailoring features. It provides good learning and practicing opportunities by allowing one to step back and redo the previous play or even the whole game. The game plays reasonably well, but is excessively slow in playing a card when configured to play certain options. Partner rarely returns opening lead, which can be frustrating, especially when I keep telling him this and he won't listen. | |
2022-03-06 | Shriram Narayanan | 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. | |
2022-02-16 | Michael Strode | Really strong bridge app. Explains the conventions it's using, plays smoothly. My two quibbles: 1) app doesn't remember my "don't show this again" choices about tips in between play sessions, and 2) wish I could reorient dummy's hand to match my hand, as far as high to low. A bit disorienting as is. But great game overall. (Edit - developer says they're working on the first, and that UI settings fix the second. I see an advanced UI setting for sorting South's hand, but not for sorting North's hand low to high; it's always high to low, which is a little odd to me. But again, great game, nice of the developers to reach out.) | |
2022-01-22 | Patrick Smith | Generally the play is good. However, on more than a few occasions on defending, the app ignores basic signalling or prior bids. This allows a contract to make that shouldn't. Sometimes during competitive bidding, as my partner, the app will not show support for my suit even with 4 or more.12/20/19- One other item that is annoying. My computer partner can have a bust hand and passes my repeated takeout doubles below the 3 level.1/22/22-No improvement since earlier review. | |
2021-11-19 | Paul Farr | Why is my partner always jumping out the window with their bids?? Horrible AI doesn't know when to pass and when to bid, no matter what level I set them at. The basics of the app function well, but bidding is essential to this game and the AI does not understand the standard bidding system. I replayed a hand my partner had previously passed on and altered my bid (still on the 1 level), so my AI partner decides this time they want to go for a small slam. What do you know? Set by a mile. Great bid | |
2021-08-18 | Jay Witt | Good implementation - the game play is pretty good at it's highest level. There's no real training mode - if you're just learning, I think you'll be pretty confused. On the pro side, the explanation of the bids in all modes is very helpful. I was using the app to tune up - it help me a lot. I hadn't played in 20 years, now I'm confident I won't embarass myself. I do agree with some comments, there's no way to adjust bidding conventions. | |
2021-08-09 | Dennis Blair | 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. | |
2021-07-20 | Doug Tarter | The reason I give this 3 stars is because it's still fun to play bridge despite its glaring flaws. The AI bidding is absolutely absurd, particularly with your partner. North throws out crazy, inexplicable bids, leaving you with impossible hands to play. Also, if you follow the AI's suggested bidding option you'll only get to play the hand about 1 out of 4 times. Really annoying. I know they say they're trying to fix the problems. Until they do, the game can be super frustrating. |
