  • More work required

    For those of us who play the game it’s sort of a waste of time, way too many dumb moves Ransage
  • Missing 1 option

    There should be a WORKING option for bids. A low bid should win over a high bid. A 4 high can be taken out by a 4 low and 4 no. A no bid takes out everting.

    Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Bid Whist. Thank you for your review. We apologize for the confusion on the low beats high option. To enable this option, please select: custom rules -> high/low bid ranking -> low beats high. Then go back to the Main Screen and choose "Custom" and start a new game.
  • Bid whist AI

    Good first attempt. I think that the scoring is off. I believe on any 4 bid, a 4 from the opponent stops that bid. Here it takes a 5 to stop a 4 bid.
    Other than that it’s not a bad game.
  • AI needs improving

    I enjoy this app! HOWEVER, the AI needs to be updated. Example…when winning a bid, your partner(computer) should always play their best cards(Aces in other suits, etc), before giving you back the lead.
    In NO Trumps, you NEVER play the tops off a suit(aces)unless you can control the suit. Meaning, Don’t lead with ace if you don’t have king, queen or jack. Play a low card, and maybe partner has king, queen etc.
    Also, If I win the bid, and my partner has no more trump cards, HIS VERY NEXT play should ALWAYS be a weak card in his strong suit. This is strategy to let me know he may have an ace in that suit.
    I hope this makes sense, coming from someone who has been playing bid whist his whole life. Which I learned from my grandfather’s generation, who played in bid whist card clubs practically, his whole life. 😉

    Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Bid Whist. Thank you for your review. And thank you for the helpful comments. We are continuing to make improvements to the AI. The AI on level 3, uses rules and should better lead back winners as you describe. The AI on levels 4+ uses a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the best plays. We find this AI plays better overall than the rules we have on level 3. However, we have found some odd plays where it did not lead back correctly. In version 2.70, we have made adjustments to make the AI on levels 4+ lead back winners better.
  • The best bid whist app I’ve found

    Great app!!!
  • Great app

    I just installed this app and played three games. The computer strategy complements my own. On the third game I helped my partner run a Boston on a 4-no trump.

  • I would give it 5 stars but…

    I can’t get it to play fully like the real game, even though the settings say you can. I have it set for low taking out a high, yet when you play, only a no trump takes out a high. That’s not the real rules. Also, I have it set for minimum bid 4, yet the computer keeps sliding in with 3’s. No big deal, just annoying to see for a real bid player. Lol. My final issue is the ads interrupt my music, not ok. I’m ok with ads, I don’t need to hear them or have them override whatever I am listening to. Other than that. Solid app. The computer makes an ok partner, not like my crew, but doesn’t make dumb moves.

Please try setting the options for the rules you want to play with then go to the Main Screen and choose "Custom" for the game rules. Next, start a new game for the custom rules to take effect.

  • Best Bid Whist I’ve Found for iPhone so far

    This is the best bid whist game I’ve found for iPhone so far. Gameplay is simple, doesn’t take up too much space, and the rules are customizable. The only suggestion is to improve the AI’s logic. My AI partner doesn’t use the best logic when playing, but it’s not a big issue. Still a great game.

  • Bugs

    Sporting the kitty is not working. It does on a different device.
  • Sporting the kitty

    I set it to show the kitty if there is a trump bid. However it only shows the kitty to the declarer. Is it a problem with the iPad and iPhone? I have tried to change it in custom rules but no luck.
