Love the game
Hate the crashes. Great interface and play — like to buy as free version and crashes are just too frequent.pollie1

Good game but should be more critical and creativeEmon Hossen Bappy
Excellent
This is by far and away the best bridge app I have come across. It is substantially better than the “pay” competition.GBoothew..

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Bridge. Thank you for your review.Very good Bridge app, best I’ve tried in awhile
This is a great way to play bridge online. Good interface, hints if you need them, ads not overly annoying. The only faults I’ve found are that South tends to get rotten hands more often than I might expect, and that you can’t use the Landscape orientation on an iPad. Fix that latter problem and I’ll increase my rating, otherwise it will stay at four stars.
UPDATE: We now have Landscape orientation!! Thank you! And South seems to be doing better as well.Show lessChris McKenzie

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Bridge. Thank you for your review. The deals are not biased and random by default, with time, South is expected to see some good hands too. In settings you can use the "Hand Characteristics" feature to bias the deals. For practice, we often use this feature to play with the best hand. We are working on improvements, landscape orientation is on our list.Awful app!
The creator of this bridge app has obviously never played bridge! My partner bid 4 hearts with only 4 of that suit, no stoppers and low points.Trumped Out
Needs a landscape interface option for iPad play
Another useful option would be hand diagrams instead of pictures of cards, a la BBO. Pretty good otherwise.McBruceWX5
Awesome
How do I buy this so I don’t have to put up with the ads?jenxxzz
Random Deal seems to be broken
The frequency of 9 or 10 high hands being dealt to South is well beyond statistical probability. For example, in the last 5 hands I was dealt, 3 hands were 9 high with even distribution, 1 hand had a single Jack with even distribution, and the 5th hand was about 5 points again with even distribution. Without keeping detailed records, I feel 70-80 percent of South hands are 9 or 10 high. It is disappointing to play a myriad of hands where your only bid is “pass” and no defense can be offered when you can only catch the cards you hold.
Beware that the program uses a strange 4NT bid by North. Following a pass by South, a bid by West. North will overcall 4NT to indicate 2 4-card suits for the lowest suits that have not been bid and North usually has only 3-5 points. The bid is doubled. So with with South having a high hand with no honors, and North having so few points, declarers often capture only one or two tricks. I have not found a way to avoid this disaster.
Additionally, be prepared for North to discard winning Aces and Kings or overtake your winning trick permitting opponents to set up their suit. This occurs despite the lead being from dummy when it is obvious what cards to hold. Often, North will discard Ace or King while continuing to hold 3 small cards in the same suit. North is not unblocking hand for South because never has much of a chance to catch a trick when mostly holding 10-high hands!Show lessfishing dude 4ork

Thank you for your review. The deals are random by default, south will get good hands too. We often use the Hand Characteristics settings to give south better hands for practice. The AI by default uses Unusual Notrump bids, the 4NT overcall bid is an Unusual Notrump preemptive overall showing the two lower unbid suits. This bidding convention may be customized in settings.Review
This is a wonderful app to practice bidding, playing hands or both, For example, if you want to practice Stayman and Transfers, you can customize the bidding setting so that North always opens 1nt.Fred Ferwerda

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Bridge. Thank you for your review.What happened to duplicate pairs?
Chicago is a very inferior type of bridge. No point in sacrificing, which is something we need to practise. All much less fun than before. Just off to look elsewhere.....Rog Wilko
