What's New in Bid Whist

2.1.3

May 7, 2026

Bug fixes.

User reviews

i’d rather you have not updated this game to whatever this is

i’ve been patient waiting for corrective updates, but come on…

•i’m not able to bid a 4 special, even when i have selected that as a game play option in the settings
•the app usually crashes when my team does well, thus not being able to finish a game
•my “partner” used to be a much smarter, intuitive player-like not still running trumps when our opponents run out, yet i still have them, coming back in a suit that my partner has information that i am cutting.

fix this please

Good game ruined by ads

The ads in the game trap you in the screen and you have to exit the game to continue. I played almost everyday before they added the ads. ADs ARE RUINING THE GAME!!!!

Not better

This app has gotten worse. My partner has got to be the worst whist player ever. They make foolish plays no real player ever would. The dealing is also flawed. 90% of the time I get mediocre hands full of 8s 9s and 10s. Jokers are rare- about once in 20 deals. And for the love of the game, please get rid of the suggested bid.

Update features not good

Suggested Bid not on point
Cards too small
Don’t want the feature for repeating games with the same players
Where is the sound control for the Boston Train?

Hard to read

As an 82 year old player I find the symbols hard to read. I have had this app for more than 15 years and I have shared it with many friends. The new look is far from good.
