You are not stuck to a particular system but the outcome for the ideal contract is there. You can discuss with your bid partner afterwards and I’ve found it very helpful in improving my bidding. ### 5/5 — Bid72 *2023-10-13* Really good app to allow you to practice your bidding with your partner. ### 2/5 — Overpriced and underdeveloped *2023-10-07, version 5.0.2* I always wanted an app to practice bidding, so I was excited to give bid72 a try after reading about it in ACBL bulletin. Unfortunately the experience using app fell short on way too many fronts to recommend it. Here are my biggest issues with it: - NO HELP, hints or explanations built in the app whatsoever - creators assume that you know how it works and how they score the hands for you providing no built in help or hints in the app with exceptions when they ask you to pay for something. You’re on your own with it, their website is of little help too, emails they send you often have broken links - GREEDY PRICING with nickel & dime-big being the strategy. You need to pay subscription to be able to do anything AND on top of this you need to pay to unlock EACH topic from a long list (which I think is the most sensible way to practice with your partner, unless you want to only have random hands). You thought you were done? No, if you want to practice the same topic (such as Lebehnsol) with your partner opening (instead of you), she needs to pay for it too! So, prepare to pay 2 monthly fees and unlock each topic twice, so for a decent practice you will be looking at a 100+ between you two to start - very underdeveloped bare bones interface which needs work to ensure your brain is not cluttered what you really don’t need and providing more help with analyzing results and grouping them together. - payments processing is a nightmare. After paying them once, it still showed 0 bidding points, so thought the payment didn’t go through and tried it again with the same results. Next thing I’m receiving a bill for both, and had to write to support to get my points activated. They explained that their “communication with Apple is poor”, and that they don’t give refunds, so I got bidding points at worst possible value. Great opportunity, but unfortunately falling short of what it could have been. The only reason it’s 2 stars and not 1 is for responsive (although not super helpful, like in situations with refunds) technical support. Verdict: only for pros, and the best way to use is to participate in bidding contests if you’re an ACBL member (if you can figure it out) - at least this nightmare will be free for you for 5 random deals a week. ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2023-10-07* This wonderful program has greatly helped me improve my understanding with my partner. It has a very high variability in creating bridge trading situations. The interference in the form of intervention is brilliantly implemented! Many thanks to the developers for this wonderful product! ### 5/5 — Good bidding practice *2023-09-16* Bid 72 is a good tool to practice bidding. I am using it with others from my beginning bridge class and find it a quick way to experience bidding more hands than I see in a bridge session. ### 1/5 — Bad App *2023-08-30* Please DO NOT waste your money. It’s a scam ### 5/5 — Excellent app for perfecting Bridge bidding *2022-09-03, version 4.9.2* My wife and I practice for at least an hour every day using Bid72 and it has improved our game significantly in a very short period of time. Well done to the creators. ### 4/5 — Good tool for improving bidding *2022-04-30* Good reliable app for practicing and discussing bidding with large variety of hands including competitive scenarios. Would like to use the additional hands but pricing for those is too high. Scoring on bids gives useful feedback, but don’t take scores as gospel. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2022-01-04* My partner and I used to do ubid for yearsWhich was a great way to practice our bidding. When they pulled the app a few months ago we switched to bid72. It has been a huge disappointment. It’s $40 for the app for basic hands. You then have to purchase points for more sophisticated hands. The hands often disappear so it’s hard to review them. The recommended bidding makes no sense. We both decided to bail. We wasted money but we won’t waste time. I recommend you do neither. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2021-10-01* Still way too many bugs. Today the app wouldn’t accept my bids until I did the all too familiar delete and reinstall. ## Frequently asked questions about bid72 ### What is bid72? bid72 is a mobile application designed to help users practice bridge bidding with partners, teachers, or coaches.

Purchases should now be processed immediately. ### 5.0.2 — 2023-06-18 When you choose New board, you will now find the new option Magazine Contests. You can buy a Magazine contest from our archive here. You and your partner will get all hands of the contest (normally 8 or 10). After you finish the boards, you will receive your scores compared to the scores and auctions of the experts, and furthermore, you will receive the full magazine article so you can read all explanations and recommendations of the author. ### 4.9.2 — 2022-04-15 The vulnerability shown in text did not always match the vulnerable markers (red lines). We have fixed that, and quite a few other small bugs too. Finally we created an option that we hope you will never use! You now can fully erase your profile and all your personal data. Only for people who never want to use bid72 again, ever. ### 4.9.1 — 2022-01-27 You will now find a Mailbox function in your settings menu, where we will put all relevant documents for you. You can view the documents in the app, or forward them to your email. We have slightly redesigned the Finished boards screen. The filters have been moved to a separate window, to make space for a more important content. Previously, when you opened a finished board and returned to the list of boards, annoyingly your filter settings were gone. We've fixed that, so now filters remain active after you open a finished board and return to the list. Now you can not only hide all boards, but get all hidden boards back with one press of a button. We have enhanced the notification system, so your partner's bids will show up right away. ## Apps similar to bid72 | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Fun Bridge](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fun-bridge/id408841149) | 4.6 (13,688) | Free | Games | | [Bridge Ace - now PLAY LIVE!](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bridge-ace-now-play-live/id1474789385) | 4.1 (336) | Free | Games | | [Tricky Bridge: Learn & Play](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tricky-bridge-learn-and-play/id1437652160) | 4.9 (4,374) | Free | Games | | [Bridge by NeuralPlay](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bridge-by-neuralplay/id1544516848) | 4.6 (6,817) | Free | Games | | [Churchill Solitaire](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/churchill-solitaire/id1030804846) | 4.3 (7,210) | Free | Games | | [Classic Bridge Card Game](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/classic-bridge-card-game/id1599860876) | 4.7 (3,545) | Free | Games | ## Related topics [bids bridge](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/bids-bridge) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
