## What is Bridge Ace?

BridgeAce has been developed by the same team which brought you iBridgePlus ten years ago - the app which consistently had the highest number of 5* reviews on the App Store, and which came top in most comparative tests against other Bridge apps. (Please don't just take our word for this - read the iBridgePlus reviews!)

The team is constantly looking to improve, and we are thrilled to launch BridgeAce, which takes 'solo' Bridge play to another level altogether:

•	Ten years in development, by the team which brought you the 5* rated iBridgePlus app

•	Superb International-standard Bridge Artificial Intelligence (AI) wrapped with an intuitive, clear, user-friendly interface

•	Generous FREE period of use to test and evaluate the app

•	NO ANNOYING ADS – transparent, flexible and affordable pricing structure with NO AUTOMATICALLY RECURRING SUBSCRIPTIONS

•	Comprehensive ‘Hint’ and ‘Explain’ features to guide the beginner

•	Powerful Bridge AI will challenge the expert player to the limit of their skills

•	Play Rubber, Chicago, Teams or Duplicate * and now PLAY LIVE in REAL TIME with your chosen partner

•	Unique ‘Memory Joggers’ feature **

•	The AI can generate over 2.6 billion unique deals

BridgeAce is the ultimate ‘Solo’ Bridge app. You are always playing on your own, (that’s right … NEVER playing with or against another human) and you’re always partnered by, and playing against, the powerful AI. 

•	Select from one of the 22 built-in bidding systems, from the most basic to the highly complex and technical

•	All the systems are fully documented (and printable) for easy reference

•	All bids (and bid hints) can be explained on screen, on demand.

•	Tweak, change, or totally redesign bidding systems using the ‘Alter My System’ tool.

* Playing Duplicate on BridgeAce is a unique, unpressurised experience. You are given a set of eight hands, to play on your device, with your AI partner North, playing against the AI East/West opponents, all using your chosen bidding system. The SAME set of hands are given to 7 other users, who will be playing them under the same conditions, on their devices. Therefore the only ‘variable’ in the match are the eight human South players. When the results are published, many of you will realise that you are not as bad as you made yourself out to be, while some of you will awaken to the fact that you are not quite as good as you thought :-)
All the results are completely transparent, and you can examine how every competitor bid, and played the hand. 
Duplicate is totally anonymous – only your display name is shown, so no-one will know who was the person who went down three in the simple 1NT contract!! :-)

** Whatever age we are, we all suffer from those ‘senior moments'. Memory Joggers (MJ) is a feature available in all modes (restricted use in Duplicate) to help you remember the important salient facts about the hand. Imagine this. You’re at trick 8, and cannot remember …

•	Has the Queen of Hearts been played yet? – There’s a MJ which will tell you exactly which of the Top Honour cards are still out.

•	How many hearts are still out? – There’s a MJ which will show you how many cards are out in the four suits.

•	How many HCP has East shown so far – There’s a MJ to show how many HCP each hand has shown so far, and indeed you can drill down and see which cards every seat has played so far.

Memory Joggers is the perfect tool to help you train yourself to memorise these important elements of a hand during play.

What else makes BridgeAce stand out from the crowd?

•	App is packed with instructional documents and videos to guide and help you

•	‘My Hands’ – a feature which enables you to save, annotate and replay memorable hands

•	‘Info’ button on every page with useful information

•	Bespokable interface – get the look and feel that pleases you most

•	International sets of cards for our friends from around the globe

•	‘Night Mode’ to dim the screen (your bed partner will LOVE this!)

### 5/5 — Excellent bridge game

*2026-08-19, version 1.2.9.1*

Settings snd features give you lots off options from beginner to advanced

### 2/5 — Poor

*2026-08-16, version 1.2.9.1*

I play RKB how do I set that? I couldn’t?

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-08-12, version 1.2.9.1*

Really superb for a solo player.   Also a great way to improve your game.

### 3/5 — Idiot robot

*2026-08-09, version 1.2.9.1*

Whilst this is possibly the best Bridge app for value for money. If the robot was a human, I would probably be serving time for manslaughter. Although I’m sure the judge would have been very sympathetic.
One instance, i have my system set to play weak two’s, DHS, in  seats 1-3. The robot opened 2D in first seat, this was passed out. I made 13 tricks.
On display of the board, the robot had 8 diamonds and 19 points!!
Ahhhh

### 3/5 — Interface needs some work

*2026-07-31, version 1.2.9.1*

No bridge player expects to hit another button to start playing once a dummy appears, or when the bidding is over and we are on opening lead or when a new hand appears on screen and we are the dealer.  These little extra clicks for no reason need to be removed (perhaps as an option).  Auction diagrams with suit symbols would look far better than ‘2H’ ‘3S’ ‘4D’.  With ten years of development these are basic errors.

### 5/5 — Not picked don’t have any!

*2026-07-26, version 1.2.9.1*

Ace is the best phone bridge that I’ve found And it doesn’t let other game advertisements interfere!
Wiser Lady

### 5/5 — Bridge Ace

*2026-07-08, version 1.2.9.1*

Easy to practice playing hands on!
Helpful with American Standard Yellow Card system!!

### 3/5 — Can’t leave App

*2026-07-04, version 1.2.9.1*

The app seems great except try as I may, I can’t get out of it.  I had to reboot my IPhone to leave.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-06-28, version 1.2.9.1*

Really superb for a solo player.   Also a good way to improve your game.

### 5/5 — Not picked don’t have any!

*2026-06-17, version 1.2.9.1*

So much better than Fun Bridge!!
