In addition, sometimes my robot partner goes crazy and bids like a maniac. Wish the original programmers still owned the app. ### 3/5 — Good app but constant requests for notifications *2026-08-27, version 38.7* Great app but annoying constant requests for notifications. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-09, version 38.7* Good game with TERRIBLE SERVICE. The price has gone up while the options go down. I used to be able to select conventions but no longer. ### 4/5 — Bravo *2026-07-13, version 38.7* Dans les standards il faudrait indiquer si vulnérable ou non vulnérable ### 3/5 — Game is good support is TERRIBLE! *2026-07-10, version 38.7* The price has gone up and the service has gone down since I started with Bridge Baron. I used to be able adjust the conventions and let about the conventions but no longer. ### 3/5 — Great but *2026-07-04, version 38.7* Bids contrary to explanations like rebidding a 4 card major. ### 4/5 — Cumul des scores *2026-07-02, version 38.7* Pourquoi qu’à chaque fois qu’on ouvre l’application on doit toujours recommencer à zéro ### 3/5 — Need vulnerability *2026-05-24, version 38.7* Game does not display team vulnerability before each game is bid ### 3/5 — Vulnerability not shown *2026-05-16, version 38.7* vulnerability is never shown. Family sharing on Apple MAC doesn’t work. ### 4/5 — Game resets at Random *2026-03-22, version 38.6* We have contacted support at bridge baron about the issue of coming back to the app and the previous game and score being lost. We have had no response from support. ### 4/5 — Some issues but a good game product *2026-02-10, version 38.6* The bridge board does not fit on the new iPhone setup correctly. Some of the top words are covered. Also sometimes the game just “sticks” and you have to restart. And the option of “setting” the contract (changing partner’s bid) does not work anymore. ### 1/5 — Bridge Baron *2025-12-29, version 38.6* I cancelled this app on May 21 due to multiple ongoing bugs. Two months ago, the developer claimed the issues were fixed, but the same problems still exist. Previously I paid $4.99, and today I was charged $6.90, despite no improvement. The errors remain — for example, “west” is still displayed on the right side. ### 1/5 — The old Bridge Baron was better *2025-11-24, version 38.6* Since they upgrade BB the algorithm is really bad. ### 3/5 — Unbelievable *2025-11-07, version 38.6* Fun to play but not flexible. Cannot load biding rules. For example, it seems to be impossible to to play a convenient minor. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unplayable again today *2026-09-06, version 38.7* Card play is not following standard practice. Strange card is charged and hasn’t been playable since and no updates to fix bug. Played correctly for one day before going wacko. Day three of non-playable bridge. Day four of unplayable bridge. Day five of unplayable bridge. Day 6 of unplayable bridge. ### 1/5 — Unplayable again today *2026-09-04, version 38.7* Card play is not following standard practice. Strange card is charged and hasn’t been playable since and no updates to fix bug. Played correctly for one day before going wacko. Day three of non-playable bridge. Day four of unplayable bridge.

Strange card is charged and hasn’t been playable since and no updates to fix bug ### 1/5 — Kevin *2026-08-05, version 38.7* Is nowhere as good as other Baron versions. Frequently an opposition bidder will bid in a suit already bid. Is very inflexible as it doesn’t allow for 5 card major openings or weak two openings. Does not offer jump to clubs as ace asking. Frequently a hand holding king and smaller in a suit will lead the king to a singleton Ace in dummy. Basically it’s rubbish that we are forced to pay over $10 a month for after we paid in full for the earlier better version and that payment was dishonoured when the decided to take away what when bought fairly and impose a scam payment on us for an inferior product. ### 1/5 — I've already bought this app now it's trying to make me rebuy it *2026-07-26, version 38.7* I have bought the bridge baron gold app previously for around $25. Supposedly for unlimited play. Now it's not working and a pop up says I have to buy it again! What's up with this Apple?? Fraud? ### 1/5 — Daylight robbery *2026-07-05, version 38.7* Nobody should trust this company. Many of us paid in good faith for Bridge Baron Gold, only later to find our use of the app’ was blocked unless we paid an additional monthly subscription. No refunds were offered. They simply stole our money. They are extremely dishonest. ### 1/5 — iPhone 17 Dynamic Island Blocks top center options *2026-06-11, version 38.7* Can't see options at top with my new IPhone 17. ### 1/5 — Unplayable again today *2026-06-05, version 38.7* Card play is not following standard practice ### 1/5 — Rotate when North is declarer *2026-05-18, version 38.7* When will be it fixed? I been waiting over two years!! ### 1/5 — Going backwards *2026-01-08, version 38.6* I loved the old Baron. You could customize your convention. Now you can’t do that. How can a program get worse? Now when you play the directions go backwards. They took a great program and made it less helpful? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bridge Baron Gold *2026-07-13, version 38.7* Very good app. I play everyday ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-06-23, version 38.7* I use the App almost daily to practice bridge ### 5/5 — 💓 *2026-06-11, version 38.7* Love this site and works even without internet service unlike BBO. ### 5/5 — Play *2026-05-31, version 38.7* Good learning tool ### 5/5 — Great Bridge Game!! *2026-05-05, version 38.7* This is an excellent bridge game. I’ve been playing for 43 years and I love the way Bridge Baron is designed to play. ### 5/5 — Can’t see the vulnerable hands on bidding screen *2026-04-09, version 38.7* Removed one star! Please fix the display of the vulnerable team(s) on the bidding screen. It always shows W/E as vulnerable (displayed in red) on all the deals. The ‘Review’ screen does show the correct team vulnerability, buts it’s annoying that the ‘Table’ screen displays it wrong. ### 5/5 — Great travel companion *2025-09-07, version 38.5* BBis always available to play wifi or not thank you ### 5/5 — Stimulating *2025-09-03, version 38.5* Great brain exercise and stimulating. Keeps me sharp for when I play in person. ### 5/5 — Bridge Baron *2025-08-24, version 38.5* Great fun and excellent learning ### 5/5 — Fake mixing of hands. Keep getting the same 20 over and over again. Where are those thousands? Crook *2025-08-22, version 38.5* What did you do? Why is north now south?? Totally bizarre.
