I have emailed twice and gotten no response. I am giving it another week, then I am canceling and deleting the app! So disappointed. ### 5/5 — Bridge Mentor *2025-05-04* Simply brilliant bridge card game application. ### 3/5 — Not always fun or educational *2024-10-18* The opposing hands very often have the better hands. It’s no fun to play when you don’t have competitive hands. ### 1/5 — Good app, repeatedly does not connect to App Store *2024-06-18* This is fundamentally a good app. Plays bridge pretty well. My biggest gripe is that it repeatedly will not connect to the App Store and verify subscription. I have tried rebooting my phone. No joy. It is annoying to have this app not work when you want it to. ### 2/5 — Bids without thought… *2022-06-21* The bidding uses too many different conventions and often confuses itself as well as me. And then my partner takes my tricks like I’m on a different team… ### 5/5 — Fascinating, considerable learning opportunities. *2022-05-29* Excellent for re-evaluating my bidding skills. Good to have the chance to re-play a hand and improve the score. Love every moment! Enjoy seeing how others play, bid and try to beat them. ### 5/5 — Bridge Mentor delivers *2021-10-30* I’ve been playing Bridge Mentor for the past four months and am really enjoying it. I probably play 40 hands a week; and have found the app reliable and operates smoothly (I’m on an IPad). I recently subscribed to the monthly subscription service; and can now participate in the competition mode… and now unlimited hands in the practice bidding and card play mode. A helpful new feature is the ability to replay a hand in competition mode; but I can bid it differently. Nice! I get to see how others competition players bid and if they made their bid. This helps me improve my bidding and play —certainly elevates my game. Since I first started playing Bridge Mentor, I’ve noticed several tweaks that improve the visuals when reviewing a hand; and tweaks on card play logic. Definitely recommend. ### 3/5 — Fun game *2021-05-18* It works most of the time. ### 5/5 — Facile de battre votre ordi *2021-05-09* Votre système joue comme un débutant. Il est difficile de voir les cartes. La levée précédente au milieu de la table crée de la confusion. Au lieu des abréviations anglaises pourquoi ne pas mettre le symbole universel. ### 3/5 — Keeps freezing up *2021-03-12* I love this game but about every 6-7 games the screen freezes and I have to delete from phone and redownload. Just when I get a good hand. One more thing. If I were bidding with a human partner we would not jump to game, even when we should have the points, until we have had more of a bidding conversation. The lack of these intermediate bids prevents me from getting more information about my partners bid and perhaps exploring a baby or grand slam. Those intermediate steps need to be written into the game. What if I bid a five card suit, my partner raises me one but I want a better picture of their hand. I want to be able to bid my four card suit and go back to the five card suit to first tell my partner that I have five cards in this suit and allows them to pass or raise. Also there seems to be little provision for Blackwood etc. Please, please make the bidding process allow for more complexity and thus more accurate bidding. On the good side this is the best Bridge app I have found! Please fix the freeze and allow for more complete bidding, thank you **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Sorry that you are having issues with the app freezing. Can you tell me which version of the iPhone you are using? Not that it should matter, but just looking for clues. If you wouldn't mind sending a screenshot to info@eamonnandian.com, that would also be helpful. I'll look into the bidding as well. I must admit, if you send the hand, with how you would have bid it, that would be very helpful. I have some bridge experts I consult who can help me formulate the improvements to the bidding. Thanks very much! ## Frequently asked questions about Bridge Mentor ### What does Bridge Mentor do?
