### 4/5 — Good for practicing defense

*2026-09-03*

About 7 times out of 10, north south, which you play, lack enough points to open, meaning that most of the time you play defense.  And often, you can set east west.  But because they are getting the better hands, eventually there is nothing you can do to stop them.  Still, I am enjoying this game.  It moves right along and a rubber generally takes less than 15 minutes.  I would give it 5 stars if I could get better hands.  Really annoying to constantly get six to eight point hands.

### 3/5 — Computer terrible partner

*2026-08-17, version 3.1.26*

There are many times that when you have the computer as your partner it will make the stupidness decisions that just ruin the enjoyment of playing the game of bridge

### 4/5 — Fun but ai is bad at bidding.

*2026-08-14, version 3.1.26*

I play Chicago but can do black wood if I’m exploring game. The ai doesn’t play that style and you can’t change it.

### 3/5 — GOOD, BUT…

*2026-07-30*

I love the layout of this game and the way the auctions work.  It’s the best I’ve seen.  Now the “but.” BUT…I’ve dealt over 25,000 hands (yes, I kept track) and 80% of the time you’re going to play defense.  I find myself restarting hands because it’s so frustrating and boring to always play defense.  The developers may say it’s random, but my data just does not support that.  Finesses rarely work, certainly not the 40-50% of the time you’d expect.  And the North partner’s bidding is atrocious.

**Developer response:** Hi arebeegee_101, thanks for the feedback!

Our bridge game uses “weak two bids”, which represents something different from what you are expecting. 

If you have a read of the “how your partner plays” section of the “how to play” page, it details all of the bidding conventions used by your partner. I think it will help you get on better!

### 3/5 — Too Many Ads

*2026-07-30, version 3.1.21*

The app itself is okay, but way too many ads. To have to watch an ad after EVERY hand is ridiculous.  I have other bridge apps that I will play more often.

### 4/5 — Getting Better

*2026-07-27, version 3.1.21*

Good that you fixed the problem with which defense hand leads.

### 3/5 — Takeout double logic broken

*2026-07-22, version 3.1.21*

I can’t bid a takeout double because N always passes. On a takeout double with no intervening bid the partner must bid. Also, N bids a takeout double on a 3 bid rather than a 1/2 bid. I think there is a sign error in the takeout double logic.

### 3/5 — Okay but not great

*2026-07-03, version 3.1.15*

Does not play duplicate; only understands SAYC; ends game after a certain number of points rather than playing a full board; doesn't understand splinter bids and treats them as natural

### 4/5 — Last hand played

*2026-07-03, version 3.1.15*

Please add the option to review the last hand played. The cards are removed so fast that sometimes I miss the winning card.

### 4/5 — Teaching tool

*2026-06-21, version 3.1.15*

I learned more techniques of bidding than I ever understood even from notes.  

I hope there is advice about play to come

### 5/5 — Best game for midnight

*2026-05-14, version 3.0.7*

Outstanding game full of ups and downs

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-04-19, version 3.0.7*

Learn a lot by seeing their hints!

### 3/5 — Inadequate

*2026-04-18, version 3.0.7*

The quality of both bidding and play remains poor. My partner frequently fails to return my suit in no Trump contracts, where doing so would set the contract. Opponents fail to make contracts that are lay down, due to stupid play. The app has potential, but much improvement is still needed.

### 5/5 — Best Bridge game I’ve found online.

*2026-04-10, version 3.0.7*

One add per game but they only last a few seconds

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-29, version 3.0.7*

The app is user friendly, stable, and intuitive.

### 4/5 — Great Game

*2026-03-17, version 3.0.7*

Fun :)

### 5/5 — Verry good!

*2026-03-11, version 3.0.7*

I really enjoy playing Bridge with Classic Bridge App!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-03-11, version 3.0.7*

Great game to play, either when learning or just when you have a few minutes to relax

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — But I Keep Playing

*2026-05-20, version 3.0.7*

My AI partner is clueless on matching hand with my bid, among other frustrations.

### 1/5 — Worst

*2026-03-27, version 3.0.7*

The bidding does not follow Hoyles Rules of Bridge at all

### 1/5 — More information

*2026-02-11, version 3.0.7*

I am looking for more information on the bidding and why we choose the bidding. Pop ups on how to bid and what the result will yield if I bid that way. Love what you have done colouring the cards.  Some of your pop up commercials are wrecking my game as I can’t close them down. Also when I hit uninterested don’t show me again. Lastly can I buy the game.

### 1/5 — Deals can’t possibly be random

*2026-02-08, version 3.0.7*

It’s hard to believe that the deals are random. I have played entire games where I have not had enough points to even open a bid. It gets tiresome and boring always playing defense. I had hoped that the feedback about E/W getting better hands than N/S would bring about some change. But, apparently, that was too much to hope for. The app has some nice features. But, the imbalance in points in the dealing is maddening.
Can anyone recommend other apps that they have found helpful and enjoyable??

### 1/5 — Not Bridge at All

*2026-02-08, version 3.0.7*

Poor bidding, poor defense. Better if we could see all four hands at end of play. Can’t claim when next play is only one that can be made.

### 1/5 — My Review

*2026-02-07*

App seems geared to give E/W the better hands. The defensive play is absolutely horrible. HORRIBLE!!! Leads are rarely returned—good tricks in NT aren’t taken and what is lead sets up tricks for E/W. Opening two bids should be at least 20 points minimum—played a hand that had 11 points that opened 2H with three card suit. Disgraceful. Opening bids for North are sometimes very light in point value with only a 2-3 card suit—even in hearts/spades. I play the hard version and if this is your example of hard, I’d expect better bidding/defense. I still play because I enjoy the challenge of the game, but this app could and should be drastically improved. At the very least, post what variations to standard bridge you use—i.e. short club openings; short point opening two bids; five card major suits to open; return your partner’s lead; take your good tricks in NT—ALL of the above and MORE!!!  The recent update is awful. Absolutely hate the different colored suits.

### 1/5 — Bidding

*2026-01-13, version 2.6.12*

The program does not support your bid. I bid diamonds, my ‘partner’ bid hearts so I passed. It turned out my partner had more diamonds than hearts

### 1/5 — App Lies About Ad Frequency

*2026-01-10, version 2.6.12*

The app works okay in terms of bridge play, but at the very beginning it asks if you want to play with banner ads (full-time) or full screen ads (promises a frequency of very 15 minutes).  After 15 minutes, you get the first ad (that is one of these annoying game ads that just goes on and on for what seems like about 3 minutes before you can close it out).  But then you get another one of these ads every hand.  More ad time than play time.  Annoying and misleading.

### 1/5 — Annoying adverts and incompetent partner: avoid

*2025-12-05, version 2.6.12*

My partner is awful, initially thought it was to make it more realistic, but makes ridiculous bids of 4 hearts when it has only 2 small ones and 6 excellent clubs for example. The adverts come up with no delete option initially so you have to learn to wait 20 seconds before it comes on, plus one con ad comes up for memory full that takes minutes to clear, touch the advert accidentally and it goes straight to the site.

### 1/5 — Gene

*2025-11-05, version 2.6.12*

I play this all the time and all is great except I would like to see more hands! I see the same cards being dealt over and over. Need new hands to be put into system to be a real bridge so it will not get boring. Thanks

PS: not enough hand to play? Add addition hand.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2026-08-16, version 3.1.26*

A very good way of improving one’s bridge gameplay.

### 5/5 — Solid game

*2026-08-15, version 3.1.26*

Great user interface. They overbid sometimes based on the scorecard.  Learning to play again and the is a great app to learn the game.  Would be nice if there was a button you could select and get the bid reason.

### 5/5 — Excellent bridge practice

*2026-08-04, version 3.1.21*

Love this - user friendly.  Would help to have the option to replay some games to learn more

### 5/5 — Brilliant if a bit addictive

*2026-07-09, version 3.1.15*

Great way to improve your bridge game. Now playing several times a day.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-07, version 3.1.15*

I love this app and have been playing it for some years now.  I no longer play with people so this keeps my mind active.

### 5/5 — A great app!

*2026-07-01, version 3.1.15*

I love this app very much. Great advice and I appreciate the help they give you

### 5/5 — Bridge

*2026-06-29, version 3.1.15*

Excellent game

### 5/5 — Awesome Bridge Game!

*2026-06-28*

Great Bridge Game! It’s very easy to understand. I am very new to Bridge and it’s extremely easy to understand what is going on it the game. If you have any questions at all about what is going on or how to bid, it gives a clear explanation. I’ve tried one of Bridge game after leaning how to play and I was clueless as so who had the contract, what the bid was. It’s was extremely infuriating. Don’t hesitate, this is the best Bridge app!

### 5/5 — A Great Software

*2026-05-27*

A boon for those who desires to practice Bridge daily. The best feature is review your own game or better replay the same game from bids. Look forward to an advanced difficult version of this.

### 5/5 — So much FUN!

*2026-05-17, version 3.0.7*

I’m learning to finesse with Bridge!
