### 4/5 — Percentages of finesses

*2026-05-23, version 5.62*

I love Bridge.  This is Bridge game is pretty good.  My big complaint is that finesses hardly ever work!  In real Bridge, it work at least 50% of the time.

### 2/5 — Bridge tournaments not for beginners

*2025-12-14, version 5.60*

Too often the hands provided are in a word - terrible. One Jack as the only face card in the hand, for example.

Perhaps more advanced players could manage, but I find the tournaments quite frustrating and discouraging.

### 3/5 — Decent game, annoying bidding

*2025-12-10, version 5.60*

Often computer partner does not respect settings. I set 5 card majors, program sometimes calls 4 cards anyways. Often too aggressive, bids its own 5 cards suit twice and thrice despite the fact opponents are bidding and I am passing. Annoying sounds that cannit be turned off in settings.

### 1/5 — Contracts

*2025-11-14, version 5.60*

The games are arranged so that E/W gets the MC majority of contacts. That’s not acceptable. I am deleting this program

### 2/5 — Awful layout, no way to adjust display

*2025-09-11, version 5.60*

Very sorry I impulsively purchased this app. The “cards” are huge on my phone so a long suit often breaks across two rows. Horrible to process. Suits display low to high left to right and can’t be changed, and I am used to the reverse. Once trump is set, the suits in your do not reflect this (with trump on the left), your hand just starts the same. Very clunky. And I haven’t found any bidding hints or analyses but I will keep checking. Rather than provide useful adjustments instead you can change the table pattern and the tablecloth! Ridiculous!

Apparently Omar Sharif’s name has been dangled as bait to sell a rather poor bridge app. Very disappointing.

### 5/5 — Horrible partners

*2025-08-07, version 5.60*

Playing bridge with AI but AI that knows squat about bidding and playing. Opens with 5 points. Plays heart when previous player trumped it. Explores all the less suitable options until I’m stuck with 7 NT if you want to learn, or merely want a pleasant game , do NOT buy this app.

### 1/5 — Rubber bridge

*2025-03-12, version 5.59*

WORST. PARTNER EVER!

### 1/5 — Lots of mistakes

*2024-10-04, version 5.58*

Very primitive with lots conventional mistakes

### 1/5 — Omar Sheriff Bridge

*2024-05-28, version 5.31*

The cards layout and type are still the most sort after and manageable of all the bridge types yet produced and should never be allowed to take over from the original.

### 1/5 — Rubber bridge

*2024-05-22, version 5.58*

WORST. PARTNER EVER!
