Percentages of finesses

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.

Bridge tournaments not for beginners

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.

Decent game, annoying bidding

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.

Contracts

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

Awful layout, no way to adjust display

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.

Horrible partners

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.

Rubber bridge

WORST. PARTNER EVER!

Lots of mistakes

Very primitive with lots conventional mistakes

Omar Sheriff Bridge

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.

Rubber bridge

WORST. PARTNER EVER!

Hopeless overbidding

I have used this app for many years but have now decided to give up on it. The level of ludicrously optimistic bidding has made it no longer playable.

Contracts

Sick of getting hand after unbiddable hand. This is a game and it’s good to play defense but the app is primarily to play

Funky

No provision to replay hand. No way to claim.

Disappointed

I used to use this app over 10 years ago. I liked it a lot. Then got Bridge Baron. Which was great but expensive. With my latest phone I went back to this and am not happy. I like to play a simple Goren style. All the convoluted conventions you use are too much.
For example I want to set it to require me or my partner to have five trump to open. There are so many conventions the simple game is lost.

Beginner

What I don’t like is my “ partner” opening 1 NT. With 8 points and no face cards. I’m always skipping to the next deal because cards-less fool puts me in terrible contracts

Awful

The % of times you will get very low points is unreasonable. Opponents get great hands a statistically unreal # of times. The card order, no matter what you choose for your pref, winds up putting blacks and reds together, making your hand hard to read.
And this is the exact same game as Bridge V+ only at a higher price

Frustrating!

So frustrating! A lot of times my partner will open with 9 points or less in his hand. Or as a response to my opening will take me to the next level with 3 or 4 points in his. I would not recommend this app. to anyone. 0 stars

Wrong game with results sent

I have gotten results of games I didn’t participate in. Just now received result… I played the game 4 players but my name is not mentioned. It’s like I didn’t play!!!
Don’t understand??????

Tournaments ?

The app is stuck in some sort of “Tournement” mode. Can’t play simple Bridge. Will delete app if it doesn’t correct itself?
