### 5/5 — Love this game

*2018-01-27, version 2.4.1*

The other BW apps where not as good as this one

### 5/5 — German M

*2017-12-13, version 2.4.1*

By far the best bid whist game in the App Store. Can play off-line in practice mode. I’ve tried them all.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2017-04-15, version 2.2.0*

First good bid whist game I've found here.  Game flows well and follows standard rules.   Like being able to set the rules for the game.

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2017-03-14, version 2.2.0*

This is the first bid whist game that actually plays like we do at home. The cats are a little small, but that doesn't bother me that much. I'm just glad that after trying all the other bid whist games that I've finally found one that is on point. I would pay for this one.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2017-03-03, version 2.2.0*

I have been looking for an online whist game that allows me to play with my friends who live a long distance from me.  This is the game!  I like that I can set the rules regarding bidding, scoring, and jokers.

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2016-12-13, version 2.1.0*

Love this game.  It has 2 modes that are ideal for player who sometimes wants less challenge and more practice. I'm a novice player who does not like the variations in the bid process but now that I have more opportunities to practice I will be more aggressive in a live game. I also like that in the practice mode you can shuffle through hands do you can experience a myriad of scenarios that will prepare you for more advance play.

### 5/5 — Nt4 downtown

*2016-11-09, version 2.0.6*

Great game better than spades. I was taught the game while I was stationed in Europe.

### 5/5 — Best Whist Game App so far

*2016-11-09, version 2.0.6*

This is a really good game - not perfect - put pretty close. Sometime the Computer Partner will drive you nuts holding on to a card you're looking for  - But overall, it's a great attempt to realism

### 4/5 — Pretty good app

*2016-09-30, version 2.0.5*

The only thing I would add is double points for a Boston (getting all the tricks) and being able to pick an aviator or photo of yourself near your name😊😊
Hey what happened to playing real people and not the computer....🙄🙄🙄

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The bidding system doesn’t work

*2020-05-14, version 2.4.1*

I shouldn’t have to decide the trump suit and direction before getting the kitty. Also need middle bids

### 1/5 — Partner Computer Screws Up Much Too Often

*2017-01-21, version 2.1.0*

Would have given this game a solid rating except for excessive number of times my partner CPU has bid over the top of my successful bid --- then proceeded to lead us to getting set.

This has happened three times in a row now (and too many times overall) that I put in bid that stood until my partner took me out. For example, I bid 3-High then he'll bid 4-Low. In my latest hand, I bid 4 Low and he out-bid me with a 4-No. And of course he didn't have the hand to hold a 4-No.  in the earlier example, he didn't have enough to hold 4-Low.  It's like my partner CPU is purposefully trying to get us beat. 

This is frustrating and leads me to feel like there should be a setting to suppress your partner CPU bids during practice. Until they fix and address this, my bid for this game is 1-Star.

### 2/5 — Major Flaws with playing

*2017-01-07, version 2.1.0*

I really liked this app until I was playing against the computer and IT KEPT 2 JOKERS IN A NO TRUMP HAND!!
Somebody needs to fix this! All respect lost!

### 3/5 — Bin

*2022-05-04, version 2.4.1*

I loved this App before I chose to play straight whist. The “human” player and partner  rarely wins. Horrible! There is no way the two computerized players are ALWAYS dealt the higher cards and trumps. Hello…that would never happen. I have played whist forever, it seems. Straight whist with my dad and bid whist with friends and other relatives. What in the world…

### 3/5 — Ads getting longer

*2020-05-21, version 2.4.1*

I’ve been enjoying playing this whist for several months. Th ads were an asset, short and sweet. But suddenly the ads started getting longer. I use experienced having to wait what appeared to be 30 seconds before being able to play. Who wants to wait that long each time before playing??

### 3/5 — Good Game

*2019-07-28, version 2.4.1*

This is a great card game. The app works well. To improvements would be great.

One, would be to allow the minimum bid to be set at four and not have to change it to four from three every time the app is opened. Two, it would be better if the App have the capability to allow for review of a single book or several books after they have been played.

### 3/5 — Aggressive

*2017-02-26, version 2.2.0*

I'm a long time player. I never play a game where you can play a 3. That's for beginners. Players who really know how to play play AGGRESSIVE example. If I bid a 4 up you can not bid a 4 low. You would have to go 5 low. But a No can outbid anyone.  It stops those baby bids I think you need to make the cards a little larger.

### 4/5 — MissLee

*2017-09-29, version 2.4.1*

Overall Whist game lots of fun. The ability to chat during the game is definitely a plus!

### 4/5 — Good Bid game!!....But...

*2017-09-19, version 2.4.0*

I really like this game!! It's the best Bid game I've played. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because you can't play it offline.

### 4/5 — Almost feels like a real game.

*2017-02-15, version 2.1.0*

Been actively having fun in competitive bid whist. Fun, fun ya hoo. One complaint, the computer as a partner plays like an amateur and can cause one to get set, needs improved skills.

*2020-08-13, version 2.4.1*

Trickster whist has allowed me to reconnect with some old card playing buddies.  I appreciate the ability to customize some of the rules.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2020-07-27, version 2.4.1*

The only problem I have is a friend and I like to play together and would like to play with two random players instead of the computer. Otherwise it’s great.
