FEATURES ◆ Choose Contract Bridge or IMP scoring ◆ For iPhone and iPad (synchronized) ◆ Unique option: Score Adjustment ◆ Statistics after each round ◆ Save played rounds ◆ Quick start for regular players ('Recycle') ◆ Use offline ◆ No ads and no selling of data ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ▶ SCORE ADJUSTMENT (option) The Score Adjustment option ensures that a high score does not necessarily depend on being dealt a strong hand by chance. With this setting, the app calculates a so-called target score for the leader on each board. This target score is an approximation of the score the declarer should achieve, based on the points, suits, and number of trumps in their hand. After each board, the target score is subtracted from the actual score. ▶ STATISTICS After closing a round, a range of statistics is presented, including how often each player was declarer, which suits were played, the distribution of final bids, and more. ▶ RECYCLE Choose Recycle to instantly start a new game with the same players, scoring method, and score adjustment settings — perfect for players who regularly play together. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ QUESTIONS, FEEDBACK, REQUESTS? https://www.bridgescore.app/questions/ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ PRIVACY POLICY https://www.bridgescore.app/privacy-statement/ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ TERMS OF USE https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
