Read full description

This app is made to score one rubber in Bridge. It is easy to use and replaces pen and paper. In addition the app does all the math behind the points for you and where they go. When the app first starts, it is an empty sheet. By pressing the "Add Score" button you can add the score for one played hand. Choose the side that played, the suit and tricks bid, and how many tricks where made. Also make sure to set whether it was a double bid and if the playing side gets any points for Honors (having four of the top five trump cards, for example). By pressing "Add Score" again the app displays the points accordingly. With the "Undo" button the last entered hand can be removed. Long press on the "We" or "They" gives you the ability to change the names of the teams. This will also be changed in the "Add Score" screen. "Reset Game" deletes the current rubber and gives you a new blank page. Until then, the app saves the current rubber. This app was Stephi Goering's first app ever!

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/
