Tricky Bridge: Learn & Play

One of the best card games, crazy that it's so underrated. And in terms of teaching how to do something, this app is the BEST EVER! Trust me, I've done some learning apps, I learned chess, poker, English, German, and Morse code from the apps, and although they were teaching it good, nothing can compete with this one. Absolutely brilliant. This app definitely deserves much more recognition.

My main issue is the price. The developer replied justifying their pricing as competitive with other bridge apps as well as highlighting that practice matches are free and unlimited, and I appreciate that. I upgraded my review from 1 to 3 stars in light of this, but I still think it could be offered for a single larger sum or the subscription could be less. They also informed me practice matches get bidding after level 20 which I didn't realize before and previously took issue with.

I LOVE this bridge app! I played quite a bit of bridge (incl. a bit of duplicate) a gazillion years ago, but of course am very rusty, so I thought I'd brush up and play with a group here in my adopted country, Ecuador. Repeat: I LOVE this app! The interface is fabulous and great fun. But it's the coaching that really SHINES! Every lesson - oh so clear, concise and uber-HELPFUL! Seriously. If you're aim is to learn or brush up on your bridge - THIS is the app you want! Kudos to the developers!

I'm getting back into Bridge after 15 - 20 years. The tutorials were very a well done, and entertaining, way to refresh the basic and intermediate concepts of the game. The duplicate games are a gentle and fun way to hone necessary skills and improve play. Easy to play a few hands when taking 5 to relax during busy day. Bravo!!!

Update: It's back, I guess I'll see if it stays! Older: I was up to level 38 in the lessons. When I came back to play today almost everything is reset! I'm back to level 1 and can just skip ahead to 38 without going through the levels. Nice fix! 🤬 Oh yeah, and I can't connect to FB and the "Write to Us" button doesn't work.

This app is awesome. There's a great set of cute tutorials for learning the basics of Bridge play and then a really nice duplicates tournament setup with tiers and rewards for play. There are zero ads in the app and the tutorials and practice play are 100% free. Tournament play requires purchasing deals, but the cost is very reasonable. I've never played Bridge before and have spent probably a dozen hours over the last week slotting games in while I wait in line or drift off to sleep. Awesome!

Best bridge app available currently. Best for teaching newbs, hands down, even though tutorial section isn't finished. But once you finish tutorial and play your free hands, it costs $ for everything other than practice mode. Which they deserve! Difficult game to program, and clearly made with love. But maybe make, like, 100 deals for $5? 50 for $4 doesnt even buy a week of daily tournaments. I wanna support, but paid packages could use minor tweaking. Excellent job though! Love the app!

decent bidding and decent play. I hadn't played in a long time, so I asked for instruction in the rules also. when I realized that I knew the rules well enough, I realized there was no way to skip ahead. When I eanted to skip ahead during the bidding tutorial I discovered that wasn't possible. Similarly when I wanted to practice but I had already made the play button appear, I couldn't make the practice button come back. I really like the quick tournament mode.

I was introduced to bridge many years ago but haven't played in a very long time. I decided to start this app as a total newcomer to the game, thinking the review would be helpful. It was, and also paInless, as the accompanying storyline was somewhat entertaining. It helped me get back up to speed with my game, so now I'm looking forward to how it's AI performs in competitive mode. Recommended as a nice tutorial for those wanting to learn the basics of bridge.

So far, a great app card game. The tutorials are super-cool, easy to pick up, user-friendly, and quickly instructed to learn. Players can go back to re-play matches, win specialty playing decks, and bid to boost their scores. I am just a novice, but after playing only the beginner's level tier, I feel this bridge app is most likely one of the better games offered. I am not so sure about the tournament challenges for multi-player, but it should be good.

A surprisingly sophisticated, elegant, robust and ad-free game with features for teaching you the rules and play of a complicated but historically popular card game. The team that wrote this app has won awards. Those are well deserved. There are a ton of features for playing bridge tournaments after you've learned the game, and generally in the app. I know a lot of similar trick-taking card games, but it took me a long time to finish the lesson. It was worth it, though. Long live BRIDGE!

No response to errors in app. Good: The UI is excellent, good coaching for starters. Bidding is generally good. Good gamification by means of levels. Bad: In the past few months, bidding has become erratic. Two players, with the same bids from the EWS, will see variations, in N's bids. And at higher levels, N's bids can be very aggressive. Levels are maintained incorrectly. I see the same players again and again. The same 10-15 players... No response ever to bug reports.

Although I'm still in "Learning" mode, I'm giving this 5 stars because I have never had a game explained to me so well, so in depth, nor have I ever, had my mistakes explained to me, then been given a chance to replay the hand to do it differently. In the first couple hands my mistakes were pointed out, but not in later hands but I was still able to replay the level and try on my own to figure out why I had failed the hand. I UNDERSTAND Bridge!! I never thought it possible!! EXCELLENT job devs!

Great game. The tutorial is probably one of the best (in humor and pace). Solo play is great, especially the ability to replay hands. Tournaments are great. I love that you can see how others played the hand and I like the formats. Some bugs in bot betting (ignoring 2C convention) and having achievement unlocked card backs (e.g. Big Game) randomly be unselectable is pretty frustrating. Those bugs take me out of the fun just enough to dock a star, but otherwise this game is great.

Just learned how to play, did the tutorial up through bidding. I played my first quick tournament and in 2 out of 4 rounds I tied for 2nd place somehow. I must be a Bridge genius! I still don't know how a game is scored. As it never occurred to me to learn until now, having saw bridge in the newspaper growing up, the tutorial might've immediately mentioned what cards are exposed during the game, as I was thinking wow a card game that's so technical, all hands are exposed during play.

BRAVO!! BRAVO!! THIS APP IS AMAZING!! I was begrugingly learning bridge-I was so lucky to come across this app-Every app should have a Tricky Bot!! The art, the teaching, the humor, the awareness of the beginner player's plausible mindset as they keep moving you ahead, the break down of steps and the tips during exercises are outstanding! I like a lot of different apps for many different reasons-From start to finish from visual to instruction to interface---THIS IS A 100🌟 APP!!

The app performs well and the story is interesting enough. Bridge is a very complicated game and has a very complicated convention of playing. It goes over the rules once to introduce them and gives challenges to provide a level of hands on learning but it really isn't enough. There are guides when playing but they seem to be less useful the more you need them. Also I wish there was a way to get pointers after losing so I can know what I can do better. I rarely want hand-holding but it's needed
