Pros and cons of Shark Bridge Card Game app for iPhone and iPad

Shark Bridge Card Game app good for

Genuine duplicate bridge program...great practice for anyone wanting to improve their skills.

by far the best free bridge app on the iPad...and it is well worth the $20 to upgrade ...the daily tournaments are just long enough (16 hands)...and the next day you can play the hands you did not do well over again getting hints at every move! terrific learning tool, I paid a lot more for bridge baron 25 on my desktop...dont use it anymore

A very challenging game. It is certainly helping me to improve my game. I recommend it highly!

This is my favorite game. I play it every morning. And love working my way up in the standings.

This is a great bridge app... The best one I have ever used. The $20 upgrade fee is well worth it! Recommend it highly

One of the extra features of the paid version (which requires an ongoing subscription) is the ability to program in practice hands. This is a wonderful combination with a bridge problem book. Quickly enter in the hand and work through it. The hints feature can help guide you through if you get stuck by offering readable descriptions of the ideal strategy. I highly recommend!

Some bad moments

This app forgets my email and password. Worked for a week. Then says my informatio invalid. When i say send password, get an email the only asks if i want to unsubscribe

This bridge program is an expensive joke. Extremely slow, horrible ergonomics, limited functionality

Trump is not moved to the left hand position whe playing Difficult boards to see and play Cannot see who is vulnerable Cannot always play 16 boards at one time. Should be able to go in and out in one day

Undisciplined negative doubles, undisciplined weak 2s (frequently 5 cards), passed forcing bids, unable to add points between partners opening bids and robot hand resulting in missed lay down games and slams. Very frustrating.

I love the daily tournaments (you have to pay about $20/yr for that), but the bidding is usually frustrating and often downright ridiculous. Its good practice, but needs improvement.

The first time I logged on, there was one other player online; the second, there were two. How is it possible for a free game app to have no players online?
