Omar Sharif Bridge Card Game App Reviews

It took a while to find a bridge game for the I-phone. Its still a bit buggy and to go back is still a bit unlogic. The look isnt the best. Still some work to do, but if you like bridge it gives a good playing posssibility.

It is not as good as an older version I used to have. I would have had no more to say, apart from the fact that it is quite good playing, but in the meantime the game froze nothing I could do to unfreeze it. This should not happen.

Absolutely wonderful game for all who are hooked on bridge. Standard American or Acol play. Only scores rubber so sometimes computer doesnt bid high enough. Apart from that I would highly recommend it!

I think the game is excellent. Its arrangement has been well thought out. The bidding and the playing are straight forward and clear. There is scope to replay a hand, or some portion of a hand if one makes an error. The scoring is efficient.

Wow, Great service. Ive just downloaded the latest update (1.22) and the Review/Replay problems are fixed. Thanks!

I enjoy this game! My partner occasionally overtakes my bid, without the supporting cards. But so does my niece. Its not perfect, but its great fun. I tried the lite version of bridge Barron , and I much prefer this programs game play and graphics. If you get the urge to play, this does the trick.

While the game play is markedly better than Bridge Baron, this iPhone version has two major drawbacks: 1. the partner bids without the points AND bids up my bid. The number of times Ive been stuck in 4 spades without the ace or king is a bad AI 2. the West player (Im South) always has the king to beat my queen. After months of playing this game, I can reliably predict the opponent card distrubtion which vary significantly from the theoretical distribution given a truly random simulation. Perhaps the iPhone OS uses a pseudo-random number generator and the game uses fixed seeds?!? Summary: its a great game, but the real world has better shuffling....

The deck seems stacked in East Wests favour. Played over 40 hands South had no more than 8 points most of the time less. The few times I did bid north supports with no points to back it up. Sorry I paid for this I was hoping for better.

While this is a great game, it does not seem to be optimized for ios4, as it is slow, and seems to get slower with use.

Used to be great on iPod 1st gen. Just got an iPod 4g and this apps becomes very slow!! Needs an update ASAP

Its unfortunate because I find the screen well laid out and easy to use for both playing and bidding. But I get into bidding wars with my "partner" probably 1 time in 4 hands! He does ludicrous things: one time I bid 1 Spade, West Passed and my partner countered with 4 Spades! And he keeps bidding me up - many times without the cards to back him up! Play is another issue: Im pretty sure the computer cheats with his blind hands. For example, Ive played probably 100 hands: not once has East ever led a low suit, I put a Queen down, and I win the hand. West always has a King! The odds against this are astronomical!

this is a terrible program compared to Bridge base and bridge baron.

Eg. Bids 2 with a strong hand. No one plays that way any longer. Lots of other plays go against current conventional play.

While I agree with other reviewers that sometimes the bidding is wonky, Im mostly using the app to learn, improve and understand. Mostly I love it. What would improve the game for me would be a "review" or "display all" button that I could use to move from the bidding to laying out all of the hands without having to go through actually playing. Id appreciate being able to easily see what each hand was bidding on without having to individually go through preferences to display N, S, E and W. Often I like to just bid the games and try to understand what happened with the auction. Another ideal feature would be being able to set the hands myself, not just choosing from a set of the, but to deal up a game that Ive read about and try it on my own.

This is a rip off. Not at all like the windows older version. Dont buy it

I have been using this game fo several years, and loved it. Since the update on the program I can no longer enjoy it, as the new graphics make it hard to see the card values. Please repair or replace. I star for being able to play, but having to discontinue because it is very hard to see. By the way, I originally purchased this app.

Latest version the AI doesnt play very well. For example AI leads a suit that I can trump on defence. When AI regains lead and has more of that suit it doesnt lead them. Ive often had opponents make a game that I could have defeated this way. Annoying.

Displays only half a size on my new iPad 2012.

Should be updated for ios 9

Minor improvements might be needed, but overall a great game
