BBO – Bridge Base Online

The app is dated. You have to be online continuously and any connection issues such as temporary disruption of the WiFi or cellular signal will log you out. Until recently this was not such a big deal, however, lately the app will require that you see a couple of adds for games and whatnot before allow you to continue to play. This can take half a minute to end. That would be ok for a partly free to play app, however, there is no way to pay to remove adds. At the current state the app is annoying and simply dysfunctional

Mobile version has been updated recently correcting previous errors. Much appreciated. This app is perfect for playing bridge and entering tournaments and learning skills. The app and platform are excellent. Sometimes the people who use the app are annoying. there are some changes I would like to see. 1. Make auto play singletons the default. It would really speed up play. 2. Disable the Remove player button until they have received a notice about your turn to play. Too often some players rudely remove a player in the middle of a game, based upon their thought that the player is messing up, but they cannot even see your hand. Other times the host is looking at the players profile and hits the remove player button by mistake.

Ever since I changed to iPad Pro 2nd generation, I couldn’t enjoy the game as well as I used to. No sounds— however i try, it stays mute. Also the ads so very often strikes me so long that it logs me off during the game. Many a time I couldn’t finish my good games! So frustrating! Otherwise, BBO is the best bridge site.

This was a pretty good app, but now the ads take over and can’t be stopped without quitting and starting a new log in. Very frustrating and spoils the enjoyment. Also seems to be an increase in cheating by some pairs in some regions.

Please limit or eliminate ads on BBO Thank you.

Is there an address version to purchase. Not interested in annoying ads every time I walk away.

This game use to let you use the iPad app with a table layout that was easy to use looked like a functional table, to play bridge online with friends and family. That was taken away and the online game is now a very crude web like interface. Extremely difficult for seniors play. It is very difficult to control bots from interfering with your play.

Every time I Login I can only play for 10 minutes max. The all of a sudden I’m Logged out in the middle of play! This happened to me about 8 times. I called Apple Support and gave me some suggestions if it’s with Apple. But it’s in your App.

Initially, I thought this app was the greatest way for me to learn more than the basics of Bridge. I could play, at my own speed, against robots. But as I gained experience, I realized that the basic robots make VERY foolish bids. For example, bidding 1 spade with 13 points and only 3 mediocre spades in it’s hand. This has led to a very frustrating learning experience for me. The interface is excellent and I love see the explanations of bids. So if the « robots » followed even the most basic of bidding rules, I would give the app a five.
