BBO – Bridge Base Online

After updating into iOS 14.2 the game is having problems with fitting into the screen. It looks like the game makes its graphic output into a window slightly wider than the screen width, so that I can move the output to the left and to the right a bit by swiping. Also after the phone was flipped horizontally the game adjusts the format of graphics to horizontal. However, when the phone is flipped back vertically, the image becomes like 4 times greater than the screen as if you are looking at it via a magnifying glass.

In updated version you cannot easily see results of other tables. Previously I could just tap two times: score-other tables to see and compare, now there is no such button, and to get that one should go to History-game-other tables. If you return to game from out there and then want to see other’s results for your next game, you should tap 6 times, as History stays at the same previous game tables list. It’s very annoying (as it’s almost always interesting to see what was the right way to bid/play) and can be fixed by just adding button Other tables next to “Next card” in the page showing how you yourself bid and played. Ability to change language of the app would also be very helpful (I am from Russia and is obliged to use Russian language as a must, but would prefer to change it to English, as Russian translation is far from ideal).

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.
