Great Game!

We have learned to be pretty good party bridge players using this game. But I came to say how good the developers are, we had a problem installing the paid version and they stayed in touch, gave detailed instructions, and got us up and running. Thank you very much. Great app!

Great program

The 16 board daily challenges are always interesting, and play is natural

Great Fun!

I enjoy having the ability to play bridge 24/7!! I play with friend online three times a week with friends I’ve met online. But, I enjoy being able to practice whenever I wish… on my own. Well done, app designers! Plus, anyone can reach out to them… via email and they are quick to get back to you with answers, support. It’s the best app online!!

Better on ipad or mac

Any time I can practice is good but if I have the option to practice on my ipad or mac - i prefer using those devices. I can’t speak about playing against others as I only practice on shark bridge
