Reviews: What People Think About Bridge Ace - now PLAY LIVE!
Trees are cool
Rating: 4/5
Although I am a terrible bridge player, I am enjoying practicing on this app. Each “round” of duplicate deals 8 hands to up to 8 players. Your score is compared to the AI player, and also shows your rank among the other players. I intend on improving since I am competing against so many! I DO wish that this was similar to another app I use where it is possible to replay and replay the same hand and, if unable to make the contract, have the tutor explain what needs to happen. For now, though, it is an addicting game to play. I enjoy it unless I end up 8th out of 8😢but that’s my fault, not the app!

Bridge Ace has some nice features. Its bidding is all right, but it makes errors on play and defense that are absurd and frustrating. When the player is on defense, it has no idea how to handle opening leads. For example, in a suit contract I led a small heart from Qxxxx. Dummy came down with K9 in hearts, good trumps, and six solid clubs. Declarer played the hK and partner won the hA. It’s obvious that it’s time to cash the defense’s winners before declarer can pitch his losers on the clubs. What did partner do? He returned a club from xxxxx! That was the end of the defense. When the app is defending, it generally plays okay in the open room, but makes ridiculous mistakes in the closed room. For example, it might lead the king from Kxxxx in an unbid suit, handing declarer the contact. And it often ducks the setting trick, even when it’s obvious that declarer has the rest of the tricks. iBridge Plus made a lot of errors, too, but it was less frustrating than Bridge Ace. I’m going back to iBridge.
LATER - I’ve updated the critical review above from 2 to 5 stars because: Bridge Ace has significantly upgraded the software. It has been a long time since I’ve seen errors such as I mentioned above; I play Bridge Ace almost every day. It’s fun and it improves my game.

While the user interface is well designed and while I enjoy playing, I find myself frustrated in the following areas this leading to a 3 star review:
1-As in most bridge programs of this type, the authors use too many conventions. How about enabling a mode where most of these are turned off to support beginners who do not know or care not to learn them? Stayman and Jacoby xfer are the basics most of us learn early. Too many conventions are used here leading to a frustrating experience.
2-Where do you come off supporting an opening bid of one in a major with four cards? SAYC mandates a promise of five yet no matter what the setting your program continues to open with four in many cases. Never heard of this and also very frustrating.
3-It can be a bit frustrating replaying a hand to see how the ‘computer’ played it to earn so many points. After following many of these once again I get frustrated for it appears these conventions are coming out of nowhere leading to a contract that in no way would I have ever dreamed of playing in. In many cases it actually doesn’t even make sense. Many more times the play of the cards seems to be based on pure luck rather than strategy/ skill
4-Please - no program is bug free. Your recent email suggests otherwise.
About Bridge Ace - now PLAY LIVE!
BridgeAce has been developed by the same team which brought you iBridgePlus ten years ago - the app which consistently had the highest number of 5* reviews on the App Store, and which came top in most comparative tests against other Bridge apps. (Please don't just take our word for this - read the iBridgePlus reviews!)
The team is constantly looking to improve, and we are thrilled to launch BridgeAce, which takes 'solo' Bridge play to another level altogether:
• Ten years in development, by the team which brought you the 5* rated iBridgePlus app
• Superb International-standard Bridge Artificial Intelligence (AI) wrapped with an intuitive, clear, user-friendly interface
• Generous FREE period of use to test and evaluate the app
• NO ANNOYING ADS – transparent, flexible and affordable pricing structure with NO AUTOMATICALLY RECURRING SUBSCRIPTIONS
• Comprehensive ‘Hint’ and ‘Explain’ features to guide the beginner
• Powerful Bridge AI will challenge the expert player to the limit of their skills
• Play Rubber, Chicago, Teams or Duplicate * and now PLAY LIVE in REAL TIME with your chosen partner
• Unique ‘Memory Joggers’ feature **
• The AI can generate over 2.6 billion unique deals
BridgeAce is the ultimate ‘Solo’ Bridge app. You are always playing on your own, (that’s right … NEVER playing with or against another human) and you’re always partnered by, and playing against, the powerful AI.
• Select from one of the 22 built-in bidding systems, from the most basic to the highly complex and technical
• All the systems are fully documented (and printable) for easy reference
• All bids (and bid hints) can be explained on screen, on demand.
• Tweak, change, or totally redesign bidding systems using the ‘Alter My System’ tool.
* Playing Duplicate on BridgeAce is a unique, unpressurised experience. You are given a set of eight hands, to play on your device, with your AI partner North, playing against the AI East/West opponents, all using your chosen bidding system. The SAME set of hands are given to 7 other users, who will be playing them under the same conditions, on their devices. Therefore the only ‘variable’ in the match are the eight human South players. When the results are published, many of you will realise that you are not as bad as you made yourself out to be, while some of you will awaken to the fact that you are not quite as good as you thought :-)
All the results are completely transparent, and you can examine how every competitor bid, and played the hand.
Duplicate is totally anonymous – only your display name is shown, so no-one will know who was the person who went down three in the simple 1NT contract!! :-)
** Whatever age we are, we all suffer from those ‘senior moments'. Memory Joggers (MJ) is a feature available in all modes (restricted use in Duplicate) to help you remember the important salient facts about the hand. Imagine this. You’re at trick 8, and cannot remember …
• Has the Queen of Hearts been played yet? – There’s a MJ which will tell you exactly which of the Top Honour cards are still out.
• How many hearts are still out? – There’s a MJ which will show you how many cards are out in the four suits.
• How many HCP has East shown so far – There’s a MJ to show how many HCP each hand has shown so far, and indeed you can drill down and see which cards every seat has played so far.
Memory Joggers is the perfect tool to help you train yourself to memorise these important elements of a hand during play.
What else makes BridgeAce stand out from the crowd?
• App is packed with instructional documents and videos to guide and help you
• ‘My Hands’ – a feature which enables you to save, annotate and replay memorable hands
• ‘Info’ button on every page with useful information
• Bespokable interface – get the look and feel that pleases you most
• International sets of cards for our friends from around the globe
• ‘Night Mode’ to dim the screen (your bed partner will LOVE this!)
