★★★★☆Natalie Davenport· Sep 29, 2021
Unable to play the hands. Cards don't move-bidding is ignored Have been playing for a few years now. Why this shut off?
★☆☆☆☆Rosi Yule· Mar 24, 2020
Paid and installed but on the 2nd go it wouldn't open. Wouldn't move beyond the info card. Not impressed
★☆☆☆☆Richard Booty· Dec 31, 2021
Makes very basic bidding mistakes, for example, bot partner opens 1 diamond, I respond 1 heart (forcing for one round) bot partner passes. Game will support on first round with only 3 card support. I could go on and don't expect the card play to be any better.
★☆☆☆☆Peter J Donaldson· Aug 4, 2025
New upgrade does not open. Change button not working at all. Terrible customer service. Please advise as to how to play.
