Landscape mode is here! Rotate the table for a wider view of your hand — every phase of the game now plays comfortably in landscape or portrait. Also in this update: smoother reconnection when returning to the app, rooms now stay open between rounds so friends can keep playing together, and assorted stability fixes.

Faster startup for users on slower networks: the app now pre-warms its connection to our servers as soon as it launches, so the first login lands within seconds instead of waiting through the cold handshake.

Quick Match reliability improvements with a 5-minute queue timeout. Better room handling — return-to-lobby option, seat release on exit, and proper room cleanup when leaving mid-game. Bidding and result screens now adapt cleanly to small displays. Plus a fix that prevents the trump suit from briefly leaking during bidding, top-bar safe-area polish, and general stability fixes.

Tab-bar icons now display correctly. Added an About sheet in Settings showing app version, privacy policy, terms of service, and account deletion. Game table polish: top-bar re-layout, locked kitty position, and captured-score row sorted by rank + suit so totals are easier to scan. Plus general stability fixes.

Game table polish: refined top-bar layout, smoother orientation handling, full kitty-pile display matches the count label, and tighter visuals in the bottom-reveal modal. Plus stability fixes and updated forfeit-button layout.

Bug fixes and stability improvements: smoother input handling on iPad, refined gameplay UI, and various small visual polish across the app.

BidFive is now fully playable. This release upgrades the earlier placeholder build into a real-time multiplayer trick-taking strategy game, with account login, room creation and joining, point calls, trump selection, live matches, match records, and result sharing.
