Ratings and Reviews
BrijPro as a learning tool for a beginner
During Coronavirus lockdown I have played my bridge online at a very rapid pace for a beginner. I have used BrijPro to replay the boards to verify whether the correct contract was played and card play maximised the tricks taken. This has highlighted mistakes made by my partner and I or the opposition. Once I have entered a board manually into BrijPro I can replay it as often as necessary until techniques new to me are clearly understood and added to my repertoire. I frequently revise from my saved boards. BrijPro is particularly good for saving instructive boards.
One of the best bridge apps
This is one of the best bridge apps I have tried. It’s The only one I have stayed with. It has so many features and options and it is very easy to play. Their technical support is second to none. I emailed them early one morning and had a reply with a temporary fix within minutes and a full fix by the end of the day. This app also has the potential of being even greater in future if a wider range of preset games can be loaded up. Maybe you can purchase say ALL the exercises from the English Bridge Union Books. Well done to the developers.
This is helping me and my game.
I’ve not played Bridge for many years but as I’m now caring for my wife who has been suffering from Alzheimer’s for the past 11 years, I’m finding playing this app is helping me keep my mind active and improving my game. The scoring system the app employs is way above my head at the moment but I’m not doing so bad and it’s especially nice to score percentage points even when failing to win the contract! I try not to use the ‘undo’ button unless I’ve pressed the wrong icon but it can be useful in maintaining concentration. A great app I’m happy to recommend.
