I used Bridge Baron years ago and thought it was good. Now, the 29 version has major flaws. One, the hints are worthless. Example, computer opened with 2 clubs. I had 10 points so I knew we were in slam territory. I asked for a hint and it told me to pass. This happens often. Better off on Bridge Base online.
I like the BB App. But I now have a glitch when the new game opens that the West cards cover over the first two South cards; making bidding impossible. I cannot find any way to rectify this defect.
Stephen Freeman, We are having this problem as well. Started a few days ago. Hoping for some answers!
Stephen Freeman, I have the same problem with the west cards covering the first two south cards. I’m hoping they’ll fix this very soon otherwise I’ll cancel my subscription. No point in keeping it if I can’t see my own cards.
Stephen Freeman, it’s horrible. Just started doing this last week. Will be canceling if not corrected.
Stephen Freeman, me too - I have emailed them from the website but not confident of getting a reply.
BB 14 runs fine on Windows 11.
