This is the perfect ap for those just starting out or returning after a long break. It's so much quicker than using books and not needing an internet connection us a real plus. You will need to know the point value of cards though. But that is virtually day 1 lesson 1 of bridge. Recommended app.

I'm learning ACOL at the moment, but we were told two four card runs bid bottom up, two five card runs bid top down. Whole display doesn't fit on my s7's huge screen and I have to scroll up to bid every time. Just the first bid though so not too long to master. Cheap though, and graphics are pretty good.
