Features & Capabilities

Bid Whist is a strategic two-team trick-taking card game where two teams of two bid, play, and aim to win tricks to outscore their opponents. If you enjoy Spades, Bridge, or Hearts, you’ll appreciate the depth and planning this game demands.

This Chrome extension adds flexible options, automatic hand arrangement, and a shared scoreboard. Features include using the Deuce of Spades as a joker, low bid beating high bid, a board of four cards, and the ability to compare scores with other players. The notes cover core rules like Ace being the high card, automatic hand organization based on uptown/downtown bids and trump, and Boston scoring conditions.

User Reviews

User reviews consistently flag usability and stability issues after updates, with repeated concerns about readability, bidding logic, and game flow. Key points across reviews include small, hard-to-read cards; banners/ads obscuring the hand; freezes and lingering 'waiting for bids' states; and buggy bidding behavior. A minority note of graphic improvements and long-time use suggesting some value remains, but reliability and readability problems dominate overall sentiment.

Pros

Long-standing iOS Bid Whist app with a loyal, long-time user base.
Graphical updates are positively noted by some users (a nicer look) despite bugs.
Core Bid Whist gameplay remains functional and usable for many players.

Cons

Cards and symbols are hard to read due to small size and readability issues (often worsened by UI elements).
Frequent freezes and 'waiting for bids' states disrupt gameplay (rounds don’t finish, waiting messages linger).
Bidding logic and UI behavior are buggy (low vs high bid interactions, bid suggestions, and duplicate bids).
UI/UX layout is cluttered and text is small; banners or ads can obscure the hand.
Ads reappear after paying for ad removal (ad removal not consistently effective).

Recent reviews

This app has gotten worse. My partner has got to be the worst whist player ever. They make foolish plays no real player ever would. The dealing is also flawed. 90% of the time I get mediocre hands full of 8s 9s and 10s. Jokers are rare- about once in 20 deals. And for the love of the game, please get rid of the suggested bid.

Suggested Bid not on point Cards too small Don’t want the feature for repeating games with the same players Where is the sound control for the Boston Train?

As an 82 year old player I find the symbols hard to read. I have had this app for more than 15 years and I have shared it with many friends. The new look is far from good.
