Does almost what you would expect. In England, the ebu blue book says the bids should remain in place until the opening lead is faced but this app hides them after 3passes and one must press another button to review the auction. I couldn't see how to proceed to a non -sequential board, essential in a movement with relays or sharing.

This is a great app. My Bridge teacher used it on a big screen TV to explain some advanced bidding step by step. Really Cool! Since I don't have any bidding boxes at home, this app comes in handy to track vulnerability and who the declarer is.

Very useful app for bridge at home. But the opening screen has E and W reversed...... Oops!
