Practice makes perfect

As a true bridge enthusiast, you have probably already read a deal commentary written by an expert. In a book, in a magazine like Bridgerama+ or even on the Funbridge blog… But do you sometimes have difficulties putting yourself in the shoes of the declarer whose mission is to find the best plan of play? Say no more, we have designed the perfect solution for you: from now on, you will be able to play a commented deal before discovering the expert’s analysis. Nothing beats practice.

The biggest deal library ever built

Join us and discover a library of commented deals like you’ve never seen before! At the time of writing, nearly 250 commented deals are already awaiting you and more than 500 others are being integrated by our bridge experts.

These deals are in fact bridge problems where you play on the attacking side to make a preset contract. You have to find THE plan of play that will lead you to the expected result. Here is a very entertaining game mode that will put your card play skills to the test!

  1. There are NO “commented deals ” in the Get started practice area. Can’t just one thing be easy ?

    • Hi Paul, I see that your iOS app has not yet been updated to the latest version, which is why you are not seeing the commented deals. Try to open the app store and manually update your app to test this new mode as soon as possible!

  2. Hey, I have two questions. I have premium programme valid thru July of 2023 (one year more). If I want to use comment deals I have to pay full price for Premium plus – but most of functions are the same or similar. Do you prepare some offer for players who like your app and have premium programme bought for long time, or this money are lost? 2nd matter – I bought commented tournaments and they disapeared – are there also lost money or you have some proposal according to not used commented tournaments? Greetings, IR.

    • Hello Igor, we have an ongoing discount on Premium+ plans, to celebrate the launch and thank our long-time players. In any case, with or without a discount, you should know that the money you spent on a Premium subscription is never lost: when you upgrade from Premium to Premium+ we calculate a prorata based on your remaining subscription time. For your second question, the commented tournaments have indeed been removed in favor of the new commented deals, much more interesting in our opinion. Players who still had a stock of commented tournaments purchased were offered diamonds to compensate for this disappearance.

  6. Now. In our exclusive tournament we can’t see the names of the players on each hand and what they bid and made. This pretty well takes the Fun out of Funbridge because the message board was used to kibbutz with everyone about their result on each hand.

    • Hi Judy, this is strange, exclusive tournaments haven’t change in a long time. The message board is still there, you can access it from any “end of deal” screen. Maybe you can contact our customer service to sort this out? This will allow you to discuss with our team and maybe send a screenshot to explain the matter. Thanks!

    • Hi Tom, I see you’re indeed an annual Premium user, you subscribed through our website shop. Actually if you decide to upgrade to Premium+ right now using our website shop (https://funbridge.com/store) you won’t pay anything until your next subscription renewal. Your remaining Premium subscription will be converted into Premium+ and your next renewal date will be automatically adjusted. Please note that there is a discount applied to Premium+ subscriptions at the moment so it may be the best time to give it a try.

  9. Use the App Store $399. No confirmation of pro rata discount. The communication is abysmal and shambolic.

  10. I have tried to renew my subscription since April l was not able to renew with my new credit card so l was not able to play unless I renewed by banking on line. Why have you done this? Why can’t I pay with my new credit card? I don’t use banking on line why are trying to force me ? Emily5

    • Hello Emily,
      Customer Support has answered you several times about this matter. The new security systems the banks have put in place may be a bit confusing initially, but you have no choice but to follow the steps if you want to buy online services. Not only ours but all of them.
      Customer Support will help you the best they can. Still, ultimately, if you need advice about how to use your payment method safely online, we recommend you ask your bank how their security methods are working to pay online. Most banks have an online guide to help users with this matter.

    • Hello, it appears you have put your subscription on your second account, with the nickname McKool instead of Finn McKool. So I recommend using this one to play with all your advantages. This account is linked to your Gmail address if you want to reinitialize the password if you don’t remember it.
      If you need help with that, don’t hesitate to reach customer support here: https://funbridge.zendesk.com/hc/fr/requests/new
      Enjoy your game!
