Learn bridge
Clear rules, explained bidding, commented hands and corrected exercises, checked card by card. In development: Bridge hors ligne, to play alone and offline against the computer, which plays the other three seats, with hints, a trick review and an analysis of every deal.
The app has not been released yet. It runs as a development build on Mac; test versions exist on iPhone, iPad and Android. No release date has been announced.
On phone, tablet and computer
The display adapts to the screen. On a phone held in landscape, the bidding and score panel collapses into an icon to leave the whole space to the table; tapping the icon opens it over the table. On tablet and computer, the table and the panel stay side by side.

Bridge in a few lines
Bridge is played by four people, in two partnerships sitting across from each other: North-South against East-West. Each player receives 13 cards.
A deal is played in two stages. First, the bidding sets the contract: the number of tricks to take, with a trump suit or at notrump. Then comes the play of the cards: the side that won the auction tries to make its contract, and the other side tries to defeat it.
To get off to a good start, count your high-card points (ace 4, king 3, queen 2, jack 1) and read the rules. Everything else builds on that.
