Card basics, bidding, declarer play and defense, in five-minute drills across four rooms. Everything below is free. Bridge+ adds more of it.
Card rank, high-card points, tricks, trump, contracts, and who does what at the table.
Read a 13-card hand and decide between pass, a suit opening, and 1NT in a beginner Standard American framework.
Count winners, draw trump, establish long suits, finesse, and pick the right card in real table situations.
Opening leads, sequences, third-hand play, suit returns, and the partnership habits that make you easy to play with.
A daily mixed session pulls in the material you got wrong, so missed questions come back until you get them right.
Swipeable explanations behind every call and card, so a right answer teaches you something.
A second practice set in each beginner room, with fresh hands and questions added through the year.
Included with Bridge+
Conventions, advanced card play, and duplicate strategy for players moving past the basics.

Privacy Policy →How it's built.
Most people learn bridge at a weekly game or a beginner class, then have no way to practice until the next one. The lesson fades, the auction gets scary, and the same mistakes come back.
Bridge Trainer takes the parts beginners need most and turns them into short drills you can run standing in line: count the points, choose a bid, plan the play, pick a lead. No opponents, and an explanation on every answer.
The four beginner rooms stay free. Bridge+ is for players who want more reps and more depth: monthly or yearly (both with a 1-week free trial), or a one-time purchase for lifetime access. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and vary by region.
Extra practice sets. A second set of hands and questions in every beginner room, using the same drills you already know.
The Master Tables. Conventions, advanced declarer play and defense, and duplicate strategy, added to through the year.

Short sessions. A session is short enough to finish while the kettle boils. Nothing in the app asks you to sit down for an hour.
Reasoning over scoring. Every answer explains the bridge logic, because a beginner who knows why they were wrong improves faster than one who just sees a score.
Real 13-card hands. Drills use full deals rather than abstract puzzles, so the judgment transfers to the table.
What's free. All four beginner rooms are complete without paying. Bridge+ adds volume and advanced material; the basics are never locked.
Yes. Bridge Trainer is a free iPhone and iPad app with an Auction Room where you read a 13-card hand and choose the opening bid in a beginner Standard American framework. Every answer explains the reasoning.
