We are always being asked about Bridge Apps and which once is the best.
We are always recommending Bridgebase because it's the World's largest bridge website and is where most bridge addicts meet, but there are many other Apps which are perhaps better at teaching people how to play the game.
The English Bridge Union published a great article in the August 2019 issue which is worth checking out. https://www.ebu.co.uk/
