Versions of BBO software have different features

[garb]

The BBO software we install on Windows has more features then the other way of playing on BBO and settings are easier. For example, the dummy can see all the hands while the pardner is playing.

 

I would appreciate if there exist a version of this very software for Mac OS X and IOS. Using Windows software on wine for Linux is quite satisfactory, but has turned to be more difficult to install on a Mac with winebottler, and to my best knowledge, there is no equivalent for Ipad.

 

Do somebody has easy solutions for having Windows BBO equivalent on OS X and on IOS (at least on Ipad, for IOS) ?

It will never happen. All work on that version of BBO stopped years ago. Our limited programmer resources are devoted to the web and mobile versions.

Specifically, "dummy can see all cards" is a misfeature that has been deliberately deprecated - if you like it, and if you don't abuse it, you should thank the developers for their "no work on the Windows system" policy for not removing it.

 

The number of "claim, pard" or "vwd" calls before all the suits are known to break have gone down significantly - and I, as someone who frequently defends, and whose partners don't do that, very much appreciate it.

The BBO software we install on Windows has more of the features that I prefer than the other way of playing on BBO

FYP.

 

Actually I agree with the statement in the thread title. And when the Flash version was first introduced the opening sentence was correct unadjusted. But by now in my opinion in terms of pure numbers there are more features in the Flash interface.
