Great but need to fix crashes

I’m enjoying this app. Lots of opportunities to play and learn. However it crashes way too often. Also you need to create help files for how to interrupt the analysis and what the analysis means.

Questionable play by the robots on Shark Bridge

Getting outscored by the robot team which is bidding and making contracts that make no sense for the points held. On Slam bidding explorations, the robots don’t seem to understand use of Roman keycard conventions either. Very frustrating.
