Most of the time, a claim is unambiguous and can be quickly accepted or declined.

But sometimes, in the interest of time, declarer claims when he must still lose one or more tricks. Most declarers are honest, and account for that in their claims by clicking the box that says opponents get 1 or 2 etc. more tricks. However, the pop-up that defenders see only shows the number of tricks claimed, and does not show the number of tricks declarer concedes to the opps. Often this results in a player reflexively rejecting because he know he's still due one or more tricks. It can be a pain when declarer claims 6 more tricks when 8 cards are outstanding.

I recommend adding a line to the claim box opponents see to show how many tricks are conceded, in addition to the number of tricks claimed.

I'll second the motion for this recommendation. Often in MBC a claim like this takes quite a long time for non real expert opps to see.
