This app is divided into several main tabs that you can select for more game choices and options. To make a selection, tap the choice you prefer.
In most secondary screens, there will also be a back button 
at the top to help you
go back a level.
You may also see 1 or 2 
selection
tools on the top right hand side. These provide further options like chatting, logging out, or when you
are at a table, convention card options.
If you are seated at a table, you will be able to navigate to the other tabs without losing your session and place at the table. (you can take your seat at a table, then switch to History to check out hand records at the table, then tap on Play again to go back to the table view.)
Finally, some options are presented as dropdown menu options - if you see a ▼, that means there are more options you can play with. For instance, choosing between IMP, MP and Total Points games using the dropdown menu.
Choose from a wide variety of games to play or watch.
Solitaire is where you can get a quick, low-stress game when you have no partner in tow.
Competitive comprises of all the Tournaments (ACBL, BBO, etc), Challenges, and Team Matches. Good stuff for tough players.
Casual adds more casual games to the mix. This is where you can start your own table with friends, find game options like "Help me find a game" or "Start a table with 3 robots" or "Main Bridge Club".
Practice allows you to work on your bridge via training tools like "Bidding table", "Teaching table", and "Bridge Master" software.
Each of the featured areas are shortcuts to the most popular activities on BBO - the premium ACBL and Robot games as well as exciting Challenge games. Vugraphs provide live broadcast of important international events, and you can look up the leading players around town via Masterpoints and Races.
This is where you can review your played hands.
