is it possible to download Java to an IPad. Java is needed to use the Bridgeclublive app.

iPad do not support Java.

If Bridgeclublive is indeed an "app" as you said it is then Java is not required. Just download the app from the app store if it exists there.

Bridgeclublive is not an App it is a website which requires Java to run its bridge "app". Apps aren't only on the iPad you know! 😉

However, there is an App in the App Store called BridgePlayer which states that it can connect with the Bridgeclublive website.

Here's the link for that App:
