Good AI
Fri Sep 25 2015 cwroundabout7Lots of personality...for a checkers game. After a few thousand rounds you'll begin to understand what's meant by that. Good company in deep nights.
Don't care for having to diddle with a dialogue when making a double, and newer apps do away with this. If implemented, highlighting the route through multiple jumps and allowing these to be completed with minimal finger movements/dialogues would simplify play.
This is a great, stable app for passing the time while giving your brain a light workout.
Subpar program
Sun Dec 22 2019 No Kings in USAI’ve been using the free app for years, and while it was annoying at times, it was a decent app for being one of the free options. I recently decided to splurge and pay the $2 for the upgraded version. What a fool I am. The add box still pops up and wants to take me to the upgrade option, which then takes me to the store and clearly shows I have already done so. There are no new features, nor does it run any smoother. Also, as other reviewers have stated, the Network play option is ridiculous. There is no time limit for moves, and when you do get matched with someone, half the time they take their turn, and then disappear. The computer play option works well enough, so just do yourself a favor and keep your $2 and continue on your merry way with the free version.
Lousy as an internet game
Thu Jul 27 2023 ShoulderPodOther player never has to move. Game Center constantly logs you out and games disappear midway through. Really a poor excuse for an app. Players frequently quit, and there’s a hack where if you’re winning, and your opponent asks for a draw, and you click on “no” to the requested draw, your chips become your opponent’s and vice-versa, and you are now the losing player. It’s like this app maker knows nothing about checkers whatsoever. Microsoft games for checkers was the best to play against other good players, but sadly, Microsoft shut them down last year. The search for a worthy app continues...
Freezing
Thu Nov 26 2020 Zephur717I don not like the new piece on the checkerboard. For some reason they are not clear? The pieces look fuzzy and undefined. Can you make then look crisp? Sometimes, when the computer had two possible choices the game freezes and I have to set a new game from menu. Otherwise, I am always enjoying a game or two.

Great game
Sun Nov 05 2023 Unique Savage 132This is the greatest game that I have ever played. The “undo” button makes the gameplay easier, along with a finetuned difficulty that is very good. Also, the computer is very good for players that are improving their checkers skills like me. I would truly rate this app 5 stars. It is ideal wherever I go so that I can relax my mind.

Great game of Checkers
Mon Apr 08 2019 BSC1962I love the "undo" button that gives me another chance to make a different move.
Also, there are enough levels of play to choose from so that each player can select the one wanted.
Good fun
Mon May 30 2016 MagonagleIt is a bit annoying to be asked each time if I want to start a new or saved game when there is no saved game, and to have to answer yes in a pop up if I want to do a double jump. But it does loose gracefully.
App unable to match network games suddenly
Sun Jul 10 2016 camper4everThe app keeps saying it is "unable to match right now". I cannot play. This had been going on for two weeks. I like playing checkers. It would be nice if I could block certain players from playing with me. Some just start a game and then never play again or they just end it after one or two moves. It is the same players.
Napoleonbambo just started 21 games with me then ended right away. This is a waste if my time. I want to block this one.
Network Play does not work
Thu Nov 24 2016 Cadie BearPurchased this so that I can play against my daughter. If you download onto a device with a new iOS, there is no Game Center anymore. You try to invite friends and it tells you to do it through Game Center but Apple removed it and there is no longer a way for me to invite my daughter to play. Works fine if you want to play the computer.
Few Issues
Sat Feb 06 2021 Joe OceguedaI love this game! Clean with no extras!
I have three issues. It won’t keep score. Rematches with online friends put you in a weird loop. Maybe get rid of the pop up confirmation after each move? Other than that it’s perfect!! Make the changes!! We need this game in quarantine. 🥺
