I love this game
Thu May 28 2020 Teeba ❤️I found myself recently obsessed with checkers, this game has great graphics, sounds and I love that you have unlimited hints. You can play against a robot or with someone else. But there is one thing for the difficulty, I always set it on easy but I still find it really hard to beat the robot. But switching it to the hardest difficulty seemed easier than the lowest difficulty... I’m just a little confused. Overall I’d definitely recommend this, great time killer if you’re bored.
A little annoying
Sun Jul 01 2018 Magaret12 B.Well even though there are some unfortunate things this game is okay.
But my complaint is that if you have a jump then it practically makes you jump your opponent . The reason this annoys me is because I could either move forward to the right or jump my opponent to the left but because I could jump him the game wouldn’t let me move forward without jumping him. And the reason I didn’t want to jump him was because I would just get jumped back. And that caused me to lose the game . And although there are other games to play , when I want to play checkers on my phone , I want it to work. Other than this minor problem I think this game serves its purpose and I would recommend it.
Good, But One Thing:
Thu Jan 02 2020 EJD3235Okay, so me and my little sister love checkers. This afternoon, me and my sister decided to play this game, Checkers. However, I noticed an unfortunate glitch. Err maybe it isn’t a glitch. But it still caused problems. Me and Ava played on the new Two Player feature and took turns passing my iPhone back and forth. In the near-end of the game, she accidentally clicked on the wrong spot on the board so I clicked the Undo button. Nothing changed. She was irritated because the only option I was provided with was to capture her piece and win. I don’t like the fact that it forces you to capture your opponent’s piece whenever you have the chance to, giving you no other option. Otherwise the game is okay.
Good interface.
Sat Mar 06 2021 I don't want any nicknameOverall, this a good app. I like the straight forward interface. The ads are not too bad and don't interfere with the game play, which very nice. The undo feature is handy. I would like it if the engine was a bit stronger and less predictable. Still, I think this app is well made and doesn't appear to have noticable bugs. Good job. If you ever get this working well with an engine closer to the strength of the Chinook engine, I would be interested to pay for that.
It’s okay..
Wed Dec 11 2019 yeeyeejuiceyeThis game is great, but the reason it doesn’t deserve 5 or 4 stars is because it’s impossible to win. I put easy and I can’t win, its clearly not a good easy mode. It’s not fun when you can’t win, other than that this game is great. It also doesn’t get 4 stars because it only lets me be at the bottom,I can’t be on the top or go first. These are problems for the one player, so don’t think this is for 2 player. If you only gonna get this to play with friends and rarely use 1 player, I recommend but if your like me and are only gonna use 1 player most of the time, I would get a different app. Also the undo button doesn’t function.
Great! But...
Thu Jun 27 2019 DJ GodzillaGreat! But.. The thing is that I really hate the fact that the game makes you jump when you can jump. But I don’t want to go that way some times because if I do that the robot has checkers near me that can take my checker and I don’t approve of that. So please I think this game is great and still 5 stars but please take away the part where it makes you jump when you have the “chance” .
Not good for learning
Wed Jun 09 2021 Good game 645726I got the app so I could get good and beat people.
I’m coming from chess apps, like lichess. In those, the puzzles are clearly there as training to get better. On here, it’s like they are challenges. I don’t see a button that gives you the answer when you can’t find it, and you have to unlock puzzles by beating previous ones. That makes it harder to use them as a learning resource. Also, I’m tired of doing the same endgames over and over at the end of the puzzles. It should end when it is clear that I figured out the puzzle, not when I waste time finishing the game up.
Also, the hint feature is a joke. I wanted to use it to help me learn and get ideas. This doesn’t work when the hint button clearly doesn’t give me the best move.
Overall, it just isn’t the learning tool I came for.
More puzzles please
Wed Mar 13 2019 MomsAgainstUFCLevel 3 is impossible, although 2 people here claim they got it. There was another level that started out in the negative and I only passed due to a glitch where a certain sequence caused black to give up a checker for no reason. I suspect the same for level 3, although I seemed to have tried every possible sequence. Very frustrating. Also the hard mode isn’t really hard, can beat it every time no matter the starting move.
This is a good app, but...
Sun Mar 04 2018 Artemis8t8I really like this app. It is a good way to play checkers when you are by yourself. What I don't like about the app, is when the computer doesn't want to move, it will move one piece back and forth until you make a move that it likes(aka when it can jump one of your pieces). So you can download this app whenever you feel like being frustrated, but it is not a good app for learning to play, or improving your skills(obviously a real person won't move one piece back and forth continuously).
Dumb reviews
Fri Jul 27 2018 äpprēvïęwêrSeeing a lot of 3 star reviews saying "game forces me to jump when I have it" this should not deter you from getting the app as this is the rules of the game. Just as other illegal moves are not allowed so is not taking a jump when you have it. Many reviewers simply don't know how to play checkers.
Update- They even added an option to take off force jump
