Solid platform to play. I'm a beginner, so I guess I don't know how challenging the computer is; and I don't speak any other languages, so I don't know how the p2p is either.Computer seems to "rage quit" sometimes when I'm able to start-I don't know what it's called in the game-but winning.Update: game used to ask me if I'd like to resume old game. Since the update it doesn't, & since the game "rage quit" on me it won't let me play against the computer anymore.

If you count end game or resign end game. It means the game really end, otherwise you can resume your game.

I’m a native English speaking person. I am also fluent with Dutch. I have some skill with French. I have no skill with Mandarin, nor Japanese/Kanji.My iPhone language settings do not include any that I don’t have some skill with. This app comes up displaying in Chinese or Kanji and I cannot find any way to switch it to English. Maybe I could use this if it started using the default language in my iOS settings. Until then — I give it a zero rating. Unusable. The support site comes up the same way. I can’t make any sense of the page to submit a support request.If you don’t read Kanji don’t bother with this app.2020-January-06
