New: optimized for iPhone Duo. • Open the phone and the board fills the inner display; close it and your game carries on, on the outer display, right where you were. • Stand it partly open like a book: the board stays on the flat half, the players and whose turn it is on the standing one. • Video Instructions gain an iPhone Duo chapter, played on a Duo. Also in this version: • Choose the board you play on: four new looks — Oak, Oak & Iron, Engraved Cherry and Green Leather — on every board size, in Settings, the new gear on the main menu, along with Sound and Language. • House Rules has a button that puts both rules back to the standard ones. • How to Play explains every tradition, and the Video Instructions have a new chapter on using the app, each caption held long enough to read. • Online: an agreed draw is counted once, even when it is accepted out of turn, and a result reaches your record only once; when a resignation in a turn-based match can't be sent, the results card says so. • On an iPhone Duo the results card and the Pass & Play hand-off sit on the board's half; opened, the results card sets the result beside its buttons. Its buttons are never cut in a long language, on Apple TV too. • Apple TV: Back during a game opens the Pause menu, and Play/Pause pressed just as a game ends no longer opens it over the result; the Pass & Play hand-off appears over the board; How to Play's long cards read a step at a time; the Transcript title wraps. • Apple TV and iPad: the board is larger, using space that was left empty. • Mac: the window opens showing the whole menu, in two columns; the menu bar no longer acts on a screen hidden behind a lesson or a dialog; a crash when a draw offer or a Nearby invitation was taken back is fixed; VoiceOver no longer stops on unnamed squares; the Transcript opens full size. • With many players nearby the Live Match list scrolls; invitations never squeeze the inviter's words; the names of the other traditions Quick Async Match offers are never broken mid-word; the hints name your device's own gesture. • Arabic, Hebrew and Urdu turn the screens right to left the moment you pick them, titles in Arabic and Indian scripts keep their letters joined, and text everywhere draws exactly as laid out. • Larger Text: the game screen, the Video Instructions, the widget and the Game Menu fit the largest sizes; How Ranks Work and Play Someone Nearby scroll.

Fixes: • Online: an agreed draw now shows as a draw on both devices — the player who didn't end the game could be shown a loss — and it reaches them sooner. • Online: a draw offer taken back with a move now says it was withdrawn. • Live Match: once an opponent is found, the screen says "Opponent found — connecting…". • Invite a Friend now lets you choose a live or a turn-based game. • Nearby: the invitation names the House Rules you'll play, and long device names wrap instead of being cut off. • House Rules and World of Checkers now say exactly what the rules do — a multi-jump you start is still played to the end, and Giveaway lets you switch flying kings too. • The forced-capture tip no longer points to House Rules in a game where they can't be changed. • How to Play's Controls card now matches your device. • Apple TV: House Rules fits on the screen. • iPhone: late in a game, the player cards no longer run off the edge in some languages. • A long saved-game name wraps instead of being cut off. • Mac: ⌘? now opens How to Play inside a game too, and the Help menu holds How to Play and the Video Instructions. Video Instructions: a short captioned lesson played on the real board — the basics, House Rules, the World of Checkers and the ways to play. Open it from the main menu, from any How to Play page, or on the Mac from the Help menu. Canadian Draughts is now "Canadian Draughts · Dam Haji": Malaysia and Singapore know the same wide board as Dam Haji. With Differentiate Without Color on, one side's pieces carry a mark in the game, so the two sides never rely on color alone. The results card's "Return to Main Menu" is now a proper button, and the app opens with a short film. More Games From Us opens our page on the App Store, and Rate Odin's Checkers is always there.

Fixes: • Online: when Game Center won't start a rematch, the results screen now says why. On a Family Sharing child account it explains what still works, and if the problem was only temporary, Rematch comes back so you can try again. • Online: after a turn-based game, a rematch offer now reaches you sooner. • Live Match: when parental controls block a live game, the app now says so plainly and points to the ways to play that still work. • The "Your move" notification is no longer always in English. • The turn indicator no longer shows two messages at once as the turn passes. • Faint helper text is brighter and easier to read. • Mac: the app menu now shows the game's name properly, in your language. • Apple TV: when Live Match asks for iCloud, the help now mentions that a newly switched profile may need the TV restarted once. Play Now, right on the Solo Voyage screen: choose your difficulty and start from there — no trip back to the main menu. More Games From Us: the main menu's door to our other games is now one clearly named button on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Fixes: • Online: two players matched for a turn-based game could be left waiting on each other. The second player now takes their seat and the game begins. • Menu text that wraps to a second line in some languages is no longer cut short. • Apple TV: the main menu and the in-game panel now fit the screen in every language. Invite, rate, share and more games — now wherever you start or finish a game: the main menu's footer, the results screen and the Online Raids hub each offer Invite a Friend, Rate Odin's Checkers, Share Odin's Checkers and More Games From Our Team. Rate stays until you've tapped it, then steps aside. More Games From Our Team: our other games are one tap away from the main menu and the results screen, with their names in your language. On Apple TV the results screen offers them too.

Rate and share: Rate Odin's Checkers and Share Odin's Checkers are now a tap away — on the win screen and in the menu — and you can invite a friend straight from the win screen. Online, live and nearby play run on a rebuilt, shared foundation. Fixes that came with it: • A game can no longer award XP twice. • A rematch offered in the first second after a game is no longer refused. • A dropped nearby connection no longer leaves a phantom invitation behind. • If your account can't send live invitations, the game tells you why instead of waiting on a spinner. Also in this version: • Coach: turning Coach on shows a one-time notice, and a hinted game leaves your personal bests untouched. • Game Center: when you're signed out, the sign-in card and the trophies button bring back Game Center's own sign-in. • The forced-capture highlight shows only the jump you must take. • A resumed game can be watched back as a replay. • Buttons and the turn line no longer clip in seven languages.

Game Center fix: leaderboards and achievements are now available to everyone — all 17 leaderboards and 28 achievements. Seven more languages — Catalan, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Slovak and Slovenian — bringing Odin's Checkers to 50. Online and nearby play are also more dependable: • If a move can't reach your opponent, the game retries — and tells you if it can't get through, so no move is lost silently. • Nearby resignations, draw offers and rematch requests retry the same way. • Matchmaking respects your chosen tradition instead of resuming an online game of a different one. • Reliability fixes for rematch invitations and match summaries.
