Lots 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.

No Kings in USA
I’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

Other 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...

I 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.John-Paul Martin
