Great game

I wish there was a way to remove the time limit and prevent it from automatically making a move for you if the time runs out

Annoying Override

I was enjoying this app until it would kick me out of my game against the computer and force me to play against a human opponent. Why???? I clearly have “CPU” marked as my opponent. Please fix this!! It is absolutely infuriating. It has happened as soon as right after my first move as well as at any point in the game with no way to exit or decline this forced match.
The only other thing that could be improved is that sometimes, even in intermediate mode, it is way too easy to win with the computer missing extremely obvious moves that even a beginner would catch. Fix these issues and I’ll change this review to 5 stars.

What a great new way to play an ancient game!

This is a really good version of the game, the “vs CPU” was a great opponent and really taught me the way to play the game. Recently however when I select the “vs CPU” After playing for a while my game is wiped and an online player joins with a new game. I do not want to play online so, until this is fixed, I will stop playing the game. Which is a real shame as this is a really good AI and makes the game challenges.

Update: since the patch fix this game works great. What nice improvement to the AI as well. Well Done, this is how you support your customers.

Developer Response ,
