Don’t
Don’t get this app, I’m telling you don’t! It lies about how it is to! It is horrible no matter what I try. It’s a shame to think about getting an app like this! Total waste of money and time!!!😡
Robot won’t let you win
The robot will continue to do the same moves over and over making you sacrifice your pieces. Or else you’re stuck in a loop.

I forces you to make moves that makes you lose pieces when there are other moves you can make
Doesn’t teach you anything
Doesn’t try to teach you. It just tries to beat you in every game and it’s lame. One star review from me.👎 Im downloading another app.
Very extremely horrifyingly bad
Don’t buy I bought this game for my daughter and she’s been complaining that it’s making her forcing her to lose it won’t let her move her own pieces or she would like it. She knows how to play checkers properly. It just won’t let her move where she wants to move It wants the robot to move and win and plus I’m the daughter doing the review it’s so bad please don’t buy at all at least just for me😁 oh and that smily face emoji it’s just because I really don’t want you buy it. I mean you can if you want to, but I consider you don’t.
Boo boo boo
Cheating so so cheating when you play one player won’t let you move!!! When it’s your turn

Adedayo

Do not recommend
Can’t recommend…game isn’t even sophisticated enough (I.e. smart enough) to recognize a Stalemate, nor does is understand the rules of play. It’s about as interesting as playing on a 30-year old Atari.
Almost 5 stars

STOP TRYING MAKE ME DO THE COMPUTER MOVE
when i play this game it always makes me do a move i don’t want to do but i have no choice and that’s super dumb because all i get is pieces of mine taken away bc of the move its making me do this game needs to fix this asap i delete this game after all of this
Let me move how I wanna
This game takes away your free will ( in 1 player mode). Say you want to make a move that doesn’t make sense to the system but still abides by the rule, this game will take away your choice and force you to make the move that makes the most sense to the system; which ultimately results in you losing a checker to the game
needs option to notate positions as 1 to 32
In checker books from as early as mid 1700's, the checker board is ALWAYS notated with numbers 1 to 12 for black and 21 to 32 for white, with the ENTIRE board numbered 1 to 32. The developers did not know this, and so they only offer checker boards that use the chess notation system of A1, B1, ,,, G1, etc etc. This serious flaw that could EASILY be corrected.
Another error is that it is always the case, going as far back to the mid 1700s, that Black goes first. The developers because they don't know any better have set their app so that instead white always goes first.
Developers, are you listening?

Bad
It will not let me go where I want to go only sometimes I wanna play with my mom on this game. It didn’t let me go what I want to go or her. this is a of a angry person that wants to have a fair game with the people she playing with.
Single player - hard
Was denied a double jump.
Forced jumps
Game forces you to take a jump when your strategy is best served by not taking the jump.
To hard to win even on easy
To hard to win even on Easy
Trash AI
The hardest difficulty just mives back and forth endlessly refusing to advance the game
This game is terrible and rigged for the computer
RIGGED
Could be better
Essay that I already know that already about the rules
Worst game ever in the history of bad games
I had this game 5 weeks and whoever made this is the dumbest person ever I played the easiest level and it is rigged to where the opponent always wins
Worthless
Worthless. Just like your chess game. Can’t win on easy.
Meh
It’s decent if you’re old or don’t have friends 😂
Is there really an “easy” level?
Not useful at all for beginner players. Nice design, though.
Good but…
It’s ok. Good for when your offline and bored. But after a while it got so boring and sure it has good graphics but it like it pauses in between plays to point out EXACTLY where your opponent jumped. WHICH IS UNESSECERY. And annoying. It got so boring after awhile though. I stopped playing it and ended up deleting it.
