Leave a Review Smart Othello
Good AI
A lot of other Othello / Reversi apps make spectacularly dumb moves that rob one of the pleasure of beating them, like making bad plays near the corners that they aren’t forced into. This one doesn’t, even at the easier levels. As a result it’s a lot more fun!rebdata
Correct my review titled “Junk”
As a novice I was unable to get the game going. Nevertheless, with some coaching we now really enjoy the game. It’s well worth the $2.99 price. I give this game five stars.Eichtal

Tap on the New Game icon, then tap on the center icon (between Computer and Game Center) to create an empty board that you can use for a 2-player game.Unresponsive
This game doesn’t require player to play. You can sit for hours with no action. No way to move on. Game remains active. Bad game. I want my money back.QRMiller
Good implementation
This is a good implementation of the game. Though the coaching sometimes assumes knowledge of the terminology when providing tips.
Overall, I recommend it.Bret Bretterson
Simple functional interface
I had forgotten how bad I was at this game! A well designed and easy to use interface. Only disappointment is that I can't use on my iPad which is stuck at iOS 9G4rrett413

Crashes - will not restart
I purchased this game because it was supposed to have a difficult AI to beat. I beat levels 1-3 first try, and tried level 5. Half way in the game and from that point on, every time I try to make a move, it crashes. Restart the game, it crashes again. Deleted, reloaded... and it crashes again.
This is on an iPhone 7+. Contacted the developer with iPhone build data, OS version, etc. no response after two weeks. A refund is in order.
I have only ever written three other reviews with this one being the first negative one. Sorry, but if you put a feedback/trouble shooting email address built in the app... answer it.Show lessWVMtnDude

Thanks for helping me track down that crash — fixed in version 1.1.2.Great way to improve your Othello game
I know that I'm getting better because I've started winning at the student (2nd level) game. I've also noticed that I've gotten better at the online version I play. Haven't tried any matches from the Game Center version on here ... but I will when I can regularly beat the 2nd level.
What I like best about this game is the undo so I can replay games. I wish there a way to start the auto play engine when I do this. Instead I need to ask the game to suggest each opponents move. It is interesting to replay a game until I finally beat the machine.
It would be great to have more functions to restart and play. The redo functionality is where I hope the programmers add features.
I believe there are five levels of play with this game so the ai has plenty of kick left.
To give you an idea of my skill level I regularly beat the computer practice player on my other game. This game gives me a way to improve my game against human players.Show lessBoaredDoom
Best Othello app for iPhone
This is the hardest Othello app I have found for iPhone, and I have played all of them, I think. It's the first one that I have not been able to beat so far on the hardest setting. There are several settings to choose from, so it is not difficult to find a challenging level to play at. I like it a lot. I think these developers really know the game. Well worth the modest cost. Let's all jump on this one and help them to keep developing it for the Othello community. Good work guys!Show lessziindo
