Beautiful!
A beautiful implementation. Clean interface, restrained sounds, nice animation. Just the right balance for this type of game.
Fun game, but...
...could you add a way to turn off the chip-turning animations? It would make gameplay go much faster.
Thanks and keep up the good work!

Cooool
What's to say! It's simply brilliant
Superb implementation. Dammit!
I used to play the board game version of this with my brother decades ago and we loved. I loved it because I often won too :-) This is a beautifully clean and simple implementation which has been recently enhanced by extra designs for board and pieces.
I only have one problem with it - I'm on difficulty level 2 of 5 and at the end of the last game it casually asked me "Drawn 0. Won 0. Lost 13. Do you want to play another game?" My ego is bruised, but I keep going back 'cos I'm convinced that next time I'll beat it ...

great
This is the only game I've been playing more than once or twice. It's simple but freaking difficult to win. My only suggestion would be to make a button to request the hints, versus having them show up automatically after 4 seconds. Most of the time I like to figure out what I would do, then see if what the computer suggests. 4 seconds usually isn't long enough for that.

Free is not always best
For 2 bucks you get someone who will continue to make good games. This game is much better than the others. Enjoy.
Better than Morocco
Morocco is great for free, but for a couple of bucks you can play this and be able to watch the gameplay happen . In Morocco moves happen instantaneously and thus I never know what happened. In Reversi, you can take back moves and it displays what the last move was. This helps a lot if you want to work on improving your game. If your a fan of the game, spend a couple dollars.

The most challenging of the three
As the title suggests, "Reversi" has the most challenging AI of the 3 Reversi/Othello games I've tried so far. Morocco was only able to tie me once on hard (about which I'll not avoid whining about the fact that I was playing half-a**ed due to the lack of challenge) and Othello was a total breeze. Reversi, on the other hand, whoops me completely every time on master difficulty.
As other reviewers have mentioned, other features include saving the game on exit, an available moves display, hints (haven't tried, but the AI is obviously good), a scoreboard to keep track of your record, and some very basic instructions. The undo button is also nice in case you accidentally hit the wrong square. The graphics are basic with animation for flipping pieces and sound effects for moves and flips. In all honesty though, I'm not sure a simple game like Reversi really needs much in the way of presentation. I personally would prefer not having to wait for the pieces flip sometimes. One thing that all of these games lack is the ability to play against another person over the network. I, for one, really hope that this feature is eventually added.
So if you're looking for more of a challenge than the free apps offer, pony up the whopping $2 (and save a penny for a Tootsie Roll) and I don't think you'll be disappointed. And for those who complain about all of these games being impossible, just learn the rules and practice a little, maybe even look up some strategies (there are a few basic ones that I'm sure will get you past the easy difficulties) and you’ll enjoy this great game.

Best othello with 2 player action
The other free alternatives might have slight better graphics. But this game is true to the original game. Having a 2 player action is just invaluable so much fun to play with friends anywhere. I love it.
The best one
I'm pretty good at othello game and other two free ones are east to beat which make them not worth keeping.
This paid one is very competitive. At master level, I won one time out of 5 matches so far.
If you only want an othello game for anoccasional entertainmant, get the free ones.
This paid one has better graphic movement, sound, and usuful options that make 2 bucks worth paying.
No bugs for me so far.
