### 3/5 — Очень странно

*2026-08-20*

Такое ощущение, что положительные отзывы просто купленные. Я скачал вашу игру,чтобы против людей поиграть в Шашки. Сколько бы раз я не пытался, не находит игру. Тогда кто топы держит?не могу понять. Наверное боты 🫣

### 1/5 — Сделайте уже

*2026-08-15, version 2.7.24*

Годами никто не исправляет того что стоит смахнуть экран сверху приложение зависает и игре конец и сделать ничего не можешь ноль реакции

### 2/5 — Слетел профиль

*2026-08-14*

Почему обнулился профиль?

### 1/5 — Será só você.

*2026-03-21, version 2.7.24*

Não tem jogadores jogando. Esse jogo foi abandonado porque é tão cheio de bugs que dá pra roubar nem jogo o temp todo. Então? Vai perder tempo da sua vida esperando aparecer um jogador?

### 3/5 — Профиль

*2026-02-15*

В профиле игрока не меняет фото

**Developer response:** Убедитесь, что у приложения есть все необходимые разрешения. Также, не забудьте нажать ОК, когда установили новое фото профиля. Если проблема не решилась, то напишите нам в поддержку - support@elvista.net. Укажите ваш игровой ID (8 цифр в верхнем углу главного экрана меню).

### 1/5 — Недобросовестные игроки

*2026-01-15*

Приложение очень хорошое, даже рекламу готов был терпеть. Но есть большой минус!  разработчики почему не учли этот момент?? 

Игроки у которых хороший рейтинг, в конце игры не принимают ничью, чтоб не портить статистику. Когда до ничьи остается пару ходов, он передвигает другую шашку, тем самым обнуляет таймер ничьи. Тянет время чтоб ты вышел из игры. Очень много такие встречаются.   Почему вы не дорабатываете этот момент ? 

Чисто из-за этого удаляю игру и ставлю 1.

**Developer response:** Тимур, подумаем на тем, чтобы в таких ситуациях, как вариант, принудительно засчитывалась ничья. Однако, тогда рейтинг будут терять те, у кого он выше, что может быть неправильно в некоторых случаях. В общем, подумаем над этим, спасибо за отзыв.

### 1/5 — U

*2026-01-10, version 2.7.24*

Dont work online

### 5/5 — Сделайте анализ игры и возможность пожаловаться на игрока за не честную игру.

*2025-12-03*

Сделайте анализ партии чтобы видеть где ты ошибся, а также сделайте систему жалоб, а что половина игроков у который процент побед >70% играют на уровне гроссмейстеров, хотя у них дебюты одинаковые, также анализируют на 100+ ходов, в конце ты понимаешь что партию он выстроил идеально. Хочу чтобы игра развивалась и была одной из лучших игр про Шашков, а не очередная онлайн стратегия где игроки будут использовать программы для победы

### 1/5 — Da evitare

*2025-11-06, version 2.7.24*

Acquistata versione a pagamento dove doveva sbloccare tutto e invece la dama italiana online non c è !!!

### 1/5 — Обнулили

*2025-10-14*

Как то странно обнулился рейтинг. 
Обидно. 
И играть теперь не с  кем, тк предлагает уровень 1 и пропал мой вип аккаунт. Видимо это конец дружбы с данным приложением (

**Developer response:** Борнео 9, напишите нам в поддержку на адрес support@elvista.net ваш текущий игровой ID (он находится в верхнем углу главного меню, 8 цифр), а также какой был игровой ник, примерное количество монет и что было на аватарке.
