### 5/5 — Checkers at it's best

*2015-10-03, version 2.55*

It's way cool that you can adjust the level to where you can still win at about half the time. Not so easy it's boring yet not so hard you can never win.

### 4/5 — Ok, with one glaring error

*2014-03-06, version 2.40*

I just got this app today, and so far it seems pretty good. There is one thing about it that grates on me however. They have a red starting each match. According to the rules of Checkers, black starts each match. This might not sound like much, but it makes one wonder how good the app really is if they can't even get the rules correct.

I'm still going to give it four stars because it's visually appealing, the gameplay seems to be fluid, and the price is right. But I'm holding my final decision until I can play it further to see how good the AI is.

### 5/5 — Very Pleased

*2013-11-08, version 2.40*

Very pleased with this program - equally good for single player or two player games. No complaints at all.

### 5/5 — Great Fun!!!

*2013-09-21, version 2.40*

Downloaded app to play with my kids... Lots of fun and no mess to cleanup!

### 5/5 — Played Checkers with my 90 year-old Mom

*2013-09-02, version 2.40*

Excellent remote play capability. I played checkers with my mother who is 90 (iPad to iPad). Great fun!

### 5/5 — Checkers premium HD

*2013-08-24, version 2.40*

Terrific app. I spend a lot of truly enjoyable time on it...one of my favorites..

### 3/5 — Fun Game..... BUT!

*2013-08-22, version 2.40*

I like playing this game!  The only thing I notice is when you're playing against the computer, the game doesn't deviate from it's previous moves. So it makes the game predictable, therefore making it easy to beat the game

### 4/5 — Checkers HD

*2013-08-03, version 2.40*

Good product. I would give 5 stars except that I find it annoying that the screen is fixed and will not rotate to horizontal if I turn my iPad that way. Otherwise, it's a good app.

### 5/5 — Checkers Premium HD

*2013-07-23, version 2.40*

I have found Checkers Premium HD to be an excellent checkers game.

### 5/5 — Review

*2013-02-18, version 1.20*

this is an amazing game! However it needs the ability to talk to your opponent using a text box. To say good game and such.
