### 1/5 — Game freezes

*2026-06-27, version 3.25*

I would like it, but when I purchased no ads - the game freezes.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-10-25, version 3.25*

Good for passing the time

### 1/5 — Only ads

*2025-09-28, version 3.25*

Delete this ap

### 1/5 — Ad removal doesn’t work

*2025-09-21, version 3.25*

I paid to remove the ads! I contacted customer support. No reply. Still ads every time I open the app! Horrible customer service!

### 1/5 — Pésimo

*2024-12-24, version 3.25*

Pagué para remover la publicidad y sigue apareciendo. Es una estafa!!!

### 5/5 — Pas de pub

*2024-11-01, version 3.25*

C’est génial !!!

### 1/5 — Online doesn’t work

*2024-10-23, version 3.25*

The online, multiplayer feature does not function.

### 3/5 — Too hard

*2024-06-26, version 3.25*

I guess I’m just not very good, but I’ve never won a game with this app.  Maybe it should have different level settings.  Deleting.  Life is hard enough without losing Checkers games.

### 4/5 — Simple to play

*2024-03-25, version 3.25*

Good game,  in network play mode it would be great if there was a notification to say it’s your turn.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-11-05, version 3.25*

This is the greatest game that I have ever played. The “undo” button makes the gameplay easier, along with a finetuned difficulty that is very good. Also, the computer is very good for players that are improving their checkers skills like me. I would truly rate this app 5 stars. It is ideal wherever I go so that I can relax my mind.

😊
