Difficulty levels need to be reviewed as well. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t have option to ignore forced jumps *2024-11-28* Game enforces the must jump rule. There is no option to ignore this rule. ### 2/5 — Why forced jumps? *2024-05-19* The forced jump rule is silly. It often puts you in a place where you are then set up to be jumped and/or are at a disadvantage as far as determining or planning your next move. ### 4/5 — Fun! *2024-04-29* Love the fact that I can play hours and hours alone, and catch a quick game of Checkers at a pit stop. Lacks difficulty. I quickly dominated the CPU and kept all my 12 pieces. This app applies all the checker rules, including forced jumping. No one is online to play, really. Tried many times at different times of the day. ### 2/5 — Crashed during my first game *2023-07-10* App has crashed during my first game. Just a black screen is visible. ### 2/5 — Not for me *2023-06-04* Just tried to play., during my second move. It was not allowing me to move as I needed to move ### 1/5 — Battery hog *2023-05-06, version 1.6.4* Skip this one, I have a 13 Pro and it used 30% battery in about 10 mins of play ### 1/5 — The game wouldn’t let me go on player 2s second turn *2023-05-06* It wouldn’t let me go on my second turn being player 2 which meant the game was stuck and I wouldn’t recommend getting the game at all. ### 4/5 — It’s good but needs improvement *2023-01-27* It’s a good game there isn’t much bad about it. But there are some issues. They almost make you jump the person/computer or they make them jump you. It’s nice because you can play by yourself or with someone. Because I don’t like playing with people all the time so yeah I’m going to give this a 4 star ### 4/5 — Checkers great!!! *2022-01-19, version 1.3* Please add, Russian rules, make horizontal option for use on iPad, having on Apple TV, this app, would be a good idea too! :) ### 3/5 — Checkers *2022-01-15* It’s a pretty good game but I hate the glitch we’re I can’t move any of the checkers ### 3/5 — Lacking difficulty *2021-11-04* When I downloaded this game, I expected a strong robotic opponent that I could learn from to improve my play. Instead, even the most difficult option was a very weak opponent that a seven year old with a few hours of playing could beat. Please attempt to improve the algorithm and increase the difficulty. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poorly coded *2025-07-30, version 1.6.7* This game forces you to take a move no matter what so your no even really thinking for yourself dumb idea and dumb game ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-05-27* Trying to play my daughter who sitting right next to me and the thing just don’t work when your playing your friends. SMH. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-05-26, version 1.6.7* Ads after every game. Turn data off b ### 1/5 — Bad online multiplayer *2025-02-06* Do not get this app! Too many online multiplayer glitches, like, it says it is my turn outside the game, and it should be, but I enter the game and it’s not. Do not get it! YOU WILL HATE IT! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-11-07, version 1.6.7* Won’t let you choose your own moves. Forces you to jump you opponent ### 1/5 — Absolutely hate this game!! *2024-08-25* Does not let u make your own moves. Does not let u win at all. U have to go where it wants u to move ! Definitely cheating ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work *2023-12-19* My husband and I have been playing the multiplayer version and we’re constantly having to forfeit games b/c the app gets stuck and won’t let either of us move. Poorly designed app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t anyone support landscape mode? *2023-08-26* This app doesn’t work in landscape mode on my iPad Pro w keyboard. A friend who is an iOS developer tells me it’s not at all hard to do … so don’t ask me to hold my iPad just to play checkers. If this app supported landscape, it *might* be worth the $9.99 to pay for no-ad version, but not as it stands now! ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2023-07-22, version 1.6.4* After I jumped an opponent, it skipped the opponents turn and glitched. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-05-28, version 1.6.4* No option to turn off force jump smh ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Checkers *2025-02-23, version 1.6.7* Excellent game for skill ### 5/5 — CHECKERS *2024-06-07, version 1.6.7* It is very awesome and has very good ai design ### 5/5 — My report *2024-05-19* It could be a bit easier ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-05-17* Makes you think about your every move there’s multiplayer ### 5/5 — Checkers *2024-01-04, version 1.6.7* It’s cool and entertaining ### 5/5 — Good job👍 *2023-05-26* I like it. ### 5/5 — Olivia the Queen *2021-10-31, version 1.2.1* I kill this game!! ### 5/5 — I love yes so much *2020-12-31* 😂😻 thank you I love it so much we are playing right now!,, ### 5/5 — King me! *2020-12-02* I like playing this chess because of the clean design. I don't see the jump problem, it must have been fixed.🎀👑 ### 4/5 — It’s cool but *2024-10-18* Why do they force you to move in a certain direction and the cpu can jump you…FIX IT --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
