I wish that the computer would let me win because it’s frustrating when I always lose. I play this game all the time at school, but we put two Mancala boards together and make it megasized. Then it’s big Mancala and it’s really fun. I wish that the pieces were always shells. I wish they were different things every time you play. I also wish we could get like coins if we beat the robot and then we could trade them in. I would like to see more game progressions. overall, it’s a pretty fun game.🤗🤪 ### 4/5 — Leider zu einfach *2023-01-07* Selbst in der schwersten Stufe gewinne immer ich. ### 2/5 — Stupid *2022-09-02, version 1.2.0* No two player mode, poorly drawn stones. ### 2/5 — Meine Meinung *2022-01-15* Es macht sehr aggressiv weil der Roboter zu gut ist ! (Liegt eventuell an mir) ### 4/5 — Nicht für 2 Spieler *2021-09-04* Man kann nur gegen den Roboter spielen, leider nicht für 2 Spieler. Ansonsten ein gutes Spiel🙂 ### 4/5 — leider nicht für zwei Spieler sondern *2021-09-01* Ich und der Roboter….. Ansonsten ganz lustig und spannend ### 5/5 — Nette challenge *2021-07-17* Obwohl es wahrscheinlich gut geplant immer zu besiegen wäre, nett und kurzweilig. ### 4/5 — Great app *2021-06-12* Only a few short ads, a lot less than most. Great game with one player options. ### 5/5 — If you’re looking for a sign, This Is It - 10/10 *2021-02-25* MINIMAL ADs compared to a lot of free games on here - only one between each game. Cute theme options!! Simple - and the design provokes a nostalgia of a childhood spent playing games on a computer in the late 90s - early 2000s. . Anyw a y s ummmmm Thank you to whoever made this and keeps it up or whatever PLEASE CHANGE NOTHING you have simply MASTERED the design mobile Mancala in my opinion - thank you (But maybe an online multi player option?? It’s be nice) ### 5/5 — really easy to understand *2020-08-19* the rules are clear, and the animations show whats happening, as well as whose turn it is. The graphics are nice and it doesn't have ads that get in the way or any recharge on lives. the only thing i'd like added is a two player option, but i definitely recommend this app :v) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Viel zu viel Werbung *2025-08-02* Das Spiel an sich ist sehr gut, aber die viele Werbung, machen es unspielbar, denn gestohlene Zeit ist leider auch Geld. ### 1/5 — Irritated *2025-06-15, version 1.2.0* The app keeps suddenly going off. Suddenly all I see is the “main screen” ### 1/5 — Nice try but… *2024-05-31* You can never see who wins because this otherwise great game always goes directly to an ad as soon as the game is over. I’m not waiting around for the ads. ### 1/5 — To easy *2023-06-21, version 1.2.0* Level hard is just as easy as level easy ### 1/5 — Troppa pubblicità -pessimo! *2023-02-21, version 1.2.0* Sembra gratuito e poi è pieno di pubblicità. Una stella perchè non posso dare zero. Possibile che Apple non controlli. Subito camcellato! ### 1/5 — Boring *2022-06-30, version 1.2.0* No online play. Hard level consists of 1or2 patterns to win every time.. ### 1/5 — Needs more options *2022-04-18* I love Mancala and the app is great and all but it needs more options because there are so many different ways to play me my grandma and I all play differently and It would be good to be able to practice all the different ways I ONLY PLAY THIS GAME BECAUSE I LIKE MANCALA NOT BECAUSE THIS IS A GOOD APP!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Constantly pop ups asking for a review… *2022-03-06* … violating App Store policies. I couldn’t find another way to report this issue. So here’s your one star review. ### 1/5 — Kein spiel für 2 *2021-06-03* Wollte das spiel mit meinem kind spielen. Spiel für 2 ist gelogen ! Geht nur geben bot :( Danke das mein kind nun traurig ist ### 1/5 — Startet nicht auf dem iPhone. Schade *2021-01-15* Startet nicht auf dem iPhone. Schade ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mancala *2025-10-09, version 1.2.0* La mejor es un juego de estrategia maravilloso. Y nada sencillo pero poco a poquito voy aprendiendo ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-09-17* Despite some comments, I have experienced a win some - lose some game play so far; had to move up to the hard level. So if you’re new start out at easy and work your way up. I’ve enjoyed this app more than other Mancala apps that I previously tried. ### 5/5 — Cool *2024-10-01* Spiele das Spiel schon gern offline. Jetzt auch auf dem Handy 🤩 ### 5/5 — It’s helps me with my migraines and head trauma seizures. *2024-06-11* Thank you. For allowing me to protect myself. ### 5/5 — Sympa *2023-11-11* Vraiment sympa! Je fais des progrès ! ### 5/5 — I take it back *2023-04-29* Hard mode was actually hard, it’s just I had a winning streak ### 5/5 — Totally fun *2023-03-20* My daughter introduced me to this game, and i’ve enjoyed it immensely. ### 5/5 — Enticing *2022-12-16* Fun game, hard to stop playing ### 5/5 — great instructions *2022-10-24* the instructions are clear and precise, if users can’t find them they need to look for them, they are easy to find, great graphics and easy to follow ### 5/5 — Easy 2 LEARN *2022-09-28* Macht zwischen durch echt Spaß🥳 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
