### 1/5 — Game

*2025-12-06, version 5.2*

Game was great, then update made it worse than horrible…

### 3/5 — Color Blind

*2025-01-25, version 5.0*

I’ve played this game for years but the new update just ruined it for me. I am color blind and with the update I can no longer distinguish between my pieces and the opponent’s.

### 1/5 — The ads are unbearable and interrupt game flow

*2024-12-20, version 4.0*

Literally remove the ads or quit making them play any time you rematch. That is excessive and annoying.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2024-02-14, version 4.0*

The app is okay, the computer is challenging. Only problem is the app sometimes crashes randomly and whenever you want to replay a game it plays a long add.

### 4/5 — Solid app. No premium option. Light adverts.

*2023-04-10, version 4.0*

As far as I can tell this is a solid app that works well. There is no option to remove ads which is a problem for me. The ads are short though. 

Pros: works well, solid app, ads are short and rather unobtrusive

Cons: ever present banner ad, no premium option to permanently remove ads

### 1/5 — Too Easy!!!!

*2023-03-18, version 4.0*

It’s too easy. Hard mode isn’t hard at all… please make six and nine men’s morris much more difficult!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2021-03-29, version 3.3*

Whenever I start a game the background is black and I can’t see the board whatsoever

### 3/5 — Can’t see board

*2020-05-08, version 3.3*

Due to the colours used I can’t see the board and some of the options.

### 1/5 — Google advertising covers the bottom of the board

*2019-12-23, version 3.1*

I love this game but... Google ad covers the bottom of the board which makes it impossible to play. Please fix this! 

Thanks!

### 4/5 — Good

*2016-07-15, version 2.0*

I like this game
