NOT WORKING!!!

I used to love this app but it’s not working at all!!!

Nothing good about it

It takes ages to find an opponent, and once you’re in game, it takes several seconds just for it to compare and complete the move you tell it to make. Slowest thing ever.

FAQ

What is Othello?

Can I play Othello offline?

How does multiplayer work in Othello?

The app features both online and offline multiplayer modes. You can play against opponents from all over the world via global online matchmaking, or challenge friends and family on the same device or online, regardless of their operating system.

Is Othello free to play?

The official Othello game is free to play and offers unlimited gameplay. However, it is an advertiser-funded app. If you prefer to play without ads, an auto-renewable subscription is available for purchase.
