Can’t play online

Can’t play online just loads and loads

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.

Ads have ruined Othello

Ads have ruined Othello

ADS

I have to sit though an ad that I can’t escape in order to play the game I want!!

Can’t close an ad

Had it for a long time, now every time I open it, the ad starts and there is no way of closing it even after minutes of waiting,
Ever since they started to add these, app was crashing constantly, now you can’t even play it since it’s not accessible because of the that one annoying ad. Uninstalling it.

Won’t play because of ads

Literally cannot play because the ads won’t clear

Far too many ads

I’d much rather a one-time cost to purchase than have to sit through the ads.

Basic

The game is enjoyable, but the app is loaded with ads that are difficult to close. The app also seems to crash a lot.

Garbage…

Can’t get through the advertising to the game… now the advertising is all that opens good job guys… getting rid of… good bye…

Hate Ads

Great game but the ads a painate

Good but ads are ridiculous

Played once match and was bombarded by three back to back ads with no option to even skip. No sir. No. That’s insanity. No free gameplay is worth that BS.

long ads killed the game

the long ads killed this app. i used to be on this all the time. i love the concept and playing with players all over the world. it was my go to game. now i open it. the long ads from the beginning gets so long i give up 90 percent of time waiting for it to finish to get to the game. such a waste…

Game for bug exploiters

I like this game but with one big caveat. There is an unresolved bug that allows opponents to time out when they’re on the brink of losing and after a while somehow it’s me that’s lost the game. The developers ask the players to send evidence by recording or something similar. Of course that’s not possible given it doesn’t happen often. This isn’t the first time someone’s complained about this exact issue. You need to sort this out!

App crashes constantly

The app crashes constantly - often times right after a win where the app shuts down. Half the time it doesn’t record the win, or it records a win as a loss. There should also be an audible countdown when your time is almost up. When you’re focused on the board, a silent clock is a real headache. I lost several games I would have otherwise won because the clock timed out while I was planning 2-3 moves ahead.

Malware?

Tried playing this today, it demanded an update. Installed the update and when I started it again it displayed fake warnings about “viruses found” with the usual “click here for details”. Of course I didn’t click there, I deleted the game from my phone.

Freezes phone

Fun game but it locks up the entire phone, can’t even shut phone down. All updates installed and have even deleted the app and downloaded it again. Too bad, fun game.

Ads

After two games I can’t even open the app without having to wait for an ad

Freezes nearly every game

Used to love playing this game on iPhone but now freezes and glitches so much it’s hardly worth playing. Such a shame
