Good game, but has some bugs

There are surprisingly few multiplayer othello apps that don’t require you to play on a timer, so this is the only option if you want to play leisurely. There are a few bugs:

1. Once you win, you’re unable to send your final move to the opponent. So it says you win on your board, but because you can’t send your move, once you close out of the game and re-enter, your last move is reset.

2. Sometimes you do not get the notification that your opponent made their turn.

3. Sometimes it will switch the color you are playing so now both players are the same color. And once you move, you both get a notification saying you’ve won the game even if there are moves remaining.

Looks good but...

I really like the presentation, but unplayable because moves are not being communicated
