### 2/5 — Fun but computer cheats

*2026-01-16, version 1.35*

Would be a solid app if the computer didn’t cheat. What’s up with 2 or 3 consecutive moves? That’s not in the rules. Deleted.

### 4/5 — Computer always wins except when it lets you win

*2023-12-26, version 1.35*

When I play on easy mode the computer loses every time so I increase the computers playing ability to medium. At medium it plays like a retard but only half the time…it magically grows a giant brain and slaughters me half the time. Increase it more and it bounces between absolute retard moves ( letting the poor human win) then back to like I’m playing against Dr. Spock. Not much fun when I realize I am playing a superior being who just feels sorry for me more or less depending where i set it’s ability at. Is this just how it has to work. I’d enjoy playing much more if I could match my opponents ability close to where I am at. On hard setting I know after losing three or four games the computer moves will become ridiculously stupid and I won’t be able to lose even if I try to.

### 5/5 — 🙏🏻

*2021-01-19, version 1.35*

This game makes me remember some old memories when I was younger !!!

### 1/5 — Let beginners win occasionally

*2021-01-18, version 1.35*

You always lose the game when you play. When you are learning how to play a new game you should at least be able to win once or twice. Not worth playing if I can’t win occasionally.

### 1/5 — The Cats Meow Mix

*2020-12-18, version 1.35*

ABSOLUTELY FIXED!!! I’m deleting it immediately. You’d be LUCKY to get a tie. If I could give it zero stars I would.

### 5/5 — Always challenging

*2017-03-17, version 1.30*

Great game

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-09-18, version 1.30*

First time I play this game. It's fun and addictive. 
Thanks.

### 5/5 — Bleatz

*2016-09-04, version 1.30*

I loved Othello which was a board game, but it became tedious because you had to hand flip for each play. This does that for you. 
     Reversi as an electronic game is fabulous!  It takes a lot of thought/logic.  It is not easy, however, it is so much fun!

### 5/5 — Can't stop playing!!!

*2016-04-28, version 1.30*

I just can't stop playing, home or on the go!  This is one of the best board games to play and I'm so glad this childhood games are with me at all times!!

### 5/5 — Amazing. So much better than the other apps.

*2016-02-14, version 1.30*

Awesome
