### 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.

### 4/5 — Fix

*2015-02-17, version 1.25*

Very fun but crashes right when you begin a match. Unplayable atm. Please fix.

### 3/5 — Crashes on original iPad mini

*2014-12-16, version 1.25*

I wanted to play reversi with my daughter, this software had good reviews. Only problem, it crashes in two player mode immediately. Had to uninstall it.

### 4/5 — Please Fix

*2014-10-22, version 1.25*

This game is awesome but it seems since the iOS 8 update it is crashing constantly. I keep sending the crash report but so far no fix yet. Five star game but minus a star until they get it fixed.

### 4/5 — The computer does NOT cheat

*2014-09-10, version 1.25*

The game is fine and it doesn’t cheat like others are claiming. It only takes more than one move when you have no legal moves. You can do the same if you outmaneuver the computer. A popup saying 'you have no legal moves, must pass to computer' would fix the confusion. My only complaint is it’s not that hard to beat at the hardest difficulty.

### 5/5 — The Bomb!

*2014-08-19, version 1.25*

Great app!

### 5/5 — I love it

*2014-05-12, version 1.25*

The app is great! Reversi is the same as Othello and itis a great game.

### 4/5 — Nice!

*2014-03-02, version 1.25*

A much better way to pass time than Angry Birds. Lol

### 3/5 — Cool game until it cheated more than once.

*2014-02-17, version 1.25*

Fun game once you get the hang of it... but in the last four games I have played, the computer keeps taking three turns in a row towards the end of the game, which turns half your pieces over and makes you lose, even if you were way ahead. I even tried to undo my last moves a few times and it did it over and over. Oh well, it was a fun 10 minutes.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2015-07-20, version 1.25*

Crashes every every single time I try and start a game. Removing app.

### 1/5 — Crash crash crash

*2015-02-28, version 1.25*

Don't waste your money.  Spent $1.99 and it crashes every time I try to play.  Pure trash.  A dialog comes up to report the problem.  I won't hold my breath on a solution.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2014-12-31, version 1.25*

Every time I try and open it it crashes then gives me a popup saying "reversi quit unexpectedly would you like to send us an anonymous report so we can fix the problem" I click yes but 2 months later still doing the same thing. Don't get it!

### 1/5 — Crashes before i can start

*2014-12-31, version 1.25*

On ipad 2 running latest ios, try to start a 2 player game, just crashes immediately.

### 1/5 — Collapse

*2014-12-12, version 1.25*

Collapse all the time !!

### 1/5 — Wouldn't even open

*2014-12-02, version 1.25*

Was excited because I love this game, but very disappointed when it wouldn't even let me pass the point of entering my name.

### 1/5 — Can't even get the app to run!

*2014-11-30, version 1.25*

Every time I try to start the app, it unexpectedly quits!

### 1/5 — The computer cheats

*2014-03-02, version 1.25*

As others have stated, the computer often takes two or three moves in a row. So, this app is headed for deletion. Don't get me wrong, I love this game, but I prefer to play versions that don't cheat.

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 — Fun Othelo/Reversi game

*2014-12-06, version 1.25*
