### 2/5 — Could be better

*2024-05-12*

I used to like this Reversi.  The update shows ads every time I go to play and have to go to settings to do restore purchase.  Maybe my eye site is bad but the board is dark and hard to see where I move next.  It was frustrating so DELETED it.

**Developer response:** Hi Foxie Lee, Sorry to hear you were having issues with the ads. I have submitted an update that fixes this that should go live any day now. If you re-download the app in the future please feel free to contact the support email and we can look at making improvements to the darkness of the board for you.

Previous 2019 response:

Hi Foxie Lee, Thanks for your message. Sorry to hear about your issue, but I think this was a glitch with iOS 13, and iOS 13.1 should work fine, no update required! However I'm working on an update to upgrade the app for all the new iPhones and iPads which will be out soon!

### 5/5 — GREAT

*2021-01-30, version 3.2*

This is the BEST Reversi game you will find.  Works in landscape on the iPad and nice graphics.  The developer really cares and will help if any problems.  Worth the .99 to remove ads.  Thanks for update as all good.  I play this game several times a day as that is how GREAT it is.

### 1/5 — Don't love it

*2014-03-28*

The game actually cheats and makes illegal moves when you play against it.

**Developer response:** Hi ladyofthewood3! Unfortunately the game doesn't cheat, but the rules of Reversi are maybe not the most obvious. I've been planning on adding some instructions for a while so I hope this will help!
