Decent reversi

I have yet to see if the multiplayer is good. It’s a decent reversi game. Not sure if the computer opponent levels up well or not. I just started playing this version.

AI too good

This game is trash the novice level could beat a master. Don’t buy this game.

Best reversi app

I’ve downloaded many many apps to fuel my need for this silly game and this is the best one! It gives me tips and an undo button so I can learn from my mistakes! The bots are actually challenging! In other apps there aren’t many difficulty levels (and you can’t pick your colour in some other apps) but this one has it all!!

Nice snappy computer play

Would pay for online play with an app that doesn’t crash, unfortunately the online match does not seem to work on this one.
