One player has dark pieces, and one player has light pieces. They take turns moving their pieces. Players move their pieces diagonally from one square to another square. When a player jumps over their opponent's (the other player's) piece, he takes that piece from the board. By default a potential piece will have to be taken but you can set custom rules and disable this rule. The player's goal is to take all the pieces of its opponent. With this version of Checkers (also known as Draughts) , you can play with a friend who sits next to you or play against your phone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Checkers ‣ at 4.4 against Checkers `'s 3.4. Checkers ‣ also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 79). Checkers `'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Checkers ‣ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Checkers ` asks for nothing beyond the download.
Checkers ‣ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checkers ‣ has 3.5K ratings behind it against 79, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Checkers ‣'s written reviews are positive against 62% of Checkers `'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Checkers ‣ ships an update every 11 months, Checkers ` every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
