From the developers who brought you Mr Word, Mr Checkers is a brilliant implementation of the classic board game. Taking away all the unnecessary stuff, Mr Checkers takes you straight into the game you love. There are no menus, not even a start button, you're just straight in. Click the small "i" button to access options, which are 1 or 2 player, and Easy, Medium or Hard (1 player only). You can switch between 1 and 2 player mode at any time and even change difficulty level in the middle of a game (great if you are struggling to beat Mr Checkers). This is standard English Draughts (also known as American Checkers), on an 8x8 board. No Huffing. If you can take a piece, you have to (you won't be allowed to move another piece in this instance). A draw will be automatically declared if the same board position is repeated 3 times. Mr Checkers now offers Premium Subscription. Once subscribed, all advertising is removed from the app, allowing you to enjoy the classic word game with zero distractions. Mr Checkers Premium Subscription is an auto-renewing subscription, at a cost of $0.49 with a duration of 1 year (prices vary in other regions). Please click "remove ads" to purchase a subscription. Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions may be managed, and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to Account Settings on your device after purchase. Please visit https://www.gileschanot.com/privacy-policy for our privacy policy. Please see the terms of service at https://www.gileschanot.com/terms. Playing against Mr Checkers in 1 player mode, Easy level is perfect for beginners. Medium provides a challenge for most normal players, and Hard will defeat all but the best players. Mr Checkers is beautifully designed and very minimalist, in keeping with the Mr Word philosophy. Enjoy!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Mr Checkers at none against Checkers Mobile's shown. Mr Checkers also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). Checkers Mobile's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (135 vs 31). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Checkers Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 135 and 31 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Checkers Mobile's written reviews are positive against 78% of Mr Checkers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Checkers Mobile ships an update every 9 months, Mr Checkers every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
