Pros and cons of Checkers app for iPhone and iPad

Checkers app good for

It is a very interesting App. Very intuitive and simple. I just miss an expert mode where the level of difficulty could be higher. With that mode you would receive all stars from me. Keep up the great job
This is a good little app. It looks nice and is challenging for beginners. Ive noticed that it performs well with large numbers of Checkers, but even at the hardest level and an advantage (say, 2 to 1 or 3 to 1) it will often allow a draw or even move to allow me to jump it when a safe option existed. Still, Im happy overall with the exception of the ads which, while relatively unobtrusive, annoy me--theyre understandable in free versions but not in paid apps. Suggestions for the future: 1) the option to play specific openings. 2) the ability to set up specific setups or Checkers puzzles to work on. If I had to pay for this upgrade Id gladly do so.
Unlike most free games, this one doesnt have adds and it supplys a lot for a free game! 10/10 ign m8
Its a great app, but like all apps it has advertising. But its worth it.
When you win against the computer this game makes hilarious remarks :) the only thing that could be better is if you were able to turn forced jumps off...but the highest difficulty can be rather challenging so too bad!
I am enjoying this game but I question why do the computer always takes the first move regardless of who won the last game

Some bad moments

The rules say you have to jump if a jump is available, but its a personal strategy ruined by that rule and Ive lost many games because of it. This game is terrible for that simple reason, any other Checkers game I have played does NOT make you jump.
The checker game was good until the last update. Now it freezes a lot, needing a reboot. Sometimes two men come out at once. Also, too many times now they keep asking you to rate the app. I hope they go back to the previous version as it was more stable. Im now looking for a new game.
this app was good before the update. now it has a lot of unnecessary bells n whistles.
The last update really messed this up. Game freezes and then shuts down. Drives me nuts!
This game is horrible since the last update. Screen freezes in the middle of a game, then either it shuts down or I have to shut it down and start over.
This used to be my favorite app, simple and fun. I played it all the time and would have given it 5 stars until the latest update ruined the whole thing. They had it perfect and should have left it alone. Now the Ads are bothersome, the AI has errors, I wish I could revert back to my old version as I really miss it, but since Apple doesnt allow that in their iOS on the device without restoring I suppose Ill have to delete it. It was fun while it lasted.
