Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We mean we love normal chess and we were a bit amazed by the fact that you can change the difficulty of the bot (we dont know why). Works as it should, havent stumbled into any bugs 5/5.
It is an amazing app and also challenging which is good for it is a checkers app.
Love! Straight dope! It works flawlessly on the Apple Watch.
Even on a small screen this game works really well. When we have a few minutes to spare we almost always pull out this game. If only there was a chess game made just like this for the watch.
This game is perfect.. It doesnt have many ads , and you can get through a whole game without being interrupted. Its a little old fashioned style but im not mad.
The computer wins almost every time if you dont have tricks but overall its a good game.
This app is pretty awesome! We were looking for a good free watch app and found this. Some people are saying the computer cheats and jumps twice, but thats actually just a rule in checkers where you can double jump your opponent, its not cheating. The reason we gave four stars instead of five is because we wish there was a way to make the game have different modes of difficulty and we also would love a zoom option since we all know the watch screen is very small. Overall great app.
The computer often doesnt go on its turn or will move twice in one turn (not referring to collecting two pieces).
It is good but the computer wins almost every time even if you put it to zero hard.
WARNING!!! The game actually cheats! When the games takes turn it will move once then it will go again so it can jump you. It took several games before we caught the cheat. So sad really. It shows the mentality level of the deleloper.
For the Apple Watch its a little to small.
The app is fine but it doesnt have the different rule sets because some people do optional jumps but most people who play it more seriously do mandatory jumps and this doesnt do that.
This app is not that good bc the computer is cherter and we were winning and it end the game.
Computer cheats, does diagonal double jumps that you can't do. When you have multiple wins it offers a draw and does not let you win. Only good for 2 players.
Great classic, good graphics. Only complaint is that on the watch, it doesn't always register which piece we tap, and it's frequent enough to be annoying. No zoom function for the game which would help, and no way to adjust sensitivity of the tap. (On the watch sport- not sure if a higher end watch would be different.).
