Community Insight:
We LOVE this game!!!!! Why doesnt the developer make it buyable?? PLEASE DO.
This checkers app is pretty cool. We love the sound affects on this game,they're totally awesome. The graphics are nothing short of amazing which makes for a great game. Checkers, draughts this app is fantastic!!! Great job.
We've never heard the game of checkers be called draughts. So not only is this a great checkers app but it has expanded our vocabulary.
We do love classic games and it's the reason why we like this checkers app. Mostly, we want to play draughts checkers app by ourselves. This app is cool and very addicting. There's no pop up ads during the time we were playing. This is worth the download.
This is a great checkers and draughts game that has high quality graphics and sound. The gameplay and learning curve fit each other really well and this is overall one of the best checker games we've played.
Fairly easy to navigate. Menus are user friendly. Hard level is challenging to the point of frustration but we can't put down !!! It's addicting and fun. It tickles our frontal lobe.
Our grandfather taught us to play checkers. We love this game since we were a kid. And now we play it in our iPhone. We're so happy.
It's a fun game just like real checkers. It gets your mind going and really gets you thinking.
Nice chess game, also cool design, it's comfortable to play. We can spend all evening playing dat game.
Checkers has always been one of our favourite hobby. This one is a classic, good looking and plays very well. We also love this game because it has two player mode. Thanks.
We've not played this great game for about 5 or more years. We're glad found it! The app is very interesting and clever.
We love checkers and these are great. It's so enjoyable to play with other person. Also it has good AI so you can play alone and it's still interesting.
It's really challenging playing chess game, this game is very good designed. The most we like of this game is the ability to set our own rule. Love it.
This game is really adicting one for any one who started playing with a super and simple design and game flow is really a special and you can play this game together with your friend and can play whole day. Thanks for sharing with us.
We usually like playing checkers game which helps to improve intellect. This game must be one of the best since the UI is very simple but neat. So far it runs fine and we feel quite challenging.
If you love the game of chess, this is a must have app. It has hundreds of lessons, tactics and tons of useful tools. Download and enjoy.
Bring your traditional game of checkers with you on the go with this quality app. It's plain and simple; you don't have to set up the board or anything, you just have to know how to play the game. You can select one player and play against the bot, or you can select two players and play with a friend. Plus, you can name your players, choose your side, and who goes first. This is definitely one of the better checkers apps out there, with zero glitches, and no hassle.
Fascinating game. Very challenging when competing at the most difficult level. Keeps us interested and looking to beat our unseen opponent.
Nice challenge for your brains. We always played this game with our brother in childhood, and now it is in our phone.
This app is just what we needed! It is simple and cool, there is nothing superfluous. We wish you will enjoy this game as much as we did :).
This app is hands down the best checkers app available in the App Store. We love the two-player option which we do with our nephew. Great app, it's not just for one.
This checkers app really brought us back to when we were a kid and used to play checkers with our grandfather. The design has that nostalgic feel to it and the interface is easy and simple to use. Checkers like its supposed to be.
Clean and nice design, really gives you a wood feel since this is a board game. Would recommend showing the menu the instant you open the app but having a button for it is okay too. Smooth animation when moving checkers and helps the game a lot. Would really like to see a better font though. Other than that, this game is very fun.
Of course this app still needs improvement but we find that these kinds of games need to be made simple. They don't need to have any cool visual effects or something, it just needs to be decent. The design of the menu could still be improved so that it is more visually appealing and at the same time be made simple at the same time. As for the gameplay, it is smooth and easy to play, we have no complaints there.
Well-designed checker game. It's very easy to play but hard to play well. Nice interface and good music. Our only suggestion is to have basic tutorial to guide how to play well with rules. So far so good.
One of our favourite games of all time. Thanks a lot for making it happen.
This is our favorite game app out there right now because we are a checkers head we totally love this idea of making it a app. Now we can play checkers when ever we want thanks to this app, if you love checkers than you love this app 5 stars from us keep up the good work guys :).
Hey guys this game is so good and we always play this game whenever we are in stress.
Checkers game is one of our favorite childhood games.we are so happy to found this checkers app. The draughts board is so nice.The graphics are very cool. It gives the experience of playing this game on a board.
This game is so catchy and the gameplay so addictive. It's a great time killer. The graphics are also pretty nice and friendly.
We like the concept of the game but playing can be not that enjoyable due to the average graphics, slow thinking and pop ups.
Checkers used to be our favorite table game back then and now we have them in our phone! So happy. Thank you guys.
Glad they made an app like this. Honestly one of our fav childhood games and now we have it on our phone. Thanks.
It's checkers! We love checkers. Simple game, but at the same time makes you think. Think and think. Now we can play it on our iPad with our classmates in our free time. Thanks.
Omg we've been missing this game so much! Thank you for bringing it back to us.
This is a fun checkers game. It is very addictive. It is easy to play.
Exciting game! Bring back the old times we really love this.
Checkers game like in a real life. The gameplay is very smooth and graphics is very well drawn. Advice all to play.
Played it after long time.. Really enjoyed.
Excellent app. We prefer to play with friends, we have a great time.
This game of chess is quite challenging but fun to play. Its graphics is simply designed. We have to think critically before moving to another step. We think it's quite addictive and to play. At first, we didn't where to walk strategically correctly until we lost two games that we realized how the game works. There is one drawback though. Every time the game ends, there is a pop-up ad running around 5 seconds before we can play another game which is somehow annoying and distracting you from playing. But we guess it is because it is the free game. That's why it needs ads to survive.
This app would be pretty good for a beginner but if you are skilled at checkers it really gets boring to win by such a wide margin. If they made it possible to lose it would be much more fun.
There's a problem it keeps on going to our main page whenever we were about to win please fix it and it cheated because if wasn't exactly as it was before.
The game is fun, but it crashes every few games, it shows chips that have been kinged in previous games, sometimes when we make a double jump it will jump once and take our piece away, and if we get a king and don't move it for a few turns it won't let us move it from the opponents side.
Hard to beat the computer, but nothing is impossible.
The app does what it says but nothing else, It would be nice to have some other features, customization.
It seems good at first but is is very glitchy. There are extra pieces and it made the have very confusing and hard to play.
It has several annoying bugs. The one that occurs on every game is that the upper left corner doesn't refresh when a chip is moved out of it.
Immediately tired of a popup locking our screen and giving us the options to visit an AppStore site or close out of the app. Deleted after three days.
We like the app from description but it crashes whenever we launch it,plzz release a cleaner version in next update.
