Community Insight:
Bare bones and NO ADS. Perfect for fast playing and solo practice.
We thought we would breeze through this, but Im so wrong.
On the hardest level against the AI is tough, but not impossible. Although the AI is tricky it will use a diversion to keep you occupied, then it will strike where you least expect it. So when you least expect it, EXPECT IT.
Hey we love thi game you made it is so fun.
Really fun and every time you play against the computer you want to win.
The game is ok, but when we click easy, its hard. We might not be good at four in a row, but we just think its weird. Great game tho. We recommend it to everyone.
They interrupted us so we could write this review. Amazing.
This app loads slow. The advertisements are too long and Hard to get rid.
It kinda is hard when you're on easy level it still is hard.
When playing the 4 in a row game, it closes other apps that may be playing.
Cant change username on this game.
Opponent move does not register unless you exit game play and return to board. This used to work but now unplayable. Please fix. We have iPhone 6. Same issue still exist.
Very entertaining. Keeps us entertained on a plane, waiting for appointments, and so forth.
The game is fun in all but you play rounds and it freezes then glitches thats why Im getting rid of this app.
…Sometimes You Win; sometimes You lose.
We love this. It help to focused and it fun game.
We play this game everyday, several times! Love, love it.
A very good game to past the time.
This game brings back so many great memories of connect four! So easy to play and fun.
Lots of fun. Can play and play. Fun to beat computer. We're up to winning 5000 games now vs just over 1500 for computer.
An excellent thought provoking game.
Game is good thinking means winning more.
The kids liked to play this game until they started network play with the grandparents. It can't seem to determine when a game has begun, after 2-3 starts it finally seems to work, except every move they have to exit to the main menu and select network play and reselect the game once it can determine whose play it is. Kids are so frustrated they no longer want to play.
The game isn't self isn't bad, it's the fact it bombards you with ads. We understand fully that it's free but it also sends you out of the ap countless times and gives messages like "free phone" to the player that could cause a virus. So we you want to play this cute game while waiting. Get it somewhere else. Don't risk your phone.
This game is great. It is really adictive.
Fun game. Fast pace and lots of strategy.
Fun and developmentally constructive.
Fun and works well but harder than it appears.
We have so much fun playing the game! We really have to pay attention when playing fast so we don't lose. We enjoy wasting time playing.
Very simple. Easy to use. We've encountered no bugs. We highly recommend it.
A simple game that is addictive! Fun.
We hate getting beat! Especially if we should have seen it coming… We're addicted.
We get plenty p'd-off with this Four In A Row game; however, we cannot stop playing it. We do win, but it demands extreme focus. Luv it.
Love this game and the app is amazing.
We love Connect Four, and although there's nothing like playing with a real person, whenever we're alone and craving this game we have a nice app to go to.
Let's you know when you're not thinking! Some people may not like that, but it can be beaten. Just stay on your p' and q's.
We had the best score ever 6stars our nigas.
Going back in time great games of the 70s.
Always fun. A classic that everyone should play on a regular basis.
This is very old game… Nicely developed app.. The way logic decides whether it will end up in draw or not needs to modify or improve…. Many time user is definitely going to wins ends up in a draw. Apart from that no other issues … Nice app and loving it.
If you don't have this what have you been doing with you're life we love all opptime apps.
We love playing this game! Simple easy…doesn't require a lot of brain power.
Great game. Should you play against the computer, be very careful lest the PC beat you. Lots of fun.
Love this game, keep "U" thinking. A great play.
At first it looked easy but we quickly realized you really have to think to win. Ver adictive great game.
Easy is too easy; hard is fun but hard. Could really use a medium difficulty but otherwise very well polished.
Good for clearing your mind, occasionally. It is fast and makes you concentrate.
Exercises the brain to be awake and steady.
We played this game for two hours on a flight with a 7 year old. It really helped pass the time.
