This update includes internal improvements in preparation for future updates.
In future versions, some data from previous versions may no longer be transferable.
We are currently in a data migration preparation period, so please update to version 2.1.5 or later and launch the app at least once before future updates.
Launching the app once will update internal data to a format compatible with future versions.
Now, a short update from the developer.
I’ve always been more of a music listener than a player. The only instrument I had ever played was the melodica back in elementary school. About three years ago, I decided on a whim to buy an acoustic guitar, with the simple thought that “it would be cool if I could play.”
The guitar turned out to be much more challenging than I expected.
Learning chords, pressing multiple strings with my left hand, keeping rhythm with my right—my head and fingers couldn’t keep up. The sound was muddy, and I often stopped before the song even began to take shape. I quickly gave up on learning by myself and started attending a guitar lesson once a month.
The first songs I practiced were by The Beatles. They’re supposed to be great songs, but when I played them, they somehow sounded different.
My teacher said, “Everyone starts like this,” but I had no idea when that “start” phase would end.
Three years later, I’ve learned the chords I use most, and I can now play slow-tempo songs all the way through without stopping.
I still make mistakes, and my rhythm can be questionable, but it does sound like “something resembling a song.” Compared to myself three years ago, that feels like real progress.
When I practice at home, my cats look slightly annoyed, as if to say, “Could you stop that sound now?”
Interestingly, over time, my goal shifted from “I want to get better” to “I’ll just play a little today.”
Some days I play well, and other days I feel worse than the day before. Still, simply picking up the guitar and making some sound helps clear my mind.
What once felt like a challenge with no visible goal has now become part of my daily life.
Despite mildly bothering my cats, I still pick up the guitar today.
I think this relationship will continue for a while.

Community Insight:
IPhone Xs game doesnt fit screen. Please update and fix.
Best feature- escalation of difficulty in noticeable increments. Least favorite is ads. Worth a download, very enjoyable.
The AI computer is fast, but the computer places 2 chips at a time. We can pretty much never win against the AI, and it becomes no fun. The 1v1 mode is excellent though. So please improve the AI or make a AI mode for beginners.
This is a really good Reversi game but when you buy the options for .99 it still does not remove the full page pop up ADS!!! Will delete again and eat our cost!!!! Tried to contact developer but a language we do not understand on their site.
This version of Othello is fast and well written. Easy to play. Recommended.
If you are looking for the Superman of Reversi games, this probably is not it. We say probably, because we have only been playing this version for about an hour or so. Nevertheless, having already achieved level 3 in the Challenge play mode, we find it underwhelmingly easy to beat (100% victories so far) and we consider ourselves to be an average player. Perhaps a Superman Reversi AI is waiting in disguise under this mild-mannered exterior, but if so, it has yet to reveal its true identity. In any case, this app lives up to its title. It is quick, perhaps not too smart, since it makes many beginner mistakes, but quick all the same. If you're looking for a challenge, perhaps a different Reversi app would be more to your liking, but if you are looking for some fast Reversi fun, with easy-to-win victories, this game may be just right for you.
Great game. Has four different player groups so the kids can share.
