Community Insight:
Fun, complex and worth the money.
Maybe we are stupid, but the easy level is quite hard for us that we really need to think in order to beat it.
Fun game. Computer is actually challenging.
It works just like the board game.
Wish there was a play against computer. Otherwise love game.
We are easy level but we win some. Thanks.
This game requires you to give it a five star review before you can even play the first level.
You get what you pay for. At that level, its a bargain.
This game is solid dont change anything.
Works great and we like seeing all possible moves.
Cant put it down. This game is so much fun.
Dont like the required ads but free.
Really? So these stars just inflated? Maybe you can give a one star review and approve just needs to know a review was given? Reader, Just ignore our stars.
Its a very funny and entertaining game.
We can spend hours on this game trying to beat the levels! It's very challenging.
Recently we are writing a program on this game and will test the hard level.
We had to give it a 5-star to unlock hard.
You have to review w/5 stars to unlock.
Need a 5 star review to unlock. BS.
Great way to learn the game and improve quickly.
This game really challenges you and how you strategize.
Had to give 5 stars to unlock level.
Good way to practice so we can get our mom in the play in real life.
Now let us get back to the game.
Im required to write this in order to keep playing.
But, it is super addictive. Level 1 easy kicked our butt.
A+ classic game Ive been playing since it debuted as a board game. Now as a iOS game … Yasss.
Very challenging when it comes to think before you move.
Awesome game, so quick and easy to play.
Even though its called reversi…..this othello-wannabe got us hooked! Love it :).
Need to grade app to unlock hard level.
Game play and levels are nice. The advertisements are overwhelming. Held hostage by reviews after easy levels.
Good UI but weak AI. Maybe unlocking improves it.
So we have to put five stars and write a review to get hard level ,so thats what Im doing, this app was ok, we dont like the levels and all we just want to play this app regularly. You know just playing it the basic way without levels and stuff. And we cant believe you have to Rate five stars and write a review just to get to hard level! We mean its not that much to do to get to hard level, but what if youre secure? And dont like writing reviews? Well thats all we have to say, if you read all that, we just want you to know have a good day.
Title says it, but otherwise the ads aren't annoying and the game is challenging. Wish they would earn their reviews instead of demand it… If respect them more and probably actually give them a 5 star review.
It does play a challenging game, we enjoy playing against it. The commercials come with the territory but are annoying. All of that would keep us from giving it a 5, but they demanded a 5 to unlock hard. Edited – it said we had to do 5 stars to advance to hard, but it wont let us, so giving it 2 instead now.
Trying to enjoy the game and you are forced to play interactive game ads before you can play another round. That, and, we are playing and winning and not advancing. These developers are jerks (keeping it clean here). Wont buy anything from them. Plenty of other options.
This is cheating, so you need 5 star to unlock the game. It deserves 1 only.
You cant turn off the annoying music. You have to give it a five star review to progress.
App literally says you have to give a 5 star review to unlock levels. Super inappropriate in our opinion.
Easy level is anything but easy. The difficulty on just level one was a bit shocking, and it ramps up even more after, and that was the easy setting. It also requires a five star rating to unlock the hard levels, which seems very underhanded. There are better versions out there, we would suggest to keep looking.
Ive been playing Othello since it came out for our Nintendo in the 1980s, and have since tried various apps and computer games, each with their own flare. This game simply is not programmed well: the difficulty scaling is way off, making the so-called easy mode tuned more toward experienced players than the novice. Where it is expected that difficulty should steadily progress, the AI becomes downright brutal on levels two and three – and that is still on easy mode. That this company requires a 5 star rating to unlock a game mode is just inappropriate. Dont waste your time with this one. Get a different app for this game.
Asks for 5 star & review unlock to play hard mode.
This version of the Reversi game is a waste of time. Controls not defined and the game is not as user friendly as other Reversi games we downloaded.
