User reviews

Users appreciate the game's simple and addictive gameplay with a clean interface and offline play options. However, many are frustrated with intrusive ads and the AI's predictable and sometimes incorrect play. Online multiplayer lacks active opponents and has connectivity problems. There are also reports of glitches in gameplay such as incorrect stone placement and issues with timing, which degrade the experience. Users desire improvements like better AI, more game modes, clearer rules, and ad-free options.

Pleasant user interface and visually appealing presentation

Online multiplayer suffers from lack of available opponents and connection issues
Gameplay issues including glitches with stone placement and timing issues that affect moves

The huge ad at the bottom of the screen blocks the numbers on your side of the board. Fail. Uninstalled.

This app was better a year ago before the last two updates. Latest update overruns the game with ads. The update before that sped up the game play so you can't follow the move being played until it is over. I used to love this game app but now it sucks.
