User Reviews

Users praise the app’s minimalist, ad-free, lightweight design, strong AI, offline play, and useful position-setup practice tools. Repeated complaints center on slow top-level thinking, engine stability (repeated/illegal or random moves and autoplay concerns), missing checkers variants/board sizes, and some confusing interaction/undo behavior for less experienced players.

Pros

Minimalist, lightweight design with no ads and low storage/battery use
Strong, challenging AI at higher difficulty levels
Works offline for play without a network connection
Helpful practice features (e.g., Position Setup) for studying positions

Cons

Top-level thinking is slow — long move computation/response times reported
Engine stability issues: repeated or seemingly illegal/random moves (autoplay-related complaints)
Missing popular rule variants and board types (flying king, Tanzanian, international 10x10, Russian/Pool)
Usability/interaction problems for some users (undo/double-capture behaviour confusing for beginners)

This was already the only serious Checkers (Draughts) app on Android. With many useful features. Just noticed it was updated this year! Thanks for maintaining the app.
