Review summary

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)
