The app features a unique "move coach" that displays all valid moves as ghost stones, along with animations highlighting new and flipped stones, enhancing player experience.

## Review summary

Users praise Reversi for Android for being ad-free, very small in size, and having a strong, adjustable AI with offline two-player support. The app is lightweight, runs well on old devices, and drains little battery. Common criticisms focus on UI issues introduced by updates (layout and navigation overlap), occasional slow performance, AI behavior (corner tactics and limited low-end options), and a request for a last-move indicator to aid play tracking.

### Pros

- Ad-free experience with no ads
- Extremely lightweight: very small app size and smooth performance on old devices
- Strong, tunable AI with multiple difficulty levels
- Offline two-player mode
- Low resource usage and efficient operation (low battery drain)

### Cons

- UI regressions after updates (top information row disappears, full-screen/overlapping navigation and status bars) which hamper usability
- AI can be overly strong or corner-biased and lacks enough low-end difficulty options
- Occasional slow performance on some devices or after updates
- Missing last-move indicator / requests to mark the last played cell
