User Reviews

The Othello delivers a deep, skill-building Othello experience thanks to a strong AI and rich feature set, including two-player play and move review. However, pervasive advertising and some UI/UX issues seriously hinder the experience, with ads often interrupting play or obscuring controls, and certain device UX limitations (like iPad landscape) reducing usability.
Pros
  • Strong AI with multiple difficulty levels provides a challenging, skill-building experience.
  • Feature-rich with two-player mode, handicaps, various settings, and move review.
  • Visually pleasant and easy to navigate with generally stable performance.
Cons
  • Intrusive ads after every game (often full-screen, sometimes unskippable) that disrupt play and lead users to delete the app.
  • Ads can cover UI elements or redirect to the App Store, interrupting the game.
  • Some UX annoyances include the need for multiple taps to start a new game and limited touch targets.
  • Lack of landscape support on iPad (no landscape mode).

I deleted this dumb app because there was an ad from the libtard kamila harris. I won’t download or use any of these apps! If you don’t vote for President Trump you’re anti American!
