I have never played checkers before this app. Good for beginners and experts. You can set the computer to easy or intermediate. You can also play against your friends which is great because you don't have to set up a board and it is easy to pull out your phone and play. I literally learned how to play checkers from this game, highly recommend

I've had it for years and it used to be good. It's the only game I play on my phone. However, it recently started highjacking the phone with ads. It takes over when trying to play and keeps redirecting to the Play Store. I had to fight it for a couple minutes just to be able to uninstall it. I'm disappointed and done with it.

Never had this happen, before... Started the app, selected single player, put my name, name for the computer, level of difficulty, and pressed start. BOOM! Instantly my phone was high jacked and play store opened, at Least 5 different COMPLETELY UNRELATED APPS, for me to download. The only one I caught the name of was of a Tax app, for filling taxes. Nope! As soon as I got my phone back and was able to get to my home page, I unstalled and am writing this review. All this happening, in 30 seconds

WHAT has happened to this one time, GREAT app?! This app has now been overtaken by over-the-top advertising. It wasn't enough that we patiently waited out the ads that the creator had us watch before playing their game... now they've RUINED their revenue stream. Don't waste your time with this one time great app! I've enjoyed this for years and years... not anymore.

I've always been a fan of checkers. However it is a little odd that after the last update, when playing the computer it just randomly gives up and says I win when there are still obviously possible moves left. I don't want win by default. I want to win by skill so that is my only issue with this game.

it's fun you can raise or lower the difficulty. you can build up your skills so you can beat your friends. learn new techniques and try to do the very best you can and have fun. It's fun to play with friends. If you don't have anyone that wants to play you can play by your self and still have fun. I reccomend downloading the game. And when you do HAVE FUN. Made by a 10 year old.
