Ratings and Reviews
Generally good app
A suggestion for improvement would be to allow going both forward as well as back when planning moves.
Really good implementation of the game.
Just like his Chess by Post (which I also play) this is a really good implementation of the classic board game 'Draughts' - or as our Yanky friends like to call it 'Checkers'.
It has a 'play board' feature which let's you check moves out before playing them, to ensure things turn out to plan. It automatically employs the rules so disputes are avoided.
It also let's you chat as you play with opponents all over the world (and try to rise up the rankings). Great little game - easier than chess but still a good fun tease for the old grey matter.
Would be nice in a future version to see move numbers displayed as this helps when chatting about the game (you made a great squeeze on move 22). It's really good, try it!
Games by post
Although this is s very good app, like chess by post, I was one of the very first people to play chess by post and if you reported a bug or problem, Jeff, the app developer of both these apps, would be more than happy to get back to you and reply. But, as his app became more successful, he became more aloof, not responding to ANY of the emails he received from me and others! What are the chances of that happening here with this app? Even money, I'd say!!!
