Sound stuck

Really?17

There is no option to turn off sound, even when sound is off on iPad. Please fix this!


Great Game - could use volume/sound effect control

Nickname *-*

Overall, it's a really awesome game. It's good because you have to use strategy and think, but is fun and addicting. One player mode is great. The only thing I would change is maybe add volume control (raise, lower, or mute controls within the game).


Great Fun

Great fun; however it is a time waster!!!


Great game!

Buckybeak

Reminds of the original. Love the classic layout.


Great way to learn Go

Kaligleean

Great for beginners learning Go. Learned in under 10 minutes.


Clicking noise ruins an otherwise decent game

Hyjkiun

Not being able to turn off the clicking, plus not honoring the volume setting is a pretty silly omission. Must come from a coding sweatshop.


Annoying

Trellame

Now this game is annoying and loaded with ads. It also crashes when you go to the settings menu. Should have left it alone.


Horrible

Wjennings459

A great app ruined through updates. Doesn't work with iOS 9.3 anymore. Just crashes.


Crashes on splash screen

100 Watt Walrus

After hesitant "upgrade" from iTurnStones to Othello (because the new screenshots look terrible), now the app loads the new branded splash screen, stays there for 10s or so, then bombs. Every time.


The rise of Adware

Cyimri

All the cosmetic changes in the world can't fix greed. Clever to license the actual Othello brand but it is ultimately just an ad-server for the (formally) enjoyable game of iturnstones. The thing is I'd pay to remove ads. I do that with a number good apps and I understand this supports the developer. Both for the users willing to tolerate intrusive ads and those that will pay to clear them. But it is a single transaction. You make the program ad free and I willingly pay. But this developer has become the grasping money junkie we are seeing everywhere. Ad-free isn't a transaction, it's a subscription. There is nothing else gained from giving the developer support. You have to pay a fee to be ad-free on a recurring basis! My eyes are held hostage on a subscrition basis. That is developer greed, not app development. This is the way it works, pay once for ad-free and transaction complete. We go our seperate ways. Since you are not, you are demanding my custom on a regular repeating basis, you break that faith. I take my business elsewhere. App deleted.
