Best othello with 2 player action

The other free alternatives might have slight better graphics. But this game is true to the original game. Having a 2 player action is just invaluable so much fun to play with friends anywhere. I love it.
The most challenging of the three
efadae
As the title suggests, "Reversi" has the most challenging AI of the 3 Reversi/Othello games I've tried so far. Morocco was only able to tie me once on hard (about which I'll not avoid whining about the fact that I was playing half-a**ed due to the lack of challenge) and Othello was a total breeze. Reversi, on the other hand, whoops me completely every time on master difficulty. As other reviewers have mentioned, other features include saving the game on exit, an available moves display, hints (haven't tried, but the AI is obviously good), a scoreboard to keep track of your record, and some very basic instructions. The undo button is also nice in case you accidentally hit the wrong square. The graphics are basic with animation for flipping pieces and sound effects for moves and flips. In all honesty though, I'm not sure a simple game like Reversi really needs much in the way of presentation. I personally would prefer not having to wait for the pieces flip sometimes. One thing that all of these games lack is the ability to play against another person over the network. I, for one, really hope that this feature is eventually added. So if you're looking for more of a challenge than the free apps offer, pony up the whopping $2 (and save a penny for a Tootsie Roll) and I don't think you'll be disappointed. And for those who complain about all of these games being impossible, just learn the rules and practice a little, maybe even look up some strategies (there are a few basic ones that I'm sure will get you past the easy difficulties) and you’ll enjoy this great game.
Better than Morocco

Morocco is great for free, but for a couple of bucks you can play this and be able to watch the gameplay happen . In Morocco moves happen instantaneously and thus I never know what happened. In Reversi, you can take back moves and it displays what the last move was. This helps a lot if you want to work on improving your game. If your a fan of the game, spend a couple dollars.
Free is not always best

For 2 bucks you get someone who will continue to make good games. This game is much better than the others. Enjoy.
great

This is the only game I've been playing more than once or twice. It's simple but freaking difficult to win. My only suggestion would be to make a button to request the hints, versus having them show up automatically after 4 seconds. Most of the time I like to figure out what I would do, then see if what the computer suggests. 4 seconds usually isn't long enough for that.
Fun game, but...

...could you add a way to turn off the chip-turning animations? It would make gameplay go much faster. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Almost perfect!

Great graphics and gameplay. Statistics and undo. The only complaint I have is that the animations are TOO SLOW. If it is going animate a piece at a time then it really needs to be twice as fast. Otherwise, keep the current speed and turn over all the pieces at the same time like the other versions of this game.
Disappointed

I am disappointed that I can't play against an opponent. No fun to play against yourself. Wasted my $$$. Want refund.
I love it!

I've downloaded most of the reversi games on the appstore. I keep going back to this one for two reasons: the AI and the graphics. The games are challenging and fun, and the piece flipping animation is really effectively done, especially on the classic board. I play it just to watch it :) Well, not quite. Easily the most played game on my iPhone.
