Online play doesn’t work at all, and I can’t email support through the app. But playing vs the computer is pretty good.
Best Othelo Reversi game in the App store
Joel Burns
There are not a lot of users yet so you might have to wait a while to paired with an opponent, but this is the best-written Reversi/Othelo game in the app store. When playing solo (against the computer) the computer really is "smart" as the name suggests. Well done.
Wonderfully challenging!

I never knew how much I had to learn about Othello! I’ve been playing against AI and am consistently challenged, even on the student level. Everything works as it should, making for a smooth and pleasant experience. And all for a reasonable price. I really appreciate the developer making it available with no ads/no subscription. It’s well worth the price, thanks!
Guide is an overstatement

Don’t get this thinking you’ll get much help from a guide or tutoring. The skill levels quickly jump up too high at teacher level and you won’t be able to win 1 game in 10. Either way too easy or way to hard.
Dedicated learner.

Great way to practice different strategies and develop some skill. Playing vs. computer and losing a lot helps me beat my boyfriend more. ;-)
You can’t play a friend

Unfortunately I can’t find a way to invite a friend to play this game with me.
Correct my review titled “Junk”
Eichtal
As a novice I was unable to get the game going. Nevertheless, with some coaching we now really enjoy the game. It’s well worth the $2.99 price. I give this game five stars.
Good AI

A lot of other Othello / Reversi apps make spectacularly dumb moves that rob one of the pleasure of beating them, like making bad plays near the corners that they aren’t forced into. This one doesn’t, even at the easier levels. As a result it’s a lot more fun!
