Good for 2 players but needs improvement – All-in-One Board Games Review

I got this app specifically for its ability to play over Bluetooth & Game Center. I tested it on iPod Touch 3G with iOS 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.2 over Bluetooth & found several problems. Fix the following & this will be a 5 star app. Need to add these options for all games: 1) select who goes first, 2) enable a rule that the winner goes first in the next game, 3) enable a rule that players alternate going first in each game, 4) choose who is player 1 & player 2, 5) scorekeeping (make use of the empty space at the bottom of the screen where there were ads in the free version), 6) When someone wins the game, display the message in such a way that it doesn't block the view of the board. Players need to be able to see how they won or lost. 7) Make Bluetooth connection persistent & able to run in the background so that the game can continue when phone rings or when switching apps. Problems Checkers: After a long game, iOS 5.1.1 device crashed. Gomoku, Othello, & Backgammon: After just a couple of moves, iOS 7.1.2 device crashes. 4 in a row: Player 1 & player 2 chip colors at the top of screen are backwards. Chess: Need indicator when a player puts the other player in check. Ludo: Needs bluetooth/network play capability for 4 players. Tic Tac Toe: Ok, but need to alternate which player starts game. Dots & Mancala: No problems found.
