Nope. The 'new' update is not up to par. – Othello - The Official Game Review

Licensing the actual Othello game is not am improvement. Going from sleek 3D clean, uncluttered design to the muddy and confusing graphics of this version was a startlingly bad experience when I just played it for the first time. The former iTurnstones had a lot going for it. I have no further need for this game, after years of playing it. I will be uninstalling it. And telling my friends.
