I've been playing this draughts for a while and have these observations for your action: First, sometimes while you're still in play the game freezes and fails to respond, yet you'll lose the game and your bet. Secondly, while playing with an online opponent, you see your marbles are conspicuously getting lost, while you don't even see the moves of your opponent's and then you end up losing the game and your bet unfairly. Since the last updates we released in August, the control has gotten worse: profile cannot be updated and it's too bad. Also, it crushes anytime other apps are updated, or new apps are being installed. The only good thing I have to applaud is that there's no ads when using the game. I hope someone is really receiving these reviews and will fix them. Thank you.

Don't bother downloading waste of time. It won't let you pick the piece you want to play so this ends up the computer winning all the time and you never win!
