Thank You, but...

I echo that would be great if it werent so easy to beat! Also a 2 player feature would be nice. Overall, thanks very much for the free App - even though I know Ill win, I love Othello and cant stop playing!!

Its free so you cant complain much

And its a lot of fun too. But Im not really very good at Othello and I had no problem beating this game even at the hardest setting. But...its free after all.

Its okay..

Problems: 1. Doesnt save your game 2. Bug where sometimes the CPU doesnt move even when he can! 3. Hard mode is still very easy for an experienced player, in fact i think medium might be harder!

I also prefer Othello over Morocco

Ive used both Othello and Morocco since I got the 3G in July. This is the one I always come back to for its ease of use and nice design. Fun to play. And the price is right!

Good design and free

Good design and free, what to say more?

Experienced players will find this too easy

I agree with those who note this as too easy to win. Game play is good, the graphics look great, and pretty much everything else is just fine. If the author would just update the computer game play, this would be a lot of fun, even worth paying $$ for.

What a dumb name change

This app has now been deleted from my iPhone. The name Black and White now looks like, Black....White on my home page. This is NOT acceptable. Youd think some thought would have gone into this if the copyright holder of Othello objected. Dumb name change; think of something else, Hongtao.

Name change is stupid

No reason to change the apps name from its real name, othello, to black and white. Horrible decision.

Free & Awesome!

Guess what. I play one round of othello in about 5 minutes here. I dont really need to save and the game on easy version whoops me all the time. This ones better looking and free. Nuff Said!

Name?

This was perfectly fine before, now with the new name it doesnt fit under the icon and has to have the "..." I hate when apps do that. The game is fine and I love it, but the name needs to be fixed.

Relaxing and fun

Not the most challenging app out there, but a fun game and free. I really like playing--its somewhat addicting.

Medium is hardest... And other issues

1) The medium setting seems more difficult than the hard setting. If you find "hard" not challenging enough, try switching to medium. This is strange because hard is much slower than medium. On hard I win 95% of the time--on medium I win only half of the time. I wonder what would happen if the developer played "medium" against "hard"... 2) Navigating away from the game abandons any progress in the current game. There is no "save game." 3) No option to let the AI start the game. No option to play white. 4) There is no randomization in The opponent. You can "memorize" gameplay because each AI skill has only one play for each possible set of choices. In order to introduce some variety in your play--you have to make moves that seem silly just because you want the opponent to be unpredictable. 5) The game does not inform you if the opponent passes or if you must pass. You have to figure that out yourself, which can be annoying if you want to keep your attention on the board.

Potential

This is a very fun game; however, this game would be much better if you included a multi-player option. Id give 5* if I could multi with friends. FYI. The asian writing has captions for translation.

Top 10

Love this game, I pass the time away at work on a slow day.

great for free

I enjoy playing this game and after all what would I complain about, it was free.

Ok

The easy mode is preschool level but middle and hard are WAY to hard. Something actually in the middle would be nice.

Nice!!

Very nice looking version of reversi! I only wish there were some smooth animations for the flipping of the pieces.

FAILURES

Everyone who plays this is a failure at life. Also if you play this game you must have NO friends and NO life

Ahhhhhhh!!!!

This is the stupidest game ever, I cant win ever and its on easy, is their any option where you can go after them? cause that seems to be the only possible way to win, u have no life if u can beat this game

Favorite game

Excellent game that is very addictive. Ive had this app longer than any other because every game is new and different
