Abalone for Android
Great teaching aid but you won't climb the ratings ladder fast on a Galaxy S7: it hangs unexpectedly saying you're not connected to the network even if you're only on mobile. Tells you to reconnect but it's hung so you can't. It then times out and YOU lose! SO frustrating. On the other hand I got tons of points when one of my opponents who is apparently higher rank than I lost right out the gate and wasn't even allowed to make his first move. So sad... Abalone is a great game.
Would be very useful in network game to check the ranking of the opponent before beginning the game. Tends to become frustrating when playing 2-3 times against only top100 and losing badly. Or at least randomize the players on similar level of experience.
I played the game on one phone up to War level and when I changed it , it started from the begining .How can I fix the problem?
Please add older purchases to family library. We supported you back then. Now show some appreciation. Thanks.
When you press (next level) it does not go to the next and the restart level is not working
Very good thinking strategy gme
As good as the real thing, only u can't lose the marbles on this one! :)
The game has perfect design in reality and in software
gameplay itself is quite satisfactory
The game itself is fine, but every time I start the game it wants me to sign into Google Play Games services and whatnot... Every time! There is no way of turning this off. I don't care for Google's shitty services all I want is to play that game.
Iv had this game as a board game since I was a kid and loved it! So happy ins on android now!
On Android 5.0.1 at least, the app won't log in Play Games for synchronisation : after choosing the right Google account, it just lags forever and does nothing. Please fix this bug as it is painful to restart from scratch and not get the achievements recorded.
Training levels are helpful. Game play and user interface are well designed.
Well crafted abalone android port
Love playing this!
I love playing this game!
The rating system needs some improvement. I shouldn't have to spend half an hour playing a much lower rated player to earn 1 lousy point. A players rating should be shown along with an abort on first move option. Other than that, I give the game 4 stars for excellent graphics and play ability. Please consider my suggestions for any future upgrades. Thx!
Funny :)
Very addicting. It's kinda like a complex version of checkers. I can't wait till I get to buy the actual board game..
I learned about this game at the NY Hall Of Science in Queens county back in 1990. Thank you.
Unable to play with specific users which is a bummer. Opponents are randomly selected. Interface is nice though.
Demands to connect to Google Play and to access your circles; if you untick the boxes it says the app is incorrectly configured.
As good as the real thing, only u can't marbles!
Can this perhaps be played with friends online? Edit: online playing has been added in the new version. You can play with anonymous players. However, there are still needs to be some improvements especially to privately arranged game as well as some bugs in the game play

That's right. AMA has made the perfect port. The game has wonderful visuals and runs smoothly in my tablet. The game includes the standard version 1v1 with other humans and multiple difficulties AI. In addition, hearing the professional players of Abalone complains regarding the classic standard setup of the game, they include the german and belgian versions and many others. Not stopping there, the developers have included a large series of challenges for the player to pass. This is the best feature, because is a largely forgotten one in other boardgames ports. I hope the next game the port to Android will have similar features, making it the perfect buy. Thank you guys.
Great version of abalone.
Great.... I love it
Great, but bring bw back please...
Crashes
I find it difficult to correctly move the marbles in the right direction. It happens a lot to me and I find it frustrating hence 4 stars instead of 5. Avoid the free version. Ads ruin the experience and I found it way intrusive. Get the pay version it's worth it. On to the good stuff: I love the tabletop version of this game. When I saw the android version I had to get it. It's great. This game, like chess, is mind numbingly hard against experienced opponents. Very enjoyable.
Very pleased. I'm new to this game, though it's been around a while. The app does what it's supposed to.
Good thinking game, sort of a variation on Go or Reversi. Very nice game...
SO much fun! my new favorite game.
Seriously. I disdain all this soccer frenzy. I think one can find most similarly minded people exactly among abstract logic game fans.
Apparently Abalone is one of those games that can be re-themed because today marked the day that I uninstalled this otherwise decent Abalone implementation. This ridiculous branding exercise ruins the otherwise meditative and serene feeling to the game. I understand someone over there thought this was a good idea but it ruins the whole experience and is an otherwise pointless cash-in on the World Cup event in Brazil.
The only annoying thing us how the game automatically zooms in if you cancel a move or accidentally try to move a piece you cannot. If you fix that bug it'll be five stars easy!

We love this game at home and now we can take it with us everywhere we go without having to worry about a marble getting away! It also is a teacher of strategy, which I love. Only problem is I can't use the replay button or the one that moves me forward along my path, I have to go back to the main menu and pick all the levels again. There is no where to report this that I have found in game, so I put it here. Even though it is frustrating, it is so worth it.
