I use to love it, now you can't see the right side of the screen and even playing on "full screen" doesn't allow for bigger screen on new devices such as Galaxy Note 8

Used to love this app. All of the sudden in last 2 wks hijacked phone with ads. 1000 MB of background in 2 weeks & haven't played it since January. Ads appear in all games on phone not just here. Uninstalled.

Three difficulty levels, no crashes, fun game. 29-July-15 removed one star for mandatory portrait mode. Also, the game is quite good but there are numerous variations; there is even a version that allows the user to set the rules. Can you do that too?

DON'T INSTALL! Same as others, this app has been perfectly innocuous for years and suddenly in the past month or so, I was getting video pop-up ads in other apps that shouldn't have it, like FB and IG. My security scan app didn't detect it so I went to data usage and YEAH, this dinky app was using 10x more data than FB. Plus others' reviews here. So glad I figured it out!

Can't see whole game, my collection bin is not visible

Z70%
by Z####:

I enjoyed this game and have had it for a long time. Then it suddenly went from using .01GB/month *or less*, to 2.37GB this month! I finally figured out which app has been popping up video ads! Pricks!

J70%
by J####:

This app works, but unfortunately pops full screen ads everywhere, even when using other apps. Also asks for more permissions than necessary so I assume it's harvesting data.

E70%
by E####:

You guys should update this to make any games where no turn has been made in a few days (or a week) automatically forfeit. I hate how I have a list of 20 or so games just "waiting" for my opponent to make a turn.

Z70%
by Z####:

After recent updates app now is a major power drain even after force closing and randomly spawns full screen pop up ads during other apps. This is becoming a spam bot!! Reported app.

Used to work on my old droid incredible. Now it's broken on turbo 2. I can't pass the time with mom playing this.

F70%
by F####:

Recent update includes video ads that download in the background using both Wi-Fi and mobile data. For me, about 700MB in the last 10 days, half of that mobile data. The ads play whether you have the app running or not and don't tell you what app they are coming from. Uninstalled.

App never loads. Only thing that works are the pop-up ads. :(

I'm getting so good at playing Mancala I'm finally beating my daughter! Great ap, great options. Ads are not too bad, especially compared to other games.

L70%
by L####:

update says there are no ads but there is a constant banner at the bottom and periodic popups. animation are clunky. bad esthetics

M70%
by M####:

Plays like an actual physical game. Wish the game board fit within entire screen. Can't see one pit. Hard to calculate if winning or losing until the game is over.

L70%
by L####:

No matter how long I leave ot sit, the app staying in a constant stat of trying to load the game. It can show advertisements with no problem but it wont ever load the game.

M70%
by M####:

Why does this game now need my location? I will not update until you can explain what's up with all the new permissions.

Fun game with good graphics, but even the difficult setting is rather easy. This a good version if your just learning the game.

M70%

Won't load game even though ads have loaded. Used to be a good app. Uninstalled.

G70%

The update is bad. It freezes a lot and the portrait view is annoying. Miss the older version

S70%
by S####:

Having same problem as everyone else won't even load passed first ad!

M70%
by M####:

Ads are increasingly intrusive. Golf seems to not work (and nothing in instructions about it). Sometimes highest score wins sometimes lowest score wins. There seems to be no variation between Medium and Hard skill levels.

This is one of my favorite Apps and one of the first I ever installed... Now that I have upgraded to a new phone, an LG G4, it won't load... It stays on the loading screen. And why do they need new permissions? Data miners... Ugh! I would rather pay for the app than have apps mine data.
