    Thank you for the Swift tutorials Google Hacking with Swift                     Thanks mehdi.eff
    New update now has a smarter and tougher AI Count of the marbles in pit were added after request Great gameplay                     Best in Class derbeno
    Boohiss     Update ruined good app Zonny
    New version is terrible There is no stone count for each cup and no way to count how many stones when they pile up Bring back original version I am deleting this version     Me2801 Me2801
    Looks great and the computer can put up a good challenge Can t wait to play it on my Apple TV                     A good bit of fun cw86
    Hate the new look feel sound and most of all music are ruined Please bring back the old work I just deleted this one     Me Master cheese 1
    No totals in pockets and moves are very slow     No good A&J Honolulu
    The look of the marbles pebbles is cheap and awful Liked the older version much better Will now be deleting     HATE THE NEW LOOK muffin 55
    I bought this game in hopes of being able to play mancala but this game is nothing like the real thing It just isn t worth the money and I wish I hadn t bought it The computer cheats also     Don t waste your money Avalene4664
    It s not worth the money I bought it wanting to play classic mancala but it just cheated and is nothing like real mancala you better off just buying the game it self then a virtual one Don t waste your money     DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY KATandMEOW
    This is a very nice app but please update with what other reviewers have already suggested Especially multi tasking support If I switch apps my game starts over Unacceptable             Good but Entomophilic
    The graphics and audio quality are nice The game board and stones should be a little brighter they are a little dim and therefore mildly straining on my eyes The AI seems to respond to my moves with the same move every time I ve figured out a pattern where I can defeat the computer 29 19 playing four stones every single game on the Med and Hard modes and I can defeat the computer on Easy 25 23 every game I don t play Easy mode very often so I don t care much about increasing the score differential Since this app is my introduction to the game of Mancala I find this predictability quite boring after several games I ve recently purchased a real bored and I m anxious to compete against a human opponent It appears this game actual board and stones offers a complex game tree with countless outcomes This app did get me initially interested in the game however it doesn t continue to challenge me Since it was a good introduction I would recommend it and consider it to be useful but predictable             Predictable AI scootchefs
    I wish I could rate this five stars because I love mancala but the game itself isn t very good Al cheats and takes too many moves It was not worth my money and I would rather spend 15 on a real game than but this CHEAP game The price is cheap but so is the game Sorry to rain on your parade but it is not a good game I m very upset mancala lover     Nooooo Missimiaaaaaaaafunone
    My kids started playing with a physical mancala board and then I bought this app because it s portable As a bonus it provides a nice clear exposition of the rules Given the nearly bottomless complexity of the game the designer can be excused for not including a sequence of tutorials for how to strategize It s better to jump in and learn by doing and this makes that super accessible                     Fun challenging very informative Thatpaul79
    Unfortunately there are a few key issues 1 The Computer AI isn t very advanced It uses prescriptive moves and doesn t appear to think in an organic way 2 No GameCenter integration Why 3 No Multi Tasking support This is the least forgivable one Want to reply to that text Check a reminder or app notification If you leave this app you WILL lose your game because there s no multi tasking support It s ridiculous and the reason I just can t keep it on my phone anymore         Wish I could rate it higher world-shaker
    I like the music and graphics but wish there were an option for alternating first play             Enjoyable Theatahdahling
    This game actually teaches you how to play along with presenting good graphics audio quality that sounds as if your playing the modern version in real life and presents a challenge                     Real Quality Milles77630

    I ve been searching for a Mancala app that s actually worth paying for ever since I got my iPhone almost a year ago Every single Mancala app I ve come across was either not worth the money not in retina display or so awfully made I was surprised it even made it onto the App Store I was about to give up but then I found this app Let s just say I m extremely surprised this app only costs 0 99 as it s easily worth more It s a very well made app with top notch graphics and smooth game play So many Mancala apps don t have the classic game board and marbles opting instead to force players to use ugly game boards and stupid looking pieces All I wanted was an app that was the closest thing to the real game as an app can get and this app definitely delivered that I love the game board and marbles and everything else about the app so much The app is perfect and I hope the developer never changes a thing If you re looking for a classic well made Mancala app this is the one to get It s perfect in every way and definitely worth the money                     Perfect Tansey214
    Not sure about other people s issues This game works perfectly for me                     Works perfect looks perfect grape__ape
    Do not purchase this cheating game I want my money back I cannot continue my turn but the computer s turn is never over and it grabs ball of the marbles                     Big rip off Happy lady 4 2 day
    This brings back great memories of playing Mancala with my dad when I was younger The game play is so realistic it s unbelievable                     Amazing Chrissy22222

    Running iOS 5 and the app crashes Can t play it anymore tried deleting and reinstalling and hard restarting my iPad to no avail Hope the update comes out soon 5 stars if it works     Needs an update JesseLMunoz
    When playing with player two starting on medium difficulty you can t play again without revisiting main menu             has bugs still cjz23
    This is just like playing the original game down to the sound of the marbles Definitely a favorite                     Just like the real game allbean32
    It s a fun game although I wish there were a harder computer opponent I ve always loved this game but I find the hard setting a lacking the complete challenge that I have when playing with friends                 Fun Mom of M&R
    It s okay It is a AWESOME game but sometimes it freezes and you can t unfreeze it You have to restart the game Only sometimes Otherwise it s a great game                 Okay Oswald63
    Very few people seem to know how to play this game so I am grateful for the iPad app The colors are nice the graphics are very clear Love the music and the sounds The AI is just right The game moves smoothly and quickly I ve not experienced any freezing issues nor have I had to restart the game except when I was losing This is honestly one of the best 99 cent purchases I have ever made This is a game I will play over and over Hats off to the developer                     Mancala at it s Best Lostingames
    Mancala is a time honored game that s easy to learn fun to play and can be quick paced This app is gorgeous and well done Good tutorial too Get it You ll enjoy it The only hitch is it does tend to lock up at the end of the game from time to time For me the first time was when the AI opponent iPad hey a guy gets lonely sometimes and I ended in a tie Second time when I beat the AI opponent 28 to 20 ending the game with a last move of moving one stone over to capture the opponent s last stone Each time requiring a restart of the app Hasn t happened in the middle of a game Nothing awful really Just restart the app The bug has been reported and is a known issue                 Great game Mtnmedic64
    Very challenging and fun Screen freezing problem described in other reviews is annoying and needs to be fixed             Fun game but freezes up Abarca Court
    Great game Very easy to pick up but you can spend hours learning the finer points If the developer fixes the bug that causes the game to lock up this will be a five star game                 Great Strategy Game Lorrana
    Good implementation other than the fact it freezes at the end of the game and needs to be quit and restarted Would also be great to have a countdown timer game clock option                 Freezes at the end SayAhoy
    so far I ve played it a few times and it froze each time i won but was fine if Al won maybe it will be better after a few more tries             icemaiden91
    For those of you old computer geeks like myself you might remember this game as a game within a game from Quest for Glory 3 Wages of War or you might just be looking for a fun time waster and this is it If you do not know how to play it comes with a little in game video with directions The only issue I had was I had to restart my iPad seemed that there wasn t enough memory to play the video to get the video to play But other than that it works great                     Great game Matthew110607
    I m usually not very good at games but I progressed from losing to the easy AI to beating the hard AI with 4 or 6 stones per pit in an hour or so I d love to have some tougher levels                 add another harder level diannepat
    When I want to play the game again or restart the game it freezes then I have to exit the game and start over as if to reopen the game would help alot if that can be fixed other than that I luv it                     Luv it but NonnieJ
    Enjoyed                 Enjoyed For Eyez
