Tried on both iOS 5.1.1 and 7.1.2. App crashes when I go into settings and try to change the board size. The board is ugly (looks like an ordinary checkerboard in drab color) and the pieces look ugly as rocks and fat as chips. On top of that you need to drag the pieces to the new spot rather than tap like on most board games on a touchscreen device. It's just unnatural to play. Seeing nothing but good reviews by others made me thought that I could overlook the aesthetics and look forward to good gameplay. However, the fact that I cannot change the board size because of constant crashes is a complete disappointment. Wasted $0.99!
