Mancala. for Negative User Reviews
✓ No multiplayerYou can only play against a computer. So lame..Version: 2.8
✓ Incorrect RulesThe app does not even follow the most basic of the rules - only put seeds in your own store, not your opponent’s store. There’s no “help” button or way to report this. The bug is even one sided as your AI opponent will not deposit seeds in your store even as you are forced to deposit seeds in theirs. Aside from that, this game becomes repetitive soon as you must pay to get to any higher difficulty level. I’ll be moving on to other apps.Version: 4.9
✓ Good I am not paying money!The game is good but there should be a choice of different levels and there should also be a 2 player mode..Version: 2.8
✓ What are the rulesThe rules section points to a Wikipedia generic page. There is no explanation of capture, for example....Version: 3.1
✓ What are the rules of play?I’m trying to play this game, but all kinds of things happen whilst I’m playing. I get a free play: why? I run out of moves: how many moves do I get? Occasionally, I get a “capture”: what is this? What is the object of the game? I’ve been recommended this game, but it just annoys me at the moment. It would be so much easier if I could see the rules..Version: 3.5
✓ ArrowsLove the game but I don’t like the arrows flashing at each move..Version: 3.0
✓ It’s confusingThere’s no rules on how to play so you’re left to work it out on your own. Didn’t enjoy it..Version: 3.7
✓ TerribleDon't download. This has no difficulty adjustment or 2 player. Too easy and not fun.Version: 2.5
✓ I can’t lose!I’m trying to lose but the game is set so easy you can’t lose unless you pay for harder levels. Shame..Version: 5.0
✓ Fun to play but.Fun to play but I feel it is unfair sometimes and the game cheats! This is not good leadership skill for children to see when they play this game at least make the age higher up like 18 and older! But I think you must teach kids at young age that life is unfair, and mancala is addicting I am actually addicted I remember playing it in the hospital with my sister but they lost all the marble pieces literally!! And we had to find random pieces to replace them with they kept falling out and stuff they were too big! and I do not think it was as fun but I make do. This game still had marbles pieces and I didn’t not have to replace them with stupid small plastic animals like giraffes and elephant and monkey so I give it a three stars review ok hope feelins are not hurt that is not my intention what so ever. This app is still better than others on the App Store like that mancala and friends so big props to that ..Version: 2.8
✓ Nice and easy - too easyWorks like a dream, no bugs, no ads. User-friendly, attractive and mostly fun but just too easy. AI makes no attempt to beat you. I've played every day for the last 2 weeks and only lost 2 games out of carelessness. Apparently you have to purchase the upgrade to get harder levels but I refuse to pay for anything so I'd rather just delete it and find a more challenging alternative. Kids might like it..Version: 1.2
✓ Dev should check the gameStill learning this game but it seems to me that the computer gets some second and even third moves when it really shouldn’t have. for instance the ball just falls in a random hole (not a side hole) and then the computer gets a second move. maybe i am wrong (they are no instructions to say otherwise) but I don’t see my side getting that same opportunity..Version: 4.4
✓ Multiplayer?Good game but I want to play multiplayer rather than the easy computer.Version: 1.1
✓ MancalaI love Mancala and I am glad that I can play it easily on an app like this. However, there are a few things that I wish were changed or updated. First, the single player modes are too limited. The AI has a very predictable pattern, and there is only one level open to users who didn’t pay. If at least a few more levels become available, users may not only be more attracted to the game, but also be convinced that spending money on this game could be worth it. Right now, I am not interested in spending money on this app because I’m not sure if the payed-version-AI will be significantly different. Second, there is no other method to gain diamonds other than spending real money. In most games, there are other methods to gain game money other than spending actual money, such as watching ads, completing tasks, etc., which are some things I was expecting to see. I am not good at Mancala so sometimes I just need to spend diamonds to get hints when solving puzzles, but after I spent them on 2-3 hints I was stuck at a certain level because I ran out. I’m new to this app so I don’t want to spend money on it already. I think that it is important for a game to keep the users engaged until they start to really get into it and consider spending money on it. These are personal opinions so idk if a lot of people will agree on them, but I thought that it may be helpful if I write an honest review from a newbie’s pov. The game itself is well organized the gameplay is enjoyable!.Version: 5.0
✓ Seed countWhere did the numbers indicating the number of seeds in a space go? It’s hard to count them..Version: 4.5
✓ Too easyThis game is super easy which makes it ok but not as good as real life.😕🙂😐.Version: 2.8
✓ Need to pay for multiplayerUnless you plan on only playing by yourself, find another mancala app..Version: 1.5
✓ Mancala is a great game - this is okay.I love mancala. It’s brilliant. Wanted a more portable version after getting addicted on my Switch via 51 all time classics. This is a solid game, but as soon as I paid for the full version every completed game rewards me with an advert for another game. Didn’t happen for those first games to fool me. Just soulless. Just another reminder why iOS outside of Apple Arcade is just a nickel and dime depression..Version: 3.2
✓ InterestingHaven't worked it out yet, but having fun trying to understand the rules. So far, I have won one. When I learn to win, it will lose its appeal I guess..Version: 1.7
✓ No rules or how to playLooked for rules sent to internet Wikipedia.Version: 3.0
✓ No Full Screen; No Volume Control; No Pass Option; Paid Version AdvertisingDisappointing to find that there is no way to focus / zoom on the game board to take up the entire screen (hiding the buttons such as undo). Seriously… no volume control? Either off (silent) or on (max volume) is your choice. Land in your Mancala, my entire life it was the player’s choice to go again or pass. This game forces you to go again. I paid to unlock 2 player gaming and I still have ads for other games being presented to me. I don’t recommend based on these reasons. Perhaps I can get a refund and find a version of this game that isn’t so bad..Version: 4.9
✓ MehThe game is fun and I really like it, but the app doesn’t have a section for info. Why do I have to PAY for diamonds. There is no way to earn them by playing certain games. They start you out with a certain amount of diamonds and once you use them you have to literally PAY for more. I’m working on the Mancala puzzles and some of them seem 100% unsolvable and the only way to pass them is with a hint, which you need diamonds for……that you have to BUY!.Version: 4.6
✓ Do NOT buy diamondsSo this game is great, unless you decide to buy diamonds to get past a peg solitaire that you can’t seem to solve. When you hit the button to condense the pegs, it doesn’t put them next to each other. It just uses up your diamonds every time you hit the button to consolidate the pegs, and doesn’t allow you to actually have any more moves. In addition, The minimum number of diamonds you can buy the first time is 90, for $2.99. But after you buy those, you can suddenly buy 50 for $1.99. TOTAL RIP-OFF.Version: 4.1
✓ OkayThis game is fairly good as it is easy to play and has no in-app purchases. However there is a full version which costs money. Also you can only go against the app not a friend and it is too easy. Recommend it for beginners.😀.Version: 1.7
✓ Great game but...I bought the pro version thinking it would b a challenge to win harder levels or with more /less pieces, but no. When I play and the realise I have left a chance to loose lts of pieces, nothing happens. The 'other player (=pc)' is sillier than me so my rate of wins is really high even at the hardest level! Not good at all!.Version: 1.8
✓ No clear rulesIt’s a nice app, works perfectly; but when you click on the ‘rules’ button it takes to Wikipedia page for Mancala. The page covers the history of the game and lists different possible variants. So I don’t know exactly which rules the app uses. It wouldn’t have taken them long to write down the rules and include them in the app; but they didn’t bother to do that..Version: 3.2
✓ Dumb AIThe AI is way too easy to beat, no fun but I have a second star because the puzzles are okay. Give a free option for harder AI!!!.Version: 4.3
✓ No multi playerNo multi player and there is only one version of Mancala available to play.Version: 2.8
✓ One thingOnly one thing I would change and that would be if you could go first instead of the game everytime.Version: 1.1
✓ Me Mancala bla grossIt’s a really boring game and there is no point to it at all.Version: 4.0
✓ The sound does not work???????I love a good old game of Mancala and wanting to play with some friends. Why is the sound not working?!?!?!?!? I don’t feel indulged to play the game without any sounds. Please fix..Version: 4.5
✓ This game is greatIt’s great I love it. It’s very gay.Version: 4.6
✓ DisappointingI used to play this game a lot and loved the different levels. Ive just rediscovered the app again, but find now to play harder levels you have to pay. Very disappointing..Version: 5.0
✓ Mancala freezeA great game to teach yourself with. Hint option speeds up learning tactics. I would highly recommend but on my iPad it asks if I want to "review the game", then freezes - have to delete the app, reload and start again. I get 2 or 3 games until it does it again. Would have given 5 stars but can't possibly. shame..Version: 1.4
✓ Fun but has issuesGreat games but some of the side games (peg solitaire) has an issue with the collapse button. Level 79 when 2 pegs are left, the collapse button puts them in a spot where you still can’t do anything. Tried 3 times consecutively and the pegs never moved. This level is impossible without AI help. With AI help, it is no different. Should be able to earn gems so this would not cost money to buy gems that do not help. I will not be “donating” any more money. Fun if you keep it free..Version: 4.1
✓ Please please please read this review❤️I really like this game. But there are few issues. If you were to play Mancala in real life instead of in the game. You would be able to do more things. In the game, if you weren’t going to take the pieces from the ditch across from your ditch, you wouldn’t have a choice in this game. I still like playing it in real life better..Version: 4.5
✓ Too easyIt's way too easy , i played over one hundred games and didn't lose once.Version: 2.8
✓ Good but not very fairI really enjoy this game. It is very relaxing and the puzzles can be challenging! The issue I have is the hint. I don't usually use the hint because that kind of takes away from the fun of the game. That being said, I've come across a couple of the puzzles that I just couldn't figure out so I used the hint. That's ok but even when I know how to get a puzzle started and I KNOW I am doing the moves in the right order the hint goes dark saying that I can't use it because I'm out of sequence. Basically you use the hint for every move of a puzzle or you can't use it at all. That's ridiculous! It's just a way to get me to buy more gems. I don't like to be manipulated like that and it's a cheap trick!.Version: 4.2
