I stopped after first game. It makes up their own boxes when it's clearly needed 2 lines to make a box. It proceeds to fill in the boxes. You can't win with this app.
★★☆☆☆ Dave Williamson · Jul 23, 2023
Inimstalling during first game. Even tho settings are on slow speed and easy...unable to follow where computer drew a line. The newest line drawn should be a totally different color than the players' lines until the next move is completed. Maybe will try later if this bug is addressed
