United StatesPrivacy Friendly Checkers is a strategy board game for two players. The objective of the game is to either capture all opposing game pieces by jumping over them or by creating a situation in which the opponent cannot make a move anymore due to being blocked.
Privacy Friendly Checkers features two game modes: one game mode allows playing versus a computer-controlled opponent and the second game mode is for two human-controlled players using the same device. The game board consists of 8x8 squares and each player starts with 12 game pieces. The white player begins and then both players alternate taking turns. Furthermore, color-highlighting is used to graphically emphasize which moves are allowed to be made and the interface displays which game pieces have already been captured so the game progress can be tracked more easily. Additionally, the app automatically saves the last game status so it is possible to resume a previously started game at a later time.
How does Privacy Friendly Checkers differ from other similar apps?
1) No permissions
Privacy Friendly Dame does not require any permissions.
2) No advertisement
Moreover, Privacy Friendly Dame completely relinquishes advertisement. Many other apps in the Google Play Store display advertisement and therefore might violate the users privacy, shorten battery life or use mobile data.

Simple checkers, works offline, e.g. on a plane flight
Did not work
Very neat interface. The AI doesn't allow for many mistakes, so you could use it to brush up your game.
I wish the AI was smarter. It's too easy to beat it.
I like that you fixed the icon, but I worked out how to beat the new AI in less than an hour, now I win every time 😉
As much as I want to support privacy friendly apps, without different difficulty settings you quickly become too strong for the current AI in this game. That really reduces the incentives for playing via this app. A big annoyance is that on my Pixel 2 the app looks broken in the launcher, with a weird Android logo instead of the checkers board as shown here. It does not impair the functionality though
