Bug fixes and optimizations.
Four in a Row Connect is the digital embodiment of the 'less is more' philosophy. While the App Store is flooded with flashy, ad-heavy clones of this childhood staple, this version stands out by focusing on a clean, distraction-free aesthetic that lets the strategy shine. The animations are buttery smooth, giving a satisfying tactile 'clink' as the discs settle into the grid.
What truly elevates this experience is the AI scaling. The 'Expert' mode actually feels intelligent, avoiding the obvious mistakes common in casual board game apps and forcing you to think three or four moves ahead. The local two-player mode is perfectly implemented for sharing a tablet during a flight or a commute. It’s a reliable, polished version of a timeless classic that belongs in any board game enthusiast's 'Casual' folder.
Single player and local 2-player modes
Multiple difficulty levels
Clean, modern graphics
Statistics tracking for your wins
A pro tip is to occupy the center column as much as possible. This gives you the most opportunities to build lines in all directions.
Practice against the AI on 'Easy' to learn the basics, then move up to 'Expert' where the computer will anticipate your moves several turns in advance.
Yes, you can choose from several different theme colors in the settings menu.
I wrote a previous comment, but I don’t see it.. Anyway i have no complaints in this game . Maybe the sound effects could be more realistic, there is alot of room for improvement regarding the soundtrack, i was looking for a more relaxed nature sounding tone, maybe give us options..
Over all this isn’t a bad game, I do not recommend for anyone under 18 years of age no, here is why. It’s not the game it’s self that I question. It’s all the adds, every add so far that I have seen is advertising about some game that is going to pay you BIG $$$. I am thinking the developers have a contract with all these games that “claim you will win BIG money by playing them” maybe so do pay, but from my experience nothing is free. I do realize that I can $9.99 to remove the adds. At this time, I find that price rather steep to pay for an app that only provides a bit of entertainment. As a parent, it would be nice to see adds more geared towards families, instead of casino type games that promise BIG money
This is a fun game when it works. I wish it had a timer on when the next person should move or they forfeit. Example, this has happened to me over 100 times, my opponent knows are about to lose so instead of making the final move and ending the game they close the game on there end, and then the game will forever be in a state of unfinished. I have over 100 opponents on their turn on the multi player menu because there is no timer. The game programmers know what I’m talking about. Lately I’ll have to cycle through the 89 seconds three times before I can get one opponent, and then they will not make a move. This has happened five days in a row so far. Shame, because it’s actually a lot of fun and I like the graphics when it works.
If you play everyday for three consecutive days, you'll get the 2nd checker set, and when you play for seven consecutive days, you'll then get the 3rd checker set. I've been able to get the 2nd set. But every time it acknowledges that I've played four days in a row, it never acknowledges that I've played any more consecutive days after that, even if I play several times a day for several days after that. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app twice, and it still only acknowledges that I've played four days in a row, and no more after that. So I can't get the 3rd set, because it has to acknowledge that you've played seven days in a row, but it won't do that. So it seems to me like that's a bug in the app.
It’s a great game with great graphics and very smooth. No bugs. After every round you get a 1 min ad which gets annoying after 3 or 4 games. To remove ads you have to pay $10 which seems a little pricy for such a simple game. Other than that, I like it a lot. The Hard difficulty is actually challenging which I appreciate.
This game is fun but the ads. Omg the ads. For starters it’s the same ad over and over and over then it switches and that ad repeats over and over. Also it pops up during a game if I get a the “low battery” notification or if my screen times out too quickly. I could adjust my settings but it’s just annoying. Too add the look of the game is very nice and the attention to detail is nice.
I am obsessed with this game to the max I will play it day in day out but the daily chip options don’t load correctly and it BUMMS ME OUT please I want to play at full compasity please please please fix this and much appreciated…will update review when game is fixed…
Fun game but ALL. THE. ADS!! After every round is a lengthy ad. My 5 year old loves this game but the ads are too long and you can’t click through then easily ~ if he’s playing by himself he’s constantly bringing me the phone or iPad asking for help. There are many other “connect 4’s” that don’t have all the ads and that’s the only reason I’m deleting your app.
