Arimaa Trainer

Arimaa is an awesome board game, and the app is good, but it could be improved with some quick updates: 1) Add a feature to let players toggle moves turn-by-turn to study games and see where they went wrong. 2) Add a board editor for specific positions 3) Allow for multiple games to be saved

I spoke with the creator when I was trying to code this game in engine001...This is no small feat to have this as co-op and solo game. I like the option not to have to keep flipping the phone back-and-forth. To be fair I have to take a look farther to see how well this runs but I’m thrilled to have a two player version of this on the iPhone.

Pretty glitchy. Often kills games for no reason. No option to review a game right after it’s completed (instead of letting you see the movelist, the app freezes up and forced you to close it as soon as either player scores goal). The normal bot is really susceptible to throwing away its camel on turn 4 or so. No option for human to play as silver? The bot, upon sensing that the human has a goal in 1, will just start suiciding pieces for no reason, instead of trying to hang on. (Once or twice i only won because the bot suicided its elephant, letting me know that I’d overlooked a goal somewhere).

When it is two player, i dont like the replay of moves. I can already see them well upside down. Make a option for no replay between turns. Thanks

I absolutely love this game, it is a reinvention of chess that is very creative, strategic and fun. I keep trying to teach anyone I can how to play, and the app is a great way to start--highly recommend!! Much more fun and engaging than chess.

Unable to complete a game without a crash that loses the state of the game. Responsive customer support said they're looking into it. (Didn't want to use this feedback to post the bug but they requested I did) Rating is tentative...waiting for the bug to be fixed.

After installing the Oct. 28, 2013, update the Menu button is now accessible on an iPad mini running iOS 7. If you are looking for the video tutorial, it can be found by clicking the onscreen link in the Rules section.

...and no fun to play.

The author released it and them abandoned it. It could be great, but bugs and a slightly unfriendly interface keep it from more stars. Just one update and it could be a 5 star app.

I love this application. It is a great way to learn Arimaa which is difficult because there is a small player base. I have not found any bugs but have not played more than a few games so far. I do wish it support iPad as a universal app. By that, I'd like a full size and landscape screen. Maybe hints and/or rules explanation when I try an unallowed move, too. I think the price is fair, but a lower price might encourage more people to get into the game. I did use the Lite version first.
