Pros and cons of Checkers: FS5 app for iPhone and iPad

Checkers: FS5 app good for

wifi, online, 2 player, and aim checkers though i dont have aim i guess thats useful, overall awesome!
I tried all of the checkers games and this is definitely the best one in app store like description says.
First off this checkers app rocks. They need to charge 3 bucks for this. The only other checkers app that has wifi is three bucks. Good job guys. Because of your better price more people will pick this up :D
FS5 has done a great job with checkers. I am away from my 7 year old son a lot, but with this we are able to play checkers online together. What a good way for bonding. I am really grateful FS5 makes multiplayer games this way. My only suggestion would be to make it easier to find a specific person to play online. Sometimes when Im trying to play my son, we have to try a few times, as it matches me with other people. Still, great game for this purpose, thanks for making it available!
Please update and add some higher difficulty settings. Why does this only go up to intermediate? Updated review*** The online play is the best part. But is there any way to penalize players for forfeiting games? Players will continuously quit when they are losing and have inflated ratings. Players should be penalized points for forfeiting games. That would be a perfect update!!!
This game is pretty fun I played it with my friends Im a master at this game!!!!!:)

Some bad moments

Just like the free version which I upgraded in app and paid for AGAIN here this buggy app has crash issues making all the fun of winning not worth the money or aggravation
Internet playing no longer works. You keep getting the general Internet player (1984) opponent from company server
