Checkers Free is an excellent adaption of the classic board game to a mobile environment. This app is the most popular checkers app available on the Android platform, and the game has been around for quite some time. Of course, this digital version is highly polished and won't ever fade. When combined with the fact that it is fully mobile, it is hard to beat.

The controls for the game are touch-based since the game is designed for mobile devices, so all you have to do when you want to move a piece is tap that piece and then tap the space to which you want it to move. An undo button prevents permanent mistakes.

You can play the game with either single or dual player options, so you can play against the computer or your friends who happen to be near by. The sound effects are stellar considering the game doesn't focus on sound at all, and you can customize the names of the players. You can allow or disallow forced captures by turning them on or off in the settings, and the game is automatically saved whenever the app is forced to close, like during a phone call.
