SplitBoard keeps everything on your iPhone and makes no network connections, so we can never see your games. The answers below cover most questions. If yours is not here, write to us with your iPhone model, the iOS version, the game and the way the phone was folded, and what you expected to happen.
Frequently asked questions
How do we set up a game?
Pick a game on the Home screen, then open iPhone Duo flat on the table between you. The screen splits along the fold and each half turns to face its player.
Can we play with the phone standing up?
Yes. In laptop pose the scoreboard sits on the raised half and both players share the board on the half lying on the table.
We closed the phone in the middle of a match.
The match waits. The outer display says to open the phone to keep playing, and opening it puts you back where you were. You can also tap Continue here to keep playing on the outer display.
How do we play on an iPhone that does not fold?
The game uses one screen that you pass back and forth, with the far player's strip turned to face them.
Which games can we play?
Tic-tac-toe and Four in a Row. Dots and Boxes and Checkers, a computer opponent, and a How to play walkthrough with a practice game for each are being built for the first release.
Can I take back a move?
Yes. Undo is on each player's side of the board.
Can I tell the pieces apart without relying on color?
Yes. Each player's pieces have their own shape as well as a color, and board squares are labeled for VoiceOver.
