The game is experiencing a significant number of mistouches, which has resI’ve been encountering quite a few mistouches in the game lately, and it’s become a bit frustrating. 😩 I’d estimate these accidental inputs have cost me around four or five matches so far. It’s disheartening to lose games due to something like this. I’m […]

love this app. one thing that would be really cool is to have a two-player feature where you have one phone or tablet between two people and they play on the same device, bringing the digital experience that little bit closer to playing on a real board. the tricky bit would be making the pieces […]

This is a well made game ruined by players. Lately, the majority of games I’ve played end up with my opponent abandoning the game the moment they realize they are in a losing position. I don’t mean resigning, I mean either just leaving the game resulting in the abandon timer running down, or in the […]

I am on an Android phone playing chess for fun a lot, and It’s great with only a few problems. First, I can’t play all the variants (only Chess960), meaning I can’t get that many achievements. Second is overall lagginess, but that might be just my phone.

great app. I just hate the change they made that makes that awful annoying sound when the king is in check and you touch any other piece. I like having sounds enabled in the game but not that annoying fart sound with the king in check. please let us disable that. just a flashing red […]

I want to report that your abandon rules are terrible. I play chess on my phone and in the middle of the game (just after I lost a piece so I was down only 3 points) I got a text. I took less than a minute to respond to them and come back and I […]

Just 1 star to highlight some key issues that should have been solved already. 1. Bot games are not automatically saved 2. If you review the game and then save it afterwards, you can not review it again on the more advanced analysis, but if you save and then review you can. This makes the […]

Great for learning but when playing bots it would better (in my opinion) if you could do take back on the last move rather than it ending the game completely so you can learn from your mistake and replay it so you can try a different move, I’m very new to chess and often end […]

What happened to game reviews?! The new version is awful. Absolutely horrible experience, and it’s so jarring to use it now. Wish I could install the old version. Smh. Puzzles are also still really buggy and often freeze (every 3-4 puzzles). I do puzzles way more than games, so it’s a huge issue for me. […]

I’ve been doing the puzzles for several years. Most are very good. But the scoring has gotten ridiculous lately… what changed? When I get a difficult puzzle correct, I get +5 points.. ok.. fine.. but when I miss a similar difficult puzzle (multiple trade moves… multiple moves to consider) I get negative 20 points! I’m […]

(3/5) July 9, 2025

Too much in the web version is broken here. There’s no coach voices, no coach commentary on puzzles, and no way to save analyses on the analysis board. When you review a game with the coach, it tells you about all your missed opportunities were, but doesn’t actually show them to you like it does […]

(5/5) June 26, 2025

This is a very fun game and a well made app. The only disappointing thing from my perspective is that I haven’t won a game yet, as other players forfeit when I have them boxed in. I’ve lost the majority of games that I’ve played, and I genuinely don’t mind (im still learning to play). […]

Easily the premier way to play chess online, and the mobile version is no different. Smooth controls, tons of gamemodes, support for the biggest events and players, it has it all. The premium version is not fully necessary but it feels worth the price. No matter the level, this is the place to play chess.

The game will force abandon you if you don’t play fast enough to it’s liking. I still had 2 minutes left on a 3|2 game. This is not the first time either. As a fellow dev, wow. I hope it was AI generated or something because I never said anything about crashing. It does it […]

(1/5) September 22, 2025

Great app but the “draw” results are ridiculous. People often, too often, simply stall when time is running out which forces the game to end as a draw. So unless you’re playing one of the quickest modes (1,3mins) you will run into this issue. The quickest fix is the lengthen the draw calculations so people […]

I’ll love it more, if it was completely free. in the newer update i am facing some sound glitches on moves. Another problem is that, the mobile app version don’t have chaturanga, kings of hills, four-player chess… And also, my friend got achievement for these game for playing but I don’t get any even though […]

The subscriptions are too expensive. Otherwise great app! (I’m trying the $11 subscription since I really wanted unlimited game reviews. I still think all subscription prices are too expensive for what you get, but I bumped up the review to 4 stars since I can’t deny how great the experience is. 5 stars if and […]

This app is incredibly easy to use and it’s super simple to play a quick game and connect with people. I also enjoy how well monitored the app is, so if people are misusing it it gets taken care of. I would appreciate if they had more free perks instead of needing a premium membership, […]

(4/5) August 16, 2025

Tactics are easier than they used to be, with a difficulty option being added and removed for seemingly no reason. Also buggy. Edit: They re-added the difficulty option. Bumping it to 4 stars for now, premium options are still overpriced and the engine (computer analysis) is laughable compared to it’s competitors such as lichess, which […]

Hello, I have a feature request for the app that I think would be very helpful. Please add a “history” or “review” feature for games played against bots and real players, including when using the bot coach. Yesterday, I got a “Brilliant” move, but I had already used up my free reviews for the day. […]
