Perfect. No add. Simple to set. I use it for Board Games like Santorini where I set a Game of 1:30minutes with reset BRONSTEIN of 1:30. This allow each player to have a move time of 1:30 minutes that is reset automatically. Would be better if the color of the timer could switch from Orange to RED for the player that finished the time. (the very best would be to get a Blink also when the time is close to a definable limit. Exam:when time is 00:07 start blinking until 00:00.

This Chess timer is really solid I prefer it's layout to most others on the app store. But it does lack one feature which I think is pretty key which is asymmetrical timers. I often play against less experienced players and like using asymmetrical timers to make play more balanced. Because of this I have to turn to other timers like the Magnus Chess Timer despite preferring this one. Other than that I think it's a great app and hope they'll add the few features it's missing to make it perfect

Clean and easy UI, but a few shortcomings. Serious : getting to settings is baffling alot of users since it is not intuitive. (I very much appreciate it, once I got that you must rotate screen to see settings cogwheel button.) Second, please add way to start with a handicap for one player, I e different amount of times for the two players.

This is the best app ever. I always play chess with my friends but the thing is we did not have the clock. My friends were taking to long to make the move, like 2 to 3 minutes but now they learn how to play fast. I just wanted to say this app will go viral and many people should download it thank you. JUST DOWNLOAD THE APP (CHESS CLOCK

I was hoping there would be an app for it and this is by far the best one as you can sit your phone parallel with the chess board and I had the best Thanksgiving playing with my niece. So satisfying about the entire ritual of seeing your clock start making your move then starting the timer on your opponent. the colors are great there are countless timing options and completely customizable ones for rapid chest or for teaching and the audible click and smooth response are most satisfying. 5+

You can create presets which can be set to any time and any type of timer. You can pause and reset the timer at any time. You tap the opponent's side to start and then tap the orange block once you've finished your go. Everything you need in a chess timer with no ads whatsoever.

I think u must fix the stage time. "There is a single time control for all major FIDE events: 90 minutes for the first 40 moves followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game with an addition of 30 seconds per move starting from move one." The problem with your app is, after 40 moves, 1hr30min(90min) is not changing to 30minutes. Instead, it add 30minutes to previous time. I dont think it should worked that way. Please fix this.

Great app!! I like everything about it. I just wish, as some others have mentioned that you could set up handicapped time controls. You can set it manually, but being able to save a handicapped control would be super convenient.

Phr. Apr 4, 2022     

Simple and great app, although I would like to see a feature where you can set one time control for one side and the different time control for the other side.

With no updates in 6 years, this is almost certainly an abandoned project - but it's completely free, requires ZERO permissions, runs on Android 11, and works WELL. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

This app, meets the needs,, good enough. Just one thing. When I am playing chess and listening to musics with headphone, the "click" sound of this app, comes out of the headphone, I thought maybe you could code something that changes this and seperates the sound, if possible

Eri. M. Dec 13, 2018     

On my android phone, no sound plays when time runs out. That's why I rated only 4 stars. It would also be nice to have an option to play the turn sounds or not. Otherwise a clean and we'll designed app.

Poor and needs update. - Fullscreen doesnt work on Moto M8 Lite. Hence, always end up missing to touch the button especially on bullets. - How about adding a feature to adjust the size of the buttons? If only the above are addressed, it would be perfecf 5.

Hal. Aug 31, 2021     

Exceptional chess clock, simple and understandable. The only reason I rate 4 stars is because it doesnt allow for time odds, so playing armageddon or giving an inexperienced player more time isn't possible. Otherwise perfect!

I was thinking if there would be an app I can use when playing on my chessboard. I thought it had a fault when I launched it; but it turned out that I only had to make changes to the timing options. This is just perfect. Check it out.

The perfect chess clock. No ads, customisable to make any kind of timer you want and it's simple to use. Can't really think of any way to improve it to be honest.

Par. M. Mar 24, 2021     

Awesome app! But manual adjustment of clock is not available. For example, if one player needs 5 minutes and another needs 10 minutes, then this is not possible in this app.

Dul. B. Aug 6, 2021     

The time have some issues... I tried on custom... I added 30 minutes ... Everything is fine at first... But after 2nd or 3rd click, the time of both side increases... When i tried for 6 to 7 times, both of us got 35 minutes and some random seconds... Please analyze it properly and get it fixed... Thank you.

A. G. u. Mar 4, 2019     

terrible, spent all of 30 seconds with the app it's clunk, can't make your own it forces you to edit a list they provide. once I edited the times they didn't even fit numbers cut off by the screen and I couldn't return to the menus cause the button to do so had been covered up by the number and wouldn't let me leave.

It's a chess clock that works. The settings are a bit confusing as I was trying to set up different times for myself and my opponent, but couldn't figure it out.

Leo. K. Jun 9, 2021     

This is really nice, but it would be great if there are separate increment settings for each stage. Also, adding options for armageddon would be great.

Dav. V. Jun 10, 2020     

Works perfectly in Android 10, simple, no ads, no upgrade notifications. It keeps the display from going idle. I would only add more sound options.

Sae. Z. Feb 7, 2020     

This is a perfect app, but i have a problem, when i touch my time and hold it, my time not change to my opponent and still run! However, as soon as you touch, the time has to change. Please fix this issue. Thanks

B. B. Jan 3, 2021     

This app is great. I was able to set up a timer that allows each player e.g. 20 sec per turn without a game time limit. I'm not using it for chess.

par. a. Dec 26, 2021     

Obvs coding this app is totally simple, but it has still some problem when I went to have a bullet game, the timer isn't as good as a real timer, actually has some relay , but just in bullet games

Vai. K. Feb 28, 2019     

it is not showing settings button using the app for second and consecutive times. every time i need to reinstall the app to change settings. also time is getting displayed in two lines with three digits in first line and 4th digit in second line in both full screen and normal mode.

Mas. W. Jun 3, 2021     

Excellent. First time I've used a Digital Chess Clock. Tournament mode is all I'm using I've not updated it yet but it's working properly on a more recent version of Android than it was released for.

Thi. i. w. t. f. b. Mar 1, 2022     

Great app. Minor nitpick though, the clock paddle switch sound doesn't work consistently.

Ram. N. Nov 17, 2020     

It is good. But there is a lot to be improved in case of varying the time.Also, make a explanatory video or instructions for better understanding of the app usage and suggest new tips for better usage for chess beginners.Overall, the app is needed to be improved a lot.
