Chess - Play & Learn

App is great, with many options, tournaments and games of all types. One thing i would choose to improve is the waiting time when a player abandons the game. I have to wait his time to finish while is clear he abandoned the game. It can be very easily fixed, just asking the players who is not moving if he needs more time. If he doesn't reply means that he has closed the app and abandoned the game.

The app is yet kinda bugged. It doesn't show the same info you can find in the browser, with some empty screens (e.g. leagues), and sort of a not so fluid experience. Apart from that it is amazing for playing and studying, you can find excellent puzzles and teaching videos, and there are a lot of players so you (almost) always have an opponent of the same level

I really like the UI is very easy to use. But it seems that it had some connectivity issue, whenever I'm playing there's some interval where my connection became very laggy despite having a great connection. It really cost me a lot of time too, especially in blitz. It make me frustrated when im almost winning and then all of a sudden i lose because I ran out of time because of the lag. In case is just me please reach me out! (θ‿θ)

Feedback on new version: new look is very nice, specially the friends menu. New feature request: When I choose a game as unrated or rated, it is not shown when the match starts. While searching, it does show 'unrated'; however, nobody remembers this after the search. Lichess app shows rated game or not for the entire duration of the game. Request to add this feature. Thanks!

I loved the app. I would've given it 5 stars but I tried challenging my friend online and for some reason it kept saying that he was offline while we were texting via the same app...that's the only issue I had...hope the developers Fix that. otherwise...great game experience and very engaging ...the diamond membership offers one unlimited puzzles and lessons. thank you for such an amazing app

There is more and more glitches and bugs in this game and it seems like nobody is addressing them so I will be forced to switch if the team does not seriously fix the core functions of the app like app going into offline mode, engine lines not showing up on random games, random crashes... There are visual and GUI updates coming out all the time and yet the app's core functions still are not working correctly. It has been over a year and the issues just keep pilling up. Absolutely absurd!

Update--moving to one star. Dont blame user phones for your hacked software. Cheater hit zero 5 times today, somehow I lost. Orig: Decent overall, but need to fix bullet chess. Randomly adds time to some players. Just watched an opponent's clock go up 30 seconds! Don't know if it's an error and they've already played but their connection was slow or what, but when the clock hits zero and then magically they're still playing and have 30 seconds left...yeah that's not how it's supposed to work.

Very solid user experience. Lessons are helpful, puzzles are neat, and the look is sleek and simple. One thing I don't understand is why this app drinks your battery like a milkshake. It becomes especially apparent after two or three games, when the phone will heat up, the app will begin to drop frames, and you'll lose two or three percent in as many minutes. Not a deal breaker, but confusing for an app that seems like it shouldn't really tax your hardware.

Great app. Only complaint is that I can start a game unintentionally if I accidentally tap the wrong spot on the main menu screen. There should really be a confirmation required beforehand, because I hate knowing I've wasted someone's time. Edit 4/19/22: They fixed it! Added a confirmation to the "vs. random" option, which is a perfect solution. No complaints!

The best thing about it is that the only advertisement it has is from the app itself, which is very low frequent. I can play chess after 10 seconds of opening the app without being harassed by ads. The second thing which I judge interesting is that the opponent has always been roughly at the same level as me. As my level goes up, higher graded opponent is randomly chosen to play against me.

I don't really agree with giving just one lesson a week for the free plan, but the rest is very fair. Had both the free plan and a paid subscription for a while and I'd definitely recommend both. In puzzles that are taken from a real game it would be nice to be able to see the whole game by rewinding like you can on lichess. It's also a bit inconvenient that you can't see the opening variation and the game explorer on mobile like you can on a PC.

Reliable interface with multiple means of setting up games. Ability to customize experience, interactions with players and learn from past games. Free version is entirely functional without any hinderance to play. The community is large so sometimes players boost own ratings on longer games with computer assistance (external). App does not have cheat buster system like Dasher/ICC. Tournaments are good. Great casual experience.

Why arent i allowed to turn off sounds. No option to turn off the sounds at all. I looked in general setting which youd think it would be there. There isnt any audio settings so thats annoying and you have to buy almost everything that this game has to offer... id give a 3 star if it had sound cancelation buuuttttt its a 2 right now.

Removing a star due to lazy programming. Constantly offered free trials even though I'm not eligible for a free trial. That's a easy fix and quite a big bug to let through. It's just super annoying. Amazing app, it's great for playing and learning chess. Highest player count.

Don't play any games less than 5 minutes. The mobile app timer will run out on you faster than you realize, regardless of whether you're connected to wifi or on mobile data. Customer support is friendly and will restore your rating if you can provide adequate justification, but the only part of this app not worth it are the bullet and blitz games until the upload and download speeds for these formats are fixed. Everything else is great.

The analysis is very laggy and it sometimes doesn't show the Eval or simply doesn't analyse. Also when I don't open the app for some time and I had puzzle rush open it doesn't let me continue what I did previously and only shows me a blank chess board. But other than that it is a fairly good app. Desktop version is still preferred by me because it has more features and game modes but I hope they will add more and more stuff in the future

excellent app! particularly fond of the bots: there are a lot of them, at varying levels of difficulty, with different characteristic styles of play, and you can play with or without takebacks and hints. great way to improve your skills. highly recommended!

Hello Admin, there is a problem since last few days. After searching for opponent the chess board doesn't load. It's abruptly closed. I tried several times but unfortunately it won't works. Please identified the issues. It is the only best and systematic interface available on play store.

Good app to play and learn chess. Free versions gives you a few puzzles a day, lesson a week and some other stuff, but as far as I can tell you can play as much or as little as you want. Lessons are really good, I do wish I could revisit older ones without triggering the 1 lesson a week free limit Opportunity to join leagues and tournaments if you're into that. One flaw is challenging friends, your rating can become inflated, so when you play someone random you get matched to someone way better

Great app, great overall experience. Have a platinum membership and must say 10/10 if you're willing to pay the money. Had it for a year before I got the membership and I think the free version is still an 8/10. Two minor complaints 1. Is on PC I can very clearly see how many lessons I have left for the week yet on mobile i'm missing it ..2 I would like to look at past master games (other than the practice section) like you can on pc (Edit) you can see both on the website but the mobile app

You guys haven't fixed your connection problems. I complained the other time, still no improvement. Its actually worse now, I lose a game when I have a small network issue. Before, the game disconnects after 1min countdown of auto resign, but in this new app, it doesnt even need to get to zero for me to lose by abandonment. Its making me hate chess. I wonder if you guys are able to tell how often people use the app, cos y'all find out, I no longer use this messed up app cos of this problem.

Please add a setting to turn off ALL animations. Menus, in game / board, etc. For some people it is quite a problem. It would add to the accessibility of the app. The animations are AFAICS not necessary anywhere, although some may be perceived as clarifying, there are easy options.

Active manipulation takes place. I have recorded proof that clock gets tampered with during plays. Have experienced it many times, which I initially attributed to bad connection, but even with a very fast connection it still happens. Only explanation is manipulation, and opponents timer got increased multiple times in last 20 seconds. When I complained, my chat was muted for one day as "punishment for breaching rules".

This is a garbage app with terrible support and a staff willing to attach debt to you based on free trials. However it's a relatively accurate rating system without a ton of trashy players crowding up the rankings like a lot of other sites. Still if I could give it below one star I would.

Too bad I cant uplaod a screenshot. Players are free to stall the game whenever they feel sour on its results. Gameplay(ing) for les than 3 minutes while opponent stalls for 9:50 only to move last 10 secs, in hopes you'll give up and leave, is a common experience. A report option is available but it wont reverse the any time wasted. LIMIT TIME DURATION FOR EACH TURN!!!!

great platform. a bit hard to navigate and find things (articles, lessons, and other resources) but the basic functions work really well and i love the puzzles! have a go with the free trial to get access to all lessons

Nice platform to play different styles of the game. the report provides a deep insight on not only how good or bad our moves were, but also how better they can be at different stages in the course of game. The rate for premium is a bit high, and it would be great for Chess enthusiasts if the free Reports could be 3 per day instead of just one 😬

If you want to simply play chess for the sake of the game this is for you but if you're like me and want to play it with an actual person to talk to you're better off playing on vr chat chess or playing with friends or family or tornaments! Other then that the app doesn't have many bugs and I only have trouble when I'm trying to play with my brother but aside from that very good app
