Chess With Friends Free

It keeps closing by itself so I have to uninstall and reinstall it just to play and I can't hear the game music.. three years later your app is still functioning like garbage, it's glitchy and to close and reopen the app to see when my opponent moves. The notifications does not open the app to the game you're being notified. I love chess and this still one of the better chess apps.

Game loads up then 20 seconds later it crashes . I have had this app for several years with little problems and now all of a sudden it starts acting crazy. I have installed this app at least 4 times and re- installed it with no change, it still crashes after about 20 seconds . UGH 😩

Ads are long and games freeze and lock you out somewhat regularly. They need to fix these issues. Otherwise, the app is great. I like that you can message your opponent and that there is a function that allows you to back up to previous positions. It's like an automatic score sheet and I think it's good stuff. Once the issues they need to resolve are fixed it will be a quality app, and it's really fun, but until then: 3 stars.

This app used to be good three years ago and now for the past year it does nothing but give you corrupted games that you can't complete after putting so much time into them. If the games aren't corrupted, they are frequently out of sync. I constantly have to restart my phone to reboot the game so I can make a move because it sends me the message that it is my turn and then when I go in the app it won't update the game. The ads are incessant and loud. The kicker is with all of the problems and glitches this app has, they expect you to pay $10 to get the ad free version! Good luck with that! I am finding a new chess app.

EDIT: The "Corrupted Game" has become UNBEARABLE. Game after game gets stuck and can't be completed. It didn't used to be this bad, but now it seems like 1 out of every 2 or 3 games gets stuck. With one friend, the last 4 games we've tried to play have become corrupted. Fun to play! There's ads, but they're not out if control. My friends and i are having a great time playing chess while we're all stuck at home.

The game is clear and controls work well. The app, however, is expensive and if you don't buy it you are treated to an ad after every single move. You gotta pay the bills as a developer I guess, but the other thing is the app keeps "corrupting" games. It says "out of sync, can't continue." The only solution is to quit the app completely, and try again, waiting for all the little spinning wheels to stop loading (loading ads I'm guessing), but that doesn't always solve the problem.

It is a good app, it gets better when is add free, my favorite feature is that it let's me export the notation of the game. It is glitchy though and often gets corrupted or out of sync games, and they are very annoying, I have to reinstall the app to fix that, also I wish it didn't expire the games after three days, I've been sick and come back to find that I resigned to all my games. Thank you for making it anyway.

The game itself is fun to play. The app itself is just littered with bugs (games constantly falling out of sync or crashing). The UI is cluttered and outdated as well. I only have it because several friends use it to play chess and apparently the apple version of the app is way more polished. UPDATE: none of these issues have been fixed. My last 4 games all became corrupted and weren't able to be played to completion afterwards. Extremely frustrating and there really is no excuse.

I'd LIKE to rate this higher, but it's full of bugs: 1. Slow loading in general. Sometimes you have to click the same button up to four times before the app responds. 2. Tells me it's my move, then won't load my opponent's last move, so it's NOT my move unless I close the app, wait a while, and open it again. 3. Games keep becoming "corrupted" in the middle of the match. I've seriously had this happen at least 3 times.

Free version takes too long to show opponents moves. Also, if I briefly leave the game to check a message or take a call, the game won't show my opponents move (even though they did move) when I return. It just keeps saying it's 'their' turn. Game play is fine when it does work, but I can't see myself paying for the full version if these issues will still be a problem.

This app used to be decent. Unplayable now. Interface not very responsive. Had trouble accessing my matches when it was my move, had to tap on them repeatedly for them to open, sometimes to no avail. I would have to just give up and come back to it later, very frustrating. Even worse, I had a match where I was just getting to midgame delete itself. I got a message when making my move that said "Match corrupted and cannot be continued fairly" and was no longer able to play. Absolutely awful

This app is terrible. You get an ad after every move you make and not just one you can back out of it literally forced you to look at it for about 10 seconds before you can move on. Games are able to be randomly corrupted and you have to start over. Let's not forget to mention how long every thing takes to load. it takes 2-4 min just to switch berween matches. I'm on a Galaxy S9 so I don't have a garbage phone in terms of processing power. This app is just terribly optimized and packed with ads.

Chess is an excellent game of course, but this app is an absolute mess of bugs propped up only the developer's name. Games randomly and frequently end in "corrupted" for no reason with no recovery. Sometimes it notifies me it's my turn when it's not; other times it won't let me make a move when it is my turn. Randomly changes the interface language for no discernable reason. The whole point of these apps is just to mine data of course, but they could at least make it functional.

I paid for the app and do enjoy playing chess online but this app is really glitchy. It hesitates or freezes up when I try to load games and a few times, games have been corrupted. The freezing and hesitation happen every time I try to play. It's very frustrating. If I hadn't already paid for this app (I thought the ads were slowing it down), I would probably have found a different one. I do like that when I click on a piece to move, all the move possibilities light up on the board.

Excellent app for playing chess online with friends or random opponents. I would give it 5 stars if they fixed the few bugs the game does have. It randomly tells you a game has become corrupted, even though it actually hasn't. You can not access this game for a few minutes, then suddenly it will reappear in the state it should be. I'm not sure if the game will actually end if you choose close game instead of just backing out of closing the app. I typically do one of these two so it doesn't close

It's really cool that you can play against your friends. At first I didn't like how long it takes for people to move, but over time I've learned to enjoy it. One solution is to pay multiple games at once. Ionly have it 3 stars due to the frequent glitches. The most frustrating glitch is when your game becomes corrupt and your unable to finish it. I had one game where my opponents next move would have been check mate, and then it became corrupt and we couldn't finish.

It's chess, with your friends - so that's great. It's pretty laggy and buggy though. - Notifications are spotty - when I get noticiations, they're in multiple languages. 8 had French today and I'm. pretty sure German the other day. - There's about a 30% chance if I look into one of my games it'll say it's "corrupted" and can't continue. Luckily if you leave the app and come back a few hours later it usually fixes itself.

I've experienced a number of bugs in the game play that need attention. 1. You'll start a game with a player but can't finish it because the game becomes corrupt. 2. There's a 5 minute delay between player moves which is very annoying. I do like playing against the challenge coach Chester. He really helps my style up gameplay but with a little work this app can be awesome

I like how you can play with as many opponents as you'd like, including multiple games with the same person. I have a close group of friends that I have turned into this app because it's one if the few that allows Android an iPhone cross play. I Would like to be able to have different camera angles because I like the traditional view as if I'm sitting down with somebody, but not end of the world. Also I don't like how it runs continuously in background. I aways have to close app bc battery.

The gameplay and features to look back on past moves are great, but the game regularly comes up with false errors that the game is corrupted. Sometimes the game actually crashes due to it really getting corrupted, which is incredibly frustrating. Also the notification messages often cycle through other languages than the language I've selected. In the same game, on the same day, I may have notifications in English, French, German, and Russian. The bug doesn't affect the gameplay at all.

Love it! Things that can be fixed: Games get corrupted often but it later recovers where we left off. Great design but the "menus" (where I tap the screen) needs multiple to many taps to get back into the gameboard. Update: This app has potential but there are too many bugs. A friend is seeing the same issues mentioned above and we cannot even complete a game.

It's a complete mess. Hasn't been updated on years, and is so slow as to be almost unplayable! In addition, it randomly gets corrupted, ending the games due to one player running out of time as they can't send their move. Zynga- if you aren't going to fix this for android, it should be REMOVED from the app store. It does not work on android 10 or above. I recommend Chess by Post, as you can actually play chess on it.

Trying to take back a turn makes the game go out of sync. For each player the game says it's the other player's turn. This happened to us several times. We randomly fixed it the first two times by screwing around. The third time we both tried clicking on a button that ended up being to rate Chess with Friends, then it took us both out of Chess with Friends, then when we went back into it it said our game was corruped and started it over from the beginning. This was all within our first game.

Nice features, good community, really easy to get some games going. Some quirks prevent five stars. For example, a game got out of sync over a month ago and I can’t delete it, so next game errors every time. Also, games do not always update. And I’d love to add a profile picture, but do not want to connect to Facebook. Otherwise, love it.

The app is flawed. You can be 20 or so moves in, maybe winning and corruption of the game happens. You can't continue with the game and the only option is to rematch. The support team suggest trying to resign the match but it counts against your ranking and doesn't work in any way. It's becoming very frustrating! I just hope they can fix it because this is one of the easiest ways to meet friends or new people and play chess.

One of the worst apps of any kind that I have ever experienced. Very buggy on android phones. I'll get notifications that an opponent moved but nothing changes in the app. I'll click to play a game and it's usually unresponsive. Games get corrupted and out of sync all the time. Piles of ads all the time. Disgraceful. Ridiculous. Don't download this stupid piece of garbage.
