I really like this app. I got all my chess fix on this app. Dont think I move any where else. The only thing I disliked when I was considering premium during the free trial. it felt like they were giving me weaker opponents during the trial. vs not being a member I was getting more challenging opponents. i choose the challenging opponents.

Checkmate!
more lessI’ve been using this Chess app for about three or four years. It has a lot of additional features like tactics puzzles, videos, and preset predicaments to challenge you and help you set up future moves to create the best situation for your pieces. There is also a play-by-play review of your games which critiques your moves and tells you what you could’ve done better. A couple things that need improvement though. Often the app will fail to notify me when it’s my turn after my opponent has moved, requiring me to open the app and navigate to my active games to manually check if it is my turn. The other issue is that sometimes I will try to start a new game with a friend with the “Play A Friend” option and the app opens the “active connection countdown” when I’m not trying to play a live game. I’m sure there is a way to create a new game with a friend without creating an active challenge, but I am not sure how. If this feature exists, it just needs to be integrated in an easy to find menu. (This review is based on my use from a Samsung Galaxy S5). EDIT: I have an iPhone X now and I am able to successfully use the “Play A Friend” option to create a daily game without the app opening the “Active Connection Countdown” so the issue I stated previously may already be resolved.

It's a really fun way to play chess. There seems to always be more features and such. my one complaint is that there is sometimes challenges that I send to my friends (or they send to me) that the receiving end does not receive.

Lots of features but not able to give feedback
more lessHi there, been playing on the app for about a month and started to really like it so looked at the memberships and there’s 3 levels ... $30, $50, and $80 (I believe) for a year, provided you pay upfront and not month by month. I was like ok I get it... there’s lots of features so you have to pay for more of them. Well that’s all good, I get that. My main issue is with the puzzles that sometimes the “opponent” player doesn’t make the best move so you can’t actually solve the puzzle correctly unless you guess they will do the wrong thing. Solved a puzzle today and I would’ve gotten it right however the opponent made the worse move of their two moves and thereby I made the wrong move because I predicted the opponent would obviously make the best move. Please creators/admins fix this issue. It’s really not the way the puzzles should function. If you fix this I will gladly change my rating to 5 stars since that’s my main issues. Also I couldn’t find anywhere in the app to report this. But secondly to advertise their “videos” to watch to learn and improve in a notification or have it ever present on the main menu is really annoying when you can’t even watch the whole video because you don’t have the most expensive membership. I don’t like that. Just an annoying paywall situation where I already paid for the app.

BEST CHESS EVER!!!!
more lessI had started playing chess around three years ago, but stopped playing after a while because me sister wouldn’t have time for it anymore. I also didn’t know all the weird stuff or the stuff that is secluded, like castling, stalemate and the difference between check and checkmate. And so I gave up on chess. But three years later, in 7th grade we had a chess tournament in our contest math class. I was very unpleased and upset to have found out that I lost in the second round! I watched the finals match, and watched one of my good friends get bashed and checkmated in around five to six maybe seven minutes. At that moment, I wanted to be like that guy who defeated my friend so badly. So I started forcing my sister to play chess with me. But however at one point she got tired of it. So then I had to find a good chess app or website to play on. After lots of asking people what the best chess apps are, I finally got this one!!! And I must say I love it! There is however, a minor issue. I found out there is now multiplayer! The other player must have an account and you have to invite them. Anyway, other than that, it’s all cool!!!

Many people know how to play chess but, 9 times out of 10, they won't have enough time for it. If you're looking for someone to practice with, you can always find willing partners online. This app also offers puzzles, online tutorials, tournaments, and plenty more.

While this is predominantly used to play online, the app also has a pass and play feature for when you want to go 1-on-1 with a friend or family member.

By far my most used app. I just wish we had some more board customization choices, and mainly a would love to see features from the full website integrated a bit more seamlessly. But if you're playing chess on your phone this app is literally your only option, nothing else is near as good. Keep it up team!

Social upgrade & Design simplification (NEEDED)
more lessI want to offer simple design improvements that would engage users to a whole other level. This is so far a chess app / website that allows you to just play chess but severely lacks an actual chess community to the degree in which I see its potential. We want to find professional players / engage and keep up with chess news. People don’t want to read articles that’s boring. When I go to a professional chess players page all I see is comment spam from random people and no actual comments or video updates from the chess player them self. It needs to have Facebook comment design prioritizing the users comments at the top and then the most like comments after. They should also be able to add photos that could be commented on and liked. Secondly there are SO MANY sections that are not grouped up accordingly. People love simplicity. There should be a (Play) (Learn) (Watch) (News). Instead, all the categories that should be located inside each drop box are scattered outside these categories and are extremely ugly and overwhelming. Besides that to somehow promote twitch engagement would be huge and lastly, getting borders for your advertisements would help you look like s more high quality website. I just love chess so much and this app. I want this app to be successful and the chess community to grow.

Good but a few problems
more lessI enjoyed this for the first couple of hours I had it installed. I made an account so I could access some of the features that you aren’t given off the bat. After spending a couple of hours playing against the computers, I got to one I had trouble beating. I decided I should look at some of the lessons that were recommended to me. After finishing the first lessons, I was about to start the next but was stopped because I had to pay to do more than one per day. I understand that the app is free and normal chess lessons aren’t, but I wish you could have more lessons per day. I ran into the trouble of taking one lesson and then trying against the computer, only to fail again. So I would then wait a day to start the next lesson, only to realize I didn’t remember anything I was taught from the previous lesson, and I wasn’t improving. My suggestion is that the one per day increases to three per day. This would allow people to take multiple lessons in succession, and they could then practice what they learned from the lessons against a computer. Beside the one per day limit, I had fun and might install it again eventually.

I generally love this app but really annoying that I can't input conditional moves, especially when I pay for a membership.

Good chess app
more lessI really like this app and I enjoy how you can learn lessons from it , but I did notice one issue. It doesn’t properly format on the screen. What I mean by that is that while you can see most of the pieces, you can see the rook located on the far right side on some of the multiplayer options. The function where you play against a computer is perfectly fine. The issue is when you play against local players (the only one I’ve noticed to have issues with thus far). As mentioned previously you are not actually able to see the rook on the right side, you can see the bishop to the left of it by one square, just not the rook or the right most pawn directly in front of it by one row. In addition, you also can’t clearly see the timer to the right of it because it cuts off of the screen. Overall, I really enjoy this game aside from the few formatting issues stated above.

Great App!
more lessUPDATED REVIEW: Was having issues with the app before the latest update, but it’s working great now! Love the app, best way to play chess on a mobile platform bar none. Love the layout and it has all of the functions you’d look for in a chess app including the ability to look back through your previous moves and analyze entire games for move quality. My only issue is that I’m not receiving push notifications from the app anymore, so I have to manually check back for updates. Not ideal, but I’m sure this will be fixed soon. Will give 5 star as soon as this is fixed. OLD REVIEW: All I see is white, can’t log in or view my games in the app, I’m resigned to playing through the browser until this issue is fixed. I’d just got the app on my iPhone 7 and it was working great. Seems like it’s just a comparability issues. Will update my review when it’s fixed.

Mostly good but one annoying glitch
more lessThe abandonment feature frequently forfeits games just because you access another app on your phone. This just happened to me with less than 20 seconds away from the game. It’s really frustrating when you are winning a game and you pause a movie only to come back and find the game forfeited. Fix this glitch and it would be a 5 star review. Really abandonment is a bad feature in a timed game. The rules of the game allow a player the entire time on the clock. Sure, it’s a jerk move to walk away from a game and make your opponent wait it out, but ratings shouldn’t change because of lost connections. Edit: the abandonment feature has a bug. It frequently forfeits games instantly just because I check a text or email. I’m almost always playing long time format games. I almost exclusively play 15/10. I see several other reviews with the same complaint. Fix the bug. Make the rules clearly defined. At the very least there should be a set amount of time that triggers the abandonment feature and it should be easy to look up what this time is. Currently checking a text will instantly trigger abandonment. That definitely is not the way the app should work.

The ads are too common placed and are boring. The app nags you to get premium. Sure, the features premium give are great, but Lichess gives nearly all of the premium features for free. The only redeeming feature of this app is all of the training that you can do with it.

Need fixes and updates
more lessSometimes the app kicks me out telling me I can't connect but I have a really good internet connection, or sometimes when I log it times me out as well they need to fix those issues, for the updates I my self in a team can not access the team posts and matches stats us VS other teams unless if our team post something that way I get access to the team posts and I go throw some times I would like to see how our team doing in the leagues and have to wait for that post to do so, you could just add on the menu "team posts" or something that will lead us to the team forum for those 3 reasons I'm giving a single star till the update occurs and those issues fixed I will change it based on that. Edit: the app has come along with many improvements and features, it has been running very smoothly, would love them to add “the conditional moves” to the app and as well as our matches vs. “xxxx” to show the match tournament team we playing against, and access it to check the team scores.

it’s okay to invest some time into it for the money asked for
more lessthe app hasn’t had any advanced fewtures for a long time. compared to the web version this Is very poor. would really appreciate showing the best moves on the board in analysis with arrows similar to the one on the web. I don’t think this feature is hard to add, it doesn’t need more that 2 days of work. plus I don’t understand the feature in the analysis where if I play different moves, the alternate games are inserted inside the same log. its impossible to read or to find where I am or was. SPECIALLY when I press on the wrong tiny font by mistake. and why would you even have the ‘pressable’ log and the forward and back buttons so close to eachother. there is always a missclick and the experience becomes very bad. being the most known chess app i’m sure you can put some effort and do something better honestly. retry button next to ‘next’ button in puzzles, very smart, and noway to go back. the puzzles goes to jupiter and i’ll never get to analyze it

Hey, chess-lovers! This new version addresses a couple of recent bugs, including one that sometimes hides Players League info in the post-game results. The situation is much improved, and we're continuing to work on a few remaining cases. (Please note: Your eligible wins are still earning trophies if you are in an active Division; the problem is just with the game-over display.)
If you enjoy this new version, please consider giving it a fresh five-star rating or review in the App Store. Your positive impressions and feedback really help! Thank you - and enjoy your chess!
Welcome to the Players League! With this new version, you'll be able to earn trophies by winning games in a division of 50 players at your skill level. Rise toward the top by the end of the week, and you advance to the next level - on your way to becoming a Legend! The best part: You don't have to do anything special to compete. Earn trophies simply by playing regular games, as usual!
(Competition within your division is based solely on games won during the week. A game must be Rated and real time to be awarded trophies. Daily games do not qualify.)
Good luck, player!
This update also fixes a number of bugs, including a blank calendar encountered by iPad owners in the Daily Puzzle.
We hope you love this new version! If so, please consider giving it a fresh 5-star rating or review in the App Store. It helps us a lot! Thank you - and enjoy your chess!

Hey, chess-fans! This new version makes it so much easier to play with your friends - and more fun to play by yourself too!
- Check out the new and improved Friends feature to discover new ways to invite your friends to play! (You may discover you have more friends playing chess than you realized!)
- Connect your Facebook account to find friends and family members to play - or invite people from your Contacts!
- If your friends aren't quite as good as you, don't worry: You can now challenge them to a balanced game by offering material odds! (In these games, the stronger player has fewer pawns or pieces at the beginning.) You can choose how big an advantage to give - or let the app "auto-balance" the game based on the players' ratings.
- Are you a fan of The Queen's Gambit? See how you fare vs seven new Bots based on main character Beth Harmon, as she evolves from a gifted beginner to a true chess virtuoso!
- And we've also fixed some crashes and minor bugs along the way.
