When I’m winning the other random players tend to sit till time run out and my screen will start loading for mins, and once I get out app and go back on, it tends to say I ran out of time and I would lose..This done happen to me more than several times since new update, that’s only thing so far I don’t like but thank you 🫡
Playing with friends, it’s great. CPU, terrible.

This is a great app for playing with friends online. That said, there could be some improvements made. The stats page is completely useless and inaccurate. If you’re playing the cpu, the game is definitely unbalanced. The game will be declared a draw if you corner the king or eliminate most of the cpu pieces almost immediately. But if you get cornered, the cpu gets endless moves to win the game and avoid a draw. The cpu is mind numbingly predictable. There are other issues but on the whole, it’s a pretty decent app to connect with friends and have a good time so I don’t want to beat the developers up too much; they prob have no budget and it’s free to us. The very rapid draw declaration when I’m winning the game is super annoying.
Flaws

I like to warm up playing a few puzzles. The puzzles have flaws but the solution option would let me advance. Some puzzles glitch when promoting pawns and some puzzles have invisible pieces that can appear and disappear during the solution. I have been stuck on #1063 because when I promote the pawn, the puzzle doesn’t recognize the move. I previously used my solution option on another flawed puzzle, so I cannot use the solution option to advance. Also the new menu does not allow me to read messages. I can see a message notification on a live game but unable to read messages from the menu
Not bad. Not good either.

After a recent upgrade in which they said improvements were made to make the app more competitive and enforce fair play, it took a turn for the worse. My points went from over 18,000 to 2,500. I used to win most of my games. All of the sudden I’m losing the majority of my games. Now it feels like I’m playing against a bot. Still hasn’t fixed its misunderstanding of chess rules when it comes to long castling. Your rook CAN pass through an attack!
