Ratings and Reviews
Prone to CRASHES
For years I have enjoyed playing chess using Deep Green but over that time it has become prone to crash. Often it will crash in the midst of a game but it can be restarted and resumes back where it was. But there are time when it crashes in the midst of an intense contest and restarting the application avails nothing; the board will flash back and immediately crash again. Fortunately, I have actually been able to capture the fatal board setups with a very quick screen shot to later continue on a more competent platform. I would consider this a fatal flaw for Deep Green especially considering that the last time this app was updated was at least 7 years ago at the time of this review; obsolete. Ostensibly the developers have become complacent.
Is the new design permanent?
The main reason I bought this game was the gorgeous design, and the new design just look like a generic life-less chess app :(
The old icon is also 10x nicer than the new one…
Is there any chance of making the old green-classic them & app icon be an option? I am currently holding back from updating the app 😬😬
Thank you!!
Major UI Change READ BEFORE UPDATING
This chess app is top notch—always has been. No other app is as enjoyable to use. BUT! This new update is a major change to the wooden board and pieces. It is no longer the green felt and classic wood. Look at the new version previews and make sure you’re ok with that before you update. The classic wood board is not an option. I wish it was. Also, the Steampunk engine’s gears no longer make noise. I miss both that and the old wood board.
