Ratings and Reviews
Bugs
I can get banned for no reasons sometimes and I have to make new account
The best chess app, but ...
... the last update (6.2.0) sucks. The design is really bad. Hate it
Mostly good but too many bugs
I mostly like this app, and I’ve used it for a long time now. There are a lot of good features, and no adds. But the buggs are too much.
I play on Ipad, and for a while now there’s been this bug where the first match I play after opening the app, the clocks are completely gone. This was easy to work around as I could just abort the first game, and then it’d be fixed. But now they’re just completely gone. This makes it completely unplayable. Please fix this. I would love to change my rating to 5/5.
