Ratings and Reviews
Love this app!
I've been a Chess player on and off for about 30 years or so. Ever so often I'll start playing again and then I'll leave it alone for a few years, but I always seem to come back. I happen to be looking in the App Store and I saw Play Magnus and figured "let me try that out." Well, I played so many games in less than 24 hours and I'm totally addicted now! The pieces are easy to see (sometimes these apps go overboard with graphics and stuff like that such as Battle Chess 3D that look pretty, but make it hard when you really just want to concentrate on the game). I like that you can play quite a few levels before having to upgrade if you want to upgrade it all( but I do want to!). I like the challenge, as this app reminds me very much of something Sierra online brought out called "Power Chess" back in 1998. With the influx of new computers and operating systems I can no longer play it(working it out on dos box though to see if I can get it to run again) so I'm very glad that I've discovered Magnus and I look forward to playing this app to the hilt! Thanks!

Hi Gigi, thanks for your nice review! We're happy to hear that you're enjoying the app :) - Janina from Play Magnus
Play Magnus. Carlson, AKA play best app ever.
This app in my opinion is amazing! I’ve always loved playing chess, but with a real person. My family was always looking for a chess app that I like, but I always don’t like it that much. Then my mom found the play Magnus Carlson app, It was like heaven. I’ve played it for 2 hours and more. It’s great for beginners, intermediate, and advanced chess players because you can play him at different ages. Every time you checkmate him if you want too you can move up. it teaches you a lot about chess. I’ve improved a lot. There’s also chess videos that give you a lot of tips. Some are free and some are not, but it’s worth it to purchase it. You also can learn about World Champion Magnus Carlson. I really think you should buy this app. Trust me it’s the best app EVER! I also have a note for the developers. You guys should add chess puzzles too. Your game would be even better!
Almost perfect
Ok yes I’m 15 so I’m young that also means I’m not the best at chess but my love for the games mean I lose a lot but I never give up it’s the best chess game I’ve found on the App Store but there is one small problem for the people who aren’t as good like me, the younger ages jump a lot in skill I’ve beaten age 9 before and I did pretty good I was up a rook, bishop, and 2 pawns so I won but once I got to ten it too me 40-50 matches even to make a close match so I don’t know if they are close matches I’ll keep trying but if I’m getting destroyed every time it’s hard to try over and over again but either way I’d say a 5 star game so I thank you game for everything it’s done
