CONNECTIVITY ISSUES

Nice app except when I switch from a device using a different network or for some reason battery dies out(eg from phone to iPad or from computer to phone), I get a notification that I’ve lost owing to disconnection( within seconds) even in a winning position. Kindly give users the liberty to play a game on multiple devices without cutting alternative devices and give at least a minute before considering one player disconnected.

Developer Response ,

Hello! Please try deleting and reinstalling the app, as well as confirming that your internet or data connection is stable. If the latency continues, please write to us at support@chess.com, and we can offer assistance.

Update

Honestly I don’t know why all these new features were added the game was phenomenal without them. I really appreciated the ability to be able to 1v1 a local friend without an internet connection, but now you can only access that feature unless you’ve logged in, which you guessed it, requires an internet connection. In a way it defeats the purpose of it as it is the same as playing against a friend online.

The bots weren’t a necessary addition because tuning the difficulty was always fine on its own, these bots are just fancier way of that. Not to mention how slower the app processes with these new unnecessary features. Honestly I feel the older version was flawless and didn’t need the lame additions that are in the game now. I hope this is taken into consideration. This is my honest and sincere opinion.

Developer Response ,

Hello, the 1v1 local option (playing with a friend in real life) is called "Pass and Play" and it's found after tapping on "New game." With the new personality bots, you can practice playing against not only different difficulty levels but different playing styles. We appreciate your feedback on this though, and if you have suggestions for how the app could be better, please let us know!

This is a great game. Keep it up. Everything works perfectly. Unfortunately some of us can’t afford daily internet to maximize on the online option
