    Developer Response

    Hi, Bob. Sorry you didn't have a great experience purchasing Chess42. Chess42 doesn't require (or offer) a subscription to use the app; it's a one-time purchase. However, if you're unhappy with your purchase, please contact Apple for a refund as described here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084 Best regards.

  • Requires 2 purchases

    Be aware that your friend also needs to purchase this app for it to work! This should really be clearly laid out upfront. I’m going to ask for a refund as a result.
