good idea but bad execution

concept is good but it just gets boring knowing that every single player is a bot. i dont know if ive played a single player and the game looks pretty terrible.

App crashes

The app crashes every time you start a game. Either against 5e computer, or online. It lets you search, and crashes a soon as it finds an opponent and try’s to start the match.

Crashes

App keeps crashing. It makes you watch an add before every game then crashes before the game starts. Garbage

Hey! We'd just like to let you know, we've listened to your feedback and just released a complete overhaul of the app. If you're happy, please consider updating your review as we have worked really hard to make the game awesome :) We can't wait for you to try it! - Dan

Need to hire new app developers

I absolutely love chess. I love poker even more. You’d think this game would be the perfect mix of the two...and it is! I’ll give 4 stars for the idea and gameplay. But honestly, I was tempted to give 2 stars because the app is absolutely atrocious. Everything is slow as molasses, and the app looks/acts like it was made for the iPhone 3G. It literally could not get any worse. The developers should feel embarrassed because the app has no cohesion and is poorly designed. If they did a COMPLETE rehaul of the app, this game could be HUGE. Just my two cents. It’s just plain unacceptable. But, alas, I use it bc the concept is fantastic. The implementation though? Unabashedly terrible.

Buggy

Many bugs when playing games that often force you to quit or lose your chips. The most common bug for me is in the middle of a game, with no reasoning or warning. My pieces stop making moves. Even when it’s my turn and my clock is ticking my pieces appear to have the premove affect on them when I attempt to move them. When this happens I’m forced to resign or run the clock out and lose. With a game like this these sorts of bugs are not acceptable. The game idea and the game itself is really fun when it works.

Pay to play !

The waiting time to be given more chips is insane. Meanwhile I play what I assume are RMT’ers who go all in every hand because 4K chips is a joke to their parents credit card. This app is trash. So are all pay to play games and apps. Why we put up with this as a society is beyond me.

Much better

This is actually a clever concept and a fun game. Ever since the last bug fixes, there’s no more glitches. Being able to premove the chess pieces was a great much needed improvement. The only thing missing now is the ability to pic an avatar that actually looks like me (or at least be able to upload my own photo). Overall I recommend it.

Hi DB, Thank you for taking the time to update your review. It means a lot to us! Really glad you're enjoying the game. Also, great suggestion! I will pass the avatar idea on to our dev team - Thanks again, Dan

I like the game

After the recent update the app seems less buggy, but frankly I lost interest in the game so I didn’t test it much. Still enjoyable game, the app could still use some improvement (e.g. fast piece promotion, promote... etc). But I am not gonna be playing again.
