Broken system

This chess app have too many glitches. The opponent can run out of time and it’ll say you loss; when you’re suppose to win when they time run out and it always freezes up when it’s about to cheat

Game doesnt work

Friends on friends list get automatically deleted. Can’t invite friend to play. Software is so bugged. iOS needs to vet apps better.

Game buffers after you get a checkmate and it counts as a losss

So many issues with this game. The buffering every time I would have a check mate and then then it counts as a loss because you run out of time was the last straw after it continued to happen. Best thing you can do is delete this garbage app.

Poor quality

The chessmen are hard to recognise because they look weird and there is no option to change the style of the chessmen and board. There is no board sound when the opponent makes a move and it is not possible to premove on this app. Overall, very primitive!

Rewards + Assssts

1) I’d like to see what the rewards mean? I’m not sure what the rubys and “exp” means. I’m guessing it’s “experience”.

2) My Missions section doesn’t update for certain achievements. They remain at 0.

A) Winning games against “rookie” to “expert” cpu doesn’t change.

B) I can promote pawns multiple times in a game and it doesn’t increase my numbers.

This update they broke the sound

This time the broke the chess piece movement sound for the opponent only. You can still hear your move but you can’t hear theirs so the game is very annoying to play. But at least they fixed checkmate so you don’t have to wait for the time to run out. Amazingly bad programmers. 🤷‍♂️ its garbage but its free.

Checkmate is broken

When i checkmate someone it does not register the checkmate and instead their clock has to run down and i win on time. If the game was only a few moves like with the scholars mate then it only gives me one point and says the player abandoned the game when their clock runs out. At least the starwars game ad music doesn’t get stuck playing all the time. But please fix checkmate.

When i am checkmated the game ends as it should on my end but i suspect my opponent is stuck waiting for the time to run off the clock like i am when I win.

Was fun

All of my checkmates would count but after the last update I have to wait for my opponent’s time to run out before the game ends 👎🏽 hopefully they fix it before I delete it.

Scammers everywhere

Full of scammers from a particular country

Game bug

I don’t know what is going on with this game but for some reason when I get people in check mate it is not saying it and giving me my win for checkmate. It just keeps the game going until the opponent runs out of time. Even though it’s a win it’s not giving me the real win of checkmate. Yet some reason if I get put in checkmate I lose right away. This needs to be fixed. It’s kind of disappointing!
