Really good app, only few things i dislike

1. No circular chess.
2. Piece making is a bit complicated, and you cant add some rules to the piece (like in chesscraft)
3. Completely normal variant's i make cant get published for some reason

Too complex

I really like this app because it allows me to create my own unique versions of chess with different chances, strategies, and variations. I love having the freedom to craft my own chess experience! However, I find the app’s complexity a bit overwhelming. There are so many features and options that it can be hard to navigate, especially when choosing piece movements or setting up variations. A more streamlined interface or simpler navigation would make this app even better.

Excellent game, kind of a scam, all bugs.

At its base Omnichess is an excellent game, going out on a limb to attempt something almost unique, and certainly challenging to implement, and amazingly almost succeeding. Unfortunately it's also broken and probably has been for some time. I would say that it's still worth it despite its faults, just about, but expect many parts of the app to respond only sometimes, or refresh confusingly resulting in loosing your newly created content, more problematically expect systems such as submitting levels to publish, the password reset server, and the system that makes anything subscription based to happen beyond taking payment from your card to be altogether dead, probably permanently.

Needs Update

This app is amazing! Except it doesn’t work. The save button when you make a variant doesn’t work. Please fix this!

Still not polished

Even after triple checking that everything in my variant is correct and accounted for, I still see a validation error. It’s supposed to tell me what the error is, but it doesn’t (because there aren’t any actually—it just thinks there’s one). So yeah I can’t create variants, which is one of the key features of the app. Could really use some work.

Somewhat Works

The variants are good but the very time I go to play a variant with a real person they don’t move and it puts me in the wrong variant.

Huge bugs

1. I choose chess on the matchmaker and then it starts a game of a different variant. I don’t get the option to accept or decline, it’s starts automatically even though it’s a variant I don’t want to play
2. Every game I have just accepted to play, as I want to earn some coins, I end up sitting there waiting for white to make a move. If I’m white I wait 5 minutes. Why do these “humans” not make a move?
This is making the app useless to me
3. Not a bug but if you want to earn coins to unlock more “pieces” you will need to wait a lot of 5 minutes games as you only get 2 coins per game win and each piece cost hundreds to unlock.

WHEN!?

I hope this email finds you well. I recently downloaded your app and have been enjoying it for the most part. However, I have noticed that when I try to type in it on my mobile device, the app seems to break down. I understand that this may be due to the limitations of my device, but I was wondering if there were any solutions to this issue.

I also downloaded the app specifically to create a chess variant, which is one of its main features. Unfortunately, this issue has made it difficult to fully utilize that feature. I wanted to express my frustration but also thank you for creating a great app. I hope that you may be able to provide some guidance or assistance on this matter.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,
Ashton

Broken

Tried multiplayer and it doesn't work correctly. Tried to buy $10 worth of tokens and they don't show up. Very great idea but very broken app.
