### 1/5 — STOP ADs - play chess

*2026-07-10, version 5.0.6*

Terrible app- Very annoying solicitation if unnecessary apps- locks up chess app- STOP STOP

### 5/5 — Great chess game!

*2026-06-16, version 5.0.6*

Graphics are great, multiple levels of play, few annoying ads. All around GREAT.

### 1/5 — 3D Chess

*2026-04-10, version 5.0.6*

Cannot play as screen keeps freezing. CHRONIC problem!

### 1/5 — Temp

*2026-02-12, version 5.0.6*

Intrusive Temu ads. I’m ditching this asap

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-12-19, version 5.0.6*

Good

### 1/5 — Data hoarding & Ads

*2025-10-27, version 5.0.6*

Be wary with this app.  You have to expand upon the vast list of global vendors taking your personal data, and then the app immediately hits you with ads that you cannot bypass and crashes the game.  Unplayable and unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Riddled with data sharing

*2025-10-21, version 5.0.6*

By the time Is been through all the data sharing preferences and opted out there and watched the adverts. There was no time to play the game.  You have a choice to individually go through all 80+ companies they share data with and opt out. Or accept all using the single button.  I deleted the sole once the adverts started.

### 1/5 — Chessboard insolvency

*2025-10-16, version 5.0.6*

After several attempts to play games, characters stopped movement functions

### 5/5 — 3D Chess

*2025-06-30, version 5.0.6*

Although still rather new at chess this app permits the most learning space for me. My mistakes are my growth which,due to its elegance & ease of use, produce daily pleasure. Bravo to its builders.

### 5/5 — The perfect game, nothing superfluous!!!

*2025-01-11, version 5.0.6*

Great interface, it's impossible to break away!
