### 4/5 — Good

*2024-11-17, version 5.0.6*

I like this game a lot but I hate how it always says it’s a draw when the king is in check mate. That’s pretty annoying but I still recommend this game. Plus you can’t castle.

### 2/5 — Not Working

*2024-03-11, version 5.0.6*

I haven’t been able to get the app to connect in the last 3 days! It just spins when it starts and never collects.

### 1/5 — You have to watch an Ad after every game before a new match.

*2024-02-04, version 5.0.6*

After every game, when you start a new match, an App Store video appears. There is an option in the upper right window to “skip video”, but when pressed it only pauses the video and offers a button to “Get” the game being advertised. It wont go away unless you get the game or swipe out of the chess app altogether and wait for a minute. I haven’t found any way to turn this off, and I’m guessing there is none, and that this is the price you pay for a really cool App that is totally “free”, and doesn’t track your personal info… If I’m wrong Devs, please drop me a line and I will be happy to change my rating from 1 star to 5. Thanks

### 4/5 — Mostly good

*2024-01-21, version 5.0.6*

1.  If it is possible to do an en passant capture I have not been able to figure out how to do it.
2.  If is possible to promote to a knight instead of to a queen I have not been able to figure out how to do it.
3. Just recently someone has fixed something which wasn’t broke, and now it is broke.  There is a new very artistic way cool introductory screen replacing the old one.  Now the new first screen will not go away and allow me to see the main board, menu, or anything else other than the very cool introductory screen.  The chess game is now unavailable and cannot be played.
Please return it to how it was, a very useful practice engine.
Thanks!

### 1/5 — Hostage Ads

*2024-01-06, version 5.0.3*

If you love looong hostage ads that take their sweet time wasting your life and won't let you go until they decide it's time, this is your baby!

If, on the other hand, you dislike having your time seized and wasted for you, you'll probably want to give this a miss.

### 1/5 — Copies your moves

*2023-12-27, version 5.0.3*

The game just copies your moves and strategies

### 1/5 — Chess

*2023-12-23, version 5.0.3*

Two game’s and it gave up on the game when I was two moves from my second check mate

### 1/5 — Ads

*2023-09-29, version 5.0.3*

Turned on airplane mode and still got ads, meaning they preloaded them into the game. That’s scummy and I don’t appreciate it.

### 1/5 — Timed out too quickly

*2023-09-14, version 5.0.3*

Even just at level 5, I got timed out after a few seconds and lost the game while the opponent (computer) could take much much longer to make a move.  That forces you to start a new game (and watch an ad video).  I finally uninstalled this app.

### 4/5 — Ads persist despite having paid.

*2023-08-18, version 5.0.3*

Great game. Plays a good defensive game. But ads show up at the end of the games after I have paid to have ads removed.

### 3/5 — AI too easy, no purchase to remove ads

*2023-06-05, version 5.0.3*

Cool customization option, but the AI is very primitive and easy to cheese. It keeps using the same defense as black over and over again, without fail, in every single opening until like level 15 (out of 25) difficulty, doesn’t know how to trade material, and is so pathetically blunder-happy that even the HIGHEST DIFFICULTY LEVEL doesn’t know how to do a king-and-queen mate without blundering the latter and drawing. (I’ve tested it)

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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

### 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

### 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

### 1/5 — Adds

*2025-01-03, version 5.0.6*

Some adds were in I believe Chinese, couldn’t figure out how to close them to move on to the next game, press a symbol on screen and it opens up who knows what. And I could not close it so I had to delete app. Don’t trust the adds in this game.

### 1/5 — Infomercial

*2024-08-12, version 5.0.6*

I deleted this app after infomercials started coming thru.

### 1/5 — AI gives up

*2024-05-13, version 5.0.6*

No matter what level you play the AI will essentially give up every few games.  Meaning it will do a move that is just stupid.  You can learn to a point with this but then it becomes a waste of time because it does something just plain stupid.  
It will play a good game and then just goes into dumb dumb mode.  
Just make the AI not do that and the game would be way better.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2024-03-02, version 5.0.6*

In this game it makes it so the computer can win,all the good reviews are from bots

Good

### 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!

### 5/5 — NOT MENT FOR ONLINE

THIS IS THE BEST 3D CHESS APP!!!!

### 5/5 — Good board

*2024-09-04, version 5.0.6*

Recommend

### 5/5 — Great Game!!! A.I. is incredibly good.

*2024-05-05, version 5.0.6*

Countless hours playing this game. I love that the camera angles are 360’ XY and 180’ Z. Zoom in and out. The only thing is I wish it had was a moves recorder so I could study what I did. Even for just the previous game. The graphics on here are really good and I have gotten significantly better at playing against humans since playing this game. I’ve had it for years. It really got me back into playing chess again. A old pastime that I love so much.

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2024-02-07, version 5.0.6*

This is game is fun

### 5/5 — Pawn promotion

*2024-01-27, version 5.0.6*

It doesn’t let me promote any pawns

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2023-02-27, version 5.0.3*

I like the game
