  • Please fix the bug

    Since around a year ago we could not launch the app on iPad, even after the update. We can only use the website version or the iPhone version. We love the app. Please fix it. Thanks!!

I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties with the app. To help you better in real time, could you please email us more details about this 'bug'? We have a dedicated support team ready to help you at support@chesskid.com. Thanks so much!
  • I think the app is ok but it needs a little more work to be able to let more kids like it

    With maybe some more regular people to play with and let others play with two different players or family members .

    Thank you for the feedback :) You can play with family members! Adult accounts just need to be added as a Guardians on Kids accounts; for safety reasons! More suggestions or concerns?! Let us know by writing to support@chesskid.com. We appreciate your input!

  • Chess kids…

    Basically chess kids is good but… I have to have this gold thingy to be able to like watch videos, which in my opinion is unfair. Like I think we should be able to watch chess videos without being a gold member. I understand how you need to be a gold member to get certain avatars. But chess kid IS SO FUN not counting the gold membership. If you don’t have any people to play with you can play against a bot. You can pick your bots level it can be beginner, intermediate, advanced and I’m just naming a few!

    Hi, Rosie :) Thanks for the review! So glad you're enjoying chess with us!
  • Great game, one problem

    Most of the time I would have a great time playing against the bots but, at random times it would say it was a draw for no reason. I do not know why this happens, and the only thing that is similar with all rounds is that I was in the lead with multiple pieces still alive.
  • Seems cool but lacks representation

    My daughter is enjoying the app but we noticed that under the personalities that you can choose to play against there is only 1 woman and 0 black or brown women represented as avatars. This signals that the developers lack awareness of how diverse representation can benefit their product. I hope they do better in this area because it honestly makes me want to delete the app and find something else that values women and people of color.

  • The “kids” app isn’t just for kids!!

    I am a 41 yr-old woman who has wanted to learn chess her entire life. I would always watch others play enviously. I’ve downloaded SO many other “teaching” apps, & w/each one I felt worse & worse. I felt so stupid bc I just could not get the hang of the game…until I tried this one. This app may be geared towards children, but it does an amazing job at breaking things down in steps, then gradually immersing you in the game, so much so that you REALLY start to understand the gameplay. I thought I was doomed bc I’m terrible at math & stategy, but the coaching system gives you hints so that you truly start to get the hang of movement. I just won my FIRST EVER game & I actually screamed in triumph 😂😂😂

    I ❤️this app-it’s amazing. Guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!!!

  • ChessKid

    I play chess and I play when I forget my set and then me and my dad play. also my little 2-year old sister will lose the pieces so when I play on ChessKid she does not lose the pieces. You can play others or a robot which are called bots.
  • Pass and Play has a problem.

    It is a great app but whatever I do, even try to get white to lose on purpose it always says white wins! I never seen black wins before and it will get confusing. If you fix that bug, I will give you 5 stars rating.
