Problems with free version
This app says that kids can do 1 free lesson and 3 free puzzles every day. Every time we open the app, no lessons are or puzzles are available. Just the message asking kids to ask their parents to pay for the gold subscription. It’s misleading (or a really annoying bug) and I am less inclined to pay for it either way.

Hello Clelly :) You're so very welcome! Thank you so much for this feedback! We appreciate you as well :)
Good but…
Great app for learning chess, and has interactive events, only problem is you have to pay, and new videos are not being released, just bonus challenge videos, which have no point. Update: I want more endgame puzzles. Also, how do I get featured in a ChessKid video? How do you challenge FunMasterMike?

Chess game
There a lot of chess games you could try but so far this has been the best starting with a variety of different modes making it very customizable slow chess if you want to play a relaxing game against a kid to test your skills and puzzles for a bit of extra fun overall i think this would be a great app for your children and a good way to learn.

Why I love chesskid…
I love chess kids because it’s a fun way to play today and I like that you don’t have to play against people, you can play against bots.
I like the puzzles in chess kid too.
Somethings I don’t like about Chesskid…
I don’t like that you can only do six free lessons, and that you have to get gold to do ALL The other ones.
I also don’t like that you can only play against a few bots until you get gold.

Decent single player for kids but software is very poor
Chess kids has a painful interface and a lot of bugs. I bought a gold membership for my son and I but we are unable to play games together as he always shows as unavailable in the interface even when I’ve verified that he’s logged in.

The single player engine is good for kids but with such a buggy multiplayer experience I can’t recommend this app.

Ratings
Hello, ChessKid is a great chess learning app! In fact, the only downside is I lose too much rating points when I lose, even when my opponent is higher than me. Also, just a suggestion, you could allow full-screen on mobile devices, like an iPhone and iPad. Plus I couldn’t send friend requests on mobile devices, like iPhone and iPad. If you take my recommendations, ChessKid could be a lot more fun.

I SOMHOW GOT 6 BISHOPS (this is broken and I love it)
When I woke up this morning and play chess and I thought is it possible to get 3 bishop and it was possible then I tried 4 bishops then 5 and finally 6 this is very amazing
I even took screenshots of the robot reacting how I get a lot of Bishops (imagine me getting 8 bishops.)

How good chess kid is.
Chess kid is fun and it teaches your new skills and the videos actually really help you that’s why I like it and I think at like some of the challenges but some of them like you need to get a . Bit higher but I think another one on is a really good level and like most of the time I go on ChessKid I think that’s why it’s so good.

7 yr old loves it!
My 7 yr old son is learning to play using this app and loves it. We tried a few different apps and they were too difficult for him but this app allows him to play against different bots that are his level.
