  • Please make this app workable

    Your physical product is great. Please hire a product manager and get this app in shape. It’s very difficult to even sign up and log in. Implement SSO like the old one. Get rid of capcha, it’s not needed and your current implementation is broken. You can resolve all of the main issues in 2 sprint cycles, please do it 🙏.

  • Good Progress

    This is a good start. However all of the YouTubers are showing the android version and it has so much more capabilities. Starting with Chess Vision which opens the door to many more apps being compatible. Downloading engines is a great feature but we don’t have it. Creating your own engine is also not available in iOS. Let’s go chessnut. Let’s get some equality here. Update: they have now added downloading engines to the iOS version. Thank you! Still not sure about chess vision. Update: playing by tapping is cool but I can’t castle! Thanks
    Update: The castling issue is fixed!

    We will try to keep the functions consistent, but there are still some technical issues that have not been resolved. Due to platform limitations, it is difficult to customize the engine on IOS.

  • Good new feature!

    I love the addition of extracting recorded games from the board directly. It makes analyzing the games played OTB so much easier. Good job! I wish the developer can do the same for games played against the bot. Currently, we can only see the moves played but can’t copy the PGN directly. I need to screenshot it, and then OCR the screenshot to get the PGN out. I hope it will be added in future updates.

    Edit: I just found out that we can actually copy the PGNs from the bot matches. It’s just not clear in the first place. What a life saver!

  • A Good Start

    Not bad for a new app. I love the Career Mode. It’s weird that the app can’t export the PGN from the games in the Career Mode. It will be so much better to be able to export PGNs. Also, I really hope that the app can access the recorded games in the board.
  • Good start but issues

    Good start to the new app.

    But I had the app crash twice on me during live games.

    Also this app does NOT work when the iPhone screen is locked. The old app did this fine. Please fix this

    Developer Response

    Hello, we always take the program crash issue very seriously. We hope you can provide more information about the crash so that we can fix it. Thank you. You can send the detailed information to contact@chessnutech.com.
  • Not ready for release

    This will be great when it works, but as it stands it doesn’t connect to the board. Chessnut makes great products, and I’m sure they will sort this out, but they should not have released a product that does not yet function. Stick with the old app until this one is functional.
