  • Great live coverage for all the tournaments!

    It’s always been painful on mobile to find all the games and tournaments, I tried the free version and it was promising so I upgraded to paid and don’t regret it at all. The interface is good and it does exactly what I need. Super easy to follow all the tournaments now!
  • Cool app but..

    So I downloaded this app to use on my Apple Watch, but it has no indicator whether or not the match ended in the checkmate, a stalemate, or a resignation, half of the time I couldn’t figure out how it was a stale or checkmate, but I do like watching the games progress, but an indicator of the way the match and would be nice
