One of the worst chess apps out there

For Ipad air? air

I only get a small, partial screen on my Ipad in the free version. There are no options to enlarge the screen that I could find.
If I subscribe, will I get full screen?

Check mate at gate

The app starts off nicely. Then you go back to play, you’re logged out. Password not reconized. You have to create a whole new password. Support team never responded. This happened about 4xs 🚩🚩🚩

App doesn’t work

Won’t let me register, won’t let me log in. I’m sure it would be great if it were usable in any capacity, but in the meantime I will stick with chesscom, Dr. Wolf, and other tried and true chess apps.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback — we’re sorry to hear that. Could you please tell us what exactly didn’t work? Without details it’s hard to reproduce and fix. Also: why didn’t you contact our Support? It’s available in the footer on every page, and we respond quickly.

Not bad

It’s a good app, needs polishing but helpful.

Garbage

Installed and signed up for a month of premium. Was billed but never received access to premium functions. Was told to get refund from Apple as the developer was no help. The app itself is clumsy. If you want analysis of your games just pay for the upgraded substitution at Chess.com or another chess site.
