I really love the puzzle quest feature and complete missions, they’re engaging ### 5/5 — Long live landscape mode! *2026-01-23, version 6.0.2* Stoked that they’ve enabled use of landscape mode again. Makes the experience so much better on iPad, IMO. Puzzle Quest is currently my favourite feature. I play every day in an effort to help keep my mind sharp. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app for all levels *2026-01-23, version 6.0.2* Great for beginners and professionals. Free sign up and excellent daily puzzles - perfect when you don’t have time for a full game. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-01-23, version 6.0.2* Great app to play chess. Constant updates and new features. ### 5/5 — Chess at its best *2026-01-23, version 6.0.2* A great playing platform, where you can find opponents online 24/7, but also chess puzzles, bots, and much more. ### 5/5 — Slick interface *2026-01-23, version 6.0.2* I have been playing on ICC since 1997, and I love how it has evolved, with a new, modern and slick interface. Daily Puzzle and Puzzle Quest are the two chess challenges I like the most. ### 5/5 — Top notch *2026-01-23, version 6.0.2* I use the ICC Chessclub app every day. I particularly enjoy Puzzle Quest and Daily Puzzle. Great app for all levels of play. ### 5/5 — Finally fun chess app! *2026-01-22, version 6.0.2* The whole family plays love this game ### 2/5 — The app crashes *2026-01-06, version 6.0.2* The app crashes While playing - suddenly you the game disappears - also several times the opponent left and it did let me claim victory. ### 2/5 — The app rotation doesn't work *2025-08-15, version 6.0.1* The app rotation doesn't work. I use ipad and it's better to play vertically, but icc only works horizontally. This is horrible. ### 3/5 — Lacks landscape mode please *2025-05-19, version 6.0.1* Why isn’t there landscape mode??? Also option other than drag and drop. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2025-01-05, version 6.0.1* The GUI is blah and not user-friendly. Worse: There are quite a few puzzles that have more than one solution. Yet, your app does not take that into account and unfairly deems a solution wrong. Strangely, there is no contact email. Email, to the one provided in the newsletter, bounces. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great app but frustrating screen movement issue *2026-04-22, version 6.0.3* Title: Great app but frustrating screen movement issue I’ve enjoyed using the ICC International Chess Correspondence App, but there’s a major flaw that makes playing on mobile frustrating. When moving pieces during a game, the entire screen shifts or slides around with finger movements. This makes it difficult to focus on the board and can lead to misclicks or accidental moves. I suggest the developers look into how other platforms like Lichess or Chess.com handle this — their boards stay locked in place during gameplay, allowing for smoother, more intuitive touch interaction. Fixing this would greatly improve the playing experience and make the app much more user-friendly for mobile players. Hope to see this addressed in a future update! ### 1/5 — Te app does not support landscape mode on iPad *2025-08-01, version 6.0.1* Please fix it ### 1/5 — Great app but frustrating screen movement issue *2025-07-18, version 6.0.1* Title: Great app but frustrating screen movement issue I’ve enjoyed using the ICC International Chess Correspondence App, but there’s a major flaw that makes playing on mobile frustrating.

Also no tourneys ICC seems to have copied by generating fake accts. In addition, acct sharing is rampant if no AI generated players. This is sad for ICC to sink so low. ### 1/5 — Lousy unworkable app plus cheaters everywhere *2025-04-18, version 6.0.1* Lousy app it is difficult to move pieces.

Now we can not play in ipads in landscape mode? *2025-01-10, version 6.0.1* Why? Now we can not play in ipads in landscape mode? This is terrible, because we have covers tablets that not permit used confort in vertical mode… Please update it. ### 1/5 — Are you serious??? Can’t even change screen orientation on iPad to landscape (horizontal)!!! *2024-12-30, version 6.0.1* I’ve been on this online club for decades, but seeing this latest app… it is just so terrible I am forced to look for another alternative! ### 1/5 — Péssimo. *2024-12-15, version 6.0.1* É ruim em tudo. É difícil para vermos as nossas partidas e também para salvá-las. O melhor de todos os clubes de xadrez na internet é o Lichess, em segundo lugar vem o Chessbase.com (infelizmente o aplicativo foi desativado), em terceiro vem o Chess.com e em quarto vem o FIDE Online Arena. O Chess at ICC fica em quinto e ÚLTIMO lugar. ### 1/5 — Update is awful *2024-12-07, version 6.0.1* I’ve been playing on here for years but I’ll be canceling my membership. Update has ruined the site. It used to be great. Nothing is the same. Rated games are flooded with guest players whose ratings are useless. I don’t see any of the old players from before on here anymore either. They must have all cancelled as well. ### 1/5 — No real study possible *2024-12-05, version 6.0.1* Unfortunately if you play bots you cannot take back moves so to correct small mistakes or slips is impossible That is not practical at all. I have uninstalled the app Lichess is much better ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Chess with PvP, Bots and Puzzles! *2026-01-27, version 6.0.2* A very well-designed chess app with strong functionality. Fast PvP games, many variations of bots for any kind of difficult and puzzle-based twist. The puzzles add a fresh layer to the experience and make learning and playing more engaging. Smooth, thoughtful, and genuinely fun to use app. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-01-27, version 6.0.2* This is a really fun chess app. It has a lot of ways to engage, and it’s a great way to sharpen your skills. Check it out! ### 5/5 — Chess King *2026-01-27, version 6.0.2* The most interesting chess app I’ve seen so far. Fast, responsiveness, smooth. And new learning features - are the best. Looking forward for new updates) ### 5/5 — Outdated screenshots? *2026-01-27, version 6.0.2* Was a bit sceptical, but actual game is much more modern than shown on screenshots in store! Give it a try! ### 5/5 — Better than others *2026-01-27, version 6.0.2* Best in class puzzles and daily quests ever. Nice old school UI. ### 5/5 — Great chess app! *2026-01-27, version 6.0.2* Very good chess app overall - clean UI, enjoyable puzzles, and stable performance. I especially like the learning features. Looking forward to future updates and improvements! ### 5/5 — Chess & fun! *2026-01-26, version 6.0.2* Download and enjoy chess and puzzles! Free, original and many options for chess! Recommendable! ### 5/5 — Not a Chess Player… But I’m Hooked *2026-01-26, version 6.0.2* I’m not a regular chess player, but ICC really pulled me in. The daily puzzles, missions, and achievements make it feel fun and rewarding even if you’re not super competitive. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-01-23, version 6.0.2* Very enjoyable and rewarding way to play chess. The historical daily puzzles are very nice and worth solving. The newer Puzzle Quest is also great. ### 5/5 — Recommend *2026-01-23, version 6.0.2* A great app for all levels of play. Highly recommended. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
