## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Sadly, a waste of time

*2020-12-31, version 1.2*

Great, simple idea. But whatever pieces you move however far into the game it suddenly with no warning goes back to start, so game lost. Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Board is set up incorrectly

*2017-08-20*

Kings and queens are reversed...duh

### 2/5 — Need landscape mode

*2020-12-31*

I want a board I can move freely....then I can study chess books and move the board. Problem...I read in landscape mode on my iPad and the board is only in portrait. This will be useful if this could be changed.

### 3/5 — Won’t turn to landscape on iPad

*2024-04-28, version 2.2*

My iPad is used (like a laptop) with its keyboard attached in landscape. The app will only run portrait so no use to me.

### 3/5 — Good, but….

*2022-09-06*

Nice board easy to use, the only problem if I don’t make a move every day it will reset to the beginning. I’m playing with my brother online and sometimes we can’t make a move for a couple of days (work, family emergency etc) and when you go back everything has gone back to the start 😞

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2017-01-08, version 1.0.0*

To learn chess with my kids. Simple but very effective app !

### 5/5 — Nice design

*2016-09-07, version 1.0.0*

I have been looking for something like this.
Thank you

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2016-07-20*

I've been looking for an app like this forever! A super simple chess board in which 2 people can play! I play against my girlfriend all the time on our iPad.
