Misleading

Can’t play unless you connect via blue tooth

Constant Connection Issues

App used to be the best option to play chess with someone without having to pass one phone back and forth, but the connection has gotten worse and worse. The app pauses and has to search for a connection in between every move which makes it unplayable.

Super App

Super App, die ich sehr gerne nitze. Eine kleine Anmerkung, kann es sein, dass das „en pssant“ Schlagen nicht implementiert ist?

Works

The most important function playing on two devices without internet connection works. An improvement would be to save the played games to allow the user to review old games.
