It will cost you at least $0.20 a game if you buy the $60 package. If you buy cheaper package it will cost you double. Great app but the cost to play is making me uninstall it. ### 4/5 — The Ads tho *2026-05-17, version 3.22.0* I have to close the app to get rid of the ads…. I like the format and layout of the actual game. 4 stars ### 5/5 — Tpernini *2026-05-16, version 3.22.0* Jumped into this chess app and was pleasantly surprised by how simple the registration was, took hardly any time. The tutorial was engaging and really helped me grasp the basics quickly. I love the variety of game modes available, plus the community is active and supportive. Great for all ages and keeps my mind sharp ### 5/5 — Excellent app for older model devices *2026-04-25, version 3.20.2* I have an iPhone se and it’s old and I like chess I thought I wouldn’t find any good apps but I gave this one a go because there was good reviews and I love it ### 5/5 — If you enjoy Chess this one’s perfect for you! *2026-04-18, version 3.20.2* App runs smoothly without crashes. Easy to use for all ages. No noticeable battey drain. Worth trying if you like chess games online. ### 4/5 — Ugh 😑 *2026-04-13, version 3.20.2* You guys lied a pit but it's ok u said I lost but I didn't 🙄❤️ ### 5/5 — Try it now *2026-04-12, version 3.20.2* It is the best game ever try now ### 4/5 — Man! *2026-03-31* Zu viel Werbung ### 2/5 — Only blitz & disappearing points and some cheaters *2026-03-13, version 3.20.0* Just straight up blitz no events for the 60sec per move they have and no way to save games. A couple times now I log in to see my rating went down out of nowhere, I think it may be an inactivity system in place which I wouldn’t mind but don’t know for sure. The support team hasn’t gotten back to me at all ### 5/5 — Chess *2026-03-13, version 3.20.0* Very fun, makes chess more entertaining than it already is ### 3/5 — Only blitz *2026-03-02, version 3.18.0* Just straight up blitz no events for the 60sec per move they have and no way to save games ### 5/5 — Buena plataforma *2026-02-23, version 3.17.0* Tiene un buen diseño la plataforma para los que nos gusta este deporte y para las personas que quieren aprender. Fácil manejo lo que si sería bueno es la implementación de otra categoría de torneos más interesante. Que ayude a mejorar el Eli ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pub bloquant le jeu *2026-08-20* Dommage que les pubs bloquent le lancement des parties. Notamment les pubs Candy Crush. Lorsque l'on possède l'application candy crush il est impossible de quitter la pub et de commencer la partie. Très dommage encore une fois que les pubs bouzille l'essentiel de l'application. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-09, version 3.29.1* I get a free game has to have some ads but this is just crazy can’t do anything without an ad I wanted to play to beat level five but gave up after getting tired of having to rewatch 2 minutes of ads everytime I try to play ### 1/5 — Clowns *2026-07-09, version 3.25.0* It’s hilarious to me that this app wants to charge you literal money to play after you run out of “energy”. In what universe do the owners of this app think anyone is going to pay them to play chess on their app. Delete it and find another free to play chess app ### 1/5 — It’s ok and then ads *2026-06-26, version 3.24.1* To many ads ### 1/5 — The app has too many ads *2026-06-25, version 3.24.1* The ads are ridiculously long. ### 1/5 — Ads suck *2026-06-23, version 3.24.1* Ads ruin this game ### 1/5 — 3 игры с ботами, а дальше надо покупать! *2026-05-11, version 3.22.0* Либо покупка, либо жди пока восстановиться энергия… очень жадные разрабы! Лучше уж на Chess.com играть!!! ### 1/5 — Not challenging enough *2026-02-18, version 3.17.0* To easy, update your computer ### 1/5 — Много платных покупок *2026-02-11* Раньше было хорошим приложением, а теперь без донатов даже ход назад нельзя сделать. ### 1/5 — Ads… *2026-02-09, version 3.16.0* Ads all the time. No worth to play this, there are better chess games ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — King *2026-08-05, version 3.27.0* Good game ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-08-01* Muito bom ### 5/5 — Chess *2026-07-18, version 3.26.0* This is a very good game ### 5/5 — Me *2026-06-27, version 3.24.1* Wish I had more matches ### 5/5 — Allows you to think like a Buisness person *2026-06-15, version 3.23.0* I just like how you just take a time to think like a Buisness person or a person making a plan; this is what chess can benefit you to think before you make a plan or decision. ### 5/5 — عشسدس *2026-06-01, version 3.22.0* س ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-05-25, version 3.22.0* Muy buena! ### 5/5 — Fun chess app *2026-05-22, version 3.22.0* Fun chess app, worth it for all ages, smooth gameplay, no issues so far. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-05-22, version 3.22.0* The game shows moves clearly and makes learning chses fun. ### 5/5 — Hello *2026-05-17, version 3.22.0* The platform delivers a smooth, responsive experience with minimal battery use and clear navigation.
