DO NOT GET THIS
Hard to sign in the Apple Store and ask somebody how to do it. How many glitches in it and every game I played it got difficult by the fourth game
Very bad site
This app is riddled with cheat engines and users are very mean and racist I don’t recommend 99% of users are using chess programs and developer is a hacker.
Chess at it’s best
I must say that this is a truly great chess app for competitive and casual play. That in addition to great Shredder AI make this a great app. I do have a premium membership, which I will no longer continue. I’m not into blitz/bullet wars or restricted time limitations. I throughly enjoy correspondence chess and am having difficulty finding other players, who will accept challenges. Sure, I’m no reincarnation of Fischer but I don’t want to pay to wait around for a game. I hate having games aborted. It’s way too frequent.

Chess club expanded
This is a high quality app that features a smallish but dedicated community: think a chess club without the commute. To be sure it is harder for a casual player to get a fair game, but even being whupped by the serious players present will help with improvement. Games can be retrieved off screen in the standard setting.

Beautiful chess app
This is a great app. It is functionally simple yet capable and looks great. The Shredder chess engine’s creator is a well known chess engine and also the co-creator of the UCI chess interface, universally used for interfacing chess engines and GUIs. The cost of premium membership is reasonable, which allows you to download your games using their web interface. The web interface allows you to play from any browser and looks pretty much the same as this app and is functionally otherwise identical to this app. What is missing is an analysis link between games completed here and the other Shredder app by the same author.

Can't see clock.
Can you send an update to make the clock a little bigger other than that this is a beautiful chess app one of the best I ever used. Also send an update so I can put in a new avatar
Superb but in need of an update
This is a superbly well thought out app but it has developed a couple of problems: 1) A few months ago latency increased considerably. I'm guessing the servers were moved to some new location, far away from the US west coast.
2) After I updated my iPad to iOS 10 the app has become unusable due to a 1-2 seconds latency after many moves. Annoying in a 5 mins game, impossible in 1-3 min games.
PLEASE fix these problems so that this will again be the best online chess game on the planet.

Garbage App:
Don't waste your time and very misleading. First off The app never allows you to win regardless of what your rating Secondly when you're close to winning it will offer a draw or second option to decline the draw (which never works so you simply opt out to except the draw) however, when you except the draw the app just allows your time to run out and you lose anyway. I am a 2400 grand master and I never won one single game and it gave me a rating of 1300 and I still couldn't win a game the moves were so fast with no thought process whatsoever so it obviously was a computer don't waste your time downloading this app.

Worth it
It's a great pass time. Its challenging. There are many challenging opponents. It's a great set up.
Once great but not now
This app is fantastic when it works. Unfortunately I am constantly getting disconnected during games now. My wifi is great and it's only this app that loses connection. I emailed support so if they fix it I will change to 5 stars. Unplayable as is now. :(
The most unreliable server I've ever played on in my life
I just installed this app today but after playing one game I had to uninstall it every time I made a move it said I lost connection and then when it was my opponent move the clock would still count down on my end and stay the same on his end I eventually timed out graphics are horrible everything about this sight seems rushed I am a professional chess player and I will not be revisiting this sight ever again don't waist your time. ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽

Best online chess experience
Shredder is by far the best chess app available. The online experience with the shredder brand is as wonderful. Shredders reputation does attract the best so the quality of games is pretty solid. Just need more people to sign up!
the BEST PvP chess playing app
Where to start... Okay, you get time controls, a great community of players, lots of options, it's FREE, the server network seems to never stall, lag, or crash... I wish people would play more here and less on that wonderfully popular, yet most basic of basic chess apps, Chess With Friends (which I play all the time). This is a vastly superior app.

The clear choice
Been having the whole family on this app now and we all enjoy it, both the inexperienced and experienced! Great interface and easy to use on the go!
Great App
... but really don't need the display of coordinates on the board. No feature in "settings" to turn it off. Thanks for this app though, great environment.
Incredible chess app
Hello chess fans, let me start by saying that if you are looking for a chess app to play online with a world wide band of chess-opponents along with Cpu to play with then please purchase this app. For starters the app owner/developer is a stand up guy who will respond to all your questions and concerns, even if you have questions before you purchase this app which I did and he is the main reason why I purchased this app. believe me I had many many... Questions before I purchased this app, heck the owner/developer even responded to one of my questions on Thanksgiving day, that shows commitment to all of his app users. The app itself is very user friendly and the people that you challenge are also nice and professional while chatting and playing your chess match. There are many was to start a match you have options like..
Playing from many different Elo ratings or you can choose from many different times of play there are tournaments going all the time you can pick an opponent that you want to play and look at the opponents bio to see the games that they played and the players they played against also with this option you can see who they won and lost to in every match, you can also see who is the top ratted players if you do challenge another player they have to accept the challenge keep that in mind. the same goes if another player challenges you there's an option that lets you accept/decline the match. if for some reason your device blinks out or if you close out of a game when you log back into play all games will resume were they left off, unlike other apps were you either have to start over or even lose the match.

Best Online Chess App on iPad
Clean pleasing design. Really like the top view wood pieces, looks great on a iPad retina display. You can try it out as a guest, but definitely register as a member to track your rating, it's free, and no ads.
This is still a new app, so not as many players as others but it's growing steadily.

Needs LOTS of work
Many bugs and holes in this program. Basic features like showing captured pieces are missing. I bought a premium membership and got locked out trying to use it. Wasted my money.
Great chess app
This app is very good to play chess online. I highly recommend it to every one.
Serious bug that must be fixed!!
Pros: Tons of features, love the game!!
Cons: When playing a rated game online, the game looses connection and you and up loosing on time! The work around is to "kill" an app and then start it again. These way the app will reconnect. Some games I have to do it every 3-4 moves!!!
Final thoughts: Please fix this bug!! You cannot use the app, doesn't matter how great it is!!! I will try and re-rate after the new update.
