User reviews

Loving it

As I said in the title I love the app and the website… the bugs are fixed and it’s much smoother, and it also catches exploiters really well! Love it!

Not the greatest

Has quite few flaws and a lot of buggy movement. It’s important

Dumming down

Chess.com is dumping down. The new format of the dailies puzzle is an example

Me like

Chess.com is a wonderful app, I’ve been using it since I touched the board and still use it now to practice for tournaments. Thx (:

Some features do not work

The app did work once when I was in the same country, and it does not. The game review didn’t work for 3 days, and when I offer a draw, it doesn’t tell me if my opponent accepts or not. I added collections of games for further study, and sometimes the collections or games won’t show up. We were connected to Wi-Fi, but chess.com didn’t show a game I won against coach. It was when I was connected to Wi-Fi and VPN to add extra security, and it did not work.
