User reviews

Play with friends.

I don’t want random appointment. I don’t want a time limit. I don’t care about scores I just want to play with my friends and family. I’d like to start a game and come back to to it later.

New update

The daily puzzle feature is a major update for the arcade app. Thank you!

It’s just chess

If you want an play chess with a random person (can’t be someone you know for some reason) or play against a computer. Then great! That’s what this app does. But that’s it. All those reviews from a year ago are still true. No change. Still no learning functions, no way to connect with friends. There are dozens of better chess apps. Don’t waste your time. Developers won’t update this game anytime soon.

Many bugs and few features

The app contains anonymous multiplayer, bots, and customization options while lacking lessons and other learning features. While not bad, the simplicity of the app leaves much to be desired.

Additionally, after beating many of the bots three became timed at only two minutes. To my knowledge, there is no way to fix this issue within the app. Good luck beating Danya in only two minutes.

Horrible!

The fact that this is the paid version too is crazy. If you’ve read the other reviews, you’d know that this has absolutely nothing other than the outdated bots which are all the same. If you try playing online, either some of the columns are missing, or everything is invisible. This has no game review, no puzzles, challenges, analysis, or any other feature other than the bots and the buggy online. There is no reason to use this app instead of the normal one. I wouldn’t even get angry at the devs, but seriously? Fix your game
