Please fix. ### 3/5 — keeps switching to rated mode *2026-07-08, version 5.41.16* every time i open the app it switches me out of training mode and into rated mode. this started happening recently since last update or two. ### 4/5 — Great chess app! *2026-06-01, version 5.10* I really enjoy the difficulty scaling of the AI. My only complaint is that my purchase on osx has not transferred to the ios app. I'm still waiting for a response from the developers about if it is possible to use this osx license on my phone ### 3/5 — où se trouvent les commentaires des partie *2026-05-17* Bonjour, Pourriez vous je vous prie indiquer où se trouvent les commentaires des parties jouées en mode entrainement sur la version Mac ? Ces commentaires sont présents sur la version Pro téléchargée sur iPhone mais absent sur la version Pro installée sur Mac. Merci infiniment Cordialement **Developer response:** Cela devrait maintenant y figurer dans la dernière version. Profitez-en. ### 4/5 — Very nice and friendly *2026-02-27, version 5.10* Thanks................ :) ### 4/5 — La migliore! *2026-02-26, version 5.36.01* Ottima app. Ma questa ultima versione non fa apparire la Icona dell’App. nella versione per iPad settima generazione con iPadOS 18.7.5 ### 5/5 — This APP continues to be how all other chess apps ARE MEASURED! *2026-02-24* After years of continuous updates and marvelous improvements, Chess Pro is still cutting edge improvements and how all other chess apps in the App Store are measured and compared. Skip the silly and goofy “animated” and weak chess apps that fail at the ability to be configured to levels, play backs, and strategic adjustment. This app is the what all chess apps developers strive to achieve, but never copy. This app continues to blow me away, and is light years ahead of its closest competitor in technical ability - and I have tried 95% of all chess apps and desktop software. Lastly, I have to say it it is an improvement and a PLUS this app has lasted so long (with constant improvements) WITHOUT being “phased-out” whilst the developers come out with a brand new PAID replacement app, forcing you to “re-purchase” the “new and improved” app, or choosing to sell updates and improvements as “in-app purchases”, as is the case of the low-rent developers that must rely on this mercenary behavior to make money, since the quality and reputation of the app has stagnated and no longer generates money! Cheers! **Developer response:** Wow. Thank you so much. Quite possibly our best review ever and will motivate us onwards and upwards. ### 5/5 — Great way to learn! *2026-02-20, version 5.10* I’m new to chess and so much appreciate the training mode. ### 5/5 — You’ve broken the app! Now fixed, thank you. *2026-01-30* Been getting worse and worse after each recent update - now doesn’t load at all. Would give zero stars if I could. Pity - was very good until recently. Response to Developer’s response - iPad Air 2, 15.8.5 - very old I know! Response to the Developers latest message - Thank you very much - now working beautifully again. Thank you very much for your response and fixing it - back to five stars! **Developer response:** This is now fixed. Appoligies for the inconvenience. We hope you like the major new features. ### 5/5 — 20 STARS *2026-01-29* By far my favorite chess app in the App Store! All in functionality and play/capabilities, and also this is a developer that - unlike a LOT of other developers, does not attempt to badger you with pay-for-play schemes using advanced features as reasons for silly subscriptions or further payment. They have never stopped “supporting” the app to move on to yet another app that must be re-purchased. They use the “old fashion” model of ‘updating and improving an already fantastic product’ to gather further business via reviews and word-of-mouth. IF there was an award for Customer Dedication and Satisfaction, they would certainly have a trophy. They continually update and support it with fantastic features that are challenging and entertaining. Forget about the other “glitzy” and “goofy” animated chess apps in the App Store. Those are for younger children, and off no challenge or configuration. Hats-off to this app and their developers! **Developer response:** Wow. Thank you so much. Quite possibly our best review ever and will motivate us onwards and upwards. ### 5/5 — Muy bueno *2026-01-20, version 5.10* Me encanta ### 5/5 — Lots of great features *2025-12-27, version 5.10* Just downloaded but seems like a great game packed with features. Plenty of boards and pieces to choose from ### 5/5 — Great Chess Game *2025-11-29, version 5.10* Love the trainer mode. Extremely detailed ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It does not work! *2026-01-22, version 5.28.04* Used to be the greatest chess app unfortunately since dec ‘25 has become unreliable, it does not work, I mean once tapping the app icon it appears the initial page, it stays for few seconds and then I am pushed back. I am using iPhone 11 Pro updated IOS 26.2. I bought the access (final purchase, not monthly subscription) on May ‘24. ### 1/5 — You’ve broken the app! *2026-01-21, version 5.28.04* Been getting worse and worse after each recent update - now doesn’t load at all. Would give zero stars if I could. Pity - was very good until recently. Response to Developer’s response - iPad Air 2, 15.8.5 - very old I know! ### 1/5 — Paró de funcionar *2026-01-17, version 5.28.04* Hace unos meses me encontré con una oferta de esta aplicación, la cual llevaba usando durante mucho tiempo, en la versión normal, la cual funcionaba con toda normalidad, pero hace unos días, al intentar abrir la app, simplemente no carga y no se puede acceder a ella. Mandé un mail al departamento de soporte, pero nadie se ha dignado en responder, ni ofrecer solución, tampoco en devolverme el dinero. Una pena, ya que esta app me parecía muy buena…la versión gratis sigue funcionando…como es esto….¿si pagas, las cosas van peor o que? 😂 ### 1/5 — You’ve broken the app! *2026-01-06, version 5.27.01* Been getting worse and worse after each recent update - now doesn’t load at all. Would give zero stars if I could. Pity - was very good until recently. ### 1/5 — Played this for years but now it just crashes and wont open. *2026-01-05, version 5.27.01* I wonder if anyone else is having problems or if it's a Y2K26 issue maybe? ### 1/5 — Non funziona più!!! *2025-12-15, version 5.25.01* Aggiustate la cosa poiché ho pagato! ### 1/5 — Nicht ausgereift *2025-12-07, version 5.10* Habe die Pro-Version geladen, Analyse funktioniert nicht bzw. ist keinesfalls selbsterklärend, Züge lassen sich nicht auswählen. In en Taktik-Aufgaben gibt es weder Feedback noch ziehen die gegnerischen Figuren selbstständig, es wäre zudem wünschenswert, wenn die nächste Aufgabe selbstständig begänne… ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr auf IPhone 5 *2025-10-13* Schade , habe die Pro Version gekauft und funktioniert nicht mehr auf einem IPhone 5. so ein gutes Programm, ärgerlich. **Developer response:** Please uninstall your current version then redownload V5.17.09. ### 1/5 — Удалил *2025-10-11, version 5.20.01* Удалил на IPhone 14 и MacBook Air И там и там фризы ### 1/5 — Chess pro *2025-09-18, version 5.17.09* Es sumamente repetitivo, ya que una y otra vez, hace el mismo esquema de jugadas y resulta después de un tiempo, aburrido. Por otra parte, deberían incluir el ajuste de bajar el nivel automáticamente, cuando el usuario pierde. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great chess game *2026-08-14, version 7.10* Super easy to use, great 1 player mode ### 5/5 — Great app especially with Ginkgo *2026-07-17* Greatly improved with the inclusion of Ginkgo! **Developer response:** Thank you, that is great to hear. ### 5/5 — top shelf. *2026-07-16, version 7.04* i have this app for as long as i think it came out. incredible app. it’s most likely the longest app ive had on my phone. lol. fantastic i love it. great job guys keep it going ### 5/5 — Très utile *2026-07-15* Je me sers de cette application pour établir la cote ELO des niveaux de mon chessman élite et je trouve l’échec pro très facile à utiliser. C’est un très bon moteur d’échecs ### 5/5 — Nonmaster *2026-07-15* Good gaming chess. ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-07-03* The Best mobile chess! Very good for everyday training, AI really nice and play like a human. Thanks for your perfect work! ### 5/5 — Рекомендую *2026-05-20* Отличные шахматы. Уже лет 15 наверное или больше на смарфтонах. Жаль андроид версия ушла в небытие. ### 5/5 — Great game for learning and entertainment *2026-04-01* I love so much this game, for it’s design and the many things I was able to learn… even though I am a lousy player. I would like to make a donation; please let me know how to do it at this point. Thanks a lot for making this great chess game. **Developer response:** Thank you for a great review. Your support means a lot. We appreciate the offer but can't accept. It is enough that you love it ;) ### 5/5 — 😊 *2026-03-28* Нравится ### 5/5 — Superbe application *2026-03-21* Superbe application très complète on progresse vite avec toutes les fonctionnalités du jeu --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
