Nice ➡️ better

It’s amazing for normal chess and I love it but with the name chess universe+ I would think it would have all the different versions of chess like fairy chess and I think it be cool to be able to create your own chess pieces within the app so yeah great for normal chess but it’d be better if it actually included the universe+ in the game and not just in the title.

Sucks

Cool but also frustrating limits

I’ve enjoyed playing this chess game because of all the avatars and chess sets you can unlock, mix and match, create your own look etc. However I’ve now bumped into some sort of limit and can no longer unlock the remaining few characters such as the Warlock for example.

The computer play is pretty poor, it should have better calibrated levels as you progress, as on chess.com, the easy levels are really stupid and it would be better if the gameplay adjusted to match around the player’s ELO, ie: -200, 0, +200.

The post-game analysis options are also limited, in particular missing the “show me” feature in chess.com which explains why a move may be good (or poor).

Overall, whilst this is a more fun & appealing game, it has limitations that the developers could easily improve on.

Irreführende falsche Angaben

Was auch immer ihr unter „sehr leicht“ versteht… auf jeden fall ist es gelogen. Bei „sehr leicht“ kommen zu oft fast unlösbare Aufgaben. Eine Frechheit ist das!

Horrible app for chess

Just play chess.com. No point in using this inferior version of online chess. Terrible chess bots. No anti cheat. Just a bad app

It lost all my data

I have played this game for many many hours. Collected almost all the boards and sets. Beat many of the mini game challenges. Then the game forgot all my progress. I love chess but I don’t want to redo all the lessons games. Very disappointing.

Doesn’t belong in Apple Arcade

This app operates like a free/pay to play app. Wait 24hrs until next match. Even within the Apple Arcade. The settings are so limited, the chess pieces move so fast that you miss where your opponent moved.

Learning chess

It is the best way to get kids interested in playing board games, versing someone and learning you can not win all the time.

Love this game

Fun for all ages

App is not Syncing

For some reason, the app is not syncing and continues to ‘clock’ or spin when attempting to open. I have deleted the app, re-add the app. Then the app will load, however, when trying to sync my gamer ID and pull in all my data, the app continues to ‘clock’ and never syncs and pulls in the data related to my gamer ID. Fun app, until this started happening. Please fix.

Stopped Working on iPad

The app was working fine for iPad up until 23 June 2026. Now it hangs indefinitely when opening the app. If I delete and reinstall the app, I’m able to play but cannot connect with Game Center to retrieve my progress. Attempting the connection with Game Center also hangs indefinitely, but worked prior to 23 June. Please address this.

Game Center ID stopped working

It was working well for a month but now it won’t let me use my Game Center ID. I push the allow button and it hangs forever. This just started happening June 23. Before today, I could allow use of my Game Center ID just fine. Please help.

Bug

Whenever I have to leave the chess board to add Hunt, Shield or Evaluate feature and come back, the row of the chess board becomes covered by Coins, diamond and + sign. Making it impossible to continue playing. I have a screenshot, but don’t see a place to share it.

I can play it with my family

When I do this game it is fun and positive I can do and Learn lots of things and mostly I love is I can Malay it with my dad or my sister

Very fun

Not much to say really. There’s fun puzzles to riddle out and potentially help you learn new strategies and ways to play. My sole complaint is actually in visuals rather than gameplay. I absolutely hate that piece movements by the opponents has zero animation. Literally just an instant one frame snap. This is quite terrible because without any animation or hint of what piece is about to move you can easily miss the opponent’s move simply by blinking your eyes when it happens. You just have to remember to memorize everything on the board before you make your own move so you can figure out what piece your opponent magically teleported to the next spot.

Maddening

Nothing worse than moving a pawn forward two spaces and this stupid game glitching and only moving it forward one which can severely screw up a strategy. Has happened countless times. Please fix this issue!

Chess

I love the game but I think it’s really hard because it’s like easy mode is like hard mode♟️.
