Great! But There is A Problem

Hi I’m Rafael (Rafa For Short) And I’m 8 Years Old And I’m Here To Tell You That This App Is Great! But There’s A Problem. When I Turned My IPad In The Variant Maker It Resets. Same Goes For In App Variants But The Variant Will Go Back To It’s Original Form. Will You Update This App Please😊♟️

I take my review back

Everything is good now that i understand and the pieces you could create are unlimited (well the moves) piece editor couldve been better but i give this 4 star’s because this could be better

a very good game

i downloaded it i didn’t understand at first now it’s my second or third day and it’s very cool to make things. also i think you should add a icon feature where you can customise it by yourself like all of the small things like the cross bishop, cross like on a rook something like that

An sich nicht schlecht…

…aber auch nicht gut. Die App löscht ständig meine Einstellungen, wenn ich sie beendet habe. Immer wieder ist der Ton an, immer wieder wird alles zurück gesetzt. Das ist so nervig. Außerdem sehr schlecht programmiert. Die KI spielt auch nicht gut oder überhaupt normal, sie spielt einfach dumm. Verspielt alle Figuren, ohne zu denken.

Шикарний концепт!

Це дуже цікаво, але з недоліків відмічу те, що в мене постійно збивається налаштування звуку. Я вимикаю звук, перезаходжу в гру і звук знову увімкнений. Доводиться кожного разу вимикати його.

Crashes and the ads always shrink the board

Can’t even make your own variant without the app freezing and crashing. iPhone 15 Pro shouldn’t be having a problem with this. At least you don’t have to pay to make your own variants like Chess Remix, but this one crashing every time doesn’t make it much different.

Also, if you don’t choose to let it send you notifications (where it says they won’t spam you), it’ll spam you in the app instead that you should turn on notifications.

Additionally, there is such a huge difference between the Easy AI and the Medium AI. The Easy AI literally gives pieces away, but then just one step up to the Medium AI and it’s just too much to beat.

Grandios Schlecht.

Diese App taugt nichts, sie ist schlecht Programmiert, hängt durchgehend und macht dir ständig ein Angbot für Push-Up-Nachrichten, außerdem musst du meistens zum Scrollen ganz nach unten auf das Handy und gehst dann ständig ohne es zu wollen aus der App. Wenn es eine Bewertung von 0 Sternen gäbe, dann würde diese App sie haben. So eine schlechte Qualität habe ich bei einer App noch nie gesehen.

Captured piece sometimes still shows on square

Web and mobile app both have a glitch that when you capture a piece and then move away from the square where the piece was captured, it still shows the picture of the piece on the square. The piece no longer is part of the game but you have to continue to see the picture of it on the square.

Great game, could be better

It is a great game but I do have some complaints

1. Premium, I know that the app needs money Though I at least make the limits higher for piece count and game count

2. 960 and Omnichess isn’t working, this is not a big deal but I want to use 960 and it is not working for me, If there is an Issue that I am having that isn’t normal please tell me

This is the only good chess variant maker on IOS so I need this to change

Suggestion

Can you increase the board size so that I can create a hexagonal board with 9 spaces to a side? I want to make a 3-player board with 19 pawns, 3 bishops, rest are standard pieces.

What is wrong with the piece editor

Bro why did you change the piece editor it was so good until you changed it now I cant change the pieces movements so change the piece editor back

Great Idea

This is a great idea, being able to design and play your own chess variants using a simple interface. It mostly succeeds, but there are elements of the interface that could do with some polish, and it would be nice to see some articles on designing chess variants, and explaining some of the less intuitive elements of the interface.

Noooooo

It deleted my progress when it updated so i deleted your game doo doo brain

Please help

Every time I wanna play with my friend on 2v2 it wants me to add another 2 real people so please fix this

Really good app, only few things i dislike

1. No circular chess.
2. Piece making is a bit complicated, and you cant add some rules to the piece (like in chesscraft)
3. Completely normal variant's i make cant get published for some reason

Too complex

I really like this app because it allows me to create my own unique versions of chess with different chances, strategies, and variations. I love having the freedom to craft my own chess experience! However, I find the app’s complexity a bit overwhelming. There are so many features and options that it can be hard to navigate, especially when choosing piece movements or setting up variations. A more streamlined interface or simpler navigation would make this app even better.

Excellent game, kind of a scam, all bugs.

At its base Omnichess is an excellent game, going out on a limb to attempt something almost unique, and certainly challenging to implement, and amazingly almost succeeding. Unfortunately it's also broken and probably has been for some time. I would say that it's still worth it despite its faults, just about, but expect many parts of the app to respond only sometimes, or refresh confusingly resulting in loosing your newly created content, more problematically expect systems such as submitting levels to publish, the password reset server, and the system that makes anything subscription based to happen beyond taking payment from your card to be altogether dead, probably permanently.
