Tired of tactics crashing. What’s wrong with you? ### 1/5 — Poor design *2023-02-25* The interface is not intuitive. The app is a blemish for Chess24. Who would subscribe to their service after trying this out? The tactics trainer interface behavior is odd (that is if you can figure it out). ### 1/5 — Saved analysis gets auto deleted *2022-11-27, version 1.7.3* The engine is good but the app is very buggy. If I save an analysis then it stays for a while but then gets auto deleted after a few hours. Their website is much better than their app. Maybe they should remove the app altogether and just focus on the website if that is what they are doing anyways. ### 1/5 — Cant even log in. *2022-05-23, version 1.7.3* I can’t even log in with my basic email please fix this ### 1/5 — Trash *2022-04-04, version 1.7.3* Unable to register. The app says that the data is in the wrong format, but does not specify the field that’s wrong or what the format should be. ### 5/5 — The best place to watch chess online *2022-01-16, version 1.7.3* The app works well too. ### 1/5 — Help *2021-12-26, version 1.7.3* Keep getting problems getting my email password back ### 5/5 — Follow top games *2021-12-04, version 1.7.3* Basically use it to follow all top games. ### 1/5 — One of the worst I’ve ever seen *2021-10-18, version 1.7.3* Terrible ### 1/5 — Won’t even let me register for the site. *2021-10-02, version 1.7.3* The app won’t even let me register for the site. Won’t even recognize a garden variety Gmail address as valid. This does not inspire confidence in the competence of your coders. If it can’t even let people register smoothly, what else will it fail to do? ## Frequently asked questions about chess24 ### What can I do with the chess24 app?
