Doesn’t work

Been using for years. Tired of tactics crashing. What’s wrong with you?

Poor design

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).

Saved analysis gets auto deleted

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.

Cant even log in.

I can’t even log in with my basic email please fix this

Trash

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.

The best place to watch chess online

The app works well too.

Help

Keep getting problems getting my email password back

Follow top games

Basically use it to follow all top games.

One of the worst I’ve ever seen

Terrible

Won’t even let me register for the site.

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?

Horrible

This is by far the worst chess app. The idiot developers essentially forgot about this app. AND when you do play, the win/loss calculation is frankly retarded. How would someone lose over 40 points when they play someone who’s less than 200 rating points from them??????? Mr. Developer, you’re an IDIOT.
APP DELETED.

Really frustrated with this crap software

Just posting this to get the developers to fix this game or scrap it. IF YOU ARE LOSING, JUST DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET AND THE GAME WILL FREEZE FOR THE OTHER PLAYER SAVING YOU A LOSS. PLEASE USE THIS CHEAT ABUNDANTLY UNTIL THE CRAPPY DEVELOPERS FIX THIS ISSUE

It’s keep freezing

Since the last update the app freezes costs me games
Pls fix it

Keeps freezing since latest update

I have been playing on this app almost every day for a few years now. Since the latest update a week or two ago, the app keeps freezing during games, resulting in me losing games (and many rating points) for “losing connection.”
But there is nothing wrong with my connection. Other apps including other chess apps are working fine. Please fix this so that I can start enjoying this app again and get my rating back up!!

App freezes. Needs fix.

The app has consistently froze on me causing me to lose games. This app needs a patch.

It’s okay

I don’t understand the complaint it’s a okay chess app. There is some things that are not adding unlike other chess apps. There is still puzzles and more. They also have a Magnus bot. The rating also starts you at 1500.

Tournaments page not load

Chess24’s tournament list has a bunch of interesting tournaments to follow. Recently that tab takes forever to load.

Horrible user interface

Tournaments to watch doesn’t even load.

Load times are terrible

I like to keep track of tournaments on my phone through this app. However, the load times on the app are horrible. I sometimes have to close the app and reopen it before the current tournament list will load.

Needs Work

As a longtime chess player (1900+) and avid chess technology user, I’m going to give my feedback in hopes the developer takes it seriously.

The chess playing interface and controls are mediocre at best. Very limited time control options. No incremental time options (2/1, 3/2, etc). No ability to control rating range of players. No ability to limit play to members only so you get guests a lot. The board isn’t very nice, the piece color options are limited, etc, etc.

Maybe I missed a set of options somewhere but that would be an issue also. User friendliness is critical.
