User reviews

Upgrade harassment

So every level you play you get a popup message asking you upgrade. I got so fed up I'm deleting on principle.

Bad app

Could have been good but: 1) distracting ads, and 2) prompts to 'upgrade' are so utterly annoying. Nothing wrong with getting paid for your work, but it should not be at the expense of creating a chess app which is simple, beautiful and enjoyable to use.

One puzzle? Really?

Only one puzzle... And it is the basic "fools mate" lesson. Very simple. Not worth downloading

Does not work

Does not run, text overlays itself, pieces cannot moved.

How this got through QA is a mystery.

Has potential, but...........

I cannot proceed through the Tutorial since it keeps freezing.
